It also depends on when the event ends (when is crafting over, when do mutant bobs stop appearing, when does the ability to send ppl on crafting tasks end?, fwiw LPN says cecil tasks last until June 4th but the music note prizes go away in 11-12 days,why is this event so complex?

(I did some best case scenario calculations and my town with 4 kooks, 5celebs,16 kids earns 1374 masks per day and 500 more per day once 10 entrepreneurs are added (I'm treating Apu like an entrepreneur even though hes currently just a kooks) (the lvl 6 upgrade is definitely worth it, I want the opera seats so lvl 7 is an easy yes.

I think lvl 8 is recoupable in 6 days if you are logging in 7-8 times a day I just don't think that's sustainable for me.

Level 9 is premium heavy (ie Father Sean, Maude) & Rod and Todd have a 6 hour maak job (& would encourage even more frequent tapping which I dislike)

ymmv of course but I wouldn't want to upgrade if I wasn't going to recoup the cost on a login schedule I like (and ea could change something else midact likr they slashed the spawn rate in act 2 making herbicide calculations less useful

Oh dear...this is going to be complex and mind-boggling. Lots to think about and plan for...
I have all the characters (including premium) and want to get to level 7.
Beyond that, I don't know if I should upgrade past that. I do have the characters for level 9, but if they have only 2 hour tasks or 1 hour tasks - I cant login hourly. Maybe ill see how much time is left once I get to level 7.

I want both the cactus patch and the houseboat. That's all the remaining prizes I want except for the personal prizes which im going to get anyways through music notes (which of course are completely separate from opera masks etc)

I basically looked at the character task groups and wrote down all the characters I had who were Kooks, Celebrities, Youngsters, Entrepreneurs, Criminals and Saints (some crossover btn groups Apu is a Kooks and an Entrepreneur, Todd and Rod are Youngsters who are saints).

I know that I would prefer a 4 hour login cycle (with one added visit at 6 hours from when I start) but that if I have the chance to log in more frequently I'll be tempted (which leads to logging in every two hours, which will frustrate me if I can only get 5 extra walls with all that effort).

and actually, I don't want to recommend anything because lower level players with fewer characters might need the upgrade to lvl 8 and lvl 9. basically I'm working on lvl 6 right now and I'll see how I feel after lvl 7 (I don't know if the upgrade changed drop rates)
