Christmas 2015 101: Crafting Act 2

Posted on December 22, 2015 by Alissa | 63 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!! IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Snow is falling in Springfield and snowmen are being built, Gingerbread is cooking and IT’S CHRISTMAS! May be less enthused about other holidays but Christmas is my favorite! Favorite at home and favorite in TSTO!

For the last year or so, EA has broken up Events into stages. Where every couple of weeks new prizes will be released. They’ve also, over the last year, added an element of crafting to each Event, where you pick which prizes you want and craft accordingly. And they’ve continued both methods into Christmas 2015.

While the prizes themselves are pretty self explanatory, collect this to earn these prizes, crafting is a whole other “animal”. Crafting requires some self direction. You decide what you want and collect the items to craft accordingly. Sometimes this is successful and sometimes it’s not.

We broke down the details on crafting for Act 1 here but now that a new Act has hit, let’s take a look at all the new craftable items added for Act 2…

Christmas 2015 101:Fortress of Lonelitude & Moonshine Shack

Posted on December 22, 2015 by Bunny | 89 comments

Putting this up top as many are overlooking it. You MUST follow Once in a Royal Quimby’s City Questline in order to get each attraction. It starts with the Exotic Petting Zoo, then Reindeer Burger Truck, then Fortress of Lonelitude, then Moonshine Shack. If you do NOT see the part of Quimby’s Questline that triggers the next Attraction, then you’re not complete with the Attraction before it. So to get Reindeer Burger Truck, finish to Level 3 of Exotic Petting Zoo. To get Fortress, finish to Level 3 Reindeer Burger Truck… and so on. You must complete each Attractions requirements to keep Quimby’s Questline going.

Hey there Christmas Miracles?

With all the cool new stuff that is in our silly lil games for Act 2, I figured it may be helpful to give you an idea of just how much help and beneficial upgrading some of the New “Locations” will be to you.

Let’s dive on in and take a look at the Upgrades and tasks for the Fortress of Lonelitude & Moonshine Shack Attractions Continue reading →
