Here it is guys, the heart of this game. It is the most important factor and asset in your farm. Sooo, before I get into the strategy let's do a little math shall we? Before, the tool price was 225 and even reached 375 during inflation. But I'm using the current price and everything down below is based on 270 coins for each tool. We are going to count how much we spend on this behemoth storage.
PHew that's a lot! But a long ago I didn't have that much money, I did not even come close to it. So I tried to be as efficient as I could to spare some space in my barn & silo. I invented a system using every player as my storage. I call it the Banking system.
I sell all the products that I think is in abundance in the market, but not in a large stack. Because not many people can afford full stacks of items or can fit it in their storage. I also keep making these products myself since they mostly take a long time to make and it is a smart choice to produce before going to sleep. If I need them I'll just buy them again easily. Then I found out that in Hay Day the type of order is triggered by probability. And it seems that the items with a lower quantity have a higher probability than products with a bigger quantity. In the current system the high/highest amount-items also have a high probability to be triggered as an order. So what I do is setup my storage in a way that I think will trigger somewhat 'easy' orders to do.
No one has seen my storage and it's a bit of a messy setup in the picture. Atm I feel like I have enough space, I don't really go hunting for tools anymore but if I happen to find some, I'll grab it. If not, naaah is ok.
If you look at the top left window you can see several items with a low amount. That is the item I purposely keep low. If I have too much of them, I start dunking them into my shop. The items in the bottom, that I have a low amount off such as apple jam, bracelet, etc are things I really do need >.< At the same time I try to always keep a high amount of items like sugar, butter, etc. The blackberry juice is intended for selling. I sell rare stuff to my neighbors/followers if I have 40 or more. I do this because having a high amount of those means I'm not in a good position because I get a lot butter and sugar orders. Same as the silo, I always set it up so my lowest level item has the highest amount(well that coffee bean is high because I just harvested it). And at the same time I make it so that some other 'easy' to get crops I only have little of (in this case the cocoa is not intended to be low). This way I increase the chance of my chosen item to get picked by the order system.
The goal of the storage is not just aiming to get it larger but also on how you manage your items inside the storage to help you. In theory, with the current game system, if many people are saving up their rare items and do storage arrangement, we as a player can help to balance the game/market. More people will buy the abundance item since demand is increased and sell more of the uncommon item on the market. But of course this would require understanding of each other. Such as lowering the price of eggs and bacon&eggs. It's a long shot. But the point of this post is for everyone, no matter what level you are, if you're able to turn your disadvantages into advantages, to treat the game system as your ally instead of an obstacle and enjoy the game while you're doning a lot of effort, then you have reached the level of Avant-garde and mastered the game.
After hunting for orange vouchers, I finally got all 3 horses types on my farm. Using the same method, hiring Tom for 10 days. But this time I had difficulty finding orange vouchers even though I've been doing jewellery quests and metal quests non stop. After 3 days of using Tom, I finally got my first orange voucher from these quests.. I manage to get my pinto horse in 1 week because I still had 5 orange vouchers that I got before the update. So I only needed to find 4 more. Does this mean the developers changed the quest probability? Lowering the orange voucher quest to pop up? Too bad this time I can't recount the probability because my vouchers had already piled up from the previous time(click here for my voucher probability post). Everything mixed up already.
But I did notice a change in the jewellery quests. Instead of the usual 2 necklaces that is needed for a delivery, I found another necklace quest that need 3 of it instead. And it seems this 3 necklaces request has the highest chance to get orange vouchers. At least that's how I got the rest of orange vouchers for my palomino and pinto horse.
