Going mad trying to make sure you get every single possible Emblem? Not sure if there is a way to get it all? No worries, we are here to help you break down the math of the event so you can keep on track to get all those goodies in the Emblem Prizes.
Now you are wondering…can this be done WITHOUT spending precious pink sprinklies? Well, let’s see just where you can get Emblems without sacrificing the sweets to the Stonecutters alter. Lol.
To give you a good idea, this WILL require interaction with neighbors from you and them in return to get the most benefits. I listed an idea of the basics for an ADDICTED player and a here n there tapper so you have an idea what to expect with how YOU play the game. (I figured it for a total of 28 days to give room for the build and the event current end date of July 2nd. Calendar for totals is HERE.)
First up, the benefits of being a “Great Neighboreeno“. (This does not factor the 5 Emblems for Spying on the Lodge if you get that instead of 1 for other spy cams.) Don’t forget to check Krustyland. You can “Spy” there too. Don’t waste those first 60 taps on $, Menus, or spray cans…ONLY Spy Cameras.
You visiting neighbors
Daily Neighbor visit 60 Emblems (more if you tap the Lodge for 5 Emblems) = 60 Emblems a day. This will give you 1680 Emblems total for the Event.
Daily Neighbor Visit 30 Emblems = 30 Emblems a day. This will give you 840 Emblems total for the Event.
Neighbors visiting you
1 Emblem from 300 “spies” (100 neighbors times 3 taps) = 300 Emblems a day. This will give you 8,400 Emblems for the Event.
1 Emblem from 150 “spies (50 neighbors times 3 taps) = 150 Emblems a day. This will give you 4,200 Emblems for the Event.
2 Emblems from 300 “spies” (100 neighbors times 3 taps) = 600 Emblems a day. This will give you 16,800 Emblems for the Event.
2 Emblems from 150 “spies (50 neighbors times 3 taps) = 300 Emblems a day. This will give you 8,400 Emblems for the Event.
3 Emblems from 300 “spies” (100 neighbors times 3 taps) = 900 Emblems a day. This will give you 25,200 Emblems for the Event.
3 Emblems from 150 “spies (50 neighbors times 3 taps) = 450 Emblems a day. This will give you 12,600 Emblems for the Event.
4 Emblems from 300 “spies” (100 neighbors times 3 taps) = 1200 Emblems a day. This will give you 33,600 Emblems for the Event.
4 Emblems from 150 “spies (50 neighbors times 3 taps) = 600 Emblems a day. This will give you 16,800 Emblems for the Event.
5 Emblems from 300 “spies” (100 neighbors times 3 taps) = 1500 a day. This will give you 42,000 Emblems for the event.
5 Emblems from 150 “spies (50 neighbors times 3 taps) = 750 a day. This will give you 21,000 Emblems for the event.
So you can clearly see it really does pay off for you to have and to visit those 100 neighbors and they to return the favor and “Spy” on you as many times as they can too. Keep clearing all those All Seeing Eye Pyramids as fast as you can.
Next, those daily Tasks courtesy of #1.
Number 1 Tasks (Again, I factored in for 28 days of tapping.)
1 task (150) = 150 a day. This will give you 4,200 Emblems for the event.
2 tasks (150 + 200) = 350 a day. This will give you 9,800 Emblems for the event.
3 tasks (150 + 200 + 250) = 600 a day. This will give you 16,800 Emblems for the event.
4 tasks (150 + 200 + 250 + 400) = 1000 a day. This will give you 28,000 Emblems for the event.
Ark of the Stonecovenant/ Sacred Parchment Tasks (50 Emblems a task times 24 total tasks. You can complete these at anytime once unlocked.) This will give you 12,00 Emblems for the event.
So it will payoff in the long run to get as many of the four “hidden” tasks done as possible to better Emblem earning.
Now for the constant characters running around in our game. (28 tapping days again to give room for unlocking the option itself and playing daily from then on.)
Robed Order (Again, I factored in for 28 days of tapping.)
6 Robed figures tapped (4 Emblems each) = 24 Emblems a day. This will give you 672 Emblems for the event.
12 Robed figures tapped (4 Emblems each) = 48 Emblems a day. This will give you 1,344 Emblems for the event.
18 Robed figures tapped (4 Emblems each) = 72 Emblems a day. This will give you 2,016 Emblems for the event.
24 Robed figures tapped (4 Emblems each) = 96 Emblems a day. This will give you 2,688 Emblems for the event.
Again, another item that pays if you check back only 4 times a day (every 6 hours) to clear out the 6 Robed Order each time.
