Hey there Hoppereenos!
Sorry a lil late on this one. Long weekend, lil time off.
This is your Daily Bounce By to let you know what time drops I saw for Today’s Cecil’s Daily Tasks.
| 1st Daily Task | 2hrs |
| 2nd Daily Task | 1hrs |
| 3rd Daily Task | 4hrs |
| 4th Daily Task | 1hrs |
Remember, the tasks and Character Groups will vary for every player. Let us know if you see anything different in your game.
Here are the Top 5 I always leave free for the Daily Tasks (also in the post below). This allows my other Characters to focus on other Material earning tasks. (This list was made to be friendly to all players. If you have some Premium Characters that could replace them with, feel free to.)
| Comic Book Guy | WolfCastle | Rod OR Todd | Quimby | Grandpa Abe | |
| Brainiac | X | – | – | – | – |

You can find a lot more detailed post on the Daily Tasks HERE. 😉
FYI… If you did NOT complete a task from the prior day, it rolls over to be the FIRST task of the next day. You will lose the higher payout. So finish them BEFORE the reset or you will have it become the next day’s task.
How are your daily tasks coming along? Getting them done? Visiting Neighbors yet? How is your Materials coming along? Corn, Fertilizer, and Spades? What do you think of the top 5? Let us know.

Happy 420 to all the addicts! Stay up!
Bit of a weird question: Is there any way to reset the timer for Cecil’s task? I was on vacation (and in a different time zone) when I downloaded this update. Now that I’m home, my timer runs out at 2AM instead of midnight. It hasn’t been a huge problem so far, just a little annoying when the tasks are on the long side. I’ve tried all the basic troubleshooting but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it even worth contacting EA?
Unfortunately not.
my monsarno building shows an upgrade icon but I have nothing to upgrade. I’m at level 7 and I don’t have enough to craft anything. the only thing I have closest to completing is 200 shovels away from the 200 corn award. anyone else have that issue?
Yes, it’s going around. Just ignore it. Can’t actually upgrade until Act 2 hits.
Yay! Finished daily tasks…
☺️☺️☺️
Hey! Last task today is 4 Hours for a Pessimist. But i cant take one, the clock is not starting. Charakter is Going to work but it does not count. Even stored one but it does not help. Somebody Knows what to do?
Yours
Len
You need a pessimist free. Are any of them free?
Yes, one is free. Send him to work, but Clock is not starting.
And you’re sure you sent the pessimist on the right task right? Because sometimes 2 tasks are highlighted in yellow. If you’re certain you sent them on the correct task for Cecil’s Daily task then try hard closing and restarting TSTO. If that doesn’t get the timer to start then contact EA and let them know what you’re seeing…
Thank you. Clock Reste at 24:00, at the Moment it Works Again…
I’ve seen others post about these issues but want to their in mine too.
1) been at work and in between breaks, 2 hours. I came back to have only one mutant plant 🙁
2) past week or so, the daily reward doesn’t pop up unless I go to krustyland. And because I can’t remember going there last night I think it reset to day one when I thought I was on day 3 or 4. Anyone having issues with the daily reward coming up, etc?
3) it’s getting really annoying that they haven’t fixed the task menu from closing. Know what I’m talking about? Some characters I have to keep bringing up and send on a task team fast or it keeps closing quickly.
Thought I’d bring these issues up
Regarding your third point–mine does that when something is happening in my Springfield such as a building or other character completing their timer. I thought it was intentional, not a bug, because it lets me know something changed and could theoretically kickstart a new quest line or something.
Has anyone noticed that you stop collecting shovels from your neighbors after a certain point? I get through a third of my neighbors and I only get cash for clicking on mutant corn.
That’s because you can only collect on 90 actions/day (or 30 neighbors if you’re getting 3/neighbor). Check out this post for more

Should i upgrade my building to level 4 to open more tasks for the other players .lol i really want to earn the market and the corn field before the new prizes come in
Upgrade. It may feel like you’re losing out, but trust me Upgrade. Here’s why

Thanks better get busy😆
Is anyone having problems with mutant plants spawning? I set my game up last night before bed, and when I returned this AM (8 hrs later) there were no mutant plants anywhere. After ten minutes of fiddling around 1 popped up and when I clicked it the notice said I was clear. None spawned the whole night though?
