How many Carbon Rods do I need a day to get all three prizes?

I'm aiming for 3700 a day but you better double check with someone else to be safe

If you click on the trophy icon, it will show you many things.

Not a day, so that doesn't help.

3,700 sounds like it may be close.

As far as I can tell, the second part of the event starts in aprox 5 days.
I think the first part ends in 33 days (unless I am being confused by all the sub menus).
Can some one verify, or tell me if I am wrong?

I have a neighbor with over 6600 carbon rods. Most of them are currently at 0, or between 1000 and 2000.

My bad. Missed the "a day" part. :oops:

There's nothing in game to indicate when phase one ends, I'm being super pessimistic and assuming that phase one ends when phase two starts (so 4 days and a little under 12 hours here). I wish that the game was more specific because my pessimism is based on the manner in which Halloween was run but there's nothing in game to verify this assumption. I'm at 3000 rods after 12 hours of being able to collect rods so hopefully as I improve the tower, my earnings will increase.

I agree the pessimistic approach seems like the way to go. 3700 per day for part one, if you got a late start you may want to rush.

Just play the game. You know it's a game, right? Stop stressing and just try and enjoy it.

the event ends in 33 days, not the first part.

I'm betting the confusion is being caused by the part one prizes being marked as available for 33 days.

Honestly after checking LPNs awesome walkthrough I think we may be looking at a gating system for the prizes rather then a strict timer because each issue is heavily focused around the final prize from the one before it.

Better still, just delete the game. I know many of my neighbors has stopped playing months ago. Wish I could do the same.

My confusion comes from 'Phase 1' saying the event ends in 32 days and 'Phase 4' saying it starts in 32 days. I thought this might mean, that we have 32 days to finish Phases 1, 2 & 3 together.

I am just tapping like crazy. If we are lucky each phase will continue until the event ends. But just in case you should aim to get the prizes by the time the phase ends.

The issue I have is that I don't know how the transition from rods (phase one) to pies (phase 2) is going to happen in that I don't know if we'll be able to earn rods and pies (and whatever the phase 3 currency is) simultaneously. Right now, I'm on track to finish phase one before phase two starts and I'd highly doubt that EA would let me keep up that pace (because there's bonus donut boxes post final prize of phase one and EA tends to limit those). Basically though, you need to clear the criminals in your own town as frequently as you can and be/have awesome neighbors.

I think the prison and the Clownface costume are crucial for the event. I wouldn't sweat it.

It appears to me that each new Issue focuses on the final prize character from the previous Issue. For example, Clownface is the final prize for Issue 1, and then it looks like he's the main character in Issue 2. So it seems like you need to get the final prize from the previous Issue in order to start the next Issue. So I don't think there will be a cut-off to get it, apart from the actual end of the event, obviously. I also think it makes sense that Issues 1, 2, and 3 will end in 32 days, at which time Issue 4 will begin. It's obviously different from the other 3 since you can't see the name or shape of the prizes.