Now on to the Emblem generating tasks that you get extra for just completing the job itself.
Emblems from Tasks/Questlines Completed (100 Emblems each)
Game of Stones (7 Completions times 100 Emblems). This will give you 700 Emblems for the event.
Secret of the Cut Stone (9 Completions times 100 Emblems). This will give you 900 Emblems for the event.
Ark of the Stonecovenant (100 Emblems for Completion)
Trust No One (100 Emblems for Completion)
Quash Those Who Trespass Against Us (100 for Completion)
This will give you 300 Emblems for the event.
So you earn many just from finishing the event story lines. WOOHOO!!
Then there are the Emblems you can acquire from…acquiring Emblems. Lol. These are basically things you win by completing the Regular Event, Number 1, And Sacred Parchment tasks.
Emblems from Stonecutters Skins
Welcome to the Stonecutters # …(100 Emblems each one, 17 total)
#36 / #600/ #85/ #21/ #50/ #111/ #5
#22/ #66/ #59/ #12/ #14/ #79/ #67
This will give you 1,400 Emblems for the event.
Emblem from items won in the Emblem Prizes list (Again, I factored in for 28 days of tapping.)
Chest of Sacred Artifacts. (20 Emblems every 8 hours)
Collect 1 time = 20 a day. This will give you 560 Emblems for the event.
Collect 2 times = 40 a day. This will give you 1,120 Emblems for the event.
Collect 3 times = 60 a day. This will give you 1,680 Emblems for the event.
Overall, as you can see, there are a LOT of ways for you to easily acquire those 35,000 Emblems by just being a daily tapper. The more active you are…the higher payout of Emblems (and sweet treats at the end. FYI…this is how I got a TON of donuts during Halloween as a FREEMIUM tapper. Those bonus donuts add up fast). I have not even included the 5 Emblem Lodge taps that you can get and the extras you get from placing items in your town, like the daycare.
Again, this also relies on neighbor participation…so don’t just stop tappin due to you got your 60 Emblems. Give to your neighbors and in return they should give to you. Pay it forward in a way. Lol.
Let me know if this has helped you out. Any thoughts?
~Bunny
Question about the last #1 task of the day: Do I actually have to collect on the task before the reset to get the emblems, or does it just have to be finished, and I can collect it still the morning after?
You need to finish them before the time runs out…or they revert to the next day and take over as the #1 task and only paying the 150 emblems…so you start #2 next.
And ‘finish’ means, I have to tap on the hand and collect the emblems before the reset? Sorry for being persistent, I am not sure I got the idea across…
Example 1: I start a 4h task 3,5h before the reset – the task becomes the first task of the next day because it cannot be completed before the reset, no doubt about it.
Example 2: I start a 4h task 4,5h before the reset. The task will be completed 0,5h BEFORE the reset. Ideally, if I tap the ‘tumbs up’ right away, I get the emblem-reward.
BUT WHAT IF I don’t tap it right away, but only after the reset? Will it become the first task of the next day, or do I still get the reward from the previous day, as the task technically was completed on the previous day?
If your clock states you have 3 hours left…sending a character on a 4 hour task will be pointless. Unless you want a head start for the next day.
The tasks HAVE to be done, thumb tapped, and completed BEFORE that clocks runs out. The very second it resets…anything you did prior will roll over on to the new day and become task #1.
Rewards reset the second that clock does…no matter what payout you were trying to collect…once the new day hits you will only get 150 Emblems to start.
Thanks! In that case, 20 hours of tasks are impossible to do for me 🙁
Oh mah GAWSH I’m so excited! Going to comic-con today. I can proudly say that I know how to play the Pokemon card game. GEEKS UNITE!
I am spying on my neighbours even after my 60, but they aren’t! I have seen that just a few are… :c
I think I have the same issue. I always visit all 100 neighbors. Yesterday that yielded 5 donuts! I’ve started making a list. Going to check it twice. Going to find out …. lol
Thank you for all the great posts. They’re fantastic. All the info you put out is amazing & really helpful.
Just received a message in my game asking if I was ready to unlock the secret of the stonecutters & I would get 12 donuts to aid in the investigation. I hit ok and then nothing. What’s up?
You may have already got them. I still have not seen the message and got them a long time ago.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/06/free-random-donuts-woohoo/
I don’t ever comment, but I read this site everyday. You guys are like my guilty pleasure! Thanks for all you do for us tappers! Keep up the amazing work!
