Have too many seeds? There are things you can spend them on:
- 10 Fertilizer, once daily
- The Spring Gift Bouquet, once daily (alternatively to buying for Spring Tokens)
- Resetting the cooldown on the critic's judging of your garden

For players level 400+, Farmer McDonald will reward you with Tier 2 Spring Fruit and Spring Vegetable seeds! These crops will yield energy and gold balanced for your higher level.

More Decorations!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I find the seeds?
    Just keep whacking. The Holiday Item runes and pets will help attract them as well.

  • How do I grow plants?
    There are the planters outside the garden to grow flowers in. If you click on them, you can see the plant store. Each plant has a different cost and grow time to get you your event progress points. You start with 4 free planters.

  • Is it good to buy extra planters for growing the plants?
    If you have the seeds to spare and prefer to plant long-growing plants, then yes, it's worth it.

  • How do I get the Decorator achievement?
    If you go into the gardening area, the store button ($) has a selection of garden decorating items, where you can find the planter styles and watering can. These items also cost seeds.

  • What are the possible seed combinations for Farmer MacDonald's quest?
    You can choose seeds that grow either Energy or Gold, and then choose between 20, 15, 4, and 3 hours of growth time.

  • Why do my custom seeds cost Gold to plant?
    You created the combination, which is unlocked until they expire. Just like normal plants, they cost Gold for planting. We don't award a flat number of seeds, because not all players have the same amount of farm plots. This way, you get to choose how many you end up growing. :)
  • Why don’t my custom seeds last longer?
    Because they're OP! Enjoy them while they last. :)

  • How do I please the judges?
    Just keep growing plants. As your event progress increases, you will impress the judges more and more. You DO NOT need to place them in your garden if you don't wish to. The plants still count for progress.

  • Does the Timey-Wimey watch or Time Turner affect the judges?
    No, judges do not have quest cooldowns, so trinket effects that work for quests will not apply to them.

  • What adds to my event progress?
    Growing plants worth points and completing the side quests. To get the points from your plants, you don't even need to place them in your garden! Just grow them!

  • Do I have to do the achievements?
    No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

  • Where can I see all the achievements available and how to get them?
    Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

BW2: Pasture Update! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

A Peaceful Pasture

Howdy there, Bush Whackers! Take a gander at an all new zone, the Pasture; complete with a Barn that will train your pets for you, earning them XP while you're off on your adventures! Not only that, you can decorate this zone much like your House, Golf Course, and Island.

But hold your horses; You have to unlock it first!

Unlocking the Pasture

There are two phases to unlocking the pasture: the community phase, and the individual phase.

Community Phase

Before each of you can unlock your own Pasture zones, you'll first have to complete a community quest to save derelict barns across Bushwhackia at risk of condemnation by winning a legal battle in Commons Court!

Let the barn battle begin!

Unlocking Your Pasture

The requirements to start unlocking your own pasture zone are the following:

- Level 110+
- Have owned 10 pets
- Have owned 4 mounts
- Progressed to the Deep Swamp or farther

Once you meet these requirements, you'll be able to start a quest chain at Clint or the Town Crier that, once completed, will unlock your own Pasture.

Note: If you skipped the Lower Evergreen Forest zone, you will eventually need to go back and complete it to finish the Pasture quest chain.

Pasture Features

Like your other zones, you can decorate your Pasture to your hearts content and your friends can come visit!

What sets the Pasture apart from your other zones is the Barn!

A Battered Barn

Inside the Barn is room for several Training Pens which you can purchase. 2 pens can be bought for Gold and Gems, another 2 for Bush Bucks, and 2 more for Gold and Gems after you've upgraded your Barn.

Training Pens

Training Pens allow your Pets and Mounts to earn XP while you're away adventuring! This means, among other things, you can keep your high level pets and mounts equipped to optimize your bush whacking, while leveling other ones at the same time. This can help you raise Pets for to release at PAGAS for rarer DNA!

CAUTION: Check in on your mounts regularly if you're raising them for certain bonuses. You'll want to feed them the desired Feed (alfalfa, beans, etc.) between levels.

