While Sunflower Land is a farming game where the objective is to manage resources like crops, ores, and animals, another management element is added to the players' missions during the chapters: Tickets. Every 3 months a new season arrives in Sunflower Land, bringing many new features. In the current season, we have a new resource: SALT, mainly used to make Aged Fish, which is the new source of XP in the game.
In addition to the new features and resources, we also have the arrival of new items in the Stella Store, which is the chapter's shop. This time Stella's main items are: the Crystal Altar (-5% crustacean processing time), Deep Sea Salt Cave Background (+5 Salt), and finally the Bubble Aura, which has two buffs: the first -20% processing time in the Fish Market and the second a 20% chance of +1 fish processed. Sequentially, the costs of these items are 3000, 6000, and 10000 tickets.
All of these items are NFTs and cost Tickets that are obtained during the season. Last season, I myself ended up miscalculating the number of Tickets I needed, finishing the season with more Tickets than necessary to get the item I was looking for. This caused me to spend extra money during the chapter because I didn't calculate correctly beforehand, which is one of the reasons I tried to complete the track and didn't focus solely on the item. Looking back now, it probably would have been better to just focus on the item and not try to complete the entire track...
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
Calculating Sunflower Land Chapter Tickets
Considering the difficulty I myself had in the last chapter, let's roughly calculate all the ways to get Tickets during the chapter. Some observations: the chapter lasts around 90 days, but the first week has no deliveries, so it's about 12 weeks, with one week having no bounties because it's auction week.
Starting with the animals, which is one of the points of variation, because not all players will be able to deliver all the animal bounties. During the week, beginners can do the easier animal missions, such as cows and sheep, which are more expensive, while chickens can be delivered as many as possible. The barn gives around 15 tickets a week, possibly more or less depending on the required levels. The Hen House is likely to yield between 20 and 26. That's around 45 tickets per week. With that, we already have 500 tickets just from the animals.
Regarding deliveries, the tip is to avoid the most expensive ones, around 2 flowers each, unless you're looking for the most expensive items in the chapter. Completing about half of the delivery missions should earn you around 25 tickets per day, totaling approximately 2100 tickets. Adding the daily chest ticket, you'll have around 2200 at the end of the chapter. Double deliveries add another 300 tickets, bringing the total to 2500 from deliveries and the chest.
For bounties, there's a noticeable difference in delivery costs. Some bounties, like fish, flowers, and fruits, are obtainable without a significant flower cost and are quite easy to complete, costing around 50-60 tickets per week, totaling around 700, with some extra tickets available. Furthermore, we also have bounties that have a certain cost, such as dolls, crustaceans, and the more expensive exotic and obsidian bounties, which few people end up doing, opting instead for the cheaper ones. This should yield around 600 tickets.
Here with bounties, things get uncertain because they change every week. There's also the uncertainty of deliveries, as some are more expensive than others. Finally, we have Chores, which also change their requirements every week and are generally quite difficult to complete, at least half of them. If you focus on the simpler ones, you should get around 40 tickets per week, which is about 500 tickets.
In the end, adding up all the ticket sources, including the track tickets (around 240), we get: 500 (animals) + 2500 (deliveries and chests) + 1100 (bounties) + 500 (chores). This amounts to around 4800, which already guarantees the 3000 monument. The calculations considered the 2x +1 items and being VIP, doing the simpler missions. If you get the last +1 item and do a few more missions, it's quite possible to reach 6000 tickets for the +5 Salt NFT. Use these calculations to make your own plan, thinking about how many +1 ticket items you will get, which missions you will do, and make your own assumptions. The final tip is to keep track of how many tickets you've made during the week to know if you're on track or not.
