According to the Wiki, there's no increase in payout after level 7 until level 10, and the increase is very small. Also, only criminals and saints have jobs added after 7, and there just aren't very many of them. I think it would be tough to make back the materials spent upgrading after 7.

BTW, I say this as someone who upgraded Monsarno to level 28: as a rule, I'm not afraid of upgrading!

I agree with Level 7. I dont see how you can earn the DNA/Masks back by the little payout increase. Saying this, my Monsarno is level 15 and herbicide 13 (I may go to herbicide 15 though - maybe :!: ).

The problem with the upgrades is that it mostly just unlocks groups of characters, not new characters. Payout increase is negletible (even if it sound good in %, it is still just 1 or 2 more of each). So you would find several different tasks for one character, but still none for Marge or Luigi, blue haired lawyer, Mindy just to name a few...

in the theater/mask case, it seems to have unlocked a couple new ones so far... Luigi and Arti Ziff now have tasks with the entrepreneur group to 'sell seat cushions', so at least they can be useful now.

I'm getting tempted to go for Level 9 instead of settling for 7.

3,000 masks is expensive, but with so many days left still to grind, I fear I'll regret leaving the criminals tasks on the table. It's such a waste to have them earn worthless corn.

Its going fast, now level 9 allready so 9000 will be no problem I think, remember I have from tomorrow lots of time to chech each hour for a couple of days so only upgrade to 9 if you can be more online the next days. 8)

Another reason to upgrade to level 9 is the red box tasks. It will be nice to have an extra 1 and 2 hour task to get more musical notes.

I'm starting to change my mind. I just don't want any characters earning corn I'll never use, so I'll probably go to level 8. Don't think it'll make any real difference, and I see little reason to go to 9 since there are so few saints that don't already have tasks earning theatre masks. However, I just don't want any more corn!

Well I have some saints who had NO JOB like father Sean, Ms. Lovejoy ...]

I was going to stop at level 8 I'm on 7 now, but I'll carry on to 9 if we get the red box back. It makes sense.

I calculate diff.

Example:

In 3h I go to work for 8h ( no chance to tab in those 8h)

If I am lvl 7, I get them to work 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h .. and after work I get those payout
If I am lvl 9, I get them to work those 3h I m still at home (some 2h, or 1h) and before I go away back to 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h...

It gives me a profit of 3x 1h + the long task

:wink: .]

It seems to me that if you play constantly, you should probably upgrade to at least level 9. If you don't play as often (or don't want to feel obligated to play constantly), level 7 is good enough. Frankly, I've been doing so much tapping since this event began that I'm inclined to stop at level 7 and leave out the seven or so characters I'd be able to add to mask collecting were I to upgrade to 9. As long as I can win the Simpsons houseboat, that's good enough for me.

was wondering where the 1h task was (after they took away our "work the land" task!)
as a frequent player, looks like I'll be going to 9.
