Favorite place to play in HayDay - discussion/experiences

I love the town and the boats. And derby. Trucks I like once in a while when there’s an event on, and I’ll empty out my barn and rebuild after the event.

The one area I’ve never liked is the valley. Never got the hang of it the first couple of times I tried it .. with those clouds and the strange driving around which seemed so pointless, I gave up on it and played other areas of the farm that I enjoyed. It may be because I didn’t spend enough time to figure it out, since I do see a lot of chat about it and people who enjoy it. After I retire I’ll probably spend some time at it trying to figure it out. 😎

Thank you very much for your point of view.  

LOL, I must admit that I didn't like boats. I dealt with them in the past only for permit events which are long gone, sadly. With the implementation from the farmpass they will never occur again. The only exception for me to deal with boat orders is in derby but only when it's inevitable or when it's required for the farmpass. Actually I use the free farmpass.

Truck orders...I can't say I "love" them either. I figure I handle them only when I feel like it.

Valley is always inconvenient to me, in this respect FullAck to you. But in the valley are often items I desire and that's the reason I attend to it. For example this time I can get 3 permits, 6 mallets, 1 land deed and 1 marker stake. So I'm trying to handle it as well as possible.

But you can be sure that if not much land would have been added my efforts would be much less. I don't like the valley either. So I mostly concentrate on my town. I can handle it easily, I can always choose what to do or not to do, and I can change my priorities as needed. Actually I use very often my personal train because for every served townie I'm getting an item. And the chance to receive the wanted LEW is greater as to use the other possibilities.

Shepherd girl, once you get the hang of it I think you will enjoy the Valley much more. The opportunity for Valley exclusive deco may be the driving force (no pun intended). After the first valley season, I wanted to give up.  And I’m not great at it, but can at least get enough tokens to get the deco and a few extra goodies, like scrolls, EMs, etc. 

As far as this thread, I have found that as long as I’m working the town I have enough axes and saws to keep the farm neat. I love the events in the town where you are guaranteed barn or silo EMs. I just wish SC would find something that would engage players more in the town. 

With much of HayDay’s features, an understanding of how it all works does help. I’m not a maths type of person, but I will trust those that have experimented long and hard to figure it out. 👍

YES!  Thanks to FrogOn for rescuing this link and thanks to donkeyfan for calling attention to it!

I am an enthusiastic town player. My personal train is maxed at 10, and my buildings are fully expanded, so the town is a great source of bonus items. (Lem, sem, bem, tem, saws, axes). excess items collected go in my stand.

I do play the valley, but only to get tokens to get the special deco item package offered at the end and permits, of course. The sanctuary truck breakdowns and animal escapees both annoy me no end. And tokens are hard to accumulate in the chicken valley, which is also annoying.

I do easy boats, to add to my voucher collection. But not very many during the current triple XP event.

I do the blue truck orders for metal bars and occasionally jewelry, also to get vouchers.

I mostly ignore sanctuary animals but feed pets (I have all of them). Pets give me lots of expansion items, saws and axes. Sanctuary animals give mostly XP, which I am not enthusiastic about accumulating because the higher your level, the more demanding are your boats, townies and trucks.

I do the free farm pass only to get the 1 permit at the end. This time there is a cute fish deco offered, also! I do not collect the XP any more, because it makes you level up too fast.

I play the derby occasionally but opt out when my real life is busy. When I play, though, I like to do all 320 tasks and finish 9 tasks as quickly as possible. My hood is very relaxed about the derby. We like to stay in the champions league and usually finish some place in
the middle. Trophy acquisition is not our goal. We do try to get all the horseshoes, though. I always opt out of the mystery derby.

My daughter and I are heavy town plays and I find that I get more expansion stuff, axes and saws from playing there than any other place.

I took a brief hiatus from playing Hay Day (before they had sanctuary animals) and about a year ago decided to play again since time allows, but with all the new things I missed I'm way behind in upgrading barn/silo and getting puzzle pieces. I seldom do boats unless it's a derby task I take or if it has a puzzle piece as a reward.

I also find that playing the town helps me keep my barn space low enough to where I can keep BEMs and SEMs and upgrade quicker due to all the new products I found I had to make. I think I had to buy four new machines when I came back. Thankfully I had the money to get them, but it nearly wiped me out.

Mystery Derbies are the absolute WORST!  

For me, I have not really focused on the town for most of my playing days (Level 113 Farm), but am slowly starting to get into it. I only do boats that have puzzle pieces linked to them. The sanctuary animals take an eternity to complete, but I have around 16 right now. I'm trying so hard 

Yes, you're right. I'm slowly realizing this  .

It's ok though. It gives me something to work towards! Lol. I will get there one day!!

I don't have a favorite place. Guess I like everything about equally. Fishing used to be my least favorite. Now that I know there are methods to catching each fish, I actually like that area too.

🌻 Farmgirl 👩‍🌾 , we're in the same easy boat Couldn't describe it better.

Well next week there is a fishing event, fish on. Tuesday till Friday.
