    Lobster traps. Sunflowers are at least useful for events and sell for a good bit of money. Lobster traps however are totally redundant, worthless, and do absolutely nothing.

    Yes, sunflowers were a good little earner when I was ata lower level but lobster traps !!  ???

    Sunflowers give more event drops (Coconuts, UFO parts, Tracks, Bread Crumbs, etc)  than any other seed in the game, bar none. If you need event drops and plan to use Seaweed Humus to get them quickly, Sunflowers are the go-to seed. Or if you plan on being away from the game for 8+ hours (work or whatever), then Sunflowers are great to get those event drops without spending 10+ hours in front of the computer growing Wildflowers every 2 minutes (which have a lousy drop rate anyway..) :)

    As far as the most useless reward from MYSTERY BOXES, my vote would go to Seaweed Greenhouse Humus. You need HUNDREDS of those things to make them worthwhile (to use on special seeds), and they save you what, an hour? 90 minutes?

    I save them, though - then I turn them all in at the end of the year for spins on Santa's Wheel. :)

    Seaweed Greenhouse Humus has a purpose - use it on regular Lime (or comparable other island seed)  - only requires one - to get drops for the Wedding event.  Otherwise I agree, rarely use the stuff.
  • Lobster traps - why? answers anywhere from anyone will do!  no point in them whatsoever that I can see!  but will save them for satan's slider thingie next Christmas if they still drag that out rather than give us something different.  

    One more, I have goodness knows how many martian pigsty skins - far more than the pigsty's I have got, and 5 Indian doghouse skins when we can only have 3 dogs!  Cant sell them, cant donate them, they are useless! which brings me to a suggestion - as a really nice thing for players - a swap meet/swap shop option.  Being GGS and we know nothing is for free etc., so how about letting us trade in 2 unwanted skins for 1 we really want?  Or even better have a Greta type trader for unwanted skins, for coins, dollars, deco parts, even feed - doesn't matter - it would give them a use.

    I always plant sunflowers during double XP.  I do have a lot of them. Special Seed Rutabagas are what I hate.  Spin the wheel and get some... why do they think it's an amazing prize? I constantly make regular chum from lobster, but they do pile up. Also, I don't understand the designation of mystery box, bronze, silver and gold... they have the same prizes! I would think the gold would give MORE or better prizes.

    They do give more.

    Bronze gives 20 seaweed fertilizer, for instance. Silver gives 30.  Gold gives 50. The Silver Box with Gold Trim (which is labeled "Gold Mystery Box") gives 60. etc., etc.

    I don't think these are as useless, I save them and use them every time I get a double the experience points booster, helps level up quicker as you get over 10k points for planting.

    I LOVE Sunflower seeds. Combine them with seaweed during Golden Week, and I am raking in the lucky coins. When I have a lot saved up, I can usually finish in the top ten. 

    As for useless rewards, to me, special rutabaga seeds ranks right up there. Don't need any of those coop collectables that we seem to get tons of. Don't have a lab, so catalyzers are useless to me as well.
  • GrammaLeah (US1)GrammaLeah (US1) US1 Posts: 611
    Do the sunflowers really do that?
    it seems they take so long, that planting multiple shorter seeds would get you more drop items in the long run.
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Greenhouse seaweed humus is the most useless reward...........it should not be in gold mystery boxes! If it was in a regular mystery box it wouldn't be so bad but who here has gone to open a gold box expecting something good like gold, goldflowers or tokens and then becoming horrified even angry when its seaweed greenhouse humus?

    I love the sunflower seeds!  For me, goldfish pellets are the absolute most useless prize.

    Agree. I rarely use it, and then only if I need some quick fruit for the boat and I'm short.

    I use them primarily with seaweed, or sometimes, overnight. They give you an average of 108 per harvest, so if you're using seaweed for instant harvest, that's pretty good.

    This is an old list, based on the Leprechaun event, but it seems to work well for some other events. I don't know if it's been updated on CBF's site -- couldn't find it -- so take it with a grain of salt.  When I'm using seaweed, I go for the highest amount per harvest.  If I'm not using seaweed, I may use different seeds based on highest amount per hour.

