Making best use of Country Fair/Farming Contest trophies

[Jeanne508]

I'd like some clarification on the best way to use my trophies.

First - It is my understanding that when I place the trophies in the field, my chance of increased drop items is equal to the sum of the value of each trophy. In other words, if one trophy gives me 7% and the other gives 11%, my drop items probability will increase by 18% - regardless of whether I am harvesting crops or animals. Is this correct?

Second - How can I make sure my trophies are recognized once I place them in a field? I've read that some people refresh the browser, or log off and back on. I've read that people clear the adobe cache. Some do both. Which of these is necessary, and why? Is it sufficient to wait a given amount of time for the trophies to be recognized?

TIA

Hello Jeanne508 yes if both trophies are on the same field then they are added together to give you the combined percentage rate.

All you need to do is refresh to ensure the system as recognised that both trophies are on the same field and to clear flash and cache once a day, I usually do it when I am shutting computer down or if having problems.


Can we help you further?

I am not sure why people are choosing to clear their adobe cache just because they have moved their trophies, it is not necessary unless there is a graphics glitch.

At the most all you should have to do is to refresh or wait a few seconds before harvesting. Refreshing forces the system to read that you have moved the trophies but the time it takes to do that is almost the same amount of time you need to wait anyway. To be honest I would just change fields and go back, that also forces the system.

I sent my question to BP before it occurred to me to post here. This is the answer I got. Do any of you mods have anything to add? If not, OK to close the thread.

No nothing further I do not see any real need to log out when moving trophies takes up valuable time from harvesting especially when your doing event crops.
