Currently I'm at 50/100 in Level 4 of the Yard and have 140 Obols in the bank. I'm waiting until I have 300 Obols so I can level up and get the Catacombs at the same time. I know the amount of obols for later prizes has been increased, but that doesn't help now.I have about 15,000 film so I don't feel behind on the film front. But why do I feel behind on Obols? Do things Get Better?!

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.

the main thing about these coins isn't what country they're from but that they were placed in the mouths of the dead. To help in the afterlife is usually the reason for coins on eyes and in mouths, to pay their passage into the underworld. Non-Sexual.

The dead would use the obol under their tongue to pay Charon (Kha-ron). Charon is the ferryman who boated the dead across the rivers Styx and Acheron in Hades.