    Amounts are PER FIELD and sorted by highest/lowest:

    Main Farm:
    Wildflowers: 60 per hour (2 minute harvest)*2
    Alfalfa: 48 per hour (3 minute harvest)*2.4
    Corn: 36 per hour (5 minute harvest)*3
    Rutabaga: 26.6 per hour (9 minute harvest)*3.99
    Cabbage: 12 per hour (45 minute harvest)*9
    Wheat: 7 per hour (6 hour harvest)*42

    Special Alfalfa: 21.4 per hour (14 minute harvest)*4.99
    Special Wheat: 18.4 per hour (30 minute harvest) *9.2
    Special Rutabaga: 13.6 per hour (45 minute harvest)*10.2
    Special Corn: 12.4 per hour (1 hour harvest)*12.4
    Special Wildflower: 12 per hour (30 minute harvest)*6
    Special Cabbage: 8.5 per hour (4 hour harvest)*34

    Rose: 65.2 per hour (30 minute harvest)*32.6
    Rapaseed: 57.9 per hour (35 minute harvest)*33.77
    Violet: 48.8 per hour (45 minute harvest)*36.6
    Yellow Hibiscus: 48.8 per hour (45 minute harvest)*36.6
    Rice: 45.8 per hour (55 minute harvest)*41.98
    Magic Bean: 37.8 per hour (1 hour, 20 minute harvest)*50.4
    GoldFlower: 20.4 per hour (2 hours, 20 minute harvest)*47.6
    Sunflower: 13.5 per hour (8 hour harvest)*108

    Gourmet Farm:
    Dandelions: 45 per hour (28 minute harvest)*21
    Barley: 19.6 per hour (3 hour harvest)*58.8
    Lamb's Lettuce: 9.5 per hour (7 hour harvest)*69.3

    Spec. Lamb's Lettuce: 17.6 per hour (45 minute harvest) *13.2
    Spec. Dandelions: 10 per hour (7 hour harvest) *70
    Spec. Barley: 9.3 per hour (8 hour harvest) *74.4

    Flower Farm:
    Jasmine: 28.3 per hour (2 hour harvest) *56.6
    Lavender: 15.1 per hour (5 hour harvest) *75.5
    Vanilla: 14.3 per hour (6 hour harvest) *85.8
    Aloe Vera: 14.3 per hour (6 hour harvest) *85.8

    I feel animal feed is the most worthless rewards that we get.

    I love the sunflowers seeds. They are great for double xps and $$$$.



  • sue1 (AU1)sue1 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 193
    Sunflower seeds are great to plant overnight.  Most of the fishing stuff is useless to me now but I can see that they would be useful to lower level players as are the ordinary feed.

    I so agree with you!

    @WiseWing please take notice and bring this up to the GGS team.

    I was just updating the level 56 - 999 hard work rewards for the FHWE and I came across a major reason for them to overhaul their rewards generator.

    #20 reward is 125 Premium goat feed when you reach 181,000 points
    #22 reward is 80 Premium goat feed when you reach 256,000 points
    Now you tell me, What is wrong with that picture? You need more points and you get less produce.

    I have taken a screenshot for you, but the event is still active so you can check for yourself to be sure.


  • DebRN (US1)DebRN (US1) US1 Posts: 697
    I have noticed that sort of thing on many of the event rewards. I would expect rewards worth more as you get more points. Spinning the wheel of fortune is like that too. Why can I get higher Rep points spinning the first wheel than I do in the bonus round? 
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    Exactly @DebRN (US1), I have had that happen to me too and the wheel for silver coins dose the same thing. I can spend 1 token and when 40 coins then in the bonus round I only get 20 coins. They realy need to go back to the drawing board with these rewards.
  • Sunflowers are a great gift!  With double xp a minimum of 10K xp per plot, plus they sell for a nice amount. The worst wheel prizes? The wet feed that they used to have, so glad they changed that! The game is not perfect, but there are more important issues than the contents of a mystery box or wheel prize. The wheel is a game of chance, just like gambling. The mystery boxes are prizes won, they cost nothing, unless you actually used gold to buy extra or made them in your lab.
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    I have to add goldfish pellets to the list of useless prizes, at least to me. We make more than we need for missions, and often have to wait before we can donate them to the pond.

    True, that is the current equivalent of wet feed.

    Reward system needs good things and bad things , to be balanced :)

    As strange as it sounds, i find nearly everything to have a use ( even if some are very limited in time )

    I have cats on all 3 farms now. Still getting Cat Charms as rewards!  :D

    You do know that cat charms are a "choose one" gift, and the 4th choice is something other than a cat charm? :)

    LOVE getting sunflowers and seaweed humus -- you can really mop up on some events using them together when you need a lot of drop items quickly.
