FHWE Rewards - Excess boats & Equipment

Hi 

I have a few suggestions for the Fishing Hard Work Event.
  1. On the very first HWE it was nice to receive boats as rewards, not so much now though. (What are we supposed to do with extra boats if you already have a full fleet)
  2. I recommend looking at the Hard work rewards (again what is the use of receiving crew for boats that you do not have and never will)
  3. How about adding additional rewards, maybe up to 1 800 000 points

    Here's a suggestion...put the fish in the fishing holes needed to participate in the event.!  :#

    I have 6 active fishing holes, and not a one has oysters in them...at first they did but now only lobster is there in one, shrimp and lobster in another(where the oysters were also). A member suggested I upgrade a speed boat to level 4   (I had upgraded to lvl3).... Then pools would restock. I hope that works.  :) 

    Anything else I should do ?  

    *OKAY...I bought the Norfolk wherry  and a pond showed up with oysters, clams & shrimp.  :p

    What level are you, if you can scrap the speed boat and build a trawler, you are welcome to use my Dockyard calc to find the fastest way to empty the spot, it can be found under the tutorials section of the forum.
    ps compared to a trawler even a level 6 speed boat sucks.

    also wasnt the  norfolk wherry in the first  FHW event a level 6? im sure it was because i have a level 6 and i know i havent upgraded it to that level i am on a diff group this time though  46-55 i was in 40-45 last time, do the rewards go down ?

    ps i also dont need either of the boats that are prizes ;)

    Thank you DoctorX (INT1)...I will use your calculations and pass them onto my co-op as well !  

    ps...but the speed boats are sure fun in real life  B)

    * Looks like I am a level 4 in the Dockyard and it says I have to be a level 8 to build a trawler  :(   looks like I got work to do  :o

    It costs a lot more to produce a level 4 skipjack than a level 6 wherry , so it is an improvement .

    Since I have 14 level 6 trawlers and am starting to get skipjacks, non-trawler crew, motorboats, etc. from the fishing HWE, what happens to those excess boats in my inventory?  I know I can simply trash them, but at some point  will I be able to swap them for village decos, or some other items needed for my trawlers or at least get some monetary exchange for them?

    @FarmerCli (US1) I like your idea of doing something with your obsolete boats other than just demolishing them.  :)   I was also thinking of something along those lines, maybe something similar to Greta that will let you dismantle your smaller boats so you can use the parts to improve your bigger boats. :)

    Yes, but hopefully, the Greta-demolished parts from the boats would be the same as the "decoration parts" that are in our inventories.  That way we could have Greta use them to build up our decos on our farms.  But maybe GGS is considering enabling our trawlers to be up to level 7 or 8 instead of 6....All my 14 trawlers are as high as they can go.  The only other option for me (without trashing the obsolete boats) is for GGS to allow us to have more that 14 boats.
  • Hi Guys,

    We did ask about the boat rewards after the 1st FHWE & don`t worry, they are not going to be a long-term thing. They are a nice boost for the first runs of the event, as everyone would have just started out with a motorboat & a lot of people didn`t get into the dockyard in time for the first event, due to having to complete their fishing tasks. We will pass on the suggestion to be able to recycle them, as we are aware they cannot be built if you already have 14 boats.

    Keep posting your suggestions for things that you would like to see as rewards & we will pass those on for when the boats are replaced. :)

    Do you suppose that these boat rewards can remain for the lower fishing levels (such as the lower 3 groupings of HWE) and then the reward boats be replaced for the upper 2 groups to be reward gear items for the trawler as most everyone in these groups basically only have trawlers?  WascallyWabbit, will you ask GGS about this?  Maybe with something specific like this request, they will consider.  Thank you for checking in on this!  :D

    Don't be so sure of everyone having all trawlers I like the lil runabout for doing the oyster shrimp clams much quicker more suited for this fishing than the trawler IMO as well as cleaning out small amt in other spots.

    How about adding some mystery boxes, or tokens for the new event,

    Yep!  I can't afford all trawlers........well, I guess I could, but choose not to spend ALL my farm dollars on the boats, I guess....I think I have a well rounded fleet though.......4 trawlers (lvl 3) 2 skipjacks (lvl 4), 2 wherries (the lvl 6 I won during the first HWE and a lvl 5) 3 runabouts, and 3 motorboats all lvl 6's.....I also use my smaller boats the way Damaria describes....for fast hauls and cleaning out small amounts in fished out holes.......

    I leave one slot open in my fleet... this way I can build these boat rewards and then demolish for cash :)

    I also leave the slot open in case I want to build a speedboat for those quickie hauls and then demo it... I know many won't like this idea, but works for me! :)  and I have fun speeding around  the region!!!!!
  • It would be nice to be able to sell the fishing equipment that we dont need. Trade it for other equipment or something. The rewards for the fishing HWE gave things for boats I never plan on having so now they are just taking up space in my inventory and no way to get rid of them

    @Farmer Anna (US1) We have pointed out to the team that there is no easy way to get rid of unwanted equipment & that it is inconvenient on page 1 when trying to load the boats - it is being looked in to. :)

    One downside to having only Trawlers:  For the FHWE event, I needed to spawn a new pool fast to get the right fish.  I had a 3-hour Shrimp pool I figured I'd fish out with a Trawler.  The fastest I was able to set up the Trawler to fish it out was 2 1/2 hours.  So I tried setting up a couple of Runabouts and was able to fish out the pool in 1 1/2 hours with them.  For day-to-day fishing, all Trawlers may be best, but other boats have their advantages as well.

    I harvested fish and reached productivity level 10, the time drops by a huge amount, for7,  8, 9, and 10 from 5 hours to 2 hours, to 30 minutes to 6 minutes.  What productivity level is best to stop at?
