Burns' Casino: Crafting

Questions!!

1) What is the purpose of the "Quantity: X/X" for each item? Do i really have to craft them in order to progress?

The next description "First Y award Z Club Card Points on placement", this Y value is always greater than X.

What does this mean? The first X number of a particular craftable contributes to leveling up the casino, while the first Y number contributes to CCP?


2) Can i level up the casino using the 2 Upgrade Tiers alone? It makes logical sense, one Tier for each level.


As with most events, the game sometimes forces me to craft items which i struggle to appreciate. And i can't sell them, so they end up in my inventory. I prefer the freedom to make my own choices what to craft. I'm afraid a Daily Challenge would require me to craft an item i do not need. (I haven't searched for the list of Casino Daily Challenges)

Thank you :oops:

1: its the amount of stuff you can craft fir level one. as you level up, you can craft more of said item, the Y stands for the amount of items that will generate player points (Z), which are needed for further crafting supplies and a tower with skins. you can check that out at the casino kiosk which you get after buying a premium item, craft something, or win a prize
2: each upgrade only gives you 1 tile at the level up bar. you have to buy them 10 times to reach level 2, so that may take some time

This looks quite tough. If I count all my resources including what I've spent on crafting I could upgrade just for 1 Tier so far! http://www.en.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/fool/obm.gif

It just remembered to me the Christmas Presents shortage during Winter Event. Hope it will be easier to collect them further.

What benefits you get from the levels in the crafting menu ?
How do upgrade these levels ?

If the only benefit from upgrading of crafting is unlocking other items, and quantities for existing items, then it looks like the best crafting strategy might be:

1. first craft everything that is available at the moment (for player points, which are unlocking useful things)
2. then upgrade to next level
3. repeat the whole cycle for next level

OK thanks for this! It makes more sense now. I wasn't clear on how the level ups worked. As I understand it now, you can only level up by spending your resources on the level up thingies, NOT by crafting (although crafting will give you players club points and fun decos).

If I have that wrong anyone, feel free to straighten me out! :mrgreen:

No problem, just take note that this strategy is based on assumption that there is no other benefit of upgrading, and I am not 100% sure if this is true. If there is some hidden benefit, such as more frequent material drops from casino players, this strategy should be revised.

Even in that case you can't be too much wrong with this strategy: at this point, less than 40 hours from start, I am only 9 keys away from crafting my final item at level 1, and after that, all my crafting materials will be dedicated to upgrading of crafting.

maybe i'm stupid (this is almost definite) but are there any ways to get crafting supplys other that the random drops and the occasional bits from moes slot machine? seems like I ain't getting so much of anything really & figure this might be a hard slog for me

relax, event lasts for 33 more days.

To answer your question, third way to obtain materials are rewards for "Players Club", some of the milestones are rewarding materials, e.g. my next milestone will give me 20 keys.

Fourth way are daily task rewards, if they are casino related, they may award you with materials (just this morning I received 15 cocktails which are still not available via random drops and slot machine)

Are "buying" the upgrades the only way to level up or do you also progress to level 2 by crafting level 1 items? Been holding off on crafting until I figure this out.

"Buying" the upgrades is the only way. I crafted almost everything available at level 1 so far, and it contributed nothing to level 2 progress.
