#2 The quest are RANDOM.I do not know why people cannot grasp this.The program inside the game that generates your quest for the day HAS NO IDEA if you spent $5 or $500.It also does not care.The quest you,or anyone else receives is pure dumb-luck.Your coin reward for completing a quest in of course determined by time,which is the only non-random factor.The chance of receiving farmcash is the same for everyone on every single quest.The possibility exist that a free player with no fc facilities can receive 10 quest in a row involving only coin purchased factories,and could receive 1 fc for each of them,while his neighbor who spent $900,has everything,completes 10 quest and gets 0 fc.
Now,with the fact that if you took an average of quest from a large enough sample,it may in fact be that those with more factories are gaining more fc than those without.However,it would be due to the fact that they are able to,on average,complete more quest.Just like buying lottery tickets,the more you buy,the more CHANCES you have to win...The odds however remain the same for each one.

This is the fairest way to do this.A completely random quest has a completely random chance of giving 1 fc.

Kudos! Now I can rest easy! I have spent my last $1 (U.S.) on facilities for the quests. Thank you for this explanation. Now:

HOW ABOUT EXPLAINING THIS TO ALL THE PLAYERS?
It could be added to the message we see when we first click on a new quest, either high-lighted or in bold italic with underlining.:D

I have all the factories and all the service facilities. I can help you finish your quests if you'd like to be friends. I've completed several and never had any problems.

In case no one has said anything yet, Virginia, it doesn't work that way. No-one can complete the final step in anyone else's facility, each of us has to use our own. You can help someone get ingredients by letting them harvest, or by sending them a gift, or by selling them what they need, but you cannot build the final product for them, and they cannot work your facilities to get the final product. +1 for trying to help, tho. :)

Plus, they would need to have the correct lifeline at just the right time that would allow them to work for you to get ingredients. the chances of getting what you need are much better if you just go to the market and ask to buy what you need or work for it. :)

So, what is the answer for the quests that require factories that we do not have and require FC to buy them? Is this a ploy to make more money for FT?

This is not a ploy for FT to make more money, if you do not have the factory to complete a quest, you will just have to let that quest expire and wait for the next one to open the next day. The quests are picked at random and FT doesn't care if you buy the factory needed to complete the quest.

[HelenJS22]

So, what is the answer for the quests that require factories that we do not have and require FC to buy them? Is this a ploy to make more money for FT?

This question has been asked and answered many times throughout this thread. Those who have done all the quests so far and have kept a record have found that they have been almost exactly a 50/50 balance of those that require farm cash facilities and those that require only coin facilities.

They have been quite fair about it and the choice is ours.

[LoreneC]

All businesses have ways they try to get you to part with your money. Whether or not you part with it is up to you.

I don't have all the cash facilities and I have not been able to complete all the quests. No biggie. I just wait and see what is available the next day.

if you have the EMPLOYEE lifeline you CAN work neighbours facilities to get what you need....I have done it and so have some of my friends... its only the final product you cannot get by working others facilities...:)

[FarmerWitch]

I have done a Quest a day since they started and am now thoroughly bored with the whole thing

[Marie Fews]

You do not have to do the quests to enjoy the game. I however have done a quest everyday and still enjoy doing them. I think they are a great addition to the game. :)

[wsbohannon]

I LOVE the quests... If i don't own a facility that does them, i use my life line... always fun......

[kourty]

Please explain to me why when I have a quest and it tells me what to harvest and I harvest it and yet it says nothing harvested.It happens on crops and trees , both fruit and choped ones I keep trying to do them but don't get credit for the work I do GRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!

[maggiel29]

Are you working on your OWN farm? It doesnt count if you work a neighbours unless you are using the employee lifeline. Also when you use the employee lifeline you need to harvest etc TEN of each item to get ONE for your quest.

Trees, crops, fruits, flowers, etc. all work the same: Do not harvest ahead! If the product is in storage when you start the quest, you can't use it!

You must harvest you own items on your own farm for them to work. You cannot hire someone to harvest. Or as stated if you are using a hire lifeline you can harvest for someone else but need to harvest 10 times what you need.

[mspuglover]

How am I supposed to load Bathroom Air Freshener in a Towmart when I do not even own a Towmart??? Why are quests being generated that require facilities that I do not own? I can't load these items in a neighbor's facility - so what am I supposed to do?
I have now gotten 4 quests that require facilities that I do not have in order to finish them. I live on fixed income and cannot afford to spend real cash in order to play these games. I thought that they were fun at first, but now I have to agree that it is not worth the aggravation. And I cannot spend real cash money in order to finish a quest.

[whosyou?]

Random............random........random.The quest are random.They are also optional.Having quest that you can't finish,while it may be a PITA,is not a big deal.You may have the next 10 quest all coin factory ones,and you are not obligated to purchase anything.BTW...The quest are Random.

[JW2009]

Hi, My MAIN complaint about the QUESTS is that LIFELINE, I wanted to Trade or Get eggs as a gift since i already harvested them earlier today, thinking i can trade or gift it, but it doesn't give you any option, it chooses for you, it gave me the LIFELINE "harvest" - Ofcourse i can do it already without a lifeline, i feel cheated out of lifeline, that "HARVEST" one should not be in it, or atleast give us the option to choose what LIFELINE we wish to use. Thank You and Happy Farming :)

[Tony D]

Ya, I also look forward to the QUEST each day, I just think we should be able to select which lifeline to use, also since alot of us are at 310 and have MAX points, and most facilities cost 27-33fc and tools 35-50fc and yet we only get 25 for each update with levels, I think 1 fc at the beginning per level was great, but now after level 300 we should get 2 fc per level so we can actually get a new thing when new things arrive - thank youHi , you would be best posting suggestions in the suggestion section .

I play my game and adjust my crops around my time.

I WILL NOT plan my time around playing my game and planning my crops...so I still don't do them. I'm still glad I don't even know they're there.

Yaaaaaaay! Thank you Slashkey for considering ALL of our opinions. :)

[ImajeanB]

I still do not understand why some are making such a big deal over quests....it is an opportunity to do something different and make lots of coins at the same time but...if you can't then why complain. Just do the ones you can and enjoy! Everything in life isn't completely free. You get what you pay for!
I want to thank the Slashkey staff for making FT the best game going!

[Miamine]

I have all the facilities and tools and I can't get to 5 concurrent quests. I thought the idea was to reward the higher level players

I actually thought the point of concurrent quests was to allow people to continue to play if they don't have a certain facility, or if they have to wait for several days for something to grow. I'm sure it says something about "up to 5 quests" implying less, rather than "will have 5 quests", implying 5 every time.

You are exactly right and it says "UP TO 5 quests" open not that you will have 5 quests open all the time.

[rbillnoski2]

i have decided that i am not going to do the quest any more. the reason for this is that half of the quest that i am getting are to do things that i cannot possibly do, cause i dont have the facility to do the quest. why have a quest that you cannot do just sitting there for 4 to 5 days. this is crazy. if i want to spend money on the game i will when i have to money to do so, i started playing cause i did not have to spend money to play a game.

The PROBLEM is that you can't get to 5 concurrent quests. NOBODY has reported in the forum that they were able to get 5 going at once. I've asked several times!

It's sounds really nice to say you can have up to 5 concurrent requests, but just because I say you can fly, it doesn't mean if you flap your arms hard enough you'll be able to take off.

Thats my point, YOU CAN'T GET TO 5 CONCURRENT QUESTS. I'm at level 310 with all the facilities, so I don't get stuck on quests. I don't buy the argument that we get 5 quests to allow us to be stuck on a couple. If the Developers want to reward us higher level players, then it should be a viable reward, not just pie in sky we can't obtain.

PLEASE Don't tell me to go slower on completing the quests, I'm not trying all that hard and I finish almost all of them in two days. That's the result of having all the tools at level 310.

Once again, I'm not complaining. As a Beta Tester, who has spent real cash on this game, I'm reporting a PROBLEM. The quests aren't working as stated!

I suspect the developers reluctance to fix this situation is that once they start giving away FC, they are afraid that the higher levels will be able to earn too much, too quickly. Hopefully they will realize that they have already squeezed enough cash from the higher level players and REWARD us.

Let's take this 1 step at a time and see if you can grasp this.Not everyone plays full throttle and tries to complete quests soon as they are available.Some people actually do turn FT off and do things other than play sim farm games.The chances are that many have 5 concurrent quest going,and as forum users represent a tiny fraction of people who play,its not that hard to see why 900 people are not posting about having 5 going at once.The quest are setup in such a way that ALL users can play them as fast or slow as they deem fit.If you can't get 5 going,that doesn't mean 1000 others don't have 5 open.
The notion that if someone says flap your arms and you can fly is not even close to apples and oranges.I can if I choose have 5 open at the same time,get it?The game,and the quest are made for everyone,and made for people with lots of time,or little time.

Definition of the prepositional phrase "up to" As far as or approaching a certain point.Example..you can have up to 13 farms currently.You do not have to have 13 farms,however,it is available to those who CHOOSE to have 13.

Have you put in the suggestions that you would like to be able to run five concurrent quests?

When the devs put up to five, I do not believe it was a promise. I do understand you would like it to be possible even though you complete quests quickly.

If you want this changed or added you can put it in the suggestions threads if you have not already done so.

Slow down....

I, too, am a level 310.... and with my points, it is safe to assume I could be level 750+ if they released that many levels tomorrow..

