    I've collected from coops probably 30-40 times, pigs 2-3 times, and the cowshed - but have not seen a single breadcrumb in the lot. I haven't gotten any from the other processing buildings, either.

    I'm getting 0-3 per cornfield, though.

    Yes, I too have had no crumbs at all from the mill, silo, composter, or any animals. I've been getting an average of 1 per cornfield, although I have actually seen as many as 3 per field on rare occasions. I just got a total of 20 split across my three apple orchards on one farm, though, and 15 on the other, and my cabbage fields averaged 3 each.

    Orchards and fields, then, for the breadcrumbs.

    I guess that makes sense, since the storybook pages were an animal by-product. Perhaps a little something extra got into their feed. :D

    Aye, if you look at the info '?' on the quest it states "You can find breadcrumbs when harvesting the fields and orchards on your main farm"

    Though after running chicken coops nearly non stop to keep up with my fields, I have found that they can (very rarely) give a +8 breadcrumb.

    Best of luck to all!

    Well, obviously! Pages made only of the finest vellum and parchment! ;>


    ...from animals that lived a long, happy, and fruitful life and died peacefully in their sleep, of course!

    Not sure if this helps anyone... but I decided to do an experiment.

    In one field I planted the magic beans. In the other 4 fields I planted corn. During the entire growing time of the magic beans, I was getting 3/4 and heaps of 4/4 fields with breadcrumbs. When the magic beans were finished they also gave 20 breadcrumbs!

    Going to save the other 2 magic beans for the last task..... fingers crossed they help there as well.

    They may indeed be magic beans lol........

    Suzie, I had much the same experience. The roses failed me — not all of those provided crumbs — but the beans came through! Sadly, I didn't think to save any for later. :-/

    Oh Montuos..... that is sad.... But looking on the bright side... perhaps u can buy 1 for the last task!! Not sure yet if it is going to work yet though :)

    Glad to hear that you had a similar experience with the breadcrumbs! Good to know that I wasn't in fairyland at the time.... hahaha

    With a level 5 farmhouse, yes, but it's 7:29:10 with a level 4 cabin on the gourmet farm. Which farm are you building on, and what level is your farmhouse/cabin there?

    Yesterday when I saw breadcrumbs coming from the chicken coop I thought I was imagining it. Good to know I wasn't just seeing things from staring too long at the computer :)

    On the last task, yeah!!!! I don't seem to be getting many fireflies, but I am waiting for my cowfeed to be ready, and I have plenty of time. Good luck to everyone 8)

    Blimey Elizabeth, well done, you're way ahead of me ! I'm two thirds of the way through the breadcrumbs, none from the constantly running coops (3xL1, 2xL2) tho.

    Who tried the magic beans during task 6? Did you get a magic amount of fireflies? :)

    Read the farmhouse/cabin information - the time varies according to the level of your farmhouse/cabin. It takes 10:42 at level 1, 9:37:30 at level 2 etc

    For fireflies
    - Cow feed - 15 each (not 100% on this one)
    - chicken feed - 1 each
    - pig feed - 2 each
    - silo - 5 each
    - composter - 10 each
    - wildflower - 1 each
    - cherry orchard - 25 each

    Don't know for wheat or cabbage as I didn't find any when harvesting :(

    Okay i am at level 42 in the game and now i am at task 3.

    I need to collect:
    90 Fallen Leaves
    And donate:
    1,350 Wild Flowers.

    The Reward is:
    3 Rose Seeds
    3 Magic Bean Seeds

    I have 2 Apple Orchards 1 level 3 and 1 level 4 who were ready with 21 leaves as soon as i started task 3.
    Which means i will need to harvest them 4 times each and harvest my level 3 Cherry orchard once to complete task 3. So i will be done with task three in the morning. YAY! :D

    Harvested wheat from four fields 3 times and found 0 fireflies, I found wildflower/corn/cabbages to be more reliable.

    Whoop whoop !

    Finally found the mythical breadcrumbs from the coop.

    I got two loads and I have a feeling that they were 10 each. Both appeared in quick succession when the task was about 90% complete -

    8960876320_e4ed930097_o.jpg

    I also got an 8 from a level 2 field as the final one to complete the task - the 200 or so harvests before that had yielded only 1s.

    How long is it taking people to complete task 6; the fireflies ?

    I backed off using my silo and composter from task 4 when they weren't needed and have maximised my stock levels and have about 2 days worth of feed to throw at the task if it proves difficult.

    Finally found some fireflies in cabbage (5 each) after running cabbage in 4 fields 4 times. Either my luck has turned bad or the fireflies are not as plentiful. It took me about 4 in a half to 5 hours to get 1/3 of the way through task number 6, so if it keeps going this way it will take me at least a day and a half. It had taken 7 hrs for me to find the storybook pages and 5 to find the breadcrumbs. Only getting the fireflies it seems about 25% to 40%, where on the others it seemed I would get something 60% to 75% of the time.

    On third try got fireflies from cowshed (I received 20 with it).

    Been at least a day or so for this task. Sitting at 753/1,060 fireflies.