This happened to a few others. My suggestion was to hard close before going to bed. Sometimes it just needs a good reboot. For everyone I suggested that to the next morning they had a town full of them.
That’s weird…I think my tasks were 1,1,and 4 so far. I’m noticing with a lot of us the first task is the only one that doesn’t align with what Bunny posts. Hmmm….
Agreed. My first task hasn’t matched in days.
Today so far mine has been 4, 1, 4.
The second and third match and fourth should also, but not the first.
Hi. Looking for some advice. Am I better continuing to upgrade the research place or should I save up for the market as per the task? I’m at level 4 just now and swithering whether to press the button for level 5 or not. I don’t seem to be generating the fertiliser and corn all that quickly. Thanks. Craig
Upgrade. The task is a long term goal and not required to move on.
Thanks Alissa.
I was wondering the same thing. So does that mean that the craftable items will not change after part one is over?
That’s the way we interpret it. If you look at past events with crafting, Halloween and Superheros, the crafting was around for the whole update. The items didn’t change, but new ones were added. (except Superheros, new ones were not added with that).
I am finding crafting impossible. I got the license and I have most characters and I am still at only about 10% there on crafting the Market. Only 9 days to go.
The license won’t help with crafting…remember that. It’s only for the currency for prizes.
Also, the crafting prizes should stick around during Act 2. They’re meant to be long term goals, not something you accomplish in 2 or 3 days.
Because there is a countdown at the bottom of the crafting menu. That is why I am worried.
Says new prizes added. Doesn’t say you have …. time to craft. Usually when it’s ending it says, hurry prizes (or event or what have you) ending…..
Me too, I was wondering if I wld b able to get any prizes. And when u upgrade the building it uses what you collected. This update I’m not skied about. Getting prizes seems to b a chore.
Happy 420 Tappers.
well, since I dont know how long the event us, I didnt feel like I had time to gather stuff. so I spent donuts on the corn field and outhouse thing and the farmers market already. Because I got into gaining material “late” I’m way behind on it. Even after visiting neighbors.Apparently there is tons of other items and like 4 other characters that show up during this event, but I haven’t seen any of that yet….
That’s because it’s a paced event. Meaning there’s no rush. You have 2 weeks for Act 1 and then Act 2 will start…but once Act 2 starts you can still finish Act 1. It’s about pacing yourself and playing at your speed. EA’s just listing items for people to spend donuts on for those who are impatient.
I must have reached some goals too quickly because I got all the act one upgrades to the Monsarno building and have been waiting two days for Act II which it seems won’t be here for another week? At least I will have plenty of time to save up for the cane field, John smoky thing and farmers market!
Act 2 (and Act 3 when it hits) are on timed releases. So it won’t matter how fast you finish as the next act won’t open until that release date. Act 2 will not start until the 28th.
Heeeey, my monsarno building is at level 7 and it says thats it for act 1, I logged into my game earlier and collected more items and the upgrade item appeared on top of the monsarno building, I clicked it and I can’t upgrade anymore just wondered whether this was a glitch or something? Thanks.
Just a glitch…it’s going around. Won’t impact anything, just ignore it.
Ok thanks guys!
Thanks for all the help!
I haven’t figured out the math yet but the likes of CBG has a bigger pay out than other characters I’m his respective group(s). I think keeping one or two characters with smaller payouts free will be a better ROI than CBG. Again I haven’t done all the math so I think I may be right.
Mine rolled over from yesterday, so my first task was 6 (from yesterday) and my second task was 1 hour. I presume the remaining tasks will follow your timeline.
I suppose for a lot of people, Sundays are an easier day to get 16 hours of tasks in, but it’s extra hard for me. Had 3 hours of church, then dinner with friends (for which I baked homemade brownies). Turned out to be a busier day than normal, so it was the first time I didn’t complete the daily tasks. But I’m okay with it, since I’m still ahead of Bunny’s calendar. Although crafting feels like it’s going to take FOREVER. Glad it’s a longer event…
I find it annoying that the game makers think we should live this game. The more we advance the more diffiult completing all the daily tasks have become. Basically play the game when you are not sleeping or you will not get everything. I have most characters too.,
Some events, you even have to play when you are sleeping!
