Filling the ship

Teri2 (US1)Teri2 (US1) US1 Posts: 33
I can usually fill the boat right away with the 1st 4 items. But the island fruits......I do not have a large enough quantity of product, nor do I have any seeds to plant. Seems stupid to have to wait the 5 hours... don't have seeds, not gonna get seeds, not gonna grow the fruits. Any way I can get the boat to leave early? Thanks.

    Unfortunately no, once the airport has been opened & the 2 bottom slots on the ship get unlocked, they stay unlocked forever & each time a new temporary farms opens you re-open the airport to change the ship to the new products...... For example if the Viking island comes next & you open the airport, your ship will start to ask for berries instead of exotic fruits.

    You can choose from 4 different amounts by scrolling the bottom 2 slots with the arrows on them, so if you do get a few berries you can make them last as long as possible...The ship will always ask for the largest amount you can cover, but you don`t have to use that amount if you want to send less.

    So, as long as I don't open the airport again, it won't ask my for fruits/berries, is that right?

    No Calfuray - I am sorry to say so - but if once opened the airport to get to the Island event - the unlocked slots no 5 and 6 stay open. Nothing can be done about it, you will never be able to change the ships loads back to only 4slots again! :S

    Another tip: remember that the ship will only give you rewards for 2, 4 or 6 loads. So try to avoid sending the ship away with 1, 3 or 5 loads, which would be wasting your precious products!

    I played all 3 chapters of the island event only once. All I nowadays do is only growing oranges, mangos, peacocks and making slushes in the Island bar (or their equivalents on the Viking farm) and this way I get more than enough shells to keep my horses going! ;)

    Correct, the ship asks for fruits from the last island you have visited.

    Well that's painful. I should never have opened it! Thank you for the answer.

    I think we need to have a way to send the ship off when we cannot fill it. Could this be a future change, perhaps?

    As I have suggested elsewhere, having the whole Island/Ship/Horseranch not become available until around level70 would seem a good idea to me.

    So my island farm event is closed, I can no longer purchase tropical fruit seeds, but the stupid ship still wants tropical fruit to fill it? LAME! On what planet does that make sense? Worst idea ever!

    The idea is that you gather as many bags of seed that you can during the event and then you'll have to carfully send the number of fruits that you can afford with the ship.. You don't always have to use the maximum amount. But honestly, to get enough shells/runestones for it to work you'll have to have a lot of farm dollars (and gold) to spend on the event farms. Not easily done if your not at a higher level.
    As said by many players before me: they open up the event farms way too early!

    But hey! In a few days the viking farm will be available and you can start collecting berry seeds.. The boat will then ask for them..

    No Amandak, that is one of the challenges of that event! There are many threads on this topic already where you could have read about this.

    You are supposed to gather enough shells (or runestones) during the island event to trade them for seeds at the shelltrader, to plant these seeds in the Greenery, to get enough Tropical Fruits or Nordic Berries to be able to fill the last 2 slots of the ship.

    Very challenging indeed - but it can be done! Succes!! ^^

    So, if I understand all of the correctly, I have to wait for the Island farm to open, get involved in that in order for the ship to ask or llow me to use the thousands of fruit I have available to ship?

    If the last temporary farm that you opened was the Island, then your ship should already be asking for tropical fruits. It will continue to ask for fruits until you open a Viking island & then it will start to ask for berries.

    The next one (probably this weekend) is going to be a Viking island, so if you want to continue with fruits, do not do the airport tasks & open the Viking island.
