What are the "must buy" Premium items.

For me, Hank Scorpio was a must have...but he's my favorite non recurring character from perhaps my favorite episode.
Perhaps someone who helps with the Railyard or the Heights is a better option.
I'm sure others will be by with their faves and opinions soon.

Springfield Pet shop - gives several characters 4 and 8 hour tasks that don't have them (Mr. Teeny, Stampy)
Yellow Submersible - pays out Squidport and Ornate Pier tiles
Witch Marge - Speeds up crops with a Premium task. Use it on Corn for an giant payout.
Anyone can farm to some extent. Get your multiplier up with Mystery Box items and the Beach Hideaways. Buy a bunch of houses to support the income. Buy bunches of KEMs. You don't HAVE to use the XP Collider to farm, it just makes it go faster. If you can bring in an extra 4 or 5 donuts a day that's still farming. Use them to buy Mystery Boxes and increase your multiplier - as your multiplier increases so will the number of donuts you get per day.

Did not know this and im a day one player.

Always kept the tennis skin on Marge as it pays premium for me.

I'll now keep witch Marge and get those 4 hours off the corn.

I haven't done the math, because it's math, but I use Witch Marge on Silvertongue, making the 8hr crop only 4 hours as that fits in with most events.

For some reason the "confirm donut spend" option was turned off. That cost me 150 donuts for some disc thing. ARG!

900 white picket fences. Just think of the awesome fencing you'll be able to do!

Mozart, and some other event characters (maybe skins) anything that isnt temporary will still be there (not on sale but still)

I saved my donuts for a while and have accumulated around 900 at this point.

While I'm saving 525 for the previous presidents I missed in the 4th of July MysteryBox (7x75 if the price is accurate) I would still have around 400 to spend.

I know there are some must haves like Duffman, Frink, Barney, CrazyCatLady, Springfield Sign and Gorge but I'm still not sure if I should wait for legacy characters like Brandine and such or not.

I don't have time to farm XP and get bonuts so I'm really picky on what to spend my donuts on, any suggestions?

Make good use of "The Vault" until September. There's a lot of good stuff in there and the rebates on all those items will stretch your donut cache so you can buy more stuff.

A complete list of items included in The Vault can be found here.

If you ask 50 users this question, you’ll get 50 different answers. In my judgment ther are no “must have” premium items. You’re better off forming your own opinion and getting whatever strikes your fancy.

It has a habit of turning off afyer updates. Always check after an update and make sure it is still set how you want it.

As for must buy premium items, I think that is different for everyone. We all have different tastes. One of my first premium purchases was Crazy Cat Lady, my favorite character. But she may not be to everyones tastes. Always buy what you like, or what you think your town needs. After all, its your town, you have to live with it.
