NICK DOC and i were talking and we came to the conclusion the mount leveling process is WAY too slow Can we get mount treats like pet treats and the cow brush can we get three or four of them. Seriously getting mounts to level forty is almost laughable and the barn although helpful is also way too slow.pets to level fourty os okay but mounts on the other hand to lvl 40 is practically impossible HKE

Also I would love to be able to cast a fishing NET instead of taking forever to catch fish. This is so boring for me at least. And you should be able to buy a net the same way you buy bait but just cost more. Thanks @Nick! OR it could be another item to buy in the VIP area like fast fishing time, etc. FUN!

i hate to be the bringer of bad news but the slot machines still are under preforming on the ranches. 8 agates is ok for a beginning player but is regretable for a veteran i paid 60.00 for something only a beginner would enjoy. I have all three but wish they paid more than the pittance they do HKE

CRAZY IDEA ALERT!!!

It might be fun and not need a lot of creating time ---to make duplicates of some of the premium ranch items that give out bonuses so you could have two of one item--- three or four of another. We need this kind of garage sale --- to be bought a first or second time

i was thinking

a second mail box

a second picnic basket
a second geode
two or tree bird houses
four cow brushes
a second telescope
a second treasure chest
a second mana well
a second power well
a second advent calendar
a second Eifel tower
a second little pillar
a second alarm clock

No one could afford them all (except maybe doc) but it might be fun to have a sale see what we do buy!

you could also add the gorgon and the fallen angel if you liked also the casino slot machines HKE

•Find 30 Tick removal kits - whack in bushes
•Find 30 squeaky toys - whack in bushes
•Find 30 water bowls -whack in bushes
•Find 30 pet grooming kits -whack in bushes
- Protect the egg from 20 egg thieves ( the egg thieves appear as raptors ) - pop up

Already have a protector quest with Misty

Can we get an indication of how long the wait is for the Carnival Power Strength game?
It doesn't show in the cool down.

From Wiki, I was going to look this up anyway so did it early and can share with you. Looks like one power whack per day and the different amounts of power you need.
You need to have a full Power bar, no matter what your max Power is.
In the beginning, remove any Trinkets that increase your Max Power. This will shorten the amount of time it takes to fill your power bar to the max.
You need 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, and 150 minimum Max Power, with a full bar, to claim prizes on consecutive days.
The Strength Machine will consume only the amount of power it requires, regardless of how much power is in your bar.
Power Requirements

Day 1: 20 max power, full bar
Day 2: 30 max power, full bar
Day 3: 40 max power, full bar
Day 4: 50 max power, full bar
Day 5: 75 max power, full bar
Day 6: 100 max power, full bar
Day 7: 150 max power, full bar

the Pro Toss game (knock over bottles) Doesn't offer the question Have I aced this game. The Popper (balloons) and Whack A Mole do offer that option. You might verify if the shooting gallery (ducks) offers it

Mounts certainly take much more XP to level to 40 than pets do. I'll review the mount treats suggestion and update it's priority accordingly.

Are you imagining using a net instead of bait would yield more fish/valuables per cast than bait does?

The ranch slot machines already scale the Gold and Gem rewards based on the player's level. I will review the yields and make and adjustments deemed appropriate!

I hesitate to allow duplicates of premium ranch items, but I do like the idea of a premium ranch item garage sale! I'll give it some thought.

Adding more varied rewards to the slot machines has been suggested to. We have added a few more systems to the game since first adding the casino, so this seems pretty appropriate.

These are great suggestions for a fresh set of pet hatching quests for Misty! I'll note them down to consider.

A strongwhacker strength game cooldown timer would be handy! I'll note that down for next year's carnival event.

Yes, @Nick I would like to catch more fish at once in a net instead of using bate. Thanks! A net could cost as much as 10 fish and pull up the same number of fish that fishing that many times with bate would provide. I find the fishing BORING!