On one account I currently have 5... FIVE... Quests open.

Two require the same facility (Air Freshener) that I neither have nor want...... and I can afford to buy it if I wish to. But I do not have to wait for them to expire to move on.
Two are just waiting for the final time to run out.
The fifth was just opened this morning.

By the way... I am not sure I ever came across part of Farm Town that was designed to actually "squeeze" cash.... from me or any of the higher players.

On the contrary, I have found that the quirks, and glitches etc that are in the game - perhaps on purpose as they are not removed - have helped us advance in the GAME.

Play the Quests you want to... skip the ones you do not want to.. Works for me.

"I can if I choose have 5 open at the same time,get it?"
So are you saying that you have had 5 concurrent quests going? If so I stand corrected. If you haven't, then PLEASE try to accomplish this feat and let everyone know how successful you were. If you can't do it, it would also be nice to hear your experience. Hey, we are after all: BETA TESTERS.:cool:

I haven't heard anyone else say they have. To me, the silence is deafening and I think that in itself makes my point. Sure, this forum only represents a fraction of the players, but they are a vocal fraction and one could logically suppose (I'm not assuming anything :-) that there would have been a response by now. NOTE: It's been a month since I first asked.

My initial statement still stands: THERE IS NO WAY to get to 5 concurrent quests UNLESS you can't do some of them.:(

PS: I'm not playing "full throttle", I spend less then 15 minutes a day on the quests.:)

So you have 3 ACTIVE QUESTS and 2 INACTIVE QUESTS, that you can't complete because you don't have the facilities. I personally don't consider that 5 concurrent quests.
But if it works for you, I'm fine with that.:)

I'm at 310 with all the facilities,and I believe that there are others like me who don't have the impediment of QUESTS we can't complete.

We don't seem to be able to get to the stated 5 concurrent quests. Part of the problem is the fact that we can easily complete the quests. Usually in 2 days, (one did take 3) even for a 7 day quest!

Once again - I'm not complaining - I LOVE THE QUESTS. I'm just trying to tell it like it is.

I really wish someone would come forth and say they had 5 really long quests going and they managed to start the 5th one before they finished the 1st.

I just haven't been able to do it with the current limit of 1 quest per 20 hr farm town day.

NOTE: I only have one account - I can only afford so much time, effort and cash for this game. I have a very active life, since at my age if I get too slow they may put me in the ground:D

I prefer to wake up on the sunny side of the grass and not under it...;)

I guess I could put this in as a suggestion, but if you really think about it, it's a problem because it's impractical/impossible to achieve what is stated as a possiblity.

Thanks for adding your opinion, IMHO, thats one of the reasons for a forum. "To hear other peoples opinions" - I'm still hoping to hear from someone who was able to accomplish 5 active concurrent quests.

If I'm wrong (it won't be the first time) the developers should hear it and be able to make the correct choice about whether or not it needs fixing.

[Raine Logan]

why is everyone getting uptight about having "five" quests running at one time? surely all that means is you've either failed or failing at the previous four?

five is the limit you 'can' have on any one account. not the limit you 'should' have or should aspire to.

First,no I have not had 5 "active" quest going..4 active and 1 for the perfume factory which I don't want.I can easily get 5 quest going by simply cutting my time down from 30-40 mins a day to 10-20,and do the quest as I have time.
Second,the quest are not centered around people who try to rush through them,they are made for all levels of gametime,ie..someone who does not care if they finish a quest in the least amount of time.They can get "UP TO" 5 going at the same time.Your initial statement is wrong,I will happily post a screenshot of 5 quest that I can do.
I think what you actually want,is the ability to open 5 quest at once,not have 5 going.If thats what you want,post that is the suggestion as someone said,but the quest as they are now are working as promised.

don't make farm town dumb the game down to cater to you, try honing your reading comprehension skills instead.

EXACTLY!!! . It is just perfect the way it is, and I also hope the devs don't change it any way to suit the few who don't get it.

Hi Everyone :)


We have just completed a tidy up of this thread, please keep in mind that this thread is for feedback on quests and while we do allow people to agree or disagree with a post we ask that once feedback has been provided and comments made that we move along and do not turn feedback into a running dispute. Where we see this happening any further discussion on the original feedback may be deleted without notice.

Thanks & Happy Farming/Questing :D

I've been successfully completing quests since they came out. Then a few days ago I opened my new quest for the day, and lo and behold, it again required a factory AND shop that I didn't own, only this time the factory could only be purchase for Farm Cash, since I'd been saving for this particular factory and I wanted it I went ahead and bought it, even tho I was hoping to buy a certain tool first.And I seriously thought it was a mistake by the devs, since it seems rather unfair, not everyone has farm cash available and in this economy most people can't afford to purchase it outright. Today I find it wasn't a fluke, as today my quest requires purchasing the gardening tools factory. I don't have the farm cash and quite frankly the rewards for finishing don't make up for what I've spent. I personally won't be doing quests again. Being forced to spend my hard earned farm cash on things I don't want isn't my idea of fun, I was enjoying the quests.

How exactly are you forced to buy anything?No one from slashkey knocked on your door and took your CC.The quest are optional,they are random,and they are fair!If you can't finish a quest...lo and behold..a new one will pop-up the next day.BTW..the quest are random,and optional.

[kejarvis@sbcglobal.net]

I think the quests stink. they require you to use facilities you do not have. It says you can get help from other farmers but does not say how. For example, if you need something from a factory you do not have, how do you know who else does/ I have gone to other farms and fished for the fish I needed yet it did not show up in the quest. I needed baby food today, who do I request it from? I harvested all the crops yet do not have the factory. I am done with the stupid quests. Go back to just farming and quit trying to copy Zynga games, they really suck!

If you don't like the quests, then you don't have to do them, as far as getting the quests that require factories that you don't have, just have to let them expire and open a new quest the next day. To get help from others you use a lifeline that is the lifesaver at the top right of the quest. There is 3 different lifelines that you can get and when clicked it is random as to which one it gives you. For instructions on the lifelines you can look at New Release - February 13th. As for the last part, Farmtown will never ever be as bad as Zynga games.

Have you actually read the release page about the quests which gives very detailed instructions? Have you taken time to read through this thread where you would have got lots of help in knowing how to use the lifelines which you use to get the products you need that are not the very end of line products?

The only thing that 'sucks' is the fact that so many people go to the trouble of putting up instructions and help on this forum, only to find that people whinge and complain without having read any of it.

You say you 'have gone to other farms and fished for the fish I needed yet it did not show up in the quest.' ... but the rules say that you must fish yourself on your own farm. It's as easy as reading those rules.

The quests are not stupid. They are very fair, very well thought out, and very easy to do when you bother to read and find out how to do it.

[Kyrie]

First of all I have been having fun with the quest's but I do have a bone to pick.

Earlier this week I opened a quest, it is a long one, I still have 2 days to go on it before it expires. It has to do with a Wheelchair, I don't have the final building for the item and they require FC which I don't have enough for and am not really interested in the particular buildings at this time.

Any a few more days go by and I work on other quest's and get them completed successfully only for this morning to go and open the new quest and it is practically the same exact quest I have waiting to expire on the Wheelchair, I think it is only missing 1 item compared to the 1st one.

Now i have 2 practically the same and have to wait for them to expire and don't get another new one til tomorrow.

This is a bummer, it would be nice if we could have an option of passing on the ones that we don't have the building for and don't want to purchase and be able to chose a new quest to work on.

Everytime I go to my Quest's there they are staring at me like "Buy me and i will leave you alone" It makes me feel like I am playing a Zynga game and it is why I quit playing Zynga games.

If you can't or won't put in a "pass" option on a quest and let us have a new quest then please have the game read what building we have and give us quests that fit with our already existing buildings.

Thank you so much for listening/reading. I have been a Farmtowner for a long time and even went thru the great black out yrs back.

Other than this quirk I love Farm Town

[DebLeah]

The quests should just be just an additional fun thing you can do on ft. I would like to be able to do long ones but have had only 3 or 4 steps. Usually done quickly. I'm on level 310. I did finally get a rather long one but don't have the service facility to finish it. so it will sit there for 6 days. I don't think you can get 5 in a row unless they are all long or you can't do them and they sit there. No sense getting up set about something that doesn't make any difference one way or the other. You collect your money when you finish the quest or you don't and you move on to the next one the following day. The dev have nothing to fix.They have done a great job!

[CityGirl2009]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I have had 5 active quests at one time. I think this may have happened because the first two were identical and the time to do them was about 6 or 7 maybe even 8 days each; I don't remember exactly.

What I had to do was to Load Red Wine aged 4 yrs. into a Service Facility. This involved harvesting the purple grapes (a 4 hour crop) and producing red wine barrel which went pretty quickly too. What took the most time was producing the red wine bottles aged 4 yrs in the Wine Cellar. Gosh I think that took 32 hours. Then I had to load those red wine bottle into the Banquet Hall to complete the quest.

So mind you on Day1 and then on Day 2 I was given quests that could take up to 7 days or so. On day 3 I had to produce vegetables in the hibachi. That involved harvesting broccoli (a 4 day crop). On day 4 I had to Load chocolate caramel into a service facility. And on Day 5 I had to Load a Tea Kettle into a service facility.

