What to buy with Obols?

Hi I have close to 2500 Obols and have collected all the Obol prizes including the Shipwreck. What should I buy now? Last year it was no question about buying Wailing walls as they had a payout and a bonus %.

What would you do if you had 2500 Obols to blow?
  • Trees, lamps, bats and fences is what i have been buying. Got everything else that you could buy with obols

    If you want a house farm get the spooky houses for 30 obols each. I have a 586% multiplier and it works out each house is $515 and 325xp (with x5 on). So say you just spent 990 obols (33 houses) in my situation it would be about $17000 and 10000xp every 4 hours (4 hours because that's how often events seem to make you log in). Look at your multiplier and cash and decide if you need a little farm to help boost it. You'll still have 1500 obols left, heck get 66 houses, you'll have 500 left plus a few days to build it up.
  • if you want a house farm then spooky cabins are better, i'd say...no point in taking up precious land on something that only pays out 75...i did this once and ended up replacing low-paying houses with the high-paying, those low paying are now in storage

    spooky house = check 5 times per day to get 375 (or only 300 if you check 4 times per day)
    spooky cabin = check only 2 times per day and get 400

    also with spooky cabin you are covered on days when you cannot log in so often
  • i'm building a spooky cabin farm. about 40 houses now, hope to double by end of event

    edit: cabin farm

    If space isn't an issue houses are better as you can buy 2 for every 1 cabin, so you get $150 every 3 hours for 60 obols
  • I'd buy decorations, but it totally depends on you. If you enjoy looking at a massive ugly house farm, go for it! ;)
  • Since the windmills from eons ago now have a multiplier I might get more of the higher priced decorations like haunted stables and ruins. They might become premium one day.

    You aren't alone on this one. I was thinking the same thing.
  • End of event is coming....I'd figure out what layout you want then decide what decorations will look good in your design. :)
