Quests

As you progress in Country Story, you will be given quests by some of the characters in the game. You will receive quests as you ‘level up’, and upon completion of the quests will be given rewards ranging from animals and livestock, food and fertilizers.

When you click on the quest icon, you will get this screen

this lists all the quests you currently have open, and can attempt to complete.

Clicking on each individual quest will give you a summary of the quest, including the requirements you need to meet to complete it and the rewards you will gain upon completion.

Quest will ask you a number of different activities to do, some will require you to help your friends out by watering their crops, other may ask you steal from friends.

However, the majority of the quests given in the game will ask you to collect a number of crops or materials. It’s important to note that once you have completed these quest the items are taken away from your storage. They are not kept for the player to resell.

You don’t have to complete the quests as you receive them. You can complete them in your own time, whenever you choose to do so.

However, some quest require the completion of others in order to be opened

Decorating your character and your farm

These two features allow you to make your farm and your character more personal. You can change the style of your character, and also decorate your farm by visiting the decorations store.
It’s possible to change the scenic view/backdrop of your farm with these options.

Hand/Information

Clicking on this icon and hovering over your crops or livestock will bring up these images.

Crops
This tells us type of crops we are growing at the top and how long the crop has left to grow before we can harvest it.

In the centre is the icon that tells us how moist the crops are, and whether or not they need watering this one is normal and therefore doesn’t need to be watered.

Livestock

This tells us the mood of the animal we are raising, and how it is getting on. Things that affect the mood are ‘petting‘ the animal and feeding.

The timer at the bottom shows us how long is left before the animal is mature enough to be able to give us produce, such as eggs, wool and milk.

This icon will work on our friends livestock, but not on their crops.

Plow/Hoe Tool

Before you can do anything in Country Story, you need to plow some land in order to start yourself off growing crops. This is what the Plow icon is used for. Once land is plowed seeds can be dropped onto the soil.

This is what the land looks like after ploughing on the spot in which you would like to grow crops. This land is now ready to drop seeds onto.

Once crops have been harvested, you will be left with this, it needs to be plowed again in order to plant more seeds.

The number of plots you are allowed to plow and plant seeds on increases as you increase levels.

Watering Can

The watering can is used to water your own crops and those of your friends that you spot a little ‘dry’ when visiting.

You need to fill your watering can up at the well once it’s empty.

Here we can see there are several different levels of dryness to the ground.
This is because the land hasn’t been watered.
- the dark ones are moist
- the very light ones are dry
- the middle shade is in between

This images shows crops in various states.

The darker coloured ones will need to be watered once in order to become ‘normal’.

The lighter ones will need to ne waterd twice in order to become ‘normal’. Watering these just once will make them the same as the darker ones in this image.

1 Green Point will be given each time you water a crop that isn’t ‘normal’. You will get a point for each time you water a crop, if it needs two lots, you will get 2 points.

From looking at these images you should be able to see that there are four stages to the drying up of crops. You need to water your own crops and can also help out fellow farmers by watering their crops when necessary.

You won’t gain any green points for watering dry land without any plants or for watering crops that are already fully grown!

Crop Tray/Harvesting

Clicking on crop tray icon allows us to harvest the crops we have grown. Once they are ready, we can then collect them. The character will pick up the fruits/vegetables, and above the head will be the number we have added to our inventory. These can be found by visiting the storage shed. They can be gifted or sold to earn coins.

Once the crops are collected, the ground below is ready to be plowed again.