I was pretty surprised that I got so many "load" quests as opposed to "produce" quests. Fortunately I do have the Service (provide) facilities needed for the above quests. I think it's ironic that I got 2 identical quests back to back as well. I am a Level 310 and I have all CASH facilities that produce but I do not have all the CASH facilities that provide (requiring loading products into).

Last week I had to let a quest expire on it's own. It involved loading something into the gas station (a cash service facility that I do not own nor do I plan on buying).

Since the quests have come out, I have completed almost all of them. Only a small percentage I had to let expire due to not having the CASH loading facility. No biggie.

However, I am really REALLY disappointed in the reward I got for not only producing red wine bottle aged 4 years in the wine cellar (a cash facility) but also loading them into the banquet hall (a cash service facility).

I got a whopping 496,000 coins as a reward!!! Are you kidding me? I used 2 count them TWO CASH FACILITIES and all I was rewarded was 496,000??!!

That hurt because it wasn't just one quest, I got that same one back to back.

Anyway, what can you do right? It is what it is. And it's supposed to be for fun. When it's not fun anymore, I step away for a day or 2. Come back refreshed and play again.

Happy Farming,

CG

P.S. I wanted to mention this as well.....I wonder how long it's going to take the mayor to give us a reward of FARM CASH? I will keep reading this forum, but has anyone received any farm cash as a reward yet?? Just wondering....

[wsbohannon]

I like the quests and only play the ones I want. I look at them at BONUS money when i can complete one. If i open a quest that requires a facility i don't have, or don't want, then i don't fret over it. it's just a game.

[/SIhuZE]

Are you sure it wasnt 4 million and 8 hundred? I have never got less than 2 mil 4 hundred for one and the highest 15 million 6 hundred with several different amounts inbetween. No I have not received any FC yet. Hope this helps.

[ImajeanB]

Now I have done several quests; and where they required a facility I didn't have they have all been coins (which I am OK with) but the one I just received is "Chicken Chow Mein" which requires the "Chinese Restaurant" which is FC => I am not alright with that => I THINK that the rules say you don't require spending money to play; and I don't know of any way to get FC except pay for it...

At a minimum there should be a way to "cancel" a quest that you don't have the facilities for rather than wait for the quest to "time out"

and the lifeline does not help (purchase ingredients at market) if it had been work in someone's facility I could have had a chance to complete it...

To be fair the rules doesn't say you can play the game without every paying for things. You can play it without paying. Just do the free things!!!!!

[lisa astrup]

I have done ceverel quest too, and MOST of them required a facility that cost FC, I have bougt two of them, and for the rest I had to wait to tje time ran out :(

a way to "cancel" a quest would be very nice to have.

i agree with you 100% ... i really don't see what the big deal is...

[alyceclover]

I like the Quests, because they are optional, and fun with no demanding flashing arrows.

I have a problem with not being able to open the new Quest or receive award. It works most of the time, but other times, not clickable (accept Quest or Receive Reward link).

Also, the wording says the quests are created especially for me ~ which they are not if I do not have the dollar facilities to produce the whatever. I would like a Cancel Quest button when that happens, so that I can accept a new doable (for me) one.

I am having fun with them.

[jeemersmom]

:mad:I got a whopping 496,000 coins as a reward!!! Are you kidding me? I used 2 count them TWO CASH FACILITIES and all I was rewarded was 496,000??!!:mad:

I have NEVER had a quest that paid less than 4,000,000 coins. Of course, it helps that I have a "Quest" farm with almost all of the crops that are 1 day or more, the main flowers, and trees. If I need a crop, I rarely have to wait for it to grow. The longest wait is for the factory production.

A lot of my neighbors have quest farms. Stop by my farm 13 and see how I did mine.

Whether the facilities you use are for coin or farm cash makes no difference in how much you will get. Only your level, how fast you do them and how many steps are in the quest.

[Jokes]

I need more information . I have played farm towen for over 2 years , I am at TOP (310) I want to do more quests at once . I always have to wit 20 hours . I do sometimes have 2 going at once , BUT I have NO IDEA what LEVEL I am .
also a friend needed horse hair and I don't know how to help her , she got a lifeline but you can not work the horse shed or sell hair . so how could we work it out ?

[Jokes]

help us understand how to use lifelines , I love the quests , it is optional and I hate having to wait for teh next one every 20 hours .

Hi there...there are no levels for the quests, everyone one is the same..can only open 1 every 20hrs, that is how they have been set up.
The lifelines are random, it will depend which lifeline your friend received as to whether she can use it.

The employee lifeline allows you to procure items by working ( facilities or harvesting etc)..if she has this one she wont be able to use it to get horse hair

The gift lifeline allows you to procure things through having someone gift them to you...for the horse hair she would need to go to a facility that has an item that needs horse hair and send an ingredients request that you could then work for her (eg: go to the janitorial supplies factory and click on the + sign for the broom and dustpan)

The trade lifeline allows you to buy things off someone...note that an only buy things that can be harvested/chopped, fish and stuff collected from the animals ( if she has this lifeline she can buy the horse hair off someone that has some to spare)

hope this helps

[dusty1959]

Thank you Farm Town for fixing the problem with my Redeem Prize button. You certainly do things a lot faster than that other FB game I could mention. You guys are great!!!

[HelenJS22]

If you harvested your own grown wheat then 10 plots should have counted, but if you harvested someone else's wheat from a lifeline, then you need to do 100 plots to get it to count.

The quests are obviously designed to be done in the order things would be done in the real world. We have to harvest the sugar cane before we can make the sugar, and the pumpkins before we can make the pie.

I'm sure I was allowed to make the sugar while pumpkins were not harvested .... I just had to wait for the pumpkins to make the pie.

It would quite spoil the whole idea of the quests if the steps were allowed to be done out of the designed order.

[HelenJS22]

I know from experience also that order DOES NOT matter, the only order that matters is like I said before you just can't make flour before the wheat. You need to be less snippy to people trying to help you in the forum, no one should have to be talked down to.

From what you've said about the wheat, I'd suspect you didn't harvest enough wheat. If you read in the 'harvest wheat' box it would have told you how many plots you need to harvest, and once you do that, if you haven't done enough, there won't be a green tick, but it will say something like 4 of 10 harvested.

Some crops do require more plots harvested than other crops. It really does come down to reading the detail and following the coloured panels as they show up.

We really are led very well through the quest production line.

You misread the post, I was telling Dutchfarmer that the only order that matters is that you can't make flour before you harvest wheat, I didn't say anything about I didn't harvest enough wheat. I always harvest enough crops and get the green ticks in the appropriate boxes.

I agree we are led well through the quest production you need to tell Dutchfarmer that he is the one having the problem with the quest not me.

[Tony D]

Hi everyone, just a reminder that once someone has posted feedback and people have commented it would be appreciated if we all moved on to allow this thread to provide feedback from other users. I am sure no one wants this thread to turn into a long winded debate on one particular item of feedback :)

Thanks

Also please remember if you are having a problem with a Quest please post in the Help and Support section .. Here is the handy dandy link to it http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468066

Sorry Kitt - didn't mean to get you in a knot about it. My message about not harvesting enough wheat was indeed intended for dutchfarmer.

[woodyinwi5]

I like the quests, it gives us something to accomplish. However, I'm pretty frustrated with the quests that require facilities you can only purchase with farm cash. I have to let the car air freshener quest expire and am waiting for that to happen before I can use a life line for my next quest. Now I have a quest that requires making popsicle sticks and I don't have that facility either.

Maybe you can add a life line that lets us work at a neighbor's facility to produce the required item for a facility we don't own. Or maybe we can purchase these items from someone in the market. Either way, I now have 2 quests I can not finish because they require facilities I can not buy. :mad::(

[woodyinwi5]

unfortunately, the car air freshener quest was the first one I started that I could not finish because I did not know a life line would not enable me to complete the task. Now I'm very familiar with the life lines. I need to use a life line on my next quest but have to wait until my air freshener quest expires in another 3 days.
Adding a discard button or another life line that enables players to procure items from facilities they don't own would help. There are a lot of facilities that require farm cash and I have purchased many of them, but not all. I'm trying to save my farm cash for something else right now.
I understand the concept and I'm sure this is a quest in which FC is the reward. However, I won't spend 30 to get 1 or 2, maybe......

[dbevaart]

I'm not happy with having no idea what facilities the quest requires before accepting it. There are more and more questYess that are needing facilities that take Farm Cash, which I have none of and no way to get enough to purchase even one of the facilities, let alone all that have been asked for, so the quest goes unfinished and I've wasted my time starting it.The Lifeline is great for getting goods, but can't help with buildings that a person doesn't have.

[skywalker69r]

Click on the final step in the quest (at the top left) and it will tell you which facility is needed and whether you already own it. You don't need to start the quest if you don't have the necessary facilities for each step. :)

It's supposed to be a "mystery quest" which means that we need to choose to open it without knowing what we are going to be doing.

I have kept a written record of the quests since the day they began. I've done more than 100 now (on two different sets of farms) and the ratio of quests requiring farm CASH to the ones requiring only COIN facilities is 50/50 all the way.

[CynthiaSue]

I just came back to the game and because of the quests, am playing. I would ditto those who would like to be able to delete quests you are not going to do. I am not saying that we should be able to get a different one right away. I waited the 20 hours after the one I won't do to get another quest. I would just like it to no longer be there. There is not a chance in the world that I will do it unless it pays out enough farmcash as a reward to pay for the facilities I need to finish the quest, which will never happen. Therefore, I would like to delete it or at least have the one I am working on show at the top of the list when I click to go to quests. I think I have to have this annoying quest for another 5 or 6 days.

