Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Welcome to the wee early morning hours…at least here on the East Coast. It’s just after 4am…and the showdown begins at dawn! So much for high noon! Act 3 of the Wild West is upon us…so have at it my friends!
Remember…this is an automatic change in your game. Nothing to download, it should just start up in your game..
Lisa will start things off for you with a task for to build the Mission. You’ll need 3 saints for 30s, and Gummy Joe for an hr. This is followed by a 4hr task for Lisa and 5 others at Town Plaza.
Just what does Act 3 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
New Prize Currency for Act 3..
Dynomite (TNT)…because it’s not the Old West without some explosives…
So the ability to earn Badges is now gone. Your counter prize track for Act 3 has reset to 0..because you have 0 TNT. So forget about the Badges and now it’s time to start over TNT.
You’ll earn TNT the same way you earned Badges in Act 2…
-Tapping Bandits
-Tapping Prospectors (and sending them)
-Wanted Bandit
-Hand Ins at the General Store….(tasks at the Town Plaza)
Act 3 Personal Prizes
Frontier Water Tower- 1,190 
100 Gold Coins- 1,910
Mortician Carriage and Frontier Cemetery- 3,980
200 Six Shooters- 6,050
Blacksmith and Part & Parcel Post- 9.470
100 Gold Coins- 14,780
Longshot Skinner- 19,280
400 Hats- 23,420
Carl’s Dad Caverns- 28,370
Act 2 Prizes…
F you didn’t collect them all… you can still access them by tapping on the “ACT ONE PRIZES” tab in the Personal Prizes area. As you can no longer collect items for them, your only option now is to pay donuts to outright by each one left at the point you left off at. (just like every other event)
New Currency For Trading in at the General Store…
As I’m sure you gathered from the prize list above, there’s a new item to trade in at the General Store….Gold Coins
Pickaxes, Hats & six shooters are still around, the Coin just adds another depth to everything. We’ll break it all down in a new General Store post for Act 3…
You won’t see these until after you build the Mission…
New Items in the Store..
Prairie Maggie- 65 Donuts, Skin for Maggie
Sneed’s Feed & Seed- 90 Donuts
Hot Springs- 45 Donuts, Earns a 2.25% Bonus
Some items from Act 1 and Act 2 General Store Prizes (Trough, barrel etc) are available for donuts. They do not earn bonus %.
Characters that Have Tasks..
Same as act 1 and act 2…
Lisa now has a task at Town Plaza. In addition Lisa will now be able to start a Craze to earn Coins.
This won’t start until after you’ve built the Mission.
Again, we’ll break this all down in detail when it’s not the crack of dawn here 😉
And before you ask…
Here’s a list of posts we’re working on that should be up soon…
-Act 3 Calendar
-Act 3 walkthrough
-SIB for New Content
-General Store Breakdown, including prizes and caps
-And more!
And that my friends concludes the quick rundown of the Wild West Event Act 3!
Remember this is just a quick rundown…as we have time to play through Act 3 ourselves we’ll break everything down in more detail. If you need help with the basics check out the Wild West Event page…in the meantime.
Thoughts on Act 3? Just like Act 2? Excited about these prizes? How’d you do with your Act 2 prizes? Will you be buying any of the new premium items? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Nevermind….paid donuts & got it. Impatience is my middle name!
Wow you are so premium!
ImPATTIence is your middle name😄
Yeehaw! almost have prize 3 already 😛
Bought Prairie Maggie obviously. I’m doing the quest now and she has 2 locked VISUAL tasks, one is called “Fly Free” and one has something to do with talking to animals!! So excited to see those in action! Ran through all the general store tasks for today already, the wagon is pretty neat. Most excited for Carl’s Dad’s Caverns, and the hot spring looks neat too…
Doesn’t anyone have problem with the dad, the gold and the gummy pt 2? I can’t send Lisa and other Springfielders to the tasks. It just goes straight to saloon.
Beacuse the task is at the Plaza. Tap on the plaza, hit start a craze. Then select Lisa, she’ll earn Gold Coins. Then go to the task list for everyone else and select springfielders to earn coins.
