I'm just curious. Has anyone finished the fairytale/rainbow of fish/bottom dwellers/topiary trail without superfood? (only with organic/regular)

I'm sure there are some who complete those challenges without superfood. Personally, when I do work on them, I will use superfood (although not always with the topiary since I have roughly 5 days).
But I also know there are people who will wait until a free superfood weekend in order to work on a piece of one of the challenges. For fairy tales, that means having the needed FT toadstool with a bubble on top for quite some time (because we don't know if/when a free superfood will happen). For the other challenges, you can setup for them pretty quickly once the News (1) appears.

good luck

I tried to do fairytales without superfood as i dont really buy gold previously but when i got to the billy goat gruff fairytale,  i realized it would be be hard with organic food plus it will be a huge amount of extra seeds needed. I also used superfood for the dwarves because they stay so short and would need a few extra seeds to get the required 10 of each spotted. It certainly is possible but would take longer and a lot more seeds to finish.

I did not use superfood for the fairy tales at all. I literally almost never use it as I feel it is a waste of stardust. When I do bottom dwellers I will try to do them if we have free superfood weekends or if we get the week at Christmas again if I’m having trouble doing them without it. But I didn’t use any at all for any of the fairy tales.

Oh and I have only done red for the rainbow of fish so far but I definitely will not be using superfood for any of the colors. :)
