Visiting neighbors question

Well you should know about the tile glitch by now but in case you don't, here's what you should do when you visit a neighbour:

1) tap tile (gives an average of at least 400 xp but depends on levels), tap any crops ready to be harvested in Cletus' farm, tap the channel 6 building and lastly tap the open air stage. The first thing you should be looking for in someone's town are those above, you should then move on to the ones listed below.

2) tap the buildings that take the longest to generate income, for example, don't tap the Simpson house if you can tap Springfield Penitentiary. This is because you reset the timer for the buildings so tapping the Simpson house resets it back to 45seconds (which is nothing really) but the penitentiary takes 24hours to generate income so it's better to tap that.

3) if you find that the neighbour has just cleared their buildings so you only have the Simpson house, Kwik E Mart, brown houses etc to tap, look to graffiti instead so when they clean it up, they improve their righteousness rating.

4) if you have a Krustyland and think that you want tickets instead, tap away but you only get about 3 tickets per tap so use it wisely.

The tile is about the only thing you as a visitor gain as it gives you xp and the rest, from what I've experienced, give about the same amount of money and xp regardless of what you tap but your visits are more beneficial to your neighbour if you do those listed above.

Good luck!
  • Wow, I've been playing this game for over a year and didn't know all this...sad. By tile tap, are you referring to broadwalk tiles?
  • Yes the boardwalk tile. If you want to get tiles faster all you have to do is purchase one, and don't collect the first handshake. You collect the second, the third etc. They will accumulate. The advantage of this, is you get lots of xp, your neighbors get also lots of xp, and you can have tiles without buying more.
  • You are right Anurchy ! If you are leaving a handshake, it should not be within the first tiles your buy because your xp will be very low.
  • I just recently learned that handshakes can stack on crops and the TV station as well as the Squidport tiles. So, I try to click those when I find them. (And I don't clear them in my own town if I can avoid it.) As long as you leave one handshake uncleared, more neighbors can keep clicking there and each click earns you the full money and XP (or tile), over and over!
  • All good info.

    the only thing I would add is that some tappers have the "2 tap max" and so might appear untappable. Current etiquette seems to be to tap a nearby building to show you checked :-)
