    You get the best prices for your buildings, if youself demolish them.
    on the other side, if you let GGS demolish your buildings, you can continue using them to production until the Island/viking farm ends.

    I know you get half runes for some stuff when the island goes away but dose anyone know what you get nothing for?

    IE: for fields you get something but for deco you get nothing.

    Whether you demolisch yourself or let the system do it after the event has finished, you will always get runestones/shells for every single production item and deco you build. You also get runestones/shells for left over dollars in the vault/bank, and for every upgrade you did to the permanent buildings (vault/bank, bar, fence, gate, Viking workplace, main building).

    When you demolish yourself before the end of the event you get 100% runestones/shells for demolition - if you let the system do it afterwards, you get 50% for demolition.

    Whether you want to demolish yourself or leave it up to the system, depends on what your intentions were. Did you plan to win the final ship and thus finish Chapter 3? Then you should go on till you have that ship.
    Did you only want to do some produce on the island to gain enough runestones/shells to keep your horses racing, then it is probably more profitable to demolish things some days before the event finishes. Just do the maths.

    Happy farming ^^

    Stef - if you hover over your decorations' demolish button on the Viking Farm, it will tell you how many runestones you will get when you demo them. If you demolish the Farm yourself, you will get every runestone you have coming to you, but if GGS does it, you will only get half of those runestones.

    Thank you all so much that clears the whole thing up.

    I finished the island with all books and tasks about 10 days ago and was working toward the duck coop but it is still way out of my reach so I was trying to figure out what was the next best move.

    Thank you all again

    What happens to deco that was received from buying gold in prime time and never built it? Will I lose that?

    What happens if you put the decorations in storage, do you still lose them? or will they be there when you get the farm back?

    A suggestion. continue harvesting crops from the fields and converting them to runes until the farm is done. The amounts you get from demolishing your items is far less than harvesting crops.

    How about the exchange rate from island dollars to rune stones?
    If one has for instance 1M dollars, is it wiser to update the buildings/fields with it and get more demolishment runes OR leave the dollars unused? IE: is the money more worth in the bank or in the investments?

    Island dollar are worth pretty much nothing. I advice you spend up as much as possible on your island farm!

    Every deco you gained/bought (and dropped in yr island dropbox) while on the island farm stays on the island, and thus vanishes with the island when the event ends.

    Every deco you gained for your permanent farms will drop in the dropbox of your permanent farms so they stay yours forever and you can build them on any of the 3 farms you want.
    If you want to buy island decos mend to be build on your permanent farms, then you can only buy them at the rune/shell trader Benny Buddler!

    post #10: So, look in your dropboxes: everything in the island dropbox will vanish with the island when the event ends - everything in the permanent farms dropbox will stay yours.

    That's why I only transfer dollars to Island dollars when I need some in this last few days. I won't be able to finish the task I'm working on, so I only produce to earn as many runes as possible.

    Hmmm, maybe Jiesta's answer in post #15 can be misunderstanding?

    Just to clarify:
    It's correct what Jiesta says about the storage and dropbox deco's on the permanent farms, you'll keep these deco's also after the island/viking farm is gone.

    But deco's you have in the island's/vikings storage/dropbox disappear when the island/viking farm ends.

    Thanks for the advice Min0o - but how much is "prettty much nothing"? 1/2 0r 1/4 worth of the island dollars? Does anyone know?

    I'm afraid there's no info on how many runestones you get for your left-over island dollars :(

    Someone posted here after one of the earlier islands, that the rate worked out to be 100 to 1 .... No idea if thats acurate or not.

    I have tried putting decorations into storage with no luck the next time it came around, all gone! Best to demo them before the time runs out to get the most out the farm. ie Viking or Island farm.