Well thank YOU for coming to our silly lil blog. 😉
Thx for the math, Bunny! I love all you guys. You are way more patient then I ever am, lol.
“Ark of the Stonecovenant/ Sacred Parchment Tasks (50 Emblems a task times 24 total tasks. You can complete these at anytime once unlocked.) This will give you 12,000 Emblems for the event.”
Is there an extra 0 here? 😉
That or wishful thinking 😉
Hate to be a Negative Nancy but you guys wrote the same things about Easter… how a player was guaranteed to get the good swag as counters got set after so many plays of blue/pink eggs without getting a premium item. It didn’t work out that though and many of the fremium players missed out BIG TIME. The Stonecutters quest seems even more unobtainable to me than Easter!!!!
Are you kidding me?! MORE unobtainable? What would make you happy? If EA said “here you go…I just put everything in your town for you no need to do anything or play…it’s just there” come on man!
There’s 0 game of chance with this. All you have to do is play and you’ll get the stuff. No risk, nothing to collect to unlock a chance to do something. You collect the emblems you unlock the prize.
Seriously man. It’s nearly a month long event and it’s only 3.5 days into it…give it a chance before you say it’s unobtainable. If you set yourself up for failure from the start you’ll achieve it every time. Just relax, play the update and have fun. 🙂
I couldn’t have said it any better Alissa. I absolutely hated the Easter event and hope EA never codes another event like that again. This is absolutely one of the most fun events to date for TSTO. If you don’t reach the goals then you don’t deserve the rewards. If you simply complete #1s daily tasks that’s 28000 emblems then you only need to earn another 7000.That is only 250 emblems extra a day you need to collect from interaction with your neighbors. So tap tap tappity tap 🙂
I played the Easter event every 4 hours for 12 to 16 hours of awake time during the day for the entire duration (and for even 48 hours after the deadline). I got ZERO premium items from the gold eggs. I did NOT come close to getting the 50 Easter fences. TO be fair I suppose, I did get Hugs Bunny. Otherwise, I have an absolute boat load of egg piles for ya.
Game of chance? Whatever. When I spend that much effort and the payoff is 1 premium item, I think my criticism is well founded and backed up by data and perhaps you should lighten up a bit.
Your comparing Easter to this and saying this is harder. That’s what’s not adding up. Easter was all a game of what you won in the box, this is a pay out at each point and much easier to obtain.
I think im pretty lighten up over it all. Your criticism of Easter is warranted, but your saying this event is harder 4 days in isn’t a fair assessment.
I get Easter was mega frustrating for a lot of people. We should all be happy EA saw how unpopular it was and went with an event like the one we currently have.
easter was horrible. i think this event will prove to be better though i wish there were more buildings to decorate with.. easter and valentines day were horrible with tossing plants and decorations at you that don’t fit into your town year round. i’d much rather have buildings and the like that add to the overall everyday appearance. i have no doubt though that’ll get most everything from this event as i did halloween and christmas. easter and valentines though.. i didn’t even come close and i play multiple times a day.
It’s actually way better than easter and follows the usual pattern of their update events. I started playing tapped out at the Halloween event with about a week or two left of the event and 3 friends and managed to get 3-4 of the gifts. If you have enough friends you should be able to get everything or almost all, depending on how many times you play. But yeah easter wasn’t goid. I was two fences away from donuts and did’nt really get any of the interesting characters
Thanks for this! I am loving this event… plus I finally found a use for my pastel Easter fences. They look great with the Stonecutter’s daycare center!
We had a giggle when we saw the daycare center in the files…thinking about how we were talking about a great use for pastel fences would be around the daycare center. And loving the fact they added another slide, perfect for those parks! 🙂
Yes the slide is great too! My only problem: how many should I buy?! Lol
LOTS!! Lol. I love those lil slides. Makes me wanna go to the park right now and play on some. 😉
Just hope you know how much we love what you do..we would be lost without you..And I agree with you on the Pyramid, just got to have.. It’s so cool looking….
Awww well thanks. We love to help out. I know I get great joy out of it. 😉
(p.s. IT’S A PYRAMID!!!)
Thanks so much for doing the math!! I feel so much better looking at your calendar(great job by the way) If I stay on track I should be all good..all your guidelines are so helpful. Thanks again 🙂
That is what we are here for. 😉
I love helping out all I can. We do the work, you get to enjoy the game. 😉
Apologies if this has been asked/answered before, but if you start the last Number 1’s task before the timer resets, will you still get the emblems if the task finishes after? I just had to do a 6 hour task with approx 4 hours left on the timer.
