I have done some calculations regarding the Act 3 quest line for the Battle of Springfield and Lord Montymort and how long it will take freemium players with no premium content. I have posted the figures in the strategy thread:https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/155394/event-thread-15-thoh-xxviii-q-a-and-strategy-thread-act-ii/p5It will take 14 days and 4 hours to complete part 3, if a player logs in 4 times a day, although the event will end after 14 days from the start of act 3. This assumes that EA leave things unchanged. Players could choose the following strategies:A - Logging in more than 4 times a day. Bear in mind you can rush for free the battles when there is less than 24 minutes remaining.B - Buying some premium content.C - Rushing with donuts part(s) of the quest line. for example, the 4 hour wait whilst he regains health costs 2 donuts to rush"tommy1724;c-1810689" wrote:So with no premium monsters, I knock two hearts per round. This meant I got monty down to one heart before my final battle. I sent one monster after him, which I immediately rushed for two donuts, then spent two more donuts to rush the rest. 4 donuts let me skip 8 hours...https://i.imgur.com/lK4Qf8tl.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/gKf7HQYm.jpg

I got Montymort as a character before I got Dracula. I still was working on the prize track.

My advice to freemium players and semi premium players and anyone else worried about meeting this grind of a target to get Monty. My advice is to rush the REST phase of when he is beaten and regaining health. It will cost just 2 donuts each time. Unless EA fix this (which is doubtful) that is the best option right now for anyone concerned there isn't enough time left. There is no way of knowing if EA will just give Monty to those that don't make it.

It was after reading Safi’s post on addicts that I started wondering if it was possible for freemium players. Safi’s post does not take into account the quests at the start of the act or sleep time, just the total time for the Battle of Springfield tasks.https://tstoaddicts.com/2017/11/01/thoh-xxviii-101-battle-for-springfield/#more-53293

I got Montymort this afternoon on my newest town without rushing anything with donuts, although I did have 2 premium characters and managed to fit in 5 tasks on 3 days. All other days I did 4 tasks a day. Even having one premium character makes a lot of difference in this event.

I'm only showing 1/3 and just started the monster battles so 15 hearts to go on that... Guess I shouldn't bother huh....

Spend donuts. Premium characters are bought for 120 donuts, any less than that spent rushing is good value.

I was considering, but I'm going to wait until closer to the event finish time...see how much further I get...

It should be possible to turn off automatic updates on your device and that would give you extra time beyond the end date to work on monty mort. You might get a late start the next mini event but those usualy are too easy.

I should get Montymort late this evening. I got Angelica Button as soon as she was available, but I still had to rush the rest periods.
I'm of the opinion that the original plan for this event was jumbled to make it harder in the 3rd act. I would have made more sense if you had 1 set of battles against Montymort in each act - Magic users + Beasts. I think that's why they gifted us all those 10 donuts - so we could rush a few tasks and get done before the timer ran out.

Heads up Freemium Peeps as we have all seen last few events this year (since Spy) a premium character bought specifically from the event was pretty much need to finish.

Save dem sprinkles!

Finished the Montymort battles on Thursday and finished up the event quest and character quest shortly after. No premium helpers besides wizard Martin and no rushing necessary.

I finished this as easily as the requirements of any other event but I never ran into any glitches or gameplay issues (like a lot of other people have) that would cause a delay.
