    Holy crap where is this blue apple!? I've been shaking every apple tree and picking every bush (just incase) amd all I ever get are green apples or a coin. I've beem on this quest for days now.

    Also, I was wondering why the next traders house blueprint says "coming soon" on it in the shop. I need it to have my 3rd townie and complete a quest soon.

    hah, for 2 days i've been trying to find my 3rd strawberry, for the quest just at the beginning of the game. If this gets even worse later on, i will be forced to quit this.

    That's weird because I havent had any problems finding strawberries. That sucks bro. :(

    There's other crap Ive been doing in-game but it'd be nice to get this quest done.

    I found a guy willing to sell me an explosive barrel for 600 so I guess I've got to save up for that type of stuff.

    I've been cooking and trying to fish to make money which actually is working better than doing the quests. It's still a bit of a grind more than I normally like even in my F2p games. But, it's doable for now.

    I never did find the blue Apple and finally folded using my given pearls to get it. Just so I can continue the quest. That's also after shaking trees numerous times per day over 3 days.

    I have no issues finding strawberries (you can buy them on the farm too I saw) or blackberries so far but driftwood is kind of scarce.

    I find driftwood pretty regularly. Its weird how one persons game has stuff semi common while someone else's game is stingy with the same item. Isnt it possible to trade with other players eventually?

    Feel free to add me on Gamecenter by the way.

    I'm building the swap shop now. My daughter has it already and I was able to buy a stool from her. I'm not sure if you can sell everything or just certain things. When I have mine set up I'll be able to see further. I kind of wish there was an easier way to know what people have for sale instead of having to visit every friend but then again, it's that way in hay day too so I'm not really complaining.

    Where in the name of Seabeard's seabeard can I get a red apple? I've gotten green apples, blue apples but not red apples. Do I have to just wait for green apple to get ripe or something? :eek:

    Do you mean tomatoes? They can be found at the Farm but only on certain days.

    That makes sense. So, for the red painting it's two strawberries and a tomato?

    I do a lot of cooking. Today I splurged and spent 50 pearls for a second cooking slot -- especially since I plan to make a lot of fish chowder with a 2.5 hr cook time. Then I found that it's not a second concurrent cooking slot like the extra slot for the fish trader. It's a queue -- cooking one after the other. I can see how that might be beneficial over night, but it's certainly not worth 50 pearls to me. Just mentioning the queue thing so others don't make the same mistake.

    I don't think I can build a swap shop yet. I'm only Captain lv.4 almost 5.

    Hi everyone.

    Didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I am. It's a very pleasant little time-waster.

    If anyone wants to, feel free to add me on game centre.

    Now I'm just accepting every request i come across and only do those that rewards nicely (NO MORE HATS PLZ). Still looking for that barrel bomb or tree remover so I can build my warehouse...

    I'm still enjoying this game after several hours, but it's very clear that the timers and push towards IAP/premium currency will just get worse and worse. Everything that would lessen the frustration (expanding your inventory, expanding how many things can be sold at once, meeting half of the requirements for quests) is locked behind a 50-pearl paywall. I was thinking I'd save up enough to expand my inventory, but I have no idea how many more slots I'll get, or if it'll be worth it at all. However, just knowing that every little thing outside of that is going to require a few dollars worth of pearls is super discouraging.

    With better balancing, lower costs on both how many coins/pearls things cost and how much those cost in real money, fixed lag in the minigames, and maybe a better rate of experience gains, I would not only love playing more, but would feel a helluva lot more inclined to buy IAP.

    So of course I start really enjoying this game but I am getting a lot of errors getting into the game. Hopefully they get the servers fixed.

    The IAP (cost and rewards) does need some rebalancing. So far I spent 50 on additional QUEUE SLOT for the food crafter, and an additional selling slot for the fish stall and with proper planning out my gather-craft-sell routine I can clock a good 30-40 minutes per session, 3-4 sessions a day without feeling too troubled about my inventory. I believe once I get the ware house, things will be even smoother

    Do each of the sea games have an equal chance of appearing? I'm seeing *EVERYTHING* except Dangerous Water. I mean... I've tried 20+ times.

    Just found a blue Apple on the mine island. Actually, I hadn't noticed it before. Seems I could only see it rotating the screen which I did just by chance.
