The slowness of collecting Obols

At the moment it's a very hard grind for Obols. I'm too collecting for catacombs, but only have 46 Obols.
As we progress I do believe it will improve for Obols. More kids will trick and treat for one thing.

Ok, ok...I couldn't wait and I used donuts to get the catacombs but can you blame me? I waited the whole year to play this event and excitement got the best of me.

dont read unless you want spoiler....


greater ability to generate obols in future acts...the obol packs in future acts give a decent chunk of obol (in fact it was increased in recent patch)

Not sure if this is a massive oversight on their part or just a new way of making us buy the most recent content - whichever, crafting is looking to be nearly impossible at this point. I went ahead and picked up the island solely for the MAG points and even with that I think I'm barely bringing in 50 or so obols a day.

We're going to need to stay vocal about this if we want to see a change.

Is there any particular way for me to earn film and obols faster?

I missed a whole day due to Amazon's incompetence releasing this update a whole day later for UK kindle users like me. I am also freemium btw.

I am at around 10,000, around 3000 odd behind the calendar score for today due to the day that I missed and I am can only log in 4 times a day max iif I am able to. According to the calendar I should have got the third prize for act 1, but I don't have that yet.

I am definitely finding it really slow to pick up obols. I think they should increase the drop rate of obols from monsters to say, 1 in 5?

I am also very frustrated with the obol earn rate, at 250 obols its gonna take days to earn enough to get the catacombs!

Can you buy the catacombs with donuts, I have the task to upgrade to level 5 and get the catacombs but I am already at 70/215 on level 5 and have the catacombs available to get, I have the option to spend 63 (I think) donuts to upgrade the level but I thought that only took you to the next level, i.e. Level 6, and unlock the next level prizes, would I automatically get the catacombs if I spend the donuts required??

Sorry, ignore my post above, just answered my own question! I have flu(well, a maybe a horrid cold), so my brain isn't working at full capacity!

Yeah, trick or treating will help, plus the prizes in Act 2 involve obals in the 100s.

I'm to collecting for catacombs only a 30 I think. It's going to be an incredibly slow grind for no at least