I quite like not knowing what the quest will be before I open it - as you say wouldnt be a mystery quest otherwise :D

Yes Ive kept a two column tick list (Coin/Cash Facs) and it is def 50/50.

[axegrrl]

Just got my first quest that requires two cash facilities that I don't have and don't want. Is there any way to say "Nope, not doing this one. Next, please?" to get it to expire more quickly?

You will just have to let it sit there and expire when the timer runs out.

I have kept a record of all requests done on my farm since they first started, today's was the 64th...all were completed successfully....

Click on the final step in the quest (at the top left) and it will tell you which facility is needed and whether you already own it. You don't need to start the quest if you don't have the necessary facilities for each step. :)


Unfortunately this does not work for the quests that need you to load into a service facility. Some items load into more than one service facility and the quest does not make it clear which one until you have completed all the other steps. Only a pain if you have used a lifeline so i now don't worry about the service facility quests where it is not clear which one you require :)

If you click on the last step, it will show you what you need to make the item. However, above that, it says "see what facilities to stock with ....." Are you saying that if it lists more than one facility, you won't be allowed to load it in any of those listed? So far mine have only shown one facility to load it into.

[CynthiaSue]

I have a quest from a couple of days ago that I can't do due to it using a farmcash facility I don't own for the last step. I didn't bother clicking the lifeline because I knew I couldn't do it. I did a quest yesterday. Now today there is another quest using farmcash facility for the next to last step. The last one is loading a coin facility. I clicked on the lifeline hoping that it would be the work facility one, but it is the trading one which is worthless. Now I have another quest I can not do and this time my lifeline is going to be tied up for 6 days.

I only came back to the game to do quests. This having no quests to work on, does not encourage me to play the game and now having the lifeline tied up for 6 days, does not encourage me to play either. You really should let us delete quests we are not going to do. I would never use the farmcash I have for another facility when I already have more facilities than I care to load. If I was goign to spend farmcash it would be for something that makes farming either such as tools.

[Taz D]

If you click on the last step, it will show you what you need to make the item. However, above that, it says "see what facilities to stock with ....." Are you saying that if it lists more than one facility, you won't be allowed to load it in any of those listed? So far mine have only shown one facility to load it into.
If you get one for Farmade to be loaded into a service, there are I think 3 different ones that it can be loaded into. However the quest specifically wants it loaded into only 1 of them.
Another example would be making flour. It has to be made in the red windmill and not the stone windmill.

I,m sick of getting the same 3 or 4 quests over and over...starts to get OLD:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[HelenJS22]

I,m sick of getting the same 3 or 4 quests over and over...starts to get OLD:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm very surprised that you keep getting the same three or four over and again. I've done more than 60 on one set of farms and only doubled up twice. Even across my two sets of farms, I still have only had doubles four times.

I'm not sure how they set up the random draw, but it does seem strange if you're getting lots of double ups and others are not.

[kahra01]

You may start a new quest every day without having to wait for a discarded quest to disappear from the screen.

If you have used a lifeline on the one you can't finish you then have to wait for another lifeline ..... so it's a good idea to thoroughly check out a quest and see if you can finish it before using the lifeline.

We don't need a discard button, we just simply ignore the particular quest if we don't want to do it.

LOL and there it is right there Helen... I started a quest on my hubbys farm. He has all the facs and services right up until the donut shop release and the office one. He doesnt play anymore so thats when I stopped getting them, which was only the last release anyway. I started it not even thinking and got almost finished when i realised he doesnt have it! Didnt bother me but now I can see what people are saying. Its ok to let it expire but this one was a 7 day one. For all those with facs etc, we can get it finished, even if using a life line and then can pretty much get the next life line the next day. On behalf of those that dont have the necessary facs I think they r futher disadvantaged by not being able to use a lifeline for days on end either. I think an easy solution would be to not give a dismiss button as such, but at least give them the same thing we get by at least releasing a life line to them when the next quest is released. I believe that each quest should have its own lifeline regardless of how many quests you have going.. at least that way, the people who dont have all the facs and cant complete the quest, can go on and try their luck with the next one. I think it would save alot of complaints. I dont think they are so annoyed at not being able to finish a quest, but more so at the disadvantage again at having no lifelines for days. Just my thoughts anyway. None of this applies to me persay as I have all the facs and service facs.. im just playing devils advocate for those that dont :)

[woodyinwi5]

I really like the idea of these quests but I'm really disappointed. I had to let a quest expire because I didn't have the two facilities that cost FC to complete the quest. I had tried using a lifeline on this quest but couldn't because I was given a trade and I can't trade for car air fresheners. So of course, my next quest required the use of a lifeline because I don't have a semi to order ham. I waited for my previous quest to expire, got my lifeline for my next quest and it was a trade!! I can't trade for ham in the market place!!!! Now I have to wait for this quest to expire.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Quests that require these things to be purchased with FC are extremely frustrating, unfair and maddening. With gas over $4/gallon I am NOT putting money into a game I play for enjoyment. These quests could be very enjoyable, COULD be.

Well, at risk of being contentious, the developers of this game make it for our enjoyment, but they also need to be paid to make it. Without them and the money they are paid we would have no game to enjoy.

Perhaps those of us prepared to put a little of our cash in to paying for that enjoyment deserve the higher rewards of being able to complete a quest. The semi trailer costs 22 farm cash which translates to just a couple of dollars in terms of real cash to pay for farm cash. The enjoyment of playing the game with fc facilities is certainly worth the little bit of money it costs to buy some farm cash.

I know there are those who say they can't afford any farm cash at all, but there are games in the real world that people cannot afford to play, so they simply don't play ....

[Rob T]

If you get one for Farmade to be loaded into a service, there are I think 3 different ones that it can be loaded into. However the quest specifically wants it loaded into only 1 of them.
Another example would be making flour. It has to be made in the red windmill and not the stone windmill.

I don't have the red windmill, the stone one works just fine in quests.

[Taz D]

I don't have the red windmill, the stone one works just fine in quests.
I have both and tried to start in the stone one and it not take, go back and start in the red one and quest shows it is started.

[Rob T]

I have both and tried to start in the stone one and it not take, go back and start in the red one and quest shows it is started.

hmmm odd, never bothered with the red one, i'd be throwing away wheat lol. maybe put your red one in storage, and see if the stone one takes it?

[Taz D]

hmmm odd, never bothered with the red one, i'd be throwing away wheat lol. maybe put your red one in storage, and see if the stone one takes it?
I don't use it either for normal operation, but leave it on my farm for the diversification points.

[JAS0643]

Sometimes a lifeline can help you finish a quest you can't do because you don't have one of the facilities for that part of the quest so you use theclife line but the lifeline you get is the working one. That doesn't help you if you need meat from the truck because you can't work the truck. Now you can't use a lifeline for days on any other quests. I don't think we need a discard for the quests you take a chance when you click lifeline and if it doesn't work out oh well you have the option of buying the facility you need for the quests.

Now on the products going into x facility only for a quest I haven't had an issue using my stone windmill but I don't have a red one so that might be why. I have had a quest that wanted beer loaded into the dance club and although I could load that same beer in the pup it wouldn't take it and I couldn't finish that quest because I don't have the dance club.

[HelenJS22]

I have both and tried to start in the stone one and it not take, go back and start in the red one and quest shows it is started.

My quest today required making flour. The picture in the quest showed the red windmill, but I thought I'd try the stone one to see if it would be accepted, and had no problem at all.

[dorissau]

Well this really stinks... my quest for making a "lure" yesterday had to be left open because I didn't have any rabbit fur..can't get it as a gift or get it from somebody else's facility.. sooooo this morning I opened my new quest and guess what...THE IDENTICAL QUEST FROM YESTERDAY CAME UP.
It doesn't seem even logical that this is "random".
I am so pi---ed!!

[KnightRider]

If you have the Janitorial Supply factory which is a coin facility you can receive the white rabbit fleece as a gift from that factory, just go into the Janitorial Supply factory and click on the "+" on the duster and it will let you send a request for a gift to make the duster which would give you the white rabbit fleece for your quest for the lure. If you have the Fishing Accessories factory you can do it on the lure also, just click on the "+" in the lure box and you can get the items needed to make a lure sent to you as a gift, either of these facilities will get you the white rabbit fleece needed for the quest.

[bananaboy720]

i just finished a quest and i won an OBJECT from it...there was no pic of whatever it was that i won and i was wondering if there was a way i could find out what it was...all it said where the picture should have been was "object object"

[LoreneC]

oh and check your gift box, maybe something is in there!:)

[KnightRider]

I got one of those quests that said I won an object and just looked in my gifts and there is nothing there.

Well I was hoping...

[woodyinwi5]

It's all a matter of priority. Don't try to judge others because they choose to spend their hard earned dollars on necessities. And thank you for helping pay the programmers! We all appreciate it. And we appreciate all the sponsors that help pay for our games.
Yes, I have invested a small amount in FC, but I also understand my own personal limits. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy sitting down and playing a game that doesn't cost $50!

It's so easy to sit and judge, it so hard to try to look at things from someone else's perspective.

