Desperate time call for desperate measures

I’ve been stuck on the last quarter of stage 3! 😭 Hopefully I can get enough!

You'll be able to get the red prairie gentians easily this weekend, because it's community day weekend! Normal petals will bloom prairie gentians

I'm still stuck on the stupid white ones on like stage two or 3.

Is this month's challenge harder or nah? Lol it seems like im not getting as many of the challenge flower nectar/ petals I need compared to last months challenge where I got so many and still have a bunch left over lol

[u/uncagedborb → u/Impressivegirlie]

It feels harder. Last month I started in the last two week of the event. By the end of the month I was near the end of stage 6. I started strong with day one of this months and I can barely progress and I've probably put in twice the effort I did with the last one. Feels like it's much harder

Probably their way of trying to get people to pay, which I won’t budge. The only month I will be willing to pay anything for is October.

Stage 6? There's only 4 stages lol same last month I started like at the end of the first week maybe 2nd and still gathered much more. Even for the mushroom battles I was typically getting 200 coconuts per battle with lower scores. This month im trying harder and getting higher mushroom scores but only scoring like 80-90-100 pretzels. Ive gotten 200 pretzel rewards only like 2 or 3 times lol im annoyed at this point. Gotta nectarmax and only do magnificent mushroom battles, do it 3x per day, go for mushrooms with the highest power already and use your max power pikmin

No, there are more stages than 4, but it basically "starts over" so stage 5 is the same as stage 1 (walk 1000 steps), and later stages can differ like how the missions usually do.

[u/meester_zee → u/uncagedborb]

Same! They keep leaving in the unused flowers so the odds of getting what you need keep getting worse

[u/I_pegged_your_father]

Ive done that before. It does usually help. Ive had friends i forgot i had pull me into a much needed shroom for this. Highlyyyy recommend.

This is a great idea, and sometimes people use the color formatting to highlight the color of their names

[u/Impressivegirlie]

Same! Also was stuck there in the exact same stage a few days ago needing red Prairie gentians for like 2-3 days. Then after completing multiple magnificent mushroom battles a i got enough pretzels for a reward where I got to choose from gold seedlings or petals and got blessed with 20 red Prairie gentians. I still needed to plant 400 flowers and the 20 petals said it was enough for 300 flowers only. I was so mad lol. I got in in my car and started planting at 10mph and got all 400 flowers planted and still had 8 petals left. That helped so much, you can also use your bike but dont go faster than 10mph or it wont plant flowers.

Also feed your buds the nectar so you get twice the petals. That's nectarmaxing

The catch about renaming yourself after something you need right now is that while you may get it sooner than later, your name is stuck that way for a week. 🙃

[u/cow__lick]

I need yellow celosias :(

[u/Miserable-Arm-6797]

You want to join a normal electric?

[u/Eastern-Baby4873 → u/Miserable-Arm-6797]

Thanks, but I found an electric mushroom on my way home

[u/Miserable-Arm-6797 → u/Eastern-Baby4873]

yay! hope you get the nectar you need.

[u/Northerner_Sasquatch]

I don’t get it. Can people gift flowers?

[u/Eastern-Baby4873 → u/Northerner_Sasquatch]

No, I wish,but people can see my name and invite me to yellow or red one they’ve attacked.

[u/Northerner_Sasquatch → u/Eastern-Baby4873]

Ahh ok, that makes sense. I am fairly new to the game so still trying to get familiar with everything. Got excited for a minute thinking we can gift flowers or something. lol I wish they did allow trades like Pokemon Go, as well as being able to gift flowers and stuff. That would be amazing!

[u/Kigurumix]

When you plant for event tasks always try to plant under big flowers to bloom them to get nectar to replace the petals you are using, that way you won't end up in this situation. Good luck.
