To those who have 1k+ xp%, when grinding for donuts, how many donuts did generate first before buying Mr Burns Mystery boxes. I’m planning to blow off the next few events and grind my 535% to over 1000%. Just wondering if there was an optimal amount of donuts to have on hand prior to BMB purchase.

  • Thats a tough question to answer. I know I spent my donuts as I got them/bought them over the years. I never really had any "reserve" till I hit around 2k%

    Im currently sitting at 3000.01% with no intention of going any higher. Ive got around 800% in storage that I just dont see the need to put out. Ive been trying to buy higher % items (ex whale @ 7%) to replace multiple smaller % items (ex flags @ 0.25%ea, so 1 whale = 28 flags) I'm doing this to reduce my item count before it becomes a problem.
  • If your going to be doing BMB. Every time you get donuts, put it right into the mystery boxes. Every % you add makes the next batch of donuts slightly higher.

    I like to save up 800 donuts for MB to get about 100% I got the idea from @simpsonare Actually, last time I only got 96% for the 800. For my second town that's at 550% I spend 100 donuts at a time on MB.

    This is correct. Usually around 800 donuts in a mystery box will get you around 100% I can spend 800 donuts now with before and after pics if you like. I'm to where I do not need to build my multiplier anymore. But any extra is extra dough. So I can give it a trial run for you. Mystery boxes are about the best value you can get with having about 10% every 100 donuts. Also... This does not include donuts gained in mystery boxes. You need to deplete 100 / 800 of your own donuts to accomplish these percentages. They will run you close to the stated.

  • My toll. This is 105%
    I accidently spent 30-40 donuts on the tree hammock but I kept itin the 800 donuts spent area.
  • This is exactly what I was looking for. You guys are the best. Essentially I’m going to go by the snowball effect. Start small, 100 donuts at a time while leaving 25 in reserve for recharges. Then slowly increase spending as my % increases. I’m going to ignore all events (maybe not Xmas) until I achieve donutancial independence