[kourty]

I just finished a quest and clicked on redeem prize and it said object object !! What in the world does that mean. The other day I finished my quest and clicked on redeem prize and it said thate my prize could not be be redeemed at this time to come back later. I went back and there was nothing there. I worked hard to finish those things and would like to get the prize I earned, This one was a tea kettle the other one was a movie trophy...please let me know what to do about this !!!

[susanha30]

the last two quests i've done it has come up with "Object", so where do we go to answer this question?

[JW2009]

Ok, ya you're right, i didn't take that into consideration, well then, we should be able to get a lifeline with each quest, i think and have a cancel quest feature, but you would need to wait 19 hrs for next one, Thank You & Happy Farming :) Sometimes a lifeline can help you finish a quest you can't do because you don't have one of the facilities for that part of the quest so you use theclife line but the lifeline you get is the working one.

The Rabbit hutch costs farm COIN to buy and the bunnies are COIN too, so why don't you just buy yourself a rabbit hutch, fill it with some bunnies and hey presto ...... rabbit fur generated on your own farm ;)

[KnightRider]

Good point, I didn't even think about looking to see if the rabbit hutch and bunnies cost coin or FC when I mentioned getting the fur as a gift from the Janitorial or Fishing factories since that person mentioned couldn't get the fur as a gift.

[HelenJS22]

LOL - Neither did I until the quests came along and I was forced to figure out how to get rabbit fur :o

There is so much in the store now that it is very easy to forget what is there.

[Ilsewdm]

I love quests! I was really getting tired of doing the same stuff over and over. Hadn't invested any money in the game in a while, just got all the coin stuff on new releases for the last few months. Then quests came along, and I ended up getting me 500 FC to catch up and am now busy figuring out the best shortcuts to finish the quests as quickly as possible. Great stuff. Now I would like to have a button/tool that will speed up production of those 6h items.:D

[Ilsewdm]

Another thing: I don't like the 2 step quests such as "harvest this" then "produce that". No challenge in that. I love the ones that have 10 steps! How about letting us pick the level of difficulty?!

[Taz D]

Clear your cache, close your browser and reopen. That will clear out old data. It will not show you what you got for the quest but it should fix the prize screen for the next one.

Now thats a good idea - I agree I had one today harvest wheat - make flour - done.

[bigboy1ga]

I have completed the last 3 Quest and when I request my prize. It only says object object

[Beaver046]

I am now having trouble accepting my bonus and start a new quest for some reason. Won't let me click on it but all the requirements are finished.

[Taz D]

Clear your cache, close your browser and reopen it to your farm. When you go to try to click on the Redeem Prize move your mouse slowly near the top of the button until it changes to the hand then click. It is a bit touchy and the hot spot really needs to be increased in size.

[Kdsmom]

It is very frustrating to get to the last stage of the quest only to be told you need to produce more of something. If that is the case then why are the completed stages marked with a big green check mark ?? Recently I had to plant 3 day crops, they grew, I harvested, did a few more requests and when I got to the last stage I was told I needed more. Not right, not right at all. Will this be fixed? :confused:

[CynthiaSue]

I came back to the game because of the quests, but I find it very annoying that so far for me, anytime the quest takes a farmcash facility that I don't have for a step which is not the last step, that I always get trading in the market as the lifeline. Normally there is nothing in the quest I could get from a trade in the market anyway, so it it a totally worthless lifeline even if I had the farmcash facility. Is it programed this way to only give trading in the marketplace on quests which need farmcash facilities that one does not own? Or is this simply a coincidence? Now my lifeline is again tied up till a quest ends which I will not be able to do. Another very annoying aspect of the quests. I will probably save my lifelines to only use in quests which take farmcash facilities I don't own, just to see if I ever get work others facilities ever again. Afterall, I really have never NEEDED any lifeline I have used. It has simply saved me some time in doing it myself.

[eleflump]

It is possible to get employee lifeline top use in quests where you need a fc facility you don't own. I have one at the moment and have had then in the past as well so its definitely preset to you getting trader on these quests.it can be frustrating but would be no challenge if the devs made it too ready

As long as it is a possibility, I don't mind that I don't always get a lifeline that helps. However, if it isn't a possibility, than I would consider it rigged. Since I have only gotten the trading lifeline for any quest involving a farmcash facility I didn't own, I just began to wonder if it was rigged.

[maggiemae1046]

totally hacked that i can not finish a quest because it requires a farm cash building. i do not have the money to buy the building. please try to find another way to finish the quest if you can not afford the building.

[merrymaid]

Has anyone who has hired people from the quest section so both parties can get farm cash actually received all their cash? I claimed a few but now it shows on the quest page i am supposed to have 25 farm cash but only 22 are showing on my page .

[CynthiaSue]

Are you sure you mean the quest section? I know at one time the game allowed me to invite people to work my facilities and harvest on my farm and I would get 2 or 3 farmcash if they came and did and they would get some too. As a rule of thumb it was non players that I could invite. I can't really remember how much as it was a long time ago. However, I have not seen anything in any quest where I could get farmcash in any way. It says that eventually we might be able to get one farmcash for certain quests, but I haven't seen it give out any yet.

[kwenger1]

Does anyone else find it extremely annoying that you continually get quests, I have had the bowling pin one 3 times, for which you MUST purchase a facility that costs Farm $$?? I asked for a lifeline the first time I got this quest and was able to get the required ingredient by working for it, the 2nd time my lifeline was tied up already and the third time the lifeline was a "gift" and the ingredient I needed is not giftable! I have one sitting in my list now that requires I load a sandwich to the Modern School, and all is complete except for that step and I have no $$ to purchase that facility and don't really CARE to purchase it! There is no lifeline that allows you to load ingredients into another players facilities, at least as far as I know.
I enjoy fulfilling the quests and think they add a new dimension to the game and am only slightly upset when I finish one and the next one requires that I grow the same three crops again, all of which take at least 2 days. If the quests are "selected just for me" the computer should know what facilities I have and which quests I have already done and move on. Thanks for letting me "vent"! :(

The lifelines cannot be used for the last step of a quest so if you do not have that facility then you cannot complete the quest. I have two right now that are for the Flower Shop. I don't own it and even though I could buy it I do not want to get into the whole flower thing. So they will sit until they expire.
The quests are not "selected just for you" but are randomly selected without knowing what facilities you own. The lifelines are also random and not selected for the particular quest you have.
And just an FYI the "Gift" lifeline can also be used for an ingredients request. So if something you need is an ingredient of a product then you can request ingredients for that product. For example, ketchup is made in the preserves factory. If you don't have that then you can request ingredients for the french fries with ketchup and get it along with potatoes.

[ConCon555]

First of all I would like to say how much I love FarmTown! I appreciate all the developers who work so hard in making this game the one I have chosen to play exclusively! But I choose not to do the quest or the other mini games because I would rather see the developers spending their time on bigger & better tools. Such as harvest, plow & seeding. Turning off rivers & harvest (maybe a hide tool?) A way to transfer Facilities to other farms without losing everything in it. One click harvest all animals. A way to see how many animals you had in a facility in the Facility Manager anytime not just when harvesting. Having the Facilities hold more animals (I can't afford $5 per super animal) Side walks & ground cover going under items rather than on top. My Avatar working as fast on my farm as it does when I am helping others.
These are just a few things I have suggested & seen others suggest these also. Thank you for your consideration in this matter & Thank you for many more hours yet to come spent on playing Farm Town!

[Emily D S]

I am having problems with my Quests I had the produce in my facilities and went to finish my quest and they show i have completed them. but I cant get the last one to do anything and all my produce ended up missing andn now it wont do anything having poroblem with object object also

[Emily D S]

I wanted to tell still have the object object but my quests are working okay now. thank you

[CynthiaSue]

I know some people say they get other lifelines for quests that take a farmcash facility, but I have once again gotten trading in the market place. I only use the lifeline on quests that take a farmcash facility for a step other than the last one, and so far, I have actually gotten 3 trading in the marketplace lifelines in a row. I think the odds are not too good for me at least.

[goofyshoes]

Totally agree, I have suggested that we have a delete button in the case that we don't have the facility. I had the lantern questing sitting for 8 days. I don't have the facility that produced candles.

My feedback on Quests is..... My quest was to produce the foil. It did not indicate that I needed the Circus until the end. I "assumed" I could load it in to the Sports Facility. I ended up buying the Circus...just to load the Foil. I did earn my FC back but I won't do that again....sighs

[Maryfour12]

EXCEPT! I had already done several quests when I came upon an impossible situation for me. Buy a spice factory. This one is $, not coins. Because I messed up trying to find out what the life ring was for, I had used up my ONE chance to get help with a quest (by trying to find out what that ring was for). Why do we only get ONE chance??

[getreal]

for the most part I think the lifelines are useless. I have one quest now that I need to make a dirty laundry trolley. my lifeline is to procure goods for this quest and by gifts. I have tried working at neighbor's facilities, asking for materials, for everything from turpentine, to materials for rubber sheets, and the materials for making a dirty laundry trolley. none of them has helped me out at all. if it only pertains to crops it should say that. I'm tired of wasting my time on wild goose chases. I enjoy the challenge but hate all the run-a-round.

If you have the rubber factory (a coin facility) , open the facility and click on the green + and you can post a request for the ingredients (Turpentine and latex)

[getreal]

I did that, and for the turpentine, and the the trolley itself, received the gifts, put them in storage and they never registered in the quest at all.