There are two kinds of Training Pens, ones for Pets and ones for Mounts.



To use a Training Pen:

1) Click on it to open up the Training Pen pop-up
2) Set the occupant
3) Add some Training Kibble.

It's that easy! You'll need to top up a pen's feed at least every week or so. You'll receive a notification on the bottom right if a pen is occupied and out of feed.

If you have enough Training Kibble in your inventory, clicking the "Fill" button will top up the Pen's stockpile to its maximum. Otherwise you'll see a "Buy" button that will take you to the "Ye Tutelage Paddock Supplier" to purchase more kibble.

Training Kibble

There are 2 kinds of Training Kibble you can purchase right from the Training Pen: Training Kibble for Gold and Nutritious Training Kibble for Bush Bucks. Nutritious Training Kibble yields DOUBLE the XP of Training Kibble. Nutritious Training Kibble is a more efficient use of your Bush Bucks compared to buying levels at Hank the Farmhand or Clint, but you have to wait for the results.

The Training Pen popup will tell you the projected XP gains given the current amount of Kibble in the pen.

Barn Embiggening

Some time after having unlocked the Pasture you'll get the opportunity to upgrade the Barn! The requirements for upgrading the Barn are:

- Level 320+
- Have owned 50 pets
- Have owned 20 mounts
- Leveled 25+ pets to level 40 (released pets included)
- Leveled 15+ mounts to level 40 (released mounts included)
- Purchased 2 training pens
- 10 Pasture expansions
- At least a day since you unlocked the Pasture

An expanded barn has room for 2 more Training Pens and has a fresh coat of paint to boot!

Giddy Up!

Post your comments and questions here on the forum!

Change Log

FAQ

Can I place an expiring Pet or Mount into a Training Pen?
You can! It will gain XP like a normal Pet/Mount. It will automatically be removed from the Training Pen when it expires.

I cannot start the quests but meet all the requirements!
If you're unable to start the Pasture unlock quests, check your active quests in your Quest Bar/Quest Dialog for any that might involve expanding your ranch house, buying the private island, or building the cottage. Any quest chain that at some point requires Jim's lumber quest cannot be done at the same time as another. This means if you've got the house expansion, private island, or cottage quest chains active you won't be able to start the Pasture quest chain.

Will Pets and Mounts in Training Pens still get XP when I'm not logged in?
Yes. Your Pets and Mounts in Training Pens will still get XP when you're logged off or not actively playing the game, so long as they have enough Training Kibble in their pen. When you next log in to the game, the Training Pens will still count time you didn't have the game open.

BW2: Endangered Species Mini Event V! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Endangered Species - Fifth Encounter

Habitats are changing, and it's endangering many different animal species. Carson Tiva has found that three different endangered species can currently be found in Bushwhackia, as they search for new places to live.

Three Endangered Species

Sumatran Tiger - A small and narrow-striped tiger critically endangered by poaching and habitat loss

Black-Footed Ferret - An adorable flagship species now endangered after losing their prey and its grassland habitat

Blue Whale - The largest known mammal endangered by commercial whaling worldwide



Collect Conservation Data

Like you did during Carson's last visit, apply your bush whacking skills to help them collect Conservation Data on these unique animals for the limited time they're here. To gather data, you just have to give them a whack with your sword or other whacking implement. With said data, Carson Tiva can use it to try and help what's left of these unique animals.

Which species you encounter in the fields will be random, so if you fall behind in finding one of the three animals, you can start one of Carson Tiva's pursuit quests. You can do one pursuit quest every 20 hours.

Earn Rewards

Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Carson Tiva will trade you for this data in their store, plus you'll earn a unique plaque for your contributions! Like event ribbons, this plaque will increase your maximum energy based on your performance.

Collect data, complete the achievements, and earn rewards!

In addition to a new set of species, Bush Buck Bundle, and energy boosting plaque, you can earn a new Roc Nest ranch item reward!

