Costs of Donuts for rushing craft items

Does crafting this way still use the craft items that you do have or just the donuts that it says the item now costs?

Thanks

    It still uses the items you've collected which is why the price gets lower as you get more crafting material.

    Not sure if it was discussed elsewhere, i just couldnt find it in the search:

    I just noticed that the price for rushing craft items "Get it now" is half the amount of your missing overall treats:

    Example:
    I am still missing the grand pumpkin. I have
    400/400 Gummy Bears,
    256/350 Chocolate Bars
    281/300 Pumpkins

    Means I am missing in total 113 treats. If I press "Get it now" I can purchase it for 57 Donuts - half of the missing treats

    For my (2nd) spooky house I have:
    151/330 Fences
    110/110 Gummy bears
    55/55 Chocolate Bars

    so I am missing in total 181 Fences. Pressing "Get it now" I can get it for 90 Donuts

    So in other words, two treats have the price of one donut, irrespective of the type of treat.

    Having this in mind it should make it a bit easier to decide which item to craft, which to save for and where to speed it up and pay with donuts for it.

    I will use this calculation to figure out which way it would cost me the least of donuts if I cant craft everything by the end of this event (and thats how it looks like right now).

    Strategic halloween crafting I guess :-o


    You can also factor the cost of buying the actual treats you need into it and see if that's cheaper too.
    If they put them up for sale again.

    Good point. It makes no sense to buy a bunch of something if you simply dont need that much or can get it cheaper another way.