Since you are # 1 million and one…I am unable to answer that. 😛
From what I have seen in my test games and majority of others (also in coding), it has to be done BEFORE that clock resets. Or it puts it to the next days #1 task. But, reports from some is a glitch and they can still collect.
Lol, darn, I was hoping to be # 1 million 😀
Thank you for answering, I guess it’s wait and see. Wish me luck for a glitch!
LUCK!! 😉
This update has been problematic for me. I was unable to sign in for two full days after placing the first building (so at least I got Number 1 as soon as I finally got back in), and now when I go to visit neighbours it says I will earn 0 emblems for my next 0 neighbours. I’m hoping that will reset to normal when the 24 hours tick over.
Also, when I click Number 1’s icon in the top right corner, a box flashes for a fraction of a second and then disappears. If I’m meant to use that icon to activate something like the daily tasks, it’s not working.
Just going to be another update where I am ready to play frequently, and game glitches prevent me from saving up the emblems and getting the content… Why am I still trying to use this game?
For the Emblems, yes…only 60 actions every 24 hours. So wait for reset…in meantime still go tap money as it doesn’t take from the spying option in your neighbors.
Known glitch with Number 1. The way around it is use my Number 1 tasks post to figure out what time frames you have each day and try and locate a character and task that coincides with it.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/05/number-1s-daily-tasks/
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/04/glitch-number-1s-daily-tasks-disappeared/
Because…It is ADDICTING!! Lol 😉
I am reeeeally thankful that my Number 1 has started working now. I hope it stays that way, because when I start consulting charts and sifting through every character’s list for new tasks that match up to the chart is the time where “fun” is no longer remotely identifiable in this game.
But now that everything seems to be working, I’m in. Shame I’ve lost a fair few days’ worth of emblems, but hopefully my obsessiveness can make sure I catch up. Thanks for tolerating my bitching session and replying with more than “here’s the link you should have already read more carefully, dumb dumb”.
Im loving this event . Love tstoaddicts always helpful info love reading post of other fellow tappers. You guys rock!!!
Awww, well just happy we can help out. 😉
Awesome! Thank you for all the great info! Stonecutters is one of my all time favorite Simpson’s episodes so I am definitely psyched for this event!! Looking forward to your “Should I Spend Donuts On” post!
I am having fun…that is for sure. 😉
I’m just a little bummed they didn’t add Herman to the mix. He was in the episode and frequently shown too… heck his # could have been 22, 38, 308 or 357 or something. Still a great event though and a long time coming
Woo for…er… math? Thanks for crunching the numbers and explaining it in a way that even a caveman could fallow (especially since this caveman ain’t so great with the numbers).
CAP’N CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
This gave me the biggest grin, remembering. 😀 I LOVED Cavey as a kid!!
And son!
Bunny, you already had my respect for all you do on this site to help us, but after reading this comment, you now have earned my utmost respect.
Love the reference to a cartoon that always made me smile when I was younger, even though I didn’t remember it until reading this comment!
Mad props.
Awww well thanks. 😉
I am just a silly fluffy geeky nerdy girl. 😛
Great info. Kind of wish the picture on the main page did not spoil all of the prizes though.
Yah yah yah…its not like the shadows of each of the images in the pop up didn’t do it already. 😉
Actually at least 3 of them I could not figure out until I saw the actual picture.
Should I spend donuts on the “All Seeing Eye?” I really like the way it looks and it fascinates me. But is the 100 donuts worth it?
Honestly…I got it JUST for the looks. Lol. I LOVE the pyramids. 😉
Outside of that…IT’S A PYRAMID!!! Lol. Sorry. I am biased on this one. Should I buys are coming up.
I didn’t get half of what you said :'( . All I know is for 28 days of playing I’d need 1250 emblems a day. Considering that I’m racking up 2100+ in a day it won’t be an issue to win all the prizes
That’s basically exactly what she was saying. As long as players play regularly and visit neighbors, it’s completely possible to get everything.
I’m confused. How the heck are you getting 1250 a day? I’m maxed out on friends but it really doesn’t matter since you can only get 60 every 24 hours that route. Where do the other 1190 come from? I’ve already visited my friends for the day, I have had friends visit me, and I did the #1 tasks… I have 249 emblems after checking in 3 times in the last 12 hours.
