Candy Shop Boosts Guide

The Candy Shop rings with it some new items to craft, one craftable crate and four brand new boosts with some awesome actions...

Each item is unlocked as we work through the various Candy Shop missions (all details HERE).

They're all crafted from inside the Candy Shop using one item that will drop from your homestead and one or two items from either type of Request.

So get your dentist on Speed Dial, and let's dig in!

Candy Shop Building Guide

Melted chocolate, drizzling caramel, fancy spun sugar decorations... It's time to get a little sweet and build us a Candy Store!

The Store is a four step build with al the usual things we've come to know, requests, homestead drops and crafting. However, there are just two craftable items used across the build, one in stage 2, one in stage 3 then both repeated in stage 4. That does mean less requesting in total and we can keep going and getting stuff in advance while other things are waiting.

There's also repeats of drop items, so again we can stock up on more than we need.

So, what are we going to need? Sit back, strap in and scoff some sweeties...

Partnering Totals

A full guide of what needs what, how much it needs and where it comes from, thanks to Frontierville Express member Linda Jackson!


Getting the necessary weight

All items are time specific, the quicker you do it, the better it is. Because of that it's suggested to use the "sacrificial animal" method.

This is to place a "sacrificial" item of the type you want to make on your homestead. Use that item to request the Wall Post needed but DO NOT CRAFT.

Then, once you have enough, place a BRAND NEW item of the type you need to grow, craft all the amount you need and feed instantly, all 15/17/21/32/34 feeds as quickly as possible.


This usually results in a winning item.


Notes: Don't forget the Caretaker Boost will do THREE tends of any partner animal and, if you don't like the outcome, the Dream Boost will change it to one of the other variations for that style.

Runt's Rescuer Boost (only available as a reward for completion of the mission Rescue Runts) can be used to fully complete any one partner animal. Choose wisely as it is a ONE OFF reward.
