Resources Required:
3 Toadstool pots
60 Pink Diamonds (for pots)
2 Supershrooms
2 star dust for Superfood
3 Fairy tale Seeds

Steps:
1/ Plant a fairytale seed in each of the 3 different pots (Red for hot, Blue for cold, and Green for just right)
2/ Dust the toadstool in the Red and Blue Pot right down and then fruiting dust them both
3/ Dust the toadstool in the green pot 3 times down to 6 hours
4/ Wait 6 hours, when the green toadstool is fully grown, fruiting dust it
5/ After 18 hours the Red and Blue toadstools will be RFH and attracting Auricoma
6/ Plant your supershroom and dust it to Fully grown
7/ Place 2 low plates in your garden
8/ Put Superfood berries on one plate
9/ You will get either hot or cold porridge on the empty plate once the fairy comes
10/ Watch your porridge plate to make sure you get 7 bears to visit
11/ Once you have 7 bears (or more) and a few feedings of berries left, clear the porridge plate so the next time Auricoma visits she will put out a new bowl of porridge.
12/ You will need to replant the supershroom halfway through the second plate of superfood porridge.
13/ Once the 2nd porridge is all used up, clear both low plates and put out one plate of SF berries.
14/ When Auricoma comes she will place the last bowl of porridge out

Things to be aware of:
Porridge is food, so caterpillars will eat it. Don't plant a rainbow seed with your supershroom or else you will have more competition and risk not getting 7 bears.
Also don't attract critters that eat 'anything' (Raccoons, Hedgies, etc) for the same reason, more competition.
The Green toadstool is staggered by 6 hours so that it won't be the first bowl of porridge placed out. It needs to be the second or third bowl placed out because you may need 15 feeds to get 7 bears if you hit a bit of bad luck. Both the 2nd and 3rd bowl of porridge get to run for the full 15 feeds. This allows you to use 2 star dust instead of 3.

Hope this is helpful. As always I'm open to suggestions. :)

Happy Fairytales!

Planting a rainbow butterpillaflora does not make more caterpillars come.  It just insures that the ones that do come are worth more than 2 diamonds.  I plan to plant one.

I only plan to plant a supershroom for the baby bear.  I also only plan to use superfood for the baby bear.  The others will have a pink cap and double food.

Hi Brigette,

Thanks for you feed back. I tend to disagree with both of you choices.

  I haven't seen the math on the rainbow plants, but in my experience looking at gardens, I do see more caterpillars showing up in gardens with a rainbow plant in them. Here's the way I look at it. With a supershroom there is only competition from one pillar, the WRC. With the rainbow plant, there is competition from 6 different critters. Unless I see some definitive evidence that the chance for a WRC to come is the same as the chance for all 6 critters to arrive I won't chance planting the rainbow plant and also won't recommend it.

As for using a regular mushroom and double organic, that is your choice. From what I have seen goldilocks and mice both come very often with anything but a supershroom, even on hot and cold porridge.

It may seem like you are saving resources by setting up the way you describe but my hunch is you may end up having to use and additional fairytale seed and 20 pink diamonds for DO berries, at least.

I wish you luck, and feel free to report how things go with your set up.

I find it easier to get fairytale seeds than aupershroom seeds right now.  And I save my stardust for backgrounds, this will be the first time since I did cranes ages ago that I will use superfood.  Other than when it is free, of course, haha.

Thank you for this very clear guidance Martin =)

Martin and Magick11 years, 2 months ago

That's a good point. Everyone is different. If you have a lot of Fairytale seeds them your definition of optimal may be different from mine. :)

So that said, I created my guide to get the fairytale done with the least resources. If you find that setting up a different way is more optimal for your play style by all means change what you like in my guide. ;)

Personally, I'd do it opposite... Get the baby bear done first using the whole plate of porridge then split the superberries for the other two, as you suggested. That way if you don't get all 7 baby bears, you can grow another while the papas and mamas are coming.

Melody and ~ஐ~ Linnette ~ RDЯ ~ஐ~11 years, 2 months ago

Also doing it that way, you'll get more fairies eating the berries on both times, not just the once on your suggested second go of berries.
