Farmville 2 Country Escape Equestrian Event |
Hello Farmers, the second half of the FarmVille 2 Country Escape Equestrian Event has begun. If you didn't have a chance to win Charlotte then this is your second chance.
For those that did make it to the Top 5 positions in the leaderboard event; congratulations! The second part of the event will give you the opportunity to upgrade Charlotte. Usually what this means is that she will receive a special bonus apart from bringing 2 Mint during exploration.
Note: This entry can possibly be picture heavy for those on mobile devices.

FVCE2 Equestrian Event Introduction |
When you log into your game the above picture should greet you. Once you click, 'let's go!' the second half of the event will begin on your farm.
|
Show Champion Charlotte |
The Top 5 winners of the leaderboard event will either receive Charlotte or the new upgraded Show Champion Charlotte as a permanent farmhand.
Two New Items to Craft for Part Two in the Equestrian Event
|
Riding Pants |
One of the new items to craft will be the Riding Pants. These do not require a special event item. Watch as this item almost never appears on your request board either. However if it does then it can be crafted at the Loom with trousers, wool, and a copper button.
|
Pony Saddle |
The second new item is a Pony Saddle. This can be created at the Craft Workstation but it does require Fine Leather as a special event ingredient. Wool and Tin are also used for it.
The Event Quests for Part 2 with a few tips
|
Quest Book in FarmVille 2 Country Escape |
A new quest appears when you accept to start the second half of the leaderboard event. There is a timer of about five days to finish the event and the quests before it disappears. Good luck!
|
When I first saw this I thought we were getting a horse farmhand. |
Remember when entering the leaderboard event that a player will no longer be competing against players that can clone items. There are still ways to cheat the system but for the most part it should be a lot easier to place in the top 5.
|
Using so much Alfalfa. Dont want to see it again. |
For the most part a farmer will be placed into tiers that group you up with others that are the same level or near the same level. Also, inventory, barn space, and key usage are also taken into account. If you spend heavily on keys then expect to be placed amongst others that do the same.

Maria's eyes keep getting worse in these pictures |
Showcase points for free(more or less) but they do add up and help.
|
Don't stay up 24 hrs for the event. Get some sleep too |
Racking up the points can be daunting if you find yourself without a stockpile of goods. If another leaderboard event comes around(and one will as these all cycle) then start preparing by making goods beforehand. Having at least 10 of frequently asked for items(such as: peach yogurt, dolls, candles etc.) already made can go a long way in getting ahead of your rivals.
|
Sometimes I wish they would change their dance. |
You'll note as you complete the quests that the awarded showcase points go up and up in value. The more the better as resting for too long is not an option to win!
|
I once threw my tablet out the window due to rage quiting. |
Leaderboard events can be fun or they can be a complete rage-inducing fest. If you notice a player suddenly jumping ahead of you in points don't assume they are cheaters. These types of events bring out the most competitive players all around.
|
Luckily the tablet had a hard case and the window was open. |
First look at the boost they are using and then visit their farm. If the farm is empty or with only one or two machines then most likely that person is using a method to cheat the game.
|
I do not recommend feeding leather to your horses. It's not good. |
However most of the time it's a very competitive farmer that will be constantly using gold boosts and playing nearly 18 hours a day. On top of that, there is the possibility their credit card is being used to buy keys. These are all acceptable methods so don't be discouraged and keep having fun.
|
Zynga made so many glitches during this event. |
Win 300 Showcase points for completing the quest. The final reward of points gets even bigger but so does the quest requirements.
|
I wonder if anyone reads these little captions. |
While you are playing to keep your place in the Top 5 don't forget to help out your fellow farmer. Sometimes there are items they just can't craft in time before their boost expires or they don't have the materials to make it. Being helpful and a part of the team is a part of being in a great co-op.
|
Be one with your Farming Self. Craft, Sell, Always. |
Not to mention that it's probable that the same person you helped out will also be eager to return the favor in your time of need. If the person turns out to be a beggar then kick that person out from your co-op. No need to have sponges bringing down the rest of the team.
|
Earn lots of Showcase points. Never give up! |
This final quest is quite a handful. Not only do you need to earn 300 more Showcase points but you will have to use 10 boosts. Although, I should mention that if you are competing for a top spot then you'll end up using a boost or ten at any rate.
|
Showcase Charlotte or Charlotte here we come |
Good luck in your FarmVille 2 Country Escape leaderboard event. I hope that you all win in one way or another.
Happy Playing!
