Hey there Hoppereenos!
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 | 2hrs |
| 3rd Daily Task | 2hrs |
| 4th Daily Task | 2hrs |
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.)

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.

My task durations have always differed from Bunny’s; yet, they have had a consistent and predictable pattern every day, but one. That day may have been altered because I started my daily tasks much later than usual. This change, however, did not reset the pattern to match Bunny’s list, though. It reverted back to the old pattern as before.
I shall find out if the patch this evening has had an effect on the times of my tasks.
Still making all tasks 75% of the time. . stupid job!!
I just had an in game update but all my characters are doing a job so I don’t know what the update is for
Just a patch
Today is the closest my tasks have come to matching the post – mine were 1, 2, 2 and 2.
Same here.

Every hour on the hour.
Hi everybody! Quick question. Is anyone finding it difficult getting seeds? I have only gotten 5 total over the last two days. Anyway, I hope today will be better.
They are rare, some days you’ll be more than others. Although 5 over 2 days days seem low…how often are you tapping the mutant veggies?
Have not been able to connect to server all morning. Anyone else having this problem? Last time I was connected was 12:00AM last night. It is still not connecting.
Never mind, WIFI issue, not the game.
This may have been noted before, but some of the characters from the last event should probably be categorized into some of these groups. Fallout Boy should count as a youngster, and a number of characters should count as criminals. (They may not be set up to categorize costumes into these groups, but not all of the criminals from the last event were costumes.)
On the other hand, it’s nice that some of the other event-related characters are categorized, like the Space Mutant being a glutton (good call).
It really helps that you have these times posted every day. If the last tasks of the day are going to be four and six hours, it’s good to know well in advance
My spade reward for the final task has decreased from 320 to 150. I did not notice the amounts for the previous tasks. Has this happened to everyone?
Seems like for today every task is paying 150.
I think this happens once you get that last prize.
I was wrong. My wife does not have the last prize but her task is paying 150.
If they all pay 150 then it will be the same as if you complete all 4 for the day. 600 total. Maybe this way just gives a few more to the people who can’t complete all 4 every day.
Makes sense 🙂
Are we meant to craft the farmer’s market before act one is over? I ask because I don’t see many people being able to do it. Thanks.
Nope
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/21/terwilliger-guide-to-crafting-act-one-crafting/
what about if we reach the requirements before the end of act 1? should we go ahead and craft it? or wait to upgrade the hq once act 2 starts and hold off on the farmers market some more? what do you intend to do (if you are in fact able to craft it before the end of act 1)?
I should (depending on how much I get to play this weekend) be able to craft the farmer’s market late Monday. My intention is to craft it as soon as I can.
Thanks
i’m getting general crashing, several times this morning. not necessarily because of cecil, as far as i can tell. for me, this update/event has been a bit glitchy.
My game has reset 🙁 can I contact origin or ea about this I hope I haven’t lost all the donuts and things I have had.
How did it reset? Are you just seeing the Homer video again?
If that’s it, hard close and restart TSTO that should bring it back up 🙂
Thanks for the tip on characters to keep free – I have been using that bunch – Comic Book Guy has read a lot of comics!!
My tasks never seem to sync with your’s – but I think today they may have!
So far just missed out completion on 2 days.
Also just like to say thanks to the neighbours on my and my adopted 2 towns (yeah thanks daughter!) for all the mutant seeds sent – I do try and return where I can spot them – but when using my phone – the text is much faster and miniscule to the eye that I have missed some – sorry folks!
My tasks have always matched up apart from once but that was because I fell asleep before finishing the last task the night before but other than that they have always matched and I only have two premium buildings in my game
I started off with 1 hr, not 2. 2 hr & 2hr to follow so far. Wonder why some of us so frequently have a different first task?

Will we still be earning the same amount of fertiliser in act 2 ie when we tap the mutant veg and seeds? i know spades are gonna be replaced with something else but will that effect the rate of corn and fertiliser collection?
I believe the payouts remain the same. But more items to attack will hit Springfield…
Will the crafting items still beavailable in the next part? Couldnt find an answer and i think its almost impossible to get enought items to get all the crafting items.
Yup they will be. The answer can be found on this post all about crafting

Thank you very much!
My tasks today have been ::
2hrs
1hr
1hr
2hrs
All completed. 😀
My tasks so far have been 1 hour and 2 hours (still finishing that one.)
My daily task times have never matched yours, Bunny.
I did notice something when I didn’t complete the 4th task before midnight (maybe last Saturday night? It was around that date.)
Before that non-completed day ALL my daily tasks were 2 4 6 hours with mostly 4 or 6 hour tasks. It was hard to get it all done in time and pretty tedious that it was always like that.
After that non-complete day the task times have been much more humane for me – mostly 1 2 4 hour tasks. There haven’t been any days with both a 4 and 6 hour task.
I looked at the rollover numbers to see if that explained how my task hours changed so dramatically but it didn’t agree with those lists. So it seems like what happened for me might simply be an anomoly.
Whatever it is and however it happened I am relieved and grateful! 😉
Finished all tasks yesterday! But started with a 4hr AGAIN today *rolls eyes so much they hurt* Hmph…
Also got a new push notification which was interesting…Sideshow Bob has been apprehended by (neighbour)! Wonder if that means we now get two messages for neighbours visits including the seed one?
Anyhoo hope everyones well today *waves* and smiles : )
Something I’ve noticed today, I’m now getting a different trowel payout for Cecil’s daily tasks, instead of 40 for 1st and 80 for 2nd, both tasks have awarded 150 trowels. Had a look back at other posts and couldn’t see it mentioned, has anyone else seen this in their game?
Just noticed it in my game as well. Not sure if EA made an adjustment, or it’s a glitch. It just happened this morning, as yesterday it was the regular payout.
My first task was only 1 hour and is already finished. 2nd task is 2 hours
This is me too…I saw speculation on another site that it could depend on your having (or not having) certain buildings, such as the supercollided,or Aztec Theater. There’s also another building on the list but it’s another premium that I don’t have either. Could this be the reason for different task lengths? Not sure.
That could be it. But i will say in my B game sometimes my times are off and I have every building and every character in that game as well..
Yet in my C and D games my times always match and they’re both below level 15.
My A game always matches, but I have everything in that game as well..
that makes sense. i’ve noticed one of the daily tasks posted on here before can be doing something at the brown house, but since i currently don’t have any brown houses out right now, i’ve never been hit with that task.
My first task was also an hour
Just started 3rd task. It is 4 hours. Not sure why the times are so much more different than posted this time. They’ve also corresponded before.
I thought that the posting stating that all 4 tasks will be the same 2 hours seemed a little odd.
Ok- anyone else having Cecil’s tasks crash the game today? Nothing else seems to crash it – and it hasn’t crashed on me before today…
I’ve been ok so far…anyone else?
Another option is to store the building associated with the character you need, and then re-reading it. This will get them out of the task they’re working when you need them, instead of leaving several characters idle, just in case.
That’s what I do, too. I’ve only rarely needed to bump a character out of a job to go on one of Cecil’s tasks.
I forgot about that, thanks.
