Criticism: Islands

Pontikka2Pontikka2 Posts: 5
I think there might be threads already about this subject but I tried my luck.. I think island tasks are way too hard! Or at least for people who is about lvl 60. I have spent about 5million dollars(who knows how much more really?!) and 30000 gold. Still I haven't been able to unlock even the first ship! I have played every day, but it is almost impossible. I feel really frustrated with this game at the moment, because my other farms are suffering and I didn't get anything out of the island..

    I'm sorry you are having such a tough time of it. While the temporary farms can be opened at level 30, to have any chance of success with them, you should have your 3 main farms well- developed and making money. I'd say you should probably be level 80 or higher. That said -- you have tried the temporary farm and now the ship will always ask for the greenhouse seeds. The new market has been making me some money to help me re-coup from the drain of the temporary farm. Perhaps you can also recover by utilizing the market? Good luck!

    Have a look at "Island Farm Minimum Harvesting" in Tips and Tricks post numbers 3 and 17.
    Like you, I was very disillusioned after my first attempts at the Island but this strategy works.
    4mill runes for 4mill dollars and buys enough seeds to minimum load Ship till next Island

    I may be wrong, but I think the ship that Pontikka is referring to, is the Viking ship deco reward for completing Chapter 1 John.

    Pontikka, I was level 41 when we got the very 1st island & like everyone else, I jumped right in, before we realised it was totally unsuitable for such low levels. I agree that it eats your money faster than you can make it, but you shouldn`t have any problem finishing chapter 1 in the time. I think I got to about task 2 or 3 in chapter 2 & after that I switched to just farming, because I knew I couldn`t complete chapter 2.

    Maybe someone on the SKN server will see this thread & can take a look at your Viking farm for you, to see if thery can offer any tips to get you to, at least, that 1st ship. :thumbup:

    You can also try asking for help on this thread.... Help For Nordic Players ... As the people helping on that thread will be ok SKN1 like you.

    I have had a look at your Vikingfarm Pontikka :)
    You havent ANY decos, then it must be terrible expensive to do anything on that farm
    I suggest you put some decos on :)
    Apart from that, it looks fine :)

    Absolutely Scissors.
    Trippels strategy got me to Chapter 2, task 2 for only $4million and no gold. Works a treat! :¬)

    Average cost to generate 1 Runestone is 5-10 dollars. You can estimate and plan how much dollars you want to dump to generate the Runestone.

    I hate that the farm is only temporary and then you have to start again sinking all that money into it again. Why not put us back where we were or something. I stopped playing cause it was eating all my farm money when I was in the 40s on my level. Now that I am almost to 62 I might try again

    Following Trippel's strategy I have been doing 1 runestone for slightly less than $1 spending around the $4,000,000 mark.

    Thank you for the answers! :) I think the problem is that I haven't put any decos there, so the everything cost a lot..The problem is always the "viking mug"-challenge.. Different plans next time then! :)

    when i did do the temp island the first time it appeared, I completed the first chapter, I used no gold, and it cost around 30 million or more, unsure. It is doable. Now, I do not even try anything other than use it as a diversion and limit myself to around 200,000 a day and even doing that have almost completed the first chapter
