I've seen a lot of threads discussing high multipliers and providing encouragement to newer players, or players newly working on their multipliers now, but I had a question for those with already high multipliers:What do you do with such a high multiplier? The reason I ask is that I passed 1000%, which I feel puts me in the the "middle class" of multipliers, and I've been able to buy anything I want without issue. I have enough donuts to top that to 2500% but I don't really see the point anymore. In fact I'm thinking of retiring from KEM farming and just blowing it on Rat Trap trucks whenever my cash gets too high.If your multiplier is in the range of several thousand and earning hundreds of donuts daily, what are you doing with all you donuts? Boosting through events? Rushing tasks? Trying to buy everything (ie. completionism)? Or has it taken a life of its own - increasing the multiplier for the sake of having a high multiplier? Trying to amass as many donuts as possible as a personal goal?I'm not judging or anything, I've just bought everything I ever wanted and can afford anything new they throw at me... so I'm wondering what other people are planning to do with their donuts?

Multiplier as a means to having donuts, which affords the opportunity to have all the game content which interests me.

It's entirely up to personal preference. I stopped intentionally building up my multiplier at around 600%, which was probably around when the collider came out. It became so easy to fill the XP bar at that point, I felt no need to hoarde multiplier items. That's not to say I won't take advantage of things like the Knight Boat rebate, but it's mostly now about whether or not I want the item in my town.

At about 800% I felt it was enough to keep a positive donut/cash flow without too much effort. But I pushed to 1000% as a personal goal. I just don't see the reason to keep pushing at this point. And like you, I bought a few Knight Boats! Just looking at them makes me want to hum the theme music for Knight Rider!

You and I have pretty much the same plan, Im just a little behind you at 526% I also want to have a decent, steady income without much grinding, except for events when there a lot that I want, even then I would like to be able to get what I want with a minimum amount of grinding. I used to think 2000% woyld be the magic number to accomplish this, however the higher I go, the lower I set my sights. At 526% I can get pretty much what I want, it may take the whole event to do this but so what? As long as the outcome is the same I am not really worried about how long, as long as I can do what I want before the event ends. I dont need everything instantly.

Edit: I also agree its a matter of personal prefeance. If you need a multiplier of 10 or 10 million as long as youre happy with your game thats all that matters in my opinion. Just like in real life, you cant take it with you.

I think your questions are very valid @anaquarind .

Speaking for myself, I'm actually content at my current percentage. I'd like to round it up a bit more, but overall, I'm content. I have set personal goals for myself as a series of mini challenges (I consider it part of the overall game). I don't (and never have) KEM farmed but have instead relied exclusively on purchasing premium multipliers.

I keep a bank of donuts where the balance rises and falls depending on what I'm doing that particular day. For instance, the spy event isn't holding my interest so I've used donuts to advance through certain aspects of it. That, of course, causes my donut balance to decrease. When I'm not power advancing, I rat trap/bloodmobile farm to increase my donut balance. It's a decrease/replenish dance (and, admittedly, a tedious one at that).

My cash has a healthy balance "for me". I know others are in the billions but I'm just not sure that's a goal for me. I know I will reach it, because my cash steadily increases, but it's not something I'm focusing on.

So, to answer your question, no.. I'm not in an eager pursuit to increase my bonus percentage. I have everything I need or want right now.

@daved7637397 - I'm aiming for the same scenario @Jonalinn mentioned. I have admitted previously to getting a bit compulsive about raising my multiplier, but I'll probably settle as summer life takes over. I had aimed for 2k but I was having fun so I'm heading for somewhere in the 3k range.

What works for each person will of course be different, depending on preference and city design. Lower multiplier might work with a larger base income.

At the core of it, I was sick of not having the things I wanted, and through strategically managing my gameplay I've eliminated that.

I think we are pretty much on the same page, just different paragraphs, if you will. And I hear you about getting the things we want. I also got tired of paying so much real cash for them. Dont get me wrong, Im not one who thinks everything should be free, and I also have no problem supporting the game financially. Theres no such thing as a free luch after all. Its just nice to be able to "supplement" all that hard earned money spent with some in game earned donuts.

A while back I had a goal of 1000%. I've surpassed that. For me I'm happy with my number. Now I'm concerned about item count and wondering how much of a percentage loss I'm willing to take in order to lower item count if necessary. Lots of hidden tennis courts, wailing walls and giant fireplaces. Actually I have about 200% in inventory. I built up a nice supply of donuts between KEM farming and having purchased all the donut packages for the Shelbyville items. I've paused KEM and just enjoying the game. It's nice right now not having to "work" for donuts.
