I've been trying everything I can to increase my multiplier. Right now, it's at 216.45%. Every time I save up 6 donuts, I try for the box because that seems to be what everyone says to do. Very annoyingly however, I seem to get nothing but bomb shelters and khlav khalash stands!! It's soooo frustrating because I can't afford to buty donuts right now, and have to wait too long to farm cash before I can make more Kwik E Marts. Other than the Beach Hideaways in SH, are the boxes still the best way to increase my multiplier?? Also, now that I have over 1 billion in SH real estate, is there any point left in gathering resources? Thanks for the help!! :) <3

Mystery boxes are a repeating pattern, and not random. They continue to be the best repeatable value for donuts anywhere in the game at approximately 8 to 1%. Note you do have to buy a lot to make regular purchases will get you there. 800 donuts will return you 100%I've literally bought thousands and others will likely confirm it.

But even if you receive a decent item, aren't you only increasing your multiplier by 1-2 percent at a time? As for the Beach Hideaways - all 5 should be bought ASAP, correct?

No mystery boxes for me. Too much of a waste. I have one beach hideaway (40% increase) and plan on buying at least one more. I have all my SH buildings upgraded. Also in the past, EA have added multipliers to old prizes, so check everything in your inventory just invade you've missed some.I'm at 276% and no rush to increase rapidly.

The beach hideaways should be bought right away if you are trying to increase your multiplier. The MBs really are the best way to increase your multiplier. Buying MBs one at a time can be frustrating because you will get a lot of junk. I like to buy multiple so I can at least go through the whole cycle of prizes at once.

Why do I have such terrible luck with mystery boxes??

Even if you just look at what you got. You have a 7% increase with a net of 112 donuts spent (if I added things up correctly). There isn't any items that can give you that good of a multiplier without some sort of rebate.

I suppose that's true. It just feels like a waste at the time, you know? Spending hard-earned donuts (or REAL money) just to sell it a second later for peanuts. I just always wondered how some people on here can have multipliers in the THOUSANDS!! Do they just have a ton of news vans saved up over time (in addition to the beach huts and other XP producing items).

Thank you :)

Yes probably. That and the flag sets. If you get the rebated jet car in the vault you can buy those for a sure 1% for 10 donuts.

I missed the flag event!!! I'm so choked :( :( The only flags I have are the ones with a pucture of a donut on them. They add slightly to the multiplier.

I have used the MBs to help increase my multiplier but not as much as some. It really comes down to how quickly you want to increase your multiplier. If that is the most important thing, then MBs in the way to go. People that use MBs a lot do have lots of vans and signs. Some hide them and others just dedicate a place for them to be out of the way.

The people who have multipliers in the thousands have also been around long enough to have seen a few glitches - tennis courts, wailing walls, inventory replication, etc. - that have allowed for some quick jumps in %. Plus a pretty healthy investment in other premium items with multipliers.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. The Beach Hideaways are by far the best IMO. I'm just upgrading my fifth an final one.

I got my multiplier up to 246.5, with 2 more upgrades left on the beach house. Now I have to wait for jobs to finish so I can send my chars out for the necessary resources :(

What did you guys do with all your Lard Lads?? I got like 4 or 5 more of them just today. I know they generate income like any other building, so it pays to keep them out - but I'm running out of room and don't want to buy new land for them (since they don't look good, seeing as how there're so many)!

OK, I think I finally see what you mean...as long as I keep buying box after box, the pattern (roughly) is as follows: Bomb shelter, Khlav Kalash stand, Minnow Pond, news van OR I&S board, 10 or 30 donuts, repeat. Then there's a Lard Lad thrown in once every 8 cycles or so.

At least this is the pattern I'm getting. Other than what I listed above, there is literally nothing else.

Also, the people who have large multipliers have been at this for YEARS dont expect results overnight, not without a very hefty real life cash investment.
