Inside the Vault…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So a new element was introduced to TSTO with the launch of the Time Travel Toaster Event….The Vault!

Let’s explore this Donut Vault, what you can expect from it and what dates items are set to change out….

The Vault is a location in your TSTO Store where certain premium items will now be stored, and when they appear in the vault (for a limited time) they appear at a discount, well donut rebate.

The game popup explains it best…

So basically items that always appear in the store (Premium Items) like the Knight Boat, Fiddler, the Whale, etc have been pulled from their store categories and placed in The Vault.  Items will rotate in and out of the vault at varies times, so you’ll have to check it out often to see what’s inside.

To access The Vault…go to your Store and find the Vault Icon (top row last one on the right…):

And that will bring up your Vault Options…

You’ll see items all offered with a rebate (even the Whale, but I’m still not buying one..you can’t get me EA!) and a timer.

Pay attention to the timers, because the items will disappear from the store when that timer runs out.  The rebate won’t just disappear, the items will leave the store for a period of time…

It appears that the items will remain in the store for a week, resetting every week.  Currently the files show an Vault End Date of September 12th.  So it looks like they’ll be around for the summer at least.  I do not know what will happen when September 12th hits though.  Not sure if they’ll go back to how they were before the Vault, if EA will launch another Vault round or if they’ll disappear all together.  We’ll all have to find out together….

So now the reason you’re all here… What’s in the Vault

First, let me start with everyone’s Vault will like vary.  It’ll depend on what premium items you have in your town…so don’t panic if your neighbor’s is different than yours.  All items will appear at some point.

So here’s what’s offered in the Vault, along with their rebates:

NOTE: The Should I Buy Posts are LINKED in the item title…also, not posting images because there are so many items it’ll bog down the post load.  But you can find images on our Premium Guide Page here.  I’ve also put little notes on the sides of ones I think are great pickups…

Whew!  And that concludes everything listed in the Vault!

Once again, I have no idea when these particular items will appear in your store specifically.  The items will rotate out each week, and everyone’s store will be different. So just keep an eye on The Vault to see what’s in there and what’s new!

What are your thoughts on the Vault?  A lot of items you think you’ll be picking up?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
