Quick start - Phase 2

My strategy to a fast start in phase 2

- Dont tap mutants 8h before timer reset. (To have a Maxout of mutants in your town)

1. You max out on mutant corn in 6 hours and 20 minutes.

2. I'm not so sure about that. We're changing invaders. I suspect that when the update hits (I'm assuming it's a download) that all the mutant corn will disappear. Highlight for spoiler: The first task is to tap 5 of the next mutant plant. When the mutant corn was first released in Act 1 you also had to tap 5, and they immediately dropped them.

I could be wrong, but in any case...

The mutant corn pays out randomly and you don't always get spades. You never know what you're gonna get. You get fertilizer, corn, or spades in some combination, but you don't always get spades.

I keep getting corn. Lots and lots of corn. I have corn running out my ears. I have enough corn to craft the Cane Field, Sani-John Smokehouse, and Farmers Market - if I had enough fertilizer to go with it. It's looking like (for me at least) that Corn is to this event as red telephones were to the Superheroes event...

- Today (Now) start spreading the characters with the same tasks, (Certainly the one with the longest time (16h) )

Meh. The payout for the 16 hour task is corn. Like I need more... I only set characters on that if they can't get fertilizer.

- Wait to craft anything (keep your corn, fertilizer... to level up the building to unlock more characters)

This I agree with 1000 percent. Another spoiler: And it's not just Marnsarno that will need upgrading...

- Don't tap the "spade" from your building 8h before timer

Or time it so that it comes out soon after.

- Wait to clear Cecil's task to get the payout (twice with glitch :wink: ) till after the timer reset.

Unless you're farming for donuts. Donuts are worth a lot more in the long run than yet another extra building (telephone booths anyone?)

I currently need only 425 spades for another chance at donuts in my #2 town. And I might just make it to another set in my #1 town as well.

And you forgot: Don't do your neighbor visits until after the changeover. (direwolf987 remembered though...)

As you may know, you are going to need that corn later to craft and to do upgrades to the things you alluded to.

The 16hr tasks spread out is not just for the corn, but more for the attempt to get a faster done task on the red box task. If you don't assign those at all then if your red box task is that one, then it will be 16 hrs until you finish. If you are lucky then it will be a very short time even if that is the assigned task. Properly spaced, you can get lucky and finish a number of red box tasks in just a few minutes! Brick pointed this out in another thread.

Cheers!

I shall just carry on playing as normal. I do my neighbours in the evening so don't want to miss out on up the three free donuts today! As for the other stuff who knows what we might get. The update comes at 9am our time and I have to be out the house at 9.15 so won't have time till later to do anything anyway.

Amen!

Finally someone understands! :lol:


red box tasks For me the only thing I whant (spades or other thing in phase two) BECAUSE all characters are in those prizesset. :P


I hade over the 35000 SPADES so my stradegy worked fine for me :wink:

To miss a couple of Fertilizer or corn I dont care, just wanna have all characters and the Simpsons boat. (boat I will craft AFTER all lvl updates) :wink:

20000 Fertilizer
9000 Corn

Another forum had an excellent idea: Keep Homer and Lisa free for tomorrow.

We can store all other characters but them and they are very likely needed for act 2 quests.

Homer starts and then after something you need to do, Lisa has jobs so good idea.

Yes, Here on forum in the walktrough sticky that LP made, you can read that to so it was obivous to me not to mention. :mrgreen:

The corn will be gone, so there is no point in banking it?
