Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Christmas has arrived in Springfield! But, with all of the new Christmas premium items that are limited-time it may be overwhelming trying to decide which items to buy and what to pass on. With that limited-time label on items I know it can be tempting to just buy everything you can. But, have no fear! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth your donuts & what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add King Winter and his Cave to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, let’s break down the Pros and Cons of adding chilly character to your Springfield.
Character/Decoration: King Winter/King Winter’s Cave
Cost: 175 Donuts
Bonus %: 1.5% on all cash and xp
Conform-O-Meter: Indolence + 10
Size: 4×6
Pros:
-Premium Character pays out at a premium rate, 50% on all tasks
-Voiced
-Comes with a questline
-Cave is considered a decoration and earns a 1.5% bonus on all cash and xp.
Cons:
-No animations associated with the Cave
-King Winter only has 2 outdoor tasks
-Very short questline, and requires Homer, Lisa, Flanders & Miss. Hoover to complete.
Final Thought:
Personally this is one I’ll probably pick up. I like the look of his cave & he basically has the same amount of task that all premium characters do these days (including only 2 visual ones). However, he adds NO benefit to the Christmas event in general. So if you’re looking at items to purchase and donuts are limited, you may want to pass on King Winter…and wait to see what’s down the road for the event.
Of course in the end we can’t tell you what to do, we can only guide you and let you know what WE would do. And in this case…I’m 99.9% sure I’ll be picking up King Winter. Whatever you decide just remember…this is a limited-time item. So be sure to make your decision before he disappears from our stores forever!
