its setting up the building levels that takes the longest amount of gameplay needed. the 8.4Q takes several hours to gather once you have the building and mangers set at the correct levels but you dont have to be playing while that happens. But your question is fair, this event , which I personally enjoy over other brainless clicking events, does take gametime to do it correctly. Thats why I do the slow method, where you can take 3-4 days per town.

I know how St patrick works - am not new to this game - 10 cities in 21 days - and you have to collect 8,4 Q 8-9 times to enter a new citi - not gonna happen, when you are away from the game 10-12 hours a day due to work - and then some hours for some sleep - not many hours left for the game.

Im not doing fast pace so keep jumping to conclusions. how'd you come to the conclusion Im doing fast pace when its been 3 days and I got the fragments on the FIRST city.

lol why you so mad.... re-read it. other players understood the meaning.
well first, my response was not about what method or anything about what you did lol. it simply about the chance of getting the 5-Frag reward in the chest after completing any city
once you realize not everything is about you and the fact that not one word was about or towards you, you will be a happier person in real life too. for the record, yes this last statement was about you

you asked the question, you got an answer... this is how asking questions work . if you aren't new than you know how it works, so than why ask your full time job question? so ignore the 4 city method...was just trying help you....but you know it all, thats why you asked your question about right
Careful timing. You need a bit over 1 continuous hour (say 1.5 to be safe) to get a new city to all buildings unlocked and some levels on fireworks (say 200/200 festival & shipyard + level 10-15 fireworks). I'm presuming you can get that in the evening say.
Then the next morning before work you move to 250/250/30 with probably room to spare (it only really took a couple more hours to make enough shamrocks to do that, so you might even be able to get it part way done before sleep.
The next evening you move to something like 300/280/35. (this is when things have started getting really slow).
The next morning you move to 300/300/50. And in the evening you should have 8.4Q done and ready to repeat the ordeal again. Done in 2 days.

Despite the dire implications of this event, at least we will have a suspenseful ending. Waiting for the golden fragments to appear. I haven't seen any yet.

"assuming 1/3"
but what are the results if the chance to get golden fragments only with 20% or 25% ?
Here's a table for 20%:
Towns/Fragments | 1 or More | 2 or More | 3 or More |
1 | 20.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% |
2 | 36.00% | 4.00% | 0.00% |
3 | 48.80% | 10.40% | 0.80% |
4 | 59.04% | 18.08% | 2.72% |
5 | 67.23% | 26.27% | 5.79% |
6 | 73.79% | 34.46% | 9.89% |
7 | 79.03% | 42.33% | 14.80% |
8 | 83.22% | 49.67% | 20.31% |
9 | 86.58% | 56.38% | 26.18% |
10 | 89.26% | 62.42% | 32.22% |
11 | 91.41% | 67.79% | 38.26% |
12 | 93.13% | 72.51% | 44.17% |
13 | 94.50% | 76.64% | 49.83% |
14 | 95.60% | 80.21% | 55.19% |
15 | 96.48% | 83.29% | 60.20% |
16 | 97.19% | 85.93% | 64.82% |
17 | 97.75% | 88.18% | 69.04% |

The 8.4Q balancing was perfectly fine ... until the introduction of the golden kit.
Lowering the finish cost would make things a bit better, but the difference between 4-5 and 8.4 isn't that big.
If they truly wanted to promote flexibility, I think the very best thing would be to remove the golden kit, but beyond that it would be to make the after town fragments a fixed option, similar to druid temple last year. That way you could go for 4-5 cities, picking it up 3+ times, or you could do 10-12 towns, opening a few chests each time hoping to get it cheap. Or anything in between.

You're getting very close to slaughtering your cash cow with this balancing.
The one strategy that gives the player a chance to get the full main building is not doable for the average player, and even for many experienced players, it's much too time consuming. With the current balancing, I'll take a break on this one (and possibly on the game, if you really go pay2win with coming events).
I'm not opposed to spending money on the game, and have done so, but only for something extra (2nd building and so on). Not just to avoid ending up with a second rate event building. Call it whatever you want (premium, magic, vip, we-want-you-money-level, ...) - the final level of the building is part of what players expect for finishing the event using a doable strategy.

the real game changer would be to increase the ships and festivals multiplier for the level 250 by factor of 2 - that way, it would not take ages to level ship/festival to 300 - taking that time down from 16 to 8 hours would help much more
Alternatively just decrease the exponential growth factor for ship/festival a notch...

There 20 pots of gold as a Grand Prize.. incidents pay 20, 100, 200 so far.. seems like a "less than" Grand prize...
Now that it is clear that lvl 10 may be achieved even without cash, I feel that it is OK or even appropriate that lvl 10 is so much better than lvl9.
For lvl 9 only 125 tasks are needed (three and a half towns, 3 sets of chests)
Lvl 10 on the other hand requires:
- very much effort (600 tasks - 18 towns) for the 15 fragments from grand prizes
- much effort (300 tasks - 10 towns) and some luck for 5 frags from grand prizes and 10 from chests
- still quite some effort (275 tasks) and cash for the event pass to get the full kit
So effectively, buying the event pass does not even give you an easy lvl 10 - the Golden kit should be (among) the first event pass prize(s) I feel.

This is a math-centric event, very immersive if you let it be so. It can get very detailed, and there are no shortages of quality datapoints from many of the reputable members of this beta (and live player) community. This is a multi-path solution. Personally, I've played mostly to this specific design in past years.
I don't know how much "recipe" granularity you're looking for, but start here and then see what you're missing from success:
