Should I Spend Donuts on the Stonecutter Lodge & Number 1?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

We’ve got a little Stonecutter Black Market sale going on in Springfield right now.  Items from the original Stonecutters Event are back in Springfield for a limited-time.  While a lot of players will already have the items, I know many TSTO noooobs are wondering if any of the items are worth adding to their Springfield.  So we’re here to break it all down for you!

Wondering if you should add the Stonecutter Lodge and Number 1 to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm spend button, let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this secret lodge to your Springfield.

Building: Stonecutter Lodge
Character: Number 1
Donut Price: 140 Donuts
Dimensions: 7×14
Earns: $2,500, 225xp/ 7days
Conform-O-Meter: Obedience +10
Bonus: IF you purchase you’ll also receive #908 (Stonecutter Homer)…which also doubles as The Chosen One

Both #1 and #908 (as well as all Stonecutters that you’ll pay donuts for now) now earn at a Premium Rate, so 50% more cash and XP.

Pros
-Restarts the Game of Stones questline
-You’ll get an extra skin with it (#908)
-Will unlock the ability to purchase other Stonecutters
-Lodge will be used
-It’s the Stonecutter Lodge, one of the more requested items in TSTO history.

Cons
-Was originally offered as a free item
-Pricey
-While #908 has some great tasks, #1’s tasks are pretty lackluster
-Number 1 is not voiced

Final Thoughts
Premium
Go for it.  If you missed Stonecutters over the summer & you have the donuts to spend, go for it.  It’s a good combo of building and character.  It will also give you a great feel for Stonecutters, even if you don’t pick up any other items.

Freemium
You’ve got 5+ days to decide on this one.  I do think it’s a good buy, with the building and character combo.  BUT it is pricey, especially since it was all free last year.  So this is a tough call.  Honestly, i’d say if you’ve seriously missed having these items in your town over the last 7 months get them.  But if you’ve done ok with out either & donuts are hard for you to come by, I’d take a pass on it.

If you’re only going to get 1 Stonecutter item from this event…this is the one I would get (that costs donuts.  Obviously get all the freemium stuff you can)
