Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Level 57 hit our devices last week and with it arrived a long requested character and building…Bell and Maison Derriere! Now I know you may be trying to decide if this is worth YOUR donuts, but don’t sweat it! We’re here to tell you what’s worth the donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Belle to YOUR Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this entertainer to YOUR Springfield!
Building/Decoration: Maison Derriere
Character: Belle
Donut Price: 150 donuts
Earns: $200,22xp/8hrs
Conform-O-Meter: Consumerism +10
Size: 5×10
Level Requirement: Must be at Level 57, unless offered Early Access when the update first hit
Pros:
-Comes with a quest line
-Premium character earns 50% more on all cash and xp than a freemium character
-Several of Belle’s tasks will use Maison Derriere
-Will unlock a task for Belle at Open Air Stage, if you have it
-Will unlock a new 10hr Task for Miss. Hoover at Maison Derriere that pays at a premium rate.
-A highly requested character
Cons:
-Pricey, but not the most expensive combo
-Not voiced
Final Thought:
Premium Take:
Honestly, this is an instant premium grab for me. As you can see from above there aren’t too many cons against it but loads of pros. This is a great buy and a popular character/building combo. This one for me is a Premium player must buy if you’re any kind of a fan of The Simpsons…
Freemium Take:
Freemium players I would add this to your list of something to save up for. It’s another one of those long term goals for a lot of freemium players, in my opinion. It also offers a ton of additional pros, a big one being Miss. Hoover’s premium job there. I’m a fan of the combo and I think it should be on a freemium player’s list of what to save up for.
Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would/wouldn’t do…and I can tell you I will be purchasing this combo. However, this is NOT a Limited-Time Item so take your time with your thought process. Belle will still be there in a few weeks. So if you’re on the fence or worried about saving up your donuts relax..there’s no rush to get her.
