Stonecutters and the Conform-O-Meter

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Stonecutters Secret Society isn’t such a secret anymore ever since they rebuilt in Springfield!   With all of the new items added to Tapped Out with the event I thought now would be a good time to take a look at how all of these items impact the Conform-O-Meter ratings.

The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and  XP from everything you collect in the game.  When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town.  If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.

While the Stonecutter Event brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring us a ton of new items to add to our Springfield.  Let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating:

New Buildings:

Item Cost Category  Points
Stonecutter Lodge $2,000 Obedience 10
Stonecutter Daycare Center $250,000 Obedience 10
Abandoned Store 30 Donuts Obedience 10
All Seeing Eye 100 Donuts Obedience 10

Decorations:

Item Cost Category  Points
Hieroglyph Wall $500 Vanity 5
Tube Slide $2,500 Vanity 100
Sacred Parchment 1,450 Emblems Obedience 10
Chest of Sacred Artifacts 55 Donuts/ 6,500 Emblems Obedience 10
Money Pool 14,000 Emblems Consumerism 10
Stone of Triumph 22,500 Emblems Vanity 100
Stonecutters Table 31,500 Emblems Gluttony 10
Satan’s Anvil 35,000 Emblems Vanity 10
Ark of the Stone Convanant Solve 24 Parchment Puzzles Obedience 10

So there you have it my friends!  The complete rundown of how all of the new Stonecutter Goodies impact the conform-o-meter.  Lots of new decorations/buildings to improve your obedience rating…but it’s always great to get a new decoration that impacts consumerism too!

How’s your Conform-O-Meter doing?  Are you maxed out?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Turbo Tappin’ Premium Stonecutters: Number 51 & It’s Just Swamp Gas

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Stonecutters are here!  With all those new robed men walking around your Springfield, you might quickly pass over the short green one!  Number 51 is a premium Stonecutter character you can purchase for 100 donuts during the Stonecutter Event.  Once unlocked he comes with a fun questline & now that many of you are reaching the end of your prize collecting & purchasing characters, we figured now’s the perfect time to Turbo Tap Number 51!

For those of you who don’t know Turbo Tappin’ is our quick version of a walkthrough for the Level/Update/Character where we give you who starts the quest, the task and what you earn.  This way you have your quick guide on who to keep free and when.  This is great for our fellow Addicts who love to copy and paste the walkthrough into their device for quick reference.

Now on with the walkthrough!  Let’s find out what all this Swamp Gas is about shall we?

Where Did THAT Come From – Rocket Car

Level 42!!!!!!

Anyone else nerding out and thinking about the Hitchhiker’s Guide right now?  I know this level isn’t the ultimate answer to the ultimate question but it’s still a number that easily gets me re-reading my Douglas Adams books.  Anywho… you didn’t visit the site today just to hear how big a geekanerdadorkasaurus I am, did you?  If you did… rock on but I realize some might actually want info on some of the newest and coolest stuff we got.

For this WDTCF, I thought we’d hit something from Level 42 that appears real quick in the Best. Show. Ever.  The Rocket Car.

Sacred Parchment Prizes: Fifth Prize at Twenty Puzzles Solved #59

Hey Howdy Hey Stonecutting Tappers!

The incredibly cool thing about the Stonecutter’s Event is not only do you earn prizes by collecting Emblems BUT you also earn more Stonecutter Skins in the Sacred Parchment Prizes.  While you can find out more about the Sacred Parchment here, basically what it is is a daily riddle you must solve and send a character on a task.  Once you sent so many characters on a task (1, 5, 10, 15, 20 & 24) a new prize will unlock for you.  It really adds an AWESOME dynamic to the game!

So once you’ve solved your twentieth Sacred Parchment Puzzle you’ll unlock the 5th free personal prize….#59 (aka Stonecutter Smithers)!  #59 is an  all new skin for Smithers that come with a whole new set of tasks for Smithers (finally a 1hr task with out Mr. Burns)!
