    I know someone asked about collecting shells to earn the pearl prize but I was wondering what the easiest way to collect just 120,000 shells is. The first time I needed that many was easy because I collected most of them by demolishing my farm just to earn enough for the first sandcastle. If I want to proceed farther this time, collecting the shells seems like it is taking me forever. Any useful tips on the best way to collect the most shells?

    Sell drinks? Or if you have sold all your non-usables (peacocks, lemurs, drinks, etc) then Oranges/Orange Fizz.

    Actually, I haven't sold anything. Didn't really think of that. Now looking at the list of tasks I see that I will not need any of my already collected animals so I will sell some of them. Thank you so much for the tip.

    I have problems seeing the point in the island farm other than for the game owners to make much more money from the players, it is expensive, it can not be completed without using heaps of gold and in the end it gives you nothing more than a bunch of horse shoes that can be used on the horse ranch, a ranch that is not possible to expand with these heaps of shoes as you need to win golden shoes, and it is almost impossible to win even after completing all the training. Am I missing a point here, please enlighten me if I am. ^^

    I have problems seeing the point in the island farm other than for the game owners to make much more money from the players, it is expensive,

    And so what? - I have more than 300.000.000 farm-dollars.
    it can not be completed without using heaps of gold

    Wrong.
    It is possible to complete all the books whitout using gold on it, several players have do it.
    - However, I am not sure that the island can be implemented without gold this time, because of the shorter time we have available this time
    and in the end it gives you nothing more than a bunch of horse shoes that can be used on the horse ranch, a ranch that is not possible to expand with these heaps of shoes as you need to win golden shoes, and it is almost impossible to win even after completing all the training.

    Yes, the horse ranch has shown until now been a huge disappointment for most (if not all?)
    We can only hope that it becomes more interesting when one day it is possible to compete against other players.
    Am I missing a point here, please enlighten me if I am. ^^

    Ok, here goes:
    I regard the island as a worthy challenge in relation to the resources available to me (a big farm, much playing time, plenty of farm-dollars)
    - The "old" theme events is relatively easy for me to implement in their most difficult level. For example, I expect that today I will finish Fairy tale and right now there are 3 days left of it.

    I guess that there also are other players with high level and large farms who see the island as a worthy challenge.

    @ MariaPlayer 5:

    I found this forum thread abouut 3 chapters without gold.

    I believe this works, but I also believe it's only possible if you DO have lots of $ to start with. I didn't, so I will be happy if I manage Chapter 1.

    I think it's a good event. I just wish that a lil more could be saved from it, like the oasis deco for ex. And that the production costs wouldn't be that high. It takes too much dollars.

    I also understand that when you're as far as have been leveling up basically everything - you do need challanges.

    Fairy Tale I finished off without gold with 3 days left... And I'm now on level 35. The Island is a struggle though. lol. So I'm going for chapter one. IF I can do more, fine. Otherwise I hpe this comes back, but maybe first next year as it's so time and dollar consuming.

    The horses. Yes. That's a poor thing. A struggle that takes TONS of training to be able to win. Here more edges are needed I think. Like Winning a competition should give advancement in the training as skills develop. Also there should be for ex dung to get by clicking the stable once a day or so (like feeding the dog) it sould also be not so difficult to get all shoes necessary to train the horse. The gradient is way to steep. This needs more benefits.
    The good thing with the ship is that it's possible to also get $ from it. I like that! Hope that lasts even after the event.

    I'm trying to fill out my spreadsheet. Does anyone know the cost of the Lemurs for Level 3 and Level four upgrades?

    I didn't write the numbers down last time I played, and I'm not upgrading past Level 1 this go around.

    Hi I find this thread fantastic, totally informative and thank you for creating and maintaining it.

    I have a question about the accuracy of the "upgrade costs" link.

    From what I see in your sheet and what I see on my farm, you have the commas in the wrong spots.

    An island field, for example, is only $1,700,000. In your sheet you have $17,00,000.

    Level 3 lemur pen is $700,000

    Otherwise, thank you for this incredibly informative link, now and the others in the past.

    When the Island Farm Event ends, will it ever return? If so will I still have the same buildings and fields that I have now or will I have to start all over again?

    Yes, everything on the island will disappear and you have to start all over again

    But about your fisrt question, im not sure the island will come back next time since we will have new temporary viking farm, maybe the island will return after viking farm

    Think of it as an event. Like Hawaii, or Asia.

    When it ends, it will go away. It will come back in awhile... 4-6 weeks (maybe more if the Viking farm comes instead) Don't forget to spend shells at the Shell trader. And when it returns, like all events, it will be blank, and ready to start over.

    Hey to all of you farm members. I have a question if someone can please answer it. I am trying to name my island farm and it won't except it what do I have to do to rename it? Thanks Bethine

    Bjm: Use something different. I tried to rename my Island: "Kona Coast", after the Hawaiian location, but it didn't accept it. I assume there is some foreign hidden profanity or derogatory word hidden in there, but I can't find it. lol

    what is the benefit of hard work reward in island farm becoz gold player getting that reward ( collect 9crore shell and u get cow ), in 30 days. i think that non gold player is not able to collect 9crore shell if he or she playing continously island farm .
    if i play continuously 24* 30hrs then hardly i do not get more than 6 crore . so, this is unfair i
    think between gold player and non gold player, u should decrease the amount of shell of that reward

    Not really on the topic of this thread, but it is a simple answer. If you work hard you can get a lot of great rewards, 3 Sand Castles, a lemur statue, and possibly, the best decoration in all the game, the Pearl (well tied with the Winter Stone)... Your reward is, you get them for FREE.

    If you pay, and support the game, you get all those same things more easily, but you PAY. Your reward for reaching a minimum donation amount? Tropical Cowshed, Winter Ducks.

    Seems reasonable to me.

    On the bottom in your screen there is a row buttons. Management is the 6th button from the left. There is where you can sell your oranges,(the same as on your main farm).

    I see the Island Is back.Why do we have to start over everytime it comes back,seems a little shady that we gotta start all over and spend more money to build it up when we dont get to keep the Island..Whys is that?Id rather start were i left off the last time i played the Island...Makes the game fun but it does cost a lot of money to start all over...Why cant it come back were we left off...

    I for one, like to start over for the simple reason that I like getting the Deco's more than once :)

    Its just an event. Like the Taste of Asia event running. Its just more complex and takes longer and more resources.

    Yes i agree but its a pain in the rear when you gotta spend all they money Twice...waste of money if you ask me....at least let us keep the island,id rather keep the island than the second farm...its funnier and i like it more.but spending more money is a pain....Gotta be a better way to handle it...But if people like doing it twice then thats on them,id rather keep it...

    but what about the cowshed and pigsty , see gold player get pigsty , cowshed and all decos but non gold player only get decos because collect 9 crore is impossible for non gold player so this is not fair or ggs should increase time or he decrease the amount of shell required for coshed.

    You think its "fair" for a person to play a game for free, to get the same rewards as someone who supports the game with money so that you can play it for free?