You get 1,000 from doing ALL of #1’s tasks daily, 100 when you complete a part of the questlines, 50 each time you do a parchment task…
I get the 60 like everyone else, but all 93 of my friends visit me daily. With the possibility of each of them tapping my town 3 times and only collecting let’s say 3 emblems from each, that’s still 837 emmblems a day… 1395 if I caught each building at 5. Add the 60 into that and it’s easily 1250. Also have to figure in emblems from hooded figures, tasks and the questline. It’s completely doable for anyone with good neighbors and the time to tap.
Looks like I’ll get everything, barring glitches etc. As for the comment below about only getting 60 emblems for visiting neighbors…. If you tap the lodge you get 5. So you can get 300 for 60 actions. Yesterday I got 260 for 60 actions. I also visited all 100 neighbors, and got 5 dropped donuts! Wooohooo.
Awwwww. Sorry. Tried to explain it quite simplistic. The entire post is essentially all the different ways you can earn Emblems. So if you want to focus on just one or two items, you can see what they bring for you.
And yah…I worked out for it to be 1297 Emblems a day from the start of my Calendar to be on track. The entire calendar is here….
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/06/stonecutters-emblem-calendar/
I haven’t received the chest of sacred artifacts yet. I’ve received the sacred parchment. When will it come up? Or am I experiencing a glitch?
It is part of the Emblem Prizes.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/05/emblem-prizes-shhhh-secret-bonus/
Oh! I thought it was a quest that I had to send a character on and the i’d receive it. I saw the chest in the prizes which confused me even more. Thanks for the info, you guys are great!
Ok so my next question is should I have a quest line in my passbook area for “game of stones”? I completed part 4 but I haven’t been prompted to start part 5.
You have to unlock certain items in the Emblem Prizes and other tasks to keep it going.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/04/turbo-tappin-stonecutters-game-of-stones-the-secret-of-the-cut-stone/
How do you unlock the puzzle or do they just show up time to time
The info for the Ark is in this post…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/04/ark-of-the-stoneconvenant-sacred-parchment/
The info for the Number 1 tasks are here…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/05/number-1s-daily-tasks/
I also put the link within the names of them. All you need to do is tap on them.
Thanks for the guidelines!! If my estimates and math are right, I’m on pace for about 66,000 emblems. So 10 bonus donut boxes with 3/ box (I always pay to get the 3 donuts if needed) and I may walk out of here with 30 extra donuts. Plus the 15 mysterious free ones… I wonder how long it took to earn my first 45 donuts in this game… waaaaaayyyyyy longer than 28 days, that’s for sure!
Thanks Bun-Bun 🙂
You are most welcome doh doh. 😉
…missing out on the voice of Number One (that’s what I meant to write – sorry I am a bit off my game, due to a lovely virus)
I’ve got some different origin posts coming but yes, they certainly like Season 6 and who can blame them?
OT, but I just re-watched disc 2 from the 6th season of The Simpsons, containing among others ‘Homer the Great’ – so funny! We are really missing out on the voice 🙂
I realized they took a lot of stuff from the 6th season and put it into the game. The Olmec Head turned up again in ‘Homer the Great’, the Knightboat in ‘And Maggie Makes Three’, to name but two. And I really want the Skinner-Weatherballoon now 😉
Bunny…..I’ve got a question for you….I see on your chart that skinner bird watching is #1′s activity for tommorrow. ..since it’s a 24hr task, can I start it now ? And will it count??…
Also you accelerate a task if you put a building in storage to free a character you need for another task…thanks in advance!!
Do not know. Have not tried the “trick” to speed up a task. Give it a go. The Ark tasks never expire. 😉
It does work I discovered this by accident with the walk Mr Teeny task
Thanks for posting this! This definitely helped out as I constantly come across lodges that have been tapped on. Now I can see that I’m not missing out on anything in the long run!
The Stonecutters episode is one of my favorite episodes. I just started playing in March, and was disappointed when I noticed there wasn’t a Stonecutter’s Lodge. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long for it, and of course I’m loving this event so far.
I am loving it too. 😉
Thank you bunny for doing the math (I was too busy tapping :)). I feel so confident, unlike 15 minutes ago. But sadly I have to wait another day before I tap my friends’ towns because I had to do it late today and that completely threw me off my daily schedule. 🙂
Reset it to fit YOUR time. If you wait for them to all reset…then wait til say 5pm YOUR time (or the time best for you)…THEN start tapping. YOU control that timer for neighbor visits. It begins with the very first neighbor tapped once all those reset. 😉
Thanks for the breakdown bunny!
One question, what is the total number of emblems we have to reach, in order to unlock everything?
That is in the Calendar (and in this post…at the end) 😉
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/06/stonecutters-emblem-calendar/
D’oh! Thanks!