[Taz D]

I did that, and for the turpentine, and the the trolley itself, received the gifts, put them in storage and they never registered in the quest at all.
You need to have the raw materials first. If you don't have the oil refinery then you are not going to be able to get the raw materials as it takes a lot of steps to get turpentine.
For the turpentine you will need crude oil, then petrochemical barrel, then the turpentine. That would mean several ingredients requests and if you don't have those facilities you can't do those.

[topmop]

Personally, I have given up on Quests. I did one every day since they started and never got any farm cash. :(

[Farmer Ruthie67]

Why do they give us quests we can't complete? I spent 22 farm cash to get a semi and now I am down to a few bucks.

You will get another chance to use the lifeline after the quest you used it on ends. Since we can't delete quests we are not going to do, it can hold up your lifeline for however long that quest lasts. If the last step of the quest takes a farmcash facility you do not own and you are not going to buy, than don't bother using a lifeline on it. That way you will have the lifeline to use on the next quest that comes up.

[eleflump]

the lifelines can be used in the last stage of a quest. I had employer lifeline to make put pourri I did not have the facility to do this but was able to start production and makes it in a neighbours facility. So either I just lucked out or you can indeed use the lifeline in last step . Happy farming

[pbrunton]

I keep waiting for the Farm Cash that is supposed to be "coming" when completing a quest. I wish these notes would not be displayed. I know it is supposed to be an incentive for completing a quest, but I find it frustrating to see it every time I finish a quest. We need more ways to EARN farm cash, please. I can't afford to spend real money on a virtual game.

[rodneycs]

I am giving up on quests, twice I have had quests which I cannot complete as I do not have the required facilities. We are not all made of money and U cannolt understand why the programme cannot give quests depending on what you have.

The initial quest I had this problem on has long since past but I STILL cannot access a lifeline. Is there a way to end a quest when an action shows up we cannot complete?

Only thing you can do is to let it expire.

help!! i have a quest that needs me to put.... oops lol lol ok i just learned something.. don't attempt to play FT until your fully awake lol lol i'm such a goof lol..i fixed my problem on my quests by waking up and finding out i can't read half asleep lol

[wdowns]

My first quest is to produce Meat Lasagne, produce Lasagne, Produce tomato sauce, harvest tomatoes, harvest wheat, and produce flour. I have done all that, and it shows that I havent. If I have to do this again, I am not going to do any more quests.

[SunnyD]

did you double check to be sure that you have harvested what you needed on your own farm.. unless your using a life line that is one thing.. also you need to be sure you have harvested enough of what you need.. like it would say 0/10 that means you need to harvest 10 of something.... hope this helps in some way...

[MissyJ1]

I clicked on the "gift box" lifeline which was supposed to allow me to get the needed goods by using gifts from friends. So far, my friends have supplied me with these goods over and over again and the quest still shows that the wheat is not harvested. WTF????

I already had plenty of flour. This is not the first time something like this has happened on a quest. Maybe it's just an unfixed glitch!

Also, the wheat is what needed to be harvested first and it shows that it has not been harvested. As for the flour, I just checked and there is more than enough.

Any flour already in stock doesn't count for a quest. You have to begin from scratch from harvesting wheat. You can have the wheat grown and ready, but have to harvest it after you have accepted the quest, then make the flour.

Items for a quest must be done in the correct order. You said you got the gift lifeline. With that lifeline the you can only get wheat if you harvest you own on your farm or ask for an ingredients request of a production item that needs wheat, such as flour, strawberry shredded wheat or protien bites. You need to get the wheat completed before you can move on to the next step.
What are you trying to make for this quest?

I have a life line which allows my neighbors to send me ingredients needed. Also, I just harvested wheat this morning so I had plenty on hand. I also just put some flour in my storage. I am convinced that there is a glitch in the system somewhere causing my quest "needs" to not be recognized as being in my storage. Guess I'll just have to forego this quest. Even if I planted more wheat right now, the quest would expire before it was ever done. Oh well! Thanks for all the help everyone!! :)

I am making Chinese Noodles. As for the wheat, I did harvest it in my fields and plowed it this morning after the quest had already been accepted. The quest was originally a 3 day quest and when I accepted it, I planted the wheat. The only conclusion I can reach is that there is a glitch within the game. No biggy. I'll just let this quest expire and go on! It's a little annoying to keep planting and harvesting for a quest and it doesn't register! :(

[MissyJ1]

I didn't address the "correct order issue" and I have been doing the steps in the order stated. No choice there because you really can't do it any other way. You have to do step A before step B can be started.

Wish I could help - I've made chinese noodles with no problem, but once you finished a quest there is no way we can back track and have a look at it again for you. I haven't found any glitches, but I have had to read and re read, and go again sometimes to make sure I got it all in the correct order.

I guess you've cleared your cache etc lately?

Yes, you're right, but I thought it was worth a mention, because people have not realised that the order is important and wondered why it didn't work.

I clear my cache almost daily. I have not finished the quest yet. I have only been able to "harvest" the eggs. Can't do anything else until I do the wheat and I can't do the wheat!

You said you had a 'gift' lifeline. Have you requested via your windmill the ingredients for flour, which would have a neighbour send you some wheat? That should work.

I have attached a screen shot - I don't know why! Anyhow, this is as far as I have gotten in this particular quest.

[MissyJ1]

I will give that a try. I had not thought of that one!

[MissyJ1]

Well, now the wheat is showing up as being harvested and the quest has moved on to the next step. I can't explain it because I didn't do anything. Oh well! Thanks for all your help everyone!!

[Scarlett128]

(snip)

When a facebook friend 'sends' (aka 'gifts') you the ingredients, you take it out of your gift box, store it in your facility manager, and then you can go to your petrochemical plant, open it again and click 'start batch' on Nylon Reel. (emphasis added)

It's not stupid, and it does work. The quest are intended as a challenge.

Did you really intend to say "store it in your facility manager" rather than "place in your storage"? If not, how do you store a gift in the facility manager? :)

Also, on an unrelated Lifeline topic, do you know whether using a Lifeline in any way diminishes your ultimate prize?

I love Farm Town, and I love the Quests, but I learn something new about them almost daily! And I consider that a good thing! Thank you for what you do, and hats off to the Developers for a game that is far more sophisticated than most people realize! :)

Using a lifeline does not affect your your prize in any way ... these are the things that affect your prize..

a) How fast the Quest was completed
b) The complexity of the Quest (amount of Quest Steps)
c) User Level

[SIZE=3]If it is the sports accessories factory you don't have then buy it it cost coins not fc so what is the problem with your quest. If it is a factory for one of the other parts of the quest and it cost fc again buy it or don't do that quest.


The problem is that no one knows what the quest will be until they have accepted it, and then they are stuck waiting 5 days for it to expire if they do not have the required facility to finish it. Yes, I've had it happen twice now, and though I would have bought some FGash and bought the facility, that option was hosed so I'm stuck waiting for it to end on it's own.

That's not a 'problem' - it's part of the game. They are MYSTERY quests. We are not supposed to know what we are accepting before we click on 'accept quest'.

Having to let one expire doesn't stop you from going on to another one the next day. Each new quest opens automatically 20 hours after you open the previous one. So you can have others going while waiting for one to expire.

[rocker grrrrrl]

OK here's my 2 cents worth regarding the quests. First of all, I love them. But if I don't have the facility needed to complete the quest, I either buy it, or skip the quest.

So..... My current, ongoing quest is to load 20X Eau de Toilette into a service facility. It doesn't say *which* service facility, it just says to load it into a service facility. I went to the forum Game Guide to see which service facility it was, and it told me the Beauty Salon. OK, makes sense.....

I didn't have the Beauty Salon, but I did have enough Farm Cash, so I bought it. No huge deal.... I placed it on my farm, and waited for all the other steps to complete, so that I can load the Eau de Toilette.

So imagine my dismay, when the time comes to load the Eau de Toilette, it is telling me to load it into the mini mall. Sigh......... If I had known at the beginning, exactly *which* service facility I needed, I may have chosen to just ignore this quest, and wait until tomorrow's quest.

Just for fun, I loaded it into the Beauty Salon, but.... no go.

So now I have to decide... do I get the Mini Mall, or just let the quest die out. GRRRR...

Perhaps, when we are mousing over the steps in a quest, it could tell us exactly which facilities we need to complete said quest. I am kinda bummed, as I actually took the time to read the Game Guide, and it said Beauty Salon for the Eau de Toilette.

I doubt I will buy the Mini Mall just for one quest, as I don't have the other facilities to support it. :(

I feel slightly hosed.

I'm pretty sure that you can work right up the very last load stage of the quest, then mouse over it and it will then show you which particular facility/service it requires you to use. You still, at that stage, can go and buy it.

[Suntanned]

To Quest or not to Quest, that is the question. I have most of the facilities and it's hard to keep up, because new ones are introduced continually. I have completed maybe 30 plus Quests, and was impelled to purchase new facilities to finish maybe 3 or 4 times. A couple were available for coins! Don't know how I missed them, but I did, and noticed that some facilities that formerly require cash are available for coins.

I like the Quests; they afford me the opportunity to make coins easier than all the farming - just try keeping 14 farms going. I play daily just to store goods and harvest common facilities.

All of the facilities that require farm cash to buy them are still exactly as they always were. The devs would not change any of them to coin because it would not be fair to all the farmers who have paid farm cash for them already.

