My Moon Event Run - what worked for me
Hi all. I looked around a few times to see what kind of advice I could get for the moon event as someone with I guess mid tier gear at this point (two legendary and an epic gear) and wanted to throw out here what worked for me in case someone finds themselves in the same boat for the next time it comes around.
I have the double earnings for life perk. No other paid options
I did not use gems for double/5x because I am trying to save all gems for boxes until I get the ultimates I want
At first I tried leveling just lettuce. Since that's usually the way to go I figured if I had patience it would take a while but then be worth it. (For those unfamiliar, for regular play and other events it's usually best to focus on maxing the first station and then move to the next and keep maxing them one by one in order)
It was not worth it lol. If you want to try this route be aware that for 900-100 you'll be in the late K / early L price range.
I got lettuce to 700 before I decided a better tack would be leveling the top row. I had gotten at least x25 before opening the related station and did not go past red peppers until they were maxed.
So.. lettuce to 600 or 700 (however long it takes to get the x25 on coconut)
Then coconut until carrots are x25
Then carrots until red peppers are x25
Now red peppers get up to 600 and by then lettuce has the x50 option so swing back to that until 800.
Then coconut will have the x50 option so 800 it. Then carrots. Then red peppers.
By then lettuce will have the x100 option. You can now max it. Then coconut will have the x100. Max it. Then carrots. And so on.
Alternately you can just go to 950 and then get the next one to 900 and then go back to max the previous one at your convenience. I started doing this at red peppers. The point is to have an immediately better crop as soon as you unlock it so as long as you have x100 unlocked you're good to go. Open and get it to at least 900 immediately. Usually the x100 opens up when you're at around 930-950 for the station you're working on.
This worked for me even with not having much time to babysit the game Friday/Saturday. I finished today (Sunday) with about 12h to spare. I hope this helps someone else for the next event.
For clarity my stats are:
-
367% profit
-
115% instant food
-
10% perfect good
-
Workers walk 280% faster
-
Food made 500% faster (useless for this event)
My vault is lv 1 everything except investor gems at 25% chance.
And of course make sure you utilize inviting chefs and making your focus dish whatever gets you the most money.
Good luck!

One needs to be flexible and upgrade whatever gives you the most bang for buck. It changes as you get the upgrades.
Just doing the lettuce is certainly the most brainless method, requiring no thinking at all, but definitely not the most efficient.
FWIW, as someone in roughly the same spot as OP prior to the event, I did just Lettuce to 1000, then just a middle option (forget which) to 1000, then the last option straight to 1000- and I finished in about 6-7h from when I started.
