How can I earn hearts quicker?

Ok thank you!

I am doing all the valentines quests available as well as the roses.
I guess I need to add more friends!

There are plenty of people who need friends (I'm not one of them) They can be found in the "Finding Friends" sub section on this forum. The farther your friend is in game the better chances you have of getting V-Day cards. So look for friends who are high levels or at least claim to play multiple times.

How to earn Hearts:

TASKS
*Ned = 30/day (3x 6hr task @10ea)
*Lisa & Milhouse = 30/day (1x 16hr task)
*Farm = 50/day (1x rose bush 24hr task)
TOTAL = 110/day

FRIENDS
- First 10 @5 hearts = 145/day
- 11-20 @4 hearts = 120/day
- 21-30 @3 hearts = 90/day
- 31-40 @2 hearts= 60/day
- 41-100 @1 hearts = 181/day
(Note: the "30th" collection, aka the last tap in friend #10's town, for each bracket actually only spits out the next level's hearts. Eg. Last tap of friend #10 only spits out 4 hearts, last tap of friend #20 only spits out 3 hearts, etc.)
TOTAL = 596/day

FRIENDS VISITING
Totally dependent on how active your friends are, and how often they visit you. Also dependent on how active you are, as each character can only get 1 Valentine each before you have to clear 'em (so 54 max at level 38 (no premium characters) without you clearing 'em).
Reasonable estimate is around 20-30 friends visiting a day (x3 actions each) if you keep clearing 'em.

ESTIMATE = 30x 3 actions x2 hearts each = 180/day


TOTAL PER DAY = 886 hearts (+bonuses from quest tasks), or 4 spins per day.

I get about 8-9 spins a day. 100 friends will get you 6 spins. About 600 hearts when you visit and 600 hearts when they visit.

I removed all my roads so that all my players are clumped in squidport.

When there's an event there are usually more. In my case all my friends are active.

100 friends will only get you max 596 hearts (see my calcs) = 3 spins. It's capped at 100 friends - even if you delete friends and add more, you can't do Valentines for them. The counter in the bottom-left corner shows as much too.

100 friends means you have to clear the Valentines on your characters before they can get another, so if you're freemium and have the current 54 free characters only, that's 5+ daily visits to clear them for your friends (assuming they fill up completely each time, and friends who miss out revisit later to try again). Even then, that's only 3 extra spins of the wheel.

So far you have 6 spins max (assuming 100% efficiency of above) - tasks (Ned, Lisa+Milhouse, Homer+Marge) and the Farm only yield around 150 hearts a day. Quests give bonuses, but people are mostly finishing that now.

Outside of quest-completion bonuses, it's impossible to get more than 7 spins a day... unless you blow 48 donuts (4x 12 donuts) for 4 rose bushes to get another spin.

As above - it's not a matter of them being active, it's a question of timing and whether there's free characters to tap when they visit (or if they revisit if there's none for them).

Like all these guys wrote, the key to any event is to have that max number of friends.