Yeah, I was able to mouse over it only after I completed all the other steps. I was hoping to be able to mouse over it in the beginning, and have it tell what facilities are needed. Sigh..........

[WillowTreeFarm]

ROCKER GRRRRRL & HELENJS22: I accepted a quest yesterday and before I did any thing on it, I CLICKED inside the box of the last step and it showed me what facility I needed to produce the product and then at the top of the screen in blue it says show me what facility to load this product into and I clicked on that. It happens that I need the music factory and music conservatory, both of which I don't own & don't want so I didn't even start the quest. Remember to CLICK inside the box, not just mouse over it. Hope this helps.

It does work to do this, but not always does it give you the correct one to use. Being a musical one, there may have been just one choice, but for many products there is more than one choice, and the process you describe only shows you one.

Has anyone actually had a pay out on these Quests? I haven't.

[whosyou?]

If you are referring to FC,then no.They said they MIGHT in the future give FC as a reward for completing quest.For now,we only earn coins.

[Suz60930]

I keep getting the quest to load the candle lantern. I've had it 3 times now, I think. Can't do this quest and it's really annoying to have to wait 8 days for it to expire. Would be great if we could speed up the process by doing at least some of the steps.

[carolann43]

I have an unusual problem. I get the same 4 quests, over and over.....

[smarsh]

the problem with your suggestion to buy the facility, some of us do not have the money to spend on games....also you can't get another quest until that one is finished and if you can't do it then you may have to wait days before it is gone

Unless it has just changed, one quest does not have to finish or expire before the next quest is available. A new quest is available every FT day, which is every 20 hrs.
If you don't do one, just wait 20 hrs and open another one. Maybe it will be one you can do.

I feel slightly hosed.Like most other parts of the game (and all other beta platforms) they employ tactics to entice users to spend real money for credits to support further development. Think of it this way: You are occasionally paying for the opportunity to play for free AND offer suggestions. I've noticed that some facilities are now available for coins rather than cash, as they used to require. When was the last free lunch you all remember? I know, Costco, but you have to walk while you nibble and, unless you are a talented romancer of older women, seconds are not always available. I just bought sections of the new train track to run straight though one of my farms, then searched for half an hour for the engine and passenger car I saw SOMEWHERE, but could not find them. I am still wondering if one can actually place them on the new tracks, which would be a breakthrough. My Vineyard, which I have not played recently, allows one to place engines and a variety of cars that MOVE along the rail bed. Like ducks, for instance. Toot! Quack!

Finding the Train items...

It is best to switch the display to alphabetical .

Train Tracks ....... Paths/Grounds section

Train Depot ....... Buildings section

Train and carriages

Red passenger locomotive .... Motion section

Red passenger wagon ........... Motion section

You can place them on the tracks , however they do not move (or waddle :) )

Not sure exactly what you mean by "some facilities are now available for coins rather than cash, as they used to require."
There have always been facilities that could be purchased by coins and others purchased with FC. NONE have been changed from FC to coins. This would not be fair to the ones that purchased with FC. (Unless the devs refunded our original FC! LOL)

donut shop, ice cream factory, musical instrument factory, oil factory, pool bar, soft drink factory, vegetarian restaurant.

If you have one of them , open it and find a product that uses coconut as an ingredient.. Then click on the green + symbol and request the ingredients for that product. The ingredients requests are included in the option for gifts with that lifeline.

Kathy, I took a small section of the farm I have my restaurants on and put 4 of every tree that produces on it. They stay there permanently and are only harvested when needed for quests. I only harvest what I need for the quest. Saves having to wait for trees to grow. They are all ready to harvest, just waiting. :)

several of my friends have asked me to help them with quests , I don't know HOW you give or sell the items they to them ..they don't know either , does anybody ? I sold horse hair ON my farm to the last one and it didn't work , there was no option to give it to her ..she said the quest told her to get it from a nieghbor . HOW????

If it is a gift lifeline that they got, they need to go to a factory that they have that uses horse hair like the sports accessories factory the pool table brush and click on the green "+" to ask for a gift. If it is a trade lifeline then you would sell the horse hair to them.

I used the link to get help from another source , it said to go to market to buy the item which I did and it worked ( I didn't need it ,I was testing to help a friend to see how this worked ) SO my point is all teh peopel who gripe about not having the fac to do teh quest , get a lifeline and get the item that way YOU DON"T NEED teh fac to make it .

Obviously the product you needed was a beginning or middle element of your quest. The 'griping' others are doing about not having a facility is in relation to the fact that to do the very last stage of any quest YOU DO NEED to own the facility in your own right on you own farm.

[musicman1215]

I love doing the quests because they are challenging and they motivate you to get more coins. the quicker you get done, the more coins you get. I have set aside two crop fields on one of my farms strictly for quests, and it has worked tremendously well.

[Texas Star]

I understand that the quests are random, but I am wondering why my neighbors get so many 10, 11, 12 and 13 step quests, while I am lucky to get 6 or 8 steps once in a while. I have been keeping a list since the beginning and so am not mistaken. I have bought most of the facilities, farm cash as well as coins, so have only had two quests that I could not complete due to lack of facilities. In the last 25 quests I have gotten:
5 2-step,
4 3-step,
5 4-step,
3 5-step,
5 6-step,
1 7-step,
2 8-step. I have not had any 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 steps. In fact I have not had anything above 8 in the last 38 quests... My neighbors continue to get higher numbers of steps and have been getting the 11, 12 etc. and very few 2, 3, or 4 step quests. Is this just bad luck, or is there something I can do to increase my odds of getting the higher number of steps? I have always finished the quests well before the deadline. Thank you for you attention to my issue. I started the quests about 3 days after they were available and have only missed 3 or 4 days when I did not have internet access. Thanks again.

Thank you for the quick response! I was afraid of that ... never been lucky on these things but still, I am making some extra coins! ;)

[kourty]

I didn't even know the steps to the quest went to the double digets..lol. I have never seen one either, and I play them all the time.!!!!!!!

"Perhaps, when we are mousing over the steps in a quest, it could tell us exactly which facilities we need to complete said quest. I am kinda bummed, as I actually took the time to read the Game Guide, and it said Beauty Salon for the Eau de Toilette. "

When I have to use a facility I always move cursor over the order and the facility picture appears along with the name. Isn't that true for everyone?

Yeah it does, but only if you have completed all the prior steps. If I have not completed all prior steps, it won't tell me which facility is needed. It just says to "complete steps highlighted in green first" But a prior poster told how to get around that... :)

[HelenJS22]

I understand that the quests are random, but I am wondering why my neighbors get so many 10, 11, 12 and 13 step quests, while I am lucky to get 6 or 8 steps once in a while. I have been keeping a list since the beginning and so am not mistaken. I have bought most of the facilities, farm cash as well as coins, so have only had two quests that I could not complete due to lack of facilities. In the last 25 quests I have gotten:
5 2-step,
4 3-step,
5 4-step,
3 5-step,
5 6-step,
1 7-step,
2 8-step. I have not had any 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 steps. In fact I have not had anything above 8 in the last 38 quests... My neighbors continue to get higher numbers of steps and have been getting the 11, 12 etc. and very few 2, 3, or 4 step quests. Is this just bad luck, or is there something I can do to increase my odds of getting the higher number of steps? I have always finished the quests well before the deadline. Thank you for you attention to my issue. I started the quests about 3 days after they were available and have only missed 3 or 4 days when I did not have internet access. Thanks again.

I'm know that the quests are totally random ...... but I'm also quite sure that a little gremlin who lives on my farm knows exactly when I have plenty of time to play FarmTown and when I am so busy with real world stuff that I have little play time left.

It is then that he chooses my quests and gives me a tiny 2 or 3 step quest when I have plenty of time to do the quest ..... and a 12 step quest when I'm so busy that I would kill for a small one :eek: :rolleyes: :D

.... and that's just the way it works :p

[Miz judy]

OH my! I have played the quest since Feb 1- and have made millions, and millions and I spend them coins too. Its been lots of fun-but it does take factories and some we do not own, but we just let those quest slid by. So far only three I've not played. Today finished 4- quest and have 3- by morning to do/ They make more coins than working all the time for others.

[Ghandi]

I stopped playing the game before Quests were released. Clearly sometime in early 2009 or probably even way before is when I stopped.

Anyway, I'm level 28 and an old account. How do you initiate a Quest?

Hi there,

Welcome back :)

You do need to be level 30 before you can start them, but when you do get there........

Click on the yellow toolbox, then the green arrow to expand the toolbox. Look for an icon that' looks like a dice. Click on that and then the "Accept quest" button.

And I can say "Back in my day farming was hard work! We didn't have machines, or tools, just other people to harvest for you!" :p

[HelenJS22]

Thanks :)

And I can say "Back in my day farming was hard work! We didn't have machines, or tools, just other people to harvest for you!" :p

LOL, the tools make it much more simple, but have you figured out yet that there are now FOURTEEN farms :eek:

[Ghandi]

LOL, the tools make it much more simple, but have you figured out yet that there are now FOURTEEN farms :eek:

It took me awhile, but I did figure it out. I still only have 1 farm.

When I stopped playing the game(forgot why after all this time) I had 1 million+ coins. At the time, I thought that was a lot. Quests weren't here, no vehicles. You could harvest crops and trees and that was it. Sounds like a "When I was your age..." speech :p

Anyway, while having no vehicles I think I was grandfathered in some advantages. I can plow up to 3x3 and I said, I have no vehicles. I don't know if this is normal as I've known nothing else. I never harvest myself and go to the Market to do it so I don't know if I can do more than 1 plot at a time yet.

