I am having issues with the MFA to update images, so it's going to be exclamations marks and question marks until I can upload assets.

Welcome to Big Farm Homestead's Crab Control event! Homestead is not as supportive as they once were, so we are doing this old school style and will be building the event and tables as the info comes in.

This is the event you have been holding your lures for!

You can read the post I did a few weeks ago for more background.

This is a reskin of Sunshine Island's (SI) Ocean Guardians. Let's look at some of the features:

• In true Big Farm style, this event if filled with bugs, and the advice coming from Homestead is over the top. Just load the game fresh, because the live loading or resume is causing lots of issues to displays showing up, and the fishing quests inside the delivery crane are sea junk from SI. They are aware of this.
• My biggest pet peeve is there are 3 tasks lines, found in 2 different spots.
• You meet a new character - Vera - on the back of the fishing Island. She will give you the main questline - Crab Control (CC).
• If you look at the task book, there are more quests. There seems to be no map interaction with these quests, so you must go to the book. Some of them stack nicely together.
• As you do this event, you will randomly get Toolboxes. These make the whole event amazing.
• The key task to note is Sunken Treasure (ST). If you find a rusty tool box, go claim it to start the next one.
• Vera will also give you Shoreline Scavenging (SS) via the task book. You want to go collect those when you hit 30 crab cages.
• You will find crab cages scattered along your shorelines. (represented on the charts as an arrow). They are a 1 per 3 hour spawn rate, so you can do once per day down to 5 and get more than a day before it fills up again. We will have to see how it plays out towards the end. In SI, this task line was a P2P feature when you looked at spawn rate vs quantity needed vs event duration. We simply don't know those numbers yet.
• To fish crabs - you land the bobber ON the round shadow and don't need to wait for it to bite. The better the fishing area (Hull 1 &2 Upgrades), the better the crabs.
• The event has it's own currency, Crab Credits. I will use the exclamation mark and word 'coins' for it till I get this fixed, or moved to a new host.

Thanks!
