I'm going to hold on to mine. I'll trade in on the lowest tier option to get the daily prize, but otherwise just rack up hats and axes.No bonuts = no reason to spend them right now.

My plan is to trade in only for daily prizes, and only use the small trade-ins. That will leave the most resources available for the next act. I don't think there's any point to getting extra clues since there are no bonuts for extra clues.Edit: Or, yeah, what they he said! :lol:

Just getting daily prize.

It's SPECULATED that crafting the daily prizes will be possible during the last week. So having as many saved up as possible can't hurt. And there are no bonuts this time, so it's not worth spending them on anything other than to meet the daily prize requirements.

You've now got 5 days of trade-ins that you're already going to make in order to get each daily prize, which won't ALSO count toward the prizes for finishing the Act (like they would have if you'd just waited). Congratulations for getting the Rib Hut early! I'm sure it is totally worth it.To each, his/her own.I'm confused...so we shouldn't play the game at our normal pace because EA gives us more time than necessary? I don't recall anyone saying they spent donuts to finish as fast as possible, so what exactly do you mean?

While I don't have the ribshack yet, I have switched to only trading in the smallest amount of axes/hats to get the daily prize. I'm close enough that I know between that and bandits, I'll get plenty of clues to get the ribshack. This way I save even more hats/axes heading into act 2

just got wes doobners world famous rib huts and now wondering what others think about trading in hats and pick axes. know that hats and pick axes will most likely be useful in act 2 and possibly beyond but is there any benefit to trading resourses into clues besides the remaining daily chalenges? should i begin to hoard for act 2?

thanks for all the input, very helpful!

then there's this "Earn more clues: 1500" business that kicks in after Doobner. What? There's no donut bonus attached to it from the looks of things. So what happens when you get to this 1500? I guess I have no choice but to eventually find out, yet I'm in the habit of asking things on here.

I actually came here because I just reached that goal and got NOTHING. So wanted to see if it's the same for everyone else. Btw that 1500 task is now gone, too. I guess they realises that the casino event was too much of a bonut party.

i was surprised that we didnt get anything for the 1500 task and the task line didnt continue after that. we've had it pretty good with the free donuts for a long time so im definitely not complaining, we've had a good run

@becker:
Makes sense but I don't like waiting and what's done is done, in my case.
@fastshadows:
I just checked wiki and the main prize line currency WILL change from act to act. I hadn't checked before and hoped the currency would be clues for the whole event.
Knowing what I know now, I'll just trade in the minimum number of hats and picks to earn the daily prizes. I'll hoard the rest to be used in the upcoming acts. It looks like the picks and hats will be needed for the other acts.

You asked about strategy. That's my strategy going forward.

I can't speak for anyone else but I wasn't TRYING to finish early, it just happened. I'm not bragging about it or rubbing it in anyone's face, it's just a fact. And yes, I was hoping for bonuts, weren't we all? and what's wrong with getting done early to receive free donuts?????

All I have to say to griper is; blah blah blah

I went ahead and finished act one prizes. I rather finished all the tasks before act two starts.

I am fully convinced EA is punishing all of us because of the ever-increasing use of the portmanteau "bonuts" on these forums. It's awful and it must be stopped. Think of the children.

I have a feeling we may lose our hats and axes going into act 2. Does everyone think they'll carry over? What happened during the monorail event? I wasn't far enough along at the time to carry anything over.

Hats and axes will carryover. I'm expecting a new currency to be added in the mix with each new act, just like what happened during the monorail event.

+1
From what I understand, this is how it will work.
