Howdy farmers!

We have a new update tomorrow – and it’s a big one! Here’s what is going into the game:

The harbor will get a brand-new look to make space for the Cruise Ship, which is now docking regularly!

1. Cruise Ship

A new event is arriving in the game, starting for the very first time this week. Here’s what to expect: Captain James and his Cruise Shop arrive at the harbor of your main farm, and the crew and guests need your help!

The Cruise Ship event will run for 5 days and is a cooperative event that requires you to join a cooperative and be at least level 19. The event comes with a ranking and a league & division system, just like you know from Coop Championship.

To participate, you need to complete tasks, either a personal task or a task from a shared task list. Shared tasks are also completed individually, scale higher in difficulty but also award more points for the cooperative ranking. When completing tasks, you earn cruise points, progress your personal Hard Worker reward, and contribute to your cooperative’s ranking score. The higher the league your coop reaches, the better the rewards! There is also an internal member ranking.

Difference between personal tasks and shared tasks
Personal tasks are your own tasks. They are specifically created for you and act as another option when you can’t find anything suitable in the larger list of shared tasks. Personal tasks are a bit easier, but also give smaller rewards and cannot be improved via boosters. Examples for personal tasks: Harvest wheat, harvest milk, harvest pigs, etc. Personal tasks do not have different star levels.

Cooperative tasks are from a task list shared between you and your cooperative members. Only one person can work on each task at the same time – so communication with your team is key! Once a task has been completed, it will be replaced by a new one after a short waiting time. If you feel your task is too easy, you want to increase the rewards or give yourself more time, boosters can be used to modify shared tasks. Examples for shared tasks: Harvest lobster, complete mission on rank 1, harvest dye, etc. The more members your coop has, the more shared tasks will be available. Shared tasks can have one to 5 stars, with a sixth star available to add to a task through a star-booster from the Cruise Shop.

You can only run one task at any given time, not a personal and a coop task in parallel! Once you start a task, you have a time limit to complete it. After completing or trashing a task, a 30-minute timer will count down until a new task becomes available. The timer can be skipped for 20 gold (or less if some time has already passed).If you fail a task, the timer will start as well, and you will be offered one last chance to finish it by paying gold. Each task will give varying amounts of cruise points and the currency silver wind rose, depending on the difficulty.

The Booster Shop
There are four different boosters you can buy for farm dollars or gold:

• Captain’s Privilege & Full Speed Ahead: Increase the number of cruise points you earn from tasks by 5%–70%, depending on how much you invest. These boosters can be bought with your personal farm dollars and gold.
• All Hands on Deck & A Strong Crew: Increase the number of cruise points you and all your cooperative members earn from tasks by 5%–70%. These boosters can be bought with your cooperative’s donated farm dollars and gold, and only by the cooperative leader.

Silver Windrose Currency
The silver windrose currency you earn from completing tasks can be spent in the Cruise Shop. There you can get items that can:

• Add additional cruise points to your current task’s rewards
• Add a difficulty star to your current task
• Add more time to your current task
• A new Deco Set that gives a boost to Cruise Points
• As well as other beach-themed decorations, skins, and seeds

You can use only one item on each task, choose the one you need carefully.

Harbor Statue
With the event, a new permanent Harbor Statue will appear at your harbor. It starts at level 1 and can go up to level 30, unlocking various effects such as production bonuses, cruise ship point bonuses, reputation point bonuses, and much more, as long as the statue is activated.

This statue is upgraded with the currency golden windrose, which can be earned through the Ranking Rewards. To activate the statue, you also need golden windrose currency. You earn this currency through the Cruise Ship event, and as long as you still have currency, you can keep the statue running even outside the event.

Hard Worker Rewards
There are Hard Worker Rewards available during the event, including items such as Gold Mining License, Windrose Boxes, Gold Mystery Box (which may contain Gold Mining Licenses), and the new Seaweed Greenhouse Humus XXL (explained below).

Cruise Ship Wheel of Fortune
This Wheel of Fortune is played with Cruise Tokens, a new reward specific to the Cruise Ship event, obtained through Hard Worker Rewards and Ranking Rewards.

The Cruise Ship will also appear in the event camp on your Main Farm, Gourmet Farm, and Flower Farm.

In your quest book, a quest to complete 1 Cruise Ship Task will appear when the event starts.

2. New Greenhouse Seaweed L, XL, XXL for greenhouse production
   Seaweed in L, XL, XXL for Greenhouses is now available. Greenhouse productions can be skipped with this new seaweed.

And that’s it for this update! So, get ready, farmers! The Cruise Ship is about to dock. See you onboard!
