Yeah I was going to say, I've been helping these baby llamas on one farm every day, so I know it's not just once per stage.

That mean if your animal/crop get helped, it need to wait until next day to get another help (oh, and you must accept the help before reset time, if the time pass, it remain blue and so if you accept the help in new day, it need to wait another day to get help again).
oh i didn't know that! thanks~

Oh another thing about receiving help is that you can't leave your farm window running for too long without reloading or visiting someone else's farm, or you won't see what's been helped. Make sure you're reloading periodically or going to other farms, so you can see an updated farm view once in a while. :)

Awe. You don't have to wait around on the harvest things, DAC. I'm like you where I like harvesting all of them at the same time, so please, everyone, just help whatever animals/crops you want to for collection items/etc. XD

You can also just click on something that's doesn't need to be sped up (rock, trees, left out crops) first and then click on the other things that.

That way when the person comes back then they can harvest the animals, reseting the time, and the click on the first item to get the time bonus for the animals.

I don't think I'll be done with the collect geese feathers for a long time. I haven't seen a whole bunch of people who have them (unless I spam the 4 islands I have seen with them).

Ouch, geese collecting sounds hard. D: Sorry I don't have one ahaha. But yeah, if I have a hard to find animal/item like that, I bookmark the islands with them.

Also, I apologize for all the random trees in the way of my animals on my farm; I'm trying to get a huge stock of wood going (and also on the instrument quest lol) so that I don't run out hopefully for a while.

You know, I think it would be nice if we could see what other things have been helped without hovering over the first blue one. Like maybe the ones helped if you click on the blue are highlighted all the time in green or purple so that you know without having to hover over and be like "okay, what else lights up with this".

While I've been working on these rabbits (I just did a big 18 time trade) I've decided I might have better luck with just getting my own goose so I'm also working on that now.^^;


I also had supper foresty farm when I did the instrument quest so I understand :lol: One of the people who visited me lately has like a hide-and-seek farm where like everything is squeezed between fruit trees.

I used to want them to do something about the highlighting too, but I like it now. It's just that I have to zoom out on the map. Hmm the different color thing could work, but I still want to see who did what so I would still have to pay attention when I click the first item.

i thought. someone's just been randomly clicking trees -_-. Then when i read this. OH OK. so that's why. xD. I need more harvest sprites! that's why i'm taking the quests in line with it. also I read in one of the pages here that you have a max of 18 sprites?

It is 19 now, not counting the temporary ones if you pay to buy the horn. The 19th one is somewhere at the bottom, after one of the trade shops iirc.

For me, I don't like that idea. My island don't have much rocks, trees. I'll get rid all trees and rock when my sprites is free. And my internet connect is slow and it's a weak PC, my island lagging to load, I'm lazy to visit other island and comeback to renew the help.

I need a bunch of help, if they click the rocks, trees...I lose 1/3 help (or 1/5 if they're in friend list), and if I don't know someone just come and help (because I'm not renew my island yet), they click one rock and 2 animal (for example), and my sprite just complete their job, so I go to destroy the rock, when the rock gone with the first help gone too because I'm not renew the island yet, I lose 3 help (2 animal can't get help again). :(

In friend case, if they're do that, I'll lose 5 help. :o

For the Instrument Quest, I just run to the map and look for new island (small hut symbol and low lever), they have a bunch of trees. But it's still take a week to complete. :?

The instrument quest made me suffer for weeks.
I spent 3-4 hours (and sometimes more) everyday clicking trees on other people islands'
You also need to click on trees that are being chopped or the stump, otherwise you can't get the items.

I also don't really like people helping me chopping trees or breaking stones when there is no related quest is active (like the instrument quest, for example). That's why I get rid them fast before they cover my island xD

I don't think you get what I mean. Okay say for starters you visit a farm with 3 horses that someone wants to raise as quickly as possible. You are not their friend so you can only help them 3 times.

**But when you visit their farm it's only like 5 minutes until the growth stage is over. Also the person's farm you're visiting isn't online.**

If you click on all 3 of the horses, 1 of those horses will not get the time speed up bonus, by the time that person come has back to the farm. When the person, whose farm you are visiting, does come back he/she can only tell the sprites harvest and continue raising the animals that did not get clicked on first for help. The one that was helped first, cannot be harvested until the help has been activated.

Meaning that when you click on that first horse instead of a "time speed up bonus" they will only get a "item rate increase bonus". The other two horses that were harvested and the sprites are tending to again will get the speed bonus, but now those 2 horses are going to be done before the horse that was clicked on first.

So when it comes to getting a time bonus you basically lost 1/3 of your help by clicking on all 3 horses.

By clickiing a item where time growth doesn't matter, 2 of the animals can have the time sped up and someone else who comes to help that person on that island can do the same so that the 3rd horse can also get a time bonus.

Also just because someone clicks on a rock doesn't mean that you have to destroy that rock. Just click on it to get the help after you tell the sprites tending to the animals to continue their work.


But to each his own. When I want things to grow faster, I prefer that method. ^_^;

Well some people are doing the help method I described. Others however are likely clicking trees for the instrument quest. :P

Of course I know what you mean, the problem is you can't know if that person are online or not (or you can, but I don't know how).

I'm often spent 3 hours or more non-stop online without renew my island. For example, at starters, I'm online at 1:00 PM and I have 10 Horses need wait 1 more hour to harvest, none of them get help yet, I have a bunch of rocks, but my sprite is busy, all of them take caring the dogs and need 1 more hour to finish.

At 1:30 PM, someone visit me, he/she want to click the Horses, and see they just need to wait for 30 minutes to harvest, so he/she click a rock and 2 Horses.

At 2:00 PM, my sprite finish the work with dogs, so I harvest the Horses and destroy all rock without renew my farm. The rock destroy work finish at 3:00 PM. The result is the first help gone without notice (the rock), so 2 helps with Horses is gone too (because I can't click the first help anymore).

At 4:00 PM, I decide to rest soon so I visit other islands and help them, when I come back, I see 8 of my Horses get helped, except 2, so result I might lose all 10 helps if I wait for those two Horses get help (because I can't know that those two Horses get helped, but when other people visit my farm, they see all 10 Horses in blue already). :(

If that person help 3 of my Horses from start, it'll better.

By the way, when I do the Instrument Quest, I asked 2 of my friends to leave 5 stumps, so everyday I have 10 stumps to click (small and medium). Of course before that I helped them complete some hard Quests, so they willing to help me back.

For the large tree, I wait for the Oak Trees growth on my island and chop them with the team 10 sprites (I feel like if you do many things at same time, you have more chance to get collection Item than normal). I chop down all Pine Tree when they just spout (not reach the small stage yet).

Though I visit many islands to click the trees too but it's really boring since some island just get abandoned (everything is blue), and just with 3 clicks, seem like nothing come out. :sleep:

I'll start to leave some tree stumps in my island for a week, so hope that'll help.
