Complete or swap your event Daily Challenges

I switch over each act as soon as I get the final prize. Since they're charging us for horses, barrels and water troughs this time, I'd rather have potential donuts than event currency.

Donuts aren't guaranteed. I get challenges for money when swapping far more often than for donuts. Then there's Heights crafting supplies. I'm sitting on one for Furniture right now (yuk, yuk). Which means I can't craft any Heights stuff until I get it out of the way.

The best time to do swaps is just before the swap renewal time. For me that's 7 PM. So if I can remember to swap at about 6 PM it's less likely that I'll be stuck with something crappy like "Collect Income From Buildings" or "Complete Character Jobs" for cash.

FYI: f you start a challenge and the event ends before you collect, you get cash instead of event currency.
So I suppose rather than swap out a challenge, you could just do it but not collect until after the event ends.

I have been switching nearly every day during this event as I did not want event currency - on average it seems to be 1:4 chance of getting doughnuts...(which is better than nothing).

Roughly what I'm getting (pretty sure they've switched the numbers - I never got this many cash rewards before). But one to three bonuts (depending on the pay out of that one) is still way better than event currency.

I've been getting mostly donuts when I switch.

i love the feeling when the task earns 3 donuts :D great start to the day

Mine for today was to do 5 store trades. I got the 3 bonus donuts for the event challenge plus 6 more for completing this round of daily challenges. :D

Just as a point of interest, it looks like Daily Challenges were completely swapped out this time around. I had a Drop-prospectors-in-neighbour-towns for TNT, and it has completely changed to a Latte quest.
