Understanding the Global Event

Why Do Some Players Rank so High?

The Global Event involves every player who joins in the mission. If, as a farming community of neighbors, we meet the total point goal set by the game developers, every player who donated the minimum number of points or more receives the final reward. This final reward will be the value of the mission for most farmers. 

 

The cost is usually a new RC crop and possibly a machine if you are a newer player. Neighbor Farmers make the global order items and sell them in the mission to add to the total score.

If most players contribute just the very minimum number of points and then stop working the mission completely, the Global Goal may not be reached. In that case, no one will get the Final Reward. It is important to contribute a bit more than that, even and especially if you aren't going to be one of the "top 800". Ranking is not the true purpose for this mission. The purpose is to reach the global points goal.

The Global Event rewards in three ways:

Once the global goal is met, all players who contributed at least the entry level of points will receive the Final Reward at the end of the mission.
The top players from each of the Tiered Leagues receive a collectible and some Honor Points. Find your League by clicking The Check Ranking green button, then look at the tabs, which will show Level XX League, Current Event, and Previous Event.
In the "Top 800" rankings, the top 200 players overall receive an additional reward and some RC, and another 600 players get some Honor Points. 
 

Most players don't rank in the top 800, but with a little strategy and some persistence you can rank for your League. But even if you don't "rank" at all, so long as you donate at least the minimum number of points (and hopefully a bit more for good measure) you should receive the Global Event Final Reward.

 

How do some players start out the mission with thousands of points?

The developers can and do investigate farms where illegal activities occur and perpetrators are banned. While it is unfortunate that this has happened in the past and quite possibly continues to this day, high ranking players do have the ability to put out very big numbers using fair means available to anyone who is willing to do what it takes. How do they do it?
Family Farm runs several platforms, and each mission is rolled out over several days. The mission details are the same for each platform, so by having a farm on the platform that starts each mission, you will have access to that information "in advance" for classic Family Farm.
Or you can join the Facebook Felicia into the Wonderland World Group, where the Admins take time to post those early mission details to the group.
Family Farm releases the crops a day or two in advance for missions where ranking is involved. They announce new items that are coming up on their Facebook page so you can watch for them.
High ranking players purchase the new crops as soon as they are available. They plant and harvest continually to create a stockpile. They also keep a big stockpile of other crops and useful products in their barn.
High ranking players purchase multiple machines and use farm aids to feed large numbers of crops to these machines. Perhaps they have built out their farm with super soil, or purchased extra RC to spend on rainbow rain. Where does lots of extra RC come from? The only way I know is to purchase it with cash.
High ranking players keep their farm up and running 24 hours a day. They watch for the event to begin and get started immediately, setting alarms and never shutting down their computers for the duration of the event.
Some people want to be number one, or they are collectors and want All The Stuff. Only a handful of people can be in the top three! 
 

All this work for a machine that will probably never be used for anything except a few production trophies.

 

The rest of us have common sense. We want to get the Final Reward. We might also level up, and it is supposed to be fun!

 

A handful of ambitious players cannot close out the Global Goal. We all saw that in one of the 2023 events, and at least once previous to that. If we don't all work together, we won't get the Final Reward. That is what this is all about. I hope you will join those of us who are trying our best to get that final reward for everyone! 

 

I hope this helps to better explain why this mission can have value! Happy Farming!