Apparently you can make a lot of money on Quests and I want another farm and to expand so I'm trying to get to level 30 to start them up. :)

Click on the final step of the quest (top left box) and it will tell you which facility is needed.. hover over the picture of the facility and it will say 'owned' or not. You can see exactly what's needed and how to obtain it as soon as you open the quest. :)

Hi Molly
while this is true in most cases, when you get a quest to load a service facility..if the product that you have to load can be used in more than one facility you do not find out which one you need until you have completed making the product and the loading of the service facility is the only step left.

[muffin12]

I now have 3 quests that I can't complete bc no facilities. Wish there was some way to get rid of them. Delete quests we cannot do.

[Maryfour12]

Why can we not delete quests?

[Taz D]

Why can we not delete quests?
Because the developers did not give us that capability.

[Jokes]

O LOVE the QUESTS , I want MORE at once or sooner tehn ever 19 houes anyway BUT I wish they were all long ones like making or harvesting several things I don't like ones that require 2 or 3 steps , no fun in that.

[Anne.Paul1]

I have been doing the quests since they came out and have enjoyed them. This morning I finished step #13 of 14 steps only to find out I didn't have the service facility to complete the quest! The quest is "Load 12 x Eau de Parfum in a service facility" The service facility is the mini mall - which I don't own! This shouldn't happen.:(

Yes that's what happens when you don't have the final facility required. You have the option to buy the Mini Mall or you will have to let the quest expire.

It is possible at the very beginning of a quest to click on the final step and if the perfume is only stocked in one facility, it will show you which one is required. If you don't have it, and don't want to buy it, then you have the option to not even start the quest.

[getreal]

All businesses have ways they try to get you to part with your money. Whether or not you part with it is up to you.

I don't have all the cash facilities and I have not been able to complete all the quests. No biggie. I just wait and see what is available the next day.

there's where I have a hard time...I hate waiting!! lol I wish we could delete a quest we can't do and move on to another. I know it's just a game but patience has never been one of my virtues. I am bored with decorating lately and the quests are something different for a change. I only wish there was a place to go to get answers on how certain things work, like trading and gifting and what things can be gifted/traded and what can't. it can get frustrating at times...I'm having to learn those things the hard way.:rolleyes:

Try moving your mouse pointer slowly along the top edge of the button. Sometimes it can get tricky.
If that doesn't try clearing your cache, close your browser and then reopen and try again.

Has it been 20 hours since you opened the last one?

[brian speers]

I don't have the money to buy the facility to finish these quests. Is there any way you can think of making an alternative to get beyond this without paying money.

[rodneycs]

About 2 weeks ago I had 5 quests ina row which I could not com plete. I almost gave up even opening a quest. Several neighbours have told me they have given upon quests because of this problem.

[Molly Tucker]

I can open/redeem quests if I use IE; can't if I am using Chrome. I like Chrome b/c it is much faster, but i switch over for the quests. Don't know if that will help anyone, but it helped me :)

Where is the farm cash that we were sort of promised.? It said "sortly" 5 months is not shortly

[HelenJS22]

On a minor technicality it's not been 5 months yet .... only almost 4 :p But the magic word in the wording is MIGHT. Might in FarmTown means 'don't hold your breath' and SHORTLY can be defined as 'anytime in maybe the next six to twelve months' ... just ask those of us who were around when the original flowers were introduced to the game :D

[Jwebb]

I have 4 quests going right now. 1 is great and there are no problems but the other 3 are the problem. I don't have the facilities for them. 1 is coin, and the other 2 are the same exact quest and require Farm cash to buy it. If I wanted these facilities, I'd already have them. I think there should be a choice of a few different quests before we accept them, or at least have the choice if we want the quest that is offered or not.

haha Helen I was one of those patiently waiting for said flowers. Never voiced an opinion on the matter as I knew they'd come eventually :-)

I harvested the wheat in order to produce flour then I started producing bread! Why does it say none has been started yet when it has!

[JohnAlbertini]

You will need to actual start a flour batch and wait until it is made. It does not matter whether you already had flour made you must start a batch after harvesting the wheat and wait until a batch thus started has finished. Only then can you start the batch of bread.

[Farmer Ruthie67]

I already have done all that. Everything is marked off except the last two steps

[crafty chris]

I already have done all that. Everything is marked off except the last two steps

ruthie what is it youre trying to make and what are the last 2 steps please?

[JW2009]

I agree, 5 months ago it said " In the future the Mayor might occasionally award you 1 FarmCash and/or ingredients based on your performance in previous Quests" in the RELEASE of January 21, 2012, Where is this?Where is the farm cash that we were sort of promised.?

[KnightRider]

When and if they do start that, I don't think they will be handing out as much Farm Cash as people are thinking they will be getting, there will be a lot of complaints from people saying that their neighbor got some cash why didn't they get any.

[Farmer Ruthie67]

Ham and eggs. The last two steps is producing bread and producing the ham and eggs. I also agree about the impossible quests. I already used up most of what I had to buy the semi then I had to hire people to work at my facilities to earn it back. So for now on, I will just let the ones with facilities I don't have expire because I will not waste cash on something I get rewarded coins for. It is not worth it

[alfyclown]

I would like to be able to eliminate a quest if I am not able to complete it. I cannot afford all the facilities that require farm cash, so I won't be able to complete the quests that require them.

I love the game, but it's getting out of hand and obvious that it's intended to make real money for someone. I just hope they don't get too greedy. it's taking the fun out of the game.

[Edwina2]

I also would like to be able to decline or cancel quests I do not have the facilities for as I am on a very limited income and cannot afford to be buying farm cash all the time

[Farmer_Susan]

Can you only use an employee lifeline for one item? My cat is only level 50 and got a quest to produce a White Tea Blend. Her level isn't high enough to buy Rose Hips or Hibiscus so I hired her to help at my farm. She harvested pink rose - got credit for that - then harvested some mango trees and isn't receiving credit. I planted rose hips and hibiscus for her to harvest tomorrow but now I'm thinking maybe it only works for one item?

[meacara]

I'm curious as to why the quests are adding an extra hour onto the time required for steps in the quests. To make walking equipment it's telling me that there are 1.8 hours remaining - if you go to the fitness equipment factory, it only takes 1 hour to produce them, so what is the other .8 hours for? Also, another quests requires canvas textile roll - requires 4 hours to make according to the facility, yet the quest is saying it will be 4.8 hours before it's done. Someone want to explain this.

No you can use the lifeline for multiple items Susan. Did you have her harvest at least 10 mango trees. Remember when working for others you have to harvest 10 to get 1 as you only get 10%.

I do not have the time to go thru all 72 pages of this post. I needed cotton for a quest and hired someone from the market to harvest and plow for me..including a field of cotton. I did not get credit for it. Where does it say in the quest rules you must harvest the crop yourself. Now I have to plant another field of cotton and wait. Oh well, I have Hobos making camp under my bridge waiting for the freight train. They are trashing my farm with their empty bottles of Ripple and Thunderbird wine. Maybe Ill just join them until the cotton is ready. Oh by the way..do you think the FT Sanitation crew could come by and clean up the mess and drop off a porta potty???

There is a Blue Plastic Outhouse (sure looks like a porta-p) for the normal-inflated cost of 18,000 coin.... or the pink one (which no respectable hobo would use) for $10 Farm Cash. Then there is the Waste Truck for a mere 450,000 coin.

I let the hobos waiting at my farms use the gas station rest room.

In the initial release information in January release notes it says:
Right now, Quest Steps need to be completed by working by yourself in your farm or facilities. That is to say, crops or products you get as a bonus working for others, as gifts or by trading at the market won't count, but they will in the future. For now, if you hire others to harvest it wont count either, this may change as well.

[Fireball]

Stoneface,

I am laughing so hard by your response that I may have to wait in line at your GAS Station...Too funny:):)

[Docperk]

Did I do something wrong or does making wine and champagne really take days to complete and then you only get 3 or 4 mil coins for it where as other quest you can complete 1 or 2 days and get 10 - 15 mil for? I have had quest for 3 and 4 year red wine and 5 and 6 year champagne and they have all taken a few more days that other quest.

The amounts you get are based on how many steps first, then by how fast, your level, etc. Since the number of steps to do the wines are few but just long then...

[alfyclown]

and yet another quest that I cannot complete because I don't have the facility that costs farm cash. frustrating. I wish there were some way to delete a quest that we are unable to complete. I have a limited income and will not be buying farm cash at any time. it was great when we could earn the farm cash. now, it's almost impossible. we have to wait until you upgrade to a new higher level. even the promise of "farmcash awards by the mayor for completed quests" hasn't been fulfilled. losing interest in this game and I've been playing for over two years. if things don't change I will sadly be giving up a game I've really enjoyed until now.

[RFMad]

I just opened the quest to make an aged Champagne. I noticed that the time to make a barrel of Champagne was 30 hrs instead of the 3 that the facility says. Will it make a difference in the timing? Will it go off the facility or the quest?
I enjoy the quests and don't have any problems - even when I don't have a facility. I just let it expire and open a new one the next day. Thank you for a fun game where everyone can play the way they want without pressure to do it one way.