I’m already at upgrade at level 7.(no donuts used). The hammer upgrade symbol remains. It won’t disappear as i can’t upgrade anymore. Is this ok? Will it stay there till Act 2?
It’ll stay there until new level open up. Just ignore it.
1 hour then 4 hour for me so far. I finished all of yesterday’s tasks before midnight. I really hope the next time EA does an event like this they keep all the tasks the same for everyone.
My third task was for an hour and then I didn’t get a fourth one. It says I finished all the tasks for the day but I only got 3 instead of 4. Not sure why or if any of the rewards were short changed but pretty nice not having to worry about another task for the day. Has this happened to anyone else?
A question about Corn and Fertilizer, do I need to save it? Once I’m done crafting everything should I keep collecting Corn and Fertilizer for Act 2?
You should continue to collect it
My method is a little different…I keep all the characters busy and if a task requires a character thats not free, lets say grandpa abe, I just store the retirement castle. I only loose one characters earnings instead of five characters.
Either that or put the four other characters on missions with the same duration as whoever is currently ‘live’. But to do that you need a squad with a good range of 1, 2, 4 and 6 hour tasks, although you can substitute a 1 hour for a 2 hour, or a 4 hour for a 6 hour, and not lose too much, which is useful as 2 and 6 hr tasks aren’t all that common.
For me, I keep 4 of the other characters doing the same time frame so they all tap out at the same time when Cecil’s task is done and they are ready for the next one.
ditto
I had the same as you again Bunny. Every day we’ve been the same.
Saw 1-2-4-1 in my game as well. I managed to complete all four tasks on all previous days. So far my game exactly matched the sequences you’ve published.
I really hate those 4-4-2-6 combos. It’s pretty tough to manage 16h-jobs with a normal sleep and work rhythm.
Oops, actually I meant to write 2-1-4-1.
So far today I’ve had 2hr, 1hr and now 4hr.
Bunny you never need to apologise for this being a lil late – after all it’s still ‘Way too early’ o’clock for you 😉
Just back to confirm all 4 of my tasks matched your list. 2hr, 1hr, 4hr, and 1hr. So much easier than yesterday!
For the first act you only need to keep quimby , grandpa and rod or tod free .
My day started with a 4-hour task for a Civil Servant to Clean the Brown House. FWIW, I did complete all 4/19 tasks.
Oddly enough the numbers you had for 419 weren’t what I got. Well 3 of my farms… the 4th for some reason was not 1 2 4 1 . It was 1 4 2 6. Not sure what any of this means . Except my timers are off and I have to readjust that farm for the day
Don’t worry on it. The timers will vary per player, especially if you started a day after I did (first day) and it also jumbles up if say … you don’t finish a task the day before so it rolls over on to the new day. No worries at all. Just do as your game tells you. I just wanted to know more on how it varied person by person so I ask what your results are. 😉
Had a tough run yesterday. 4 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and then 6 hour. Given it was a Sunday, I did not wake up early enough to finish, though it gave me a leg up on todays daily tasks.
First tasks is 4 hrs.
Same here
Same. First was 4, second is 1 hour
Me too. I happened to wake up briefly at 3:10 am (east coast US time) so I checked my game. Got assigned 4 hr Cecil task (send entrepreneur to protect intellectual property). Second task is 1 hr (send pessimist to herd plants). Currently working on that one now. This is third day in a row that the first task is definitely different than Bunny’s list. And there always seems to be a group of us for some reason. I have completed all the daily tasks in time for each day too, it’s not carryover. I wonder why that is unless it’s the Stonecutter glitch that someone else posted on yesterday.
Has anyone else noticed that when trying to tap the roaming plants the game registers it as tapping almost anything else EXCEPT the plants? Buildings, other characters, money, etc.
Happy tapping,
tonflo1
I have that tapping issue with the seedlings, not the mutant veggies. I miss them all the time because I tap, and it registers as tapping the building behind them or something and they just zoom on by and disappear.
I got 4,1,4,1. I think this is day 3 or 4 where the first one is different & the rest match Bunny’s list.
seond and third task was 2 hrs each third task almost done.
