Is it just me or is it WAY more work than it's worth?

    the only annoying part for me is getting the turky roast but i can see how discouraging it is to go through all that work for 1 box that gives you a crap item

    I think the humble potatoes were pretty annoying, but the horrendous looking turkeys are 1 hit kills and you just need to cook em.

    If you have good luck and high gathering skills, you will get the drops in no time at all, well a little bit of time.

    Then all you have to do is to chop some wood and punch yourselves some nail and buy some paint from Walter to make a table.

    NOTE: Do not use fish based red paint that is sold by players. Only plant based red paint works. I found that out last night when trying to cheat myself 100 gold because I found a cheaper paint on sale in AH.

    Of course it's easy. But what does that matter. Walking across the United States is easy if you're prepared for it.

    Yeah, that makes sense. I'll probably do that too.

    Fish based? Plant based? Huh? Isn't the paint you can make made out of fish and plants?

    Nope. Seems like they're forcing us to buy Walter's paint.

    I'm not sure what the drop rates are on those things, I got a giant hat lol. I know the pickaxes and other items give a success bonus but does anyone know what makes the cooking utinzels better than the basic ones, it doesn't really say on the description.

    Agreed on the not worth. Yes it's not strictly difficult, but it's also incredibly tedious and boring. It also doesn't help that both the Potatoes and the Double Yolk Eggs have to be freshly gathered. It doesn't count if you have extras from doing something else. The Turkey's aren't hard to kill, but you have to wait for them to spawn, the drop isn't guaranteed from killing the bird, and then you have to cook it. Though the table is the really annoying one. Again all together not hard, but tedious and immediately repetitive. Plus as someone already pointed out. There's really just nothing in that box which is particularly worth the level of effort involved.

    I'm gonna test if the food drops (the ones with 14 day expiry) can be made into a picnic, but in 10 days. :S

    Well at least you can keep the mats for more than the duration of the quest.

    Wait! You can make picnics with expired food (I realize that sounds funny but there you go)?

    It's now day 3 and I still haven't started the event. I think...I'm skipping this one. Honestly I'm all evented out. I'm tired and weary of mabi and I think I'm just going to log in for 36 minutes and then log out. I'm so tired.

    Pretty much, it's not hard it's just boring, tedious and mentally draining.

    Apply all your luck titles. Pick up abandoned potatoes and eggs others leave behind. Gather in rain if possible.
    Chopping wood and punching light posts for nails shouldn't take more than 5 min.
