Wild West 2016 Prize Guide: Act 1, Prize 5 Cowboy Homer

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Wild West is alive and well in our Springfields!  As the Wild West Event has hit our games and it’s full of old west inspired decorations, buildings & characters!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Act containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the First Act you’re tasked with collecting Clues () to unlock each prize!

The very fifth Act 1 prize  is awarded at 7490 is Cowboy Homer, because the Cowboy hat helps Homer Cover up the Baldness!

So let’s take a closer look at this fifth prize and just what happens when you unlock him in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 7490you’ll automatically be awarded Cowboy Homer and you’ll see this message popup:

Cowboy Homer will automatically enter into your Springfield.  You won’t have an option to store him

Once he arrives in Springfield you’ll see his character unlock message:

And he’s part of the Old West Simpsons Character Collection:

Cowboy Homer comes with his own questline, and it’ll start right up for you.  However, I DO NOT recommend completing it immediately.  You should continue to use Homer at the Town Plaza to grind for Event Currency.  The questline will still be there…so ignore it for now and continue to use Homer get you event currency.

Here’s a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of his questline…

What’s Next?
Well there is 1 prize after Cowboy Homer, 800 Pickaxes.  I’m not going to do separate posts about them as it’s pretty basic.  Once you unlock it, more pickaxes will be added to your pickaxe total.

Here’s a quick breakdown…

Awarded at 11,360.  This will add 800 Pickaxes to your total Pickaxe count (found in the Event Hub).  This is not a tangible item for Springfield, it’s just 800 Pickaxes added to your total on hand.

Next Tangible Prize for Springfield…

Bank and Top Chop Barber Shop- Awarded at 15,860.  This will be the next prize we cover in a rundown post.

So that my friends is the full breakdown of the fifth (and sixth) Act 1 prize!