Limited Time Only

Go to the event area of the Commons to get started, and gather as much data as you can before noon on Tuesday May 2nd, PDT!

April 17th
Celebrate Bush Whacker 2's 11th Anniversary! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

As some of you may know, April 18th marks the day BW2 was first released.

Like the 9th anniversary, you can join a small developer celebration in the Commons where the Theater currently stands. You'll be able to get cake, buy items from past anniversary celebrations from Nick, and complete Georgia's quest to get 6 new developer gnomes.

The celebration will start at noon Pacific on Monday April 17th and end at noon (PDT) on Wednesday April 19th. Don't miss out!

Lastly, we'd like to thank you for being such an amazing community.

Help make the eggs with the three turn-in stations! With all the Unpainted Eggs, Dye and Wax, we can make some pretty egg designs!

Bilby Protector

If you haven't hatched a Bunnegg or freed it into Air Bun in previous years, then the Bunnegg Saga continues! Otherwise, you've completed this quest chain for the Easter event.

World Wide Egg Hunt

FAQ

How do I participate in the Easter Egg Hunt?
Talk to the NPC under the Easter Egg Hunt banner to be teleported to the hunting zone.

What do I do in the Easter Egg Hunt zone?
Click on all the crates, barrels, rocks and bushes trying to find as many eggs as you can. There are only 20 eggs hidden in all the doodads.

How do I get a perfect score in the Easter Egg Hunt?
You need to collect all 20 eggs - basically not letting any of the other hunters find any.

I’m too slow at the Hunt. How can I be better?
The NPC with the wizard hat in the event area of the Commons sells boosts for Easter Tokens. Speed up your character and distract the other hunters with his wares. Also, travel in a circle, starting in the area closest to where everyone else is being distracted. And don't click on the searchable items themselves, click beside them. Clicking on the item causes you to walk slower.

When will the last quest unlock?
All quests will be unlocked by the 10th day of the event.

What contributes to my 100% progress?
Turning in the Unpainted Eggs, the Dye and the Wax as well as completing the Easter Egg Hunt and the quests for the folks in the event area.

Why do I want to ask friends for help?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.

Do I have to do the achievements?
No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

Where can I see the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

When can I do the World Wide Easter Egg Hunt?
The World Wide Easter Egg Hunt starts on the second Friday of the event - April 14th - and lasts for the rest of the event.

Where do I find World Wide Easter Egg Hunt Eggs?
Once the hunt has started, you can find eggs by clicking them in many of the zones in the world. Eggs are hidden behind rocks and trees and in tricky to access locations in normal zones, secret areas, and adventure zones all over the world. Not every area has an egg hidden in it. There are 90 eggs hidden throughout the world in total, but you'll need to be done most of the content in the game to find them all.

BW2: Creature Collector - Calf Pets! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Coppers of the Creature Collector

The eccentric Creature Collector has returned to the Commons, this time with a trio of calf pets!



Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday April 5th to complete the collector's four daily quests, level up your chosen creature, earn Creature Coppers to spend in their store, and get another page to your Creature Collector's Compendium!

The Compendium Page will be given after the event ends. If you don't have the Creature Collector's Compendium ranch item, you'll get it when you get your first page.

After the event, the collector will be taking their creature back unless you adopt it by purchasing its corresponding mount pack, available starting Monday April 3rd.

Train hard, Bush Whackers!

The training quests unlock at noon on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Those busy on the weekends can still catch up!

Notes
- The VIP "Quest Reset" power does not reset these mini event quests, and they are not affected by the Time Turner and Timey Whimey Watch.
- These three pets earn double the experience compared to other pets for the duration of this mini-event!

Ye Olde Creature Collector's Galleria - Pets

When you speak to Tanela Tiva in the event area, you can select the "What past pets are for sale?" chat option.

This will open a new store, which will contain 3 non-event premium pets you have never owned! They cost Bush Bucks, like in event stores. The selection will change next time Tanela Tiva visits to event area.

We've done this in response to players asking to see old premium pets they've missed out on, to help you fill out your pet collection. Snag those old-school pets you're missing out on!
