Gas and Grub: Craft now or wait?

Personally, I dont see the point in waiting. As with all previous events, we have all been worried that we wont have enough time to craft/upgrade/get all prizes.

For most of us, we have been able to get everything with plenty of time to get some bonus doughnuts (I have already got 9 from this Act) without being on all day long.

I'm sure since we cant actually 'buy' these craftables with doughnuts, we will have no trouble getting them before the event ends.

That being said, there are loads of caraftables this time. We may not get them all but getting most shouldn't be an issue.

Just woke up and finally got to craft the g and g! Been waiting for it for so long that I hate that it takes 24 hrs to build :roll:

To craft or not to craft. That is the question. I've got the market and will have enough for the G&G tonight. It's going to be hard to resist!

You should go ahead and craft it, I think. There are still another couple days before Act 3 starts. So you'll have some more time to earn DNA. Plus you'll have to earn more of the other items before you can upgrade anyway. You only need a few hundred DNA each time for the first few upgrades, and 3500 total.

I crafted it. I looked up the act 3 items and this was still my top DNA choice. I might not end up with every item, but this has already been a very successful event for me - and I'll get everything I care about.

Anyone have any suggestions what level I should level the stage up to? Probably about 10, if I had to guess?

I've asked this question a couple times as well and, since I couldn't find an answer, upgraded to level 28. The improvement is marginal: at level 28, I get 6, 9, and 15 DNA for the 3, 6, and 12 hour tasks. I think level 20 will be optimal for most people. (I decided I can live without the Farmer's Market if it gave me a better chance at opera seats and flower walls.)

Thanks for the info. It sounds like hardly any improvement... but since I have already crafted the Farmer's Market and it's the only fertilizer based craftable I want, it's time to pour those remaining resources into level upgrades then.

When craft in phase 3, you get 100 music notes (I think) because it was a notebook task like the farmers market.

I wait :wink:

If you want it, craft it. Once I get enough DNA, that's my plan. That's what I did with the Farmer's Market and I don't regret it.

DNA is the hardest resource to get. In act 3 the Simpsons houseboat is released and it uses DNA. also to lvl the opera stage it uses DNA. I'm hoarding all my crafting stuff till act 3 (built the market and lvled the building squirter to 20/15)

I think waiting till the next act is wisest, so you can be sure you get the stuff you really want.