Uh-Oh…finished sending Ned, Lovejoy, & Rod to build Mission…& there’s no Mission. I tried to keep sending them since it’s still on their job list–& nothing. A glitch? ????
Won’t appear until after Gummy Joe’s 1hr task is finished.
Probably gonna get Maggie’s costume and Sneed’s weed and seed because Cletus has 6 hour job there got all act one and act two prizes but if I get all nine this time it will be down to wire
This time I did not wait for the SIB. Snapped Maggie right up! Happy tapping neighborienos. (sp?)
Maggie’s 8 hour task at The Simpsons’ house. (She also has a 1 hour visual task)

Oh DaPimp, looking at this image proved costly for me, 65 sprinklies to be exact, you sold me. EA, pay DaPimp their commission for a premium skin well sold.
LOVE IT AWWWW 😍
Soooo cute. I’m going to have a real dilemna when I get this skin because I usually have her dancing to repetitive music (12hrs) with Roscoe, Duffman & Kearney outside of Moe’s 😂…..💜X
That’s adorable all right, but does she have a visual with that Winchester Repeater?
Oops, I mean double-barreled shotgun…
I assume this is a stupid question, but will there be a post on the prarie Maggie skin? Has anyone bought her yet? I stupidly started the 4 hour task to earn guns half an hour before gummy joe was done telling stories, now i have to wait another 3 and a half hours to start Lisa’s task…
lol like it says in the post…before you ask there will be SIBs. There always are (unless it’s simple deco…) 😉
Come on Alissa you know by now anything you put near the middle/end of the post never gets read 😀 If you don’t want it asked multiple times, have it in bold red letters at the top of the post 😀 lol Then the only ones that ask would be color blind 😉
Sorry, i did read the whole post i swear. But my toddler was jumping on me at the time…sooo…. that’s my excuse :-/
lol it’s ok. 🙂
Pretty disappointed with these prizes really. All buildings and one skin? Maybe it is because I am not a big fan of Westerns, but this event feels pretty bland to me.
Thinking I made a tactical error. Should have waited to build the mission until I went thru more of my stored currency. I am guessing I will be bottlenecked by the gold coins.
Love the prizes in this act, the water tower, the carriage. Thinking about getting prairie Maggie 🙂
Don’t think, act!
Lol, indeed. I have 🙂
Allereerst they changed how the trade store works…. You now can “clear the store out” meaning you will not be able to trade in more for a period of time. At least for me 😛
That’s been happening through the whole event.
It’s been like that since Act 1. Just keep trading until you get the message. Perhaps you weren’t trading to the max previously?
Oh it has always being like that in Act 1 and Act 2.
Are Dutch? You’re using the word “allereerst”.
Thanks for the run down 🙂
I wanted to mention for anyone else that may encounter it – I was cashing in the guns, pickaxes and hats I’d accumulated, and shot past the water tower and the 100 gold coins – which didn’t show up anywhere, as I hadn’t gotten that far in the storyline. But once I did they appeared so don’t worry about it 🙂
Prarie Maggie!
A definitely maybe.
I hope my first 100 gold coins are not lost. I have gained them before I’ve got the mission!
I didn’t lose those coins 😊
You all are doing such a wonderful job keeping all of us informed act 3 has only been out for an hour and I came in and saw a helping post about it thanks to all of you
not 1 new character….pretty lame tbh
Gummy Joe…
Maybe they meant…no new characters in act 3.
Gummy Joe.
This was a cool event ready to see how
the story ends.
This is the first event in my 5 years of playing where I’ve missed the final prize in more than one act… I’ve been checking, tapping bandits etc every four hours so I don’t know where I’ve gone wrong! Oh well, fingers crossed I can pick up my game and finish act 3!
Make sure you are changing the craze at the saloon for the supplies you need. Also, turn in supplies at the general store until it says you can’t do anymore today. Good luck. 🙂
See, I’ve been doing that! Only thing I might’ve slacked on was neighbour visits but I still visited and dropped prospectors every 2-3 days at least. Oh well, hopefully I can get it right this act 🙂
Do you have 2 different things being made at the plaza at the same time? For example, the previous craze was hats. I send some characters to make hats again (especially Bart and Marge who can’t make all items). Then I get Snake to start his craze for guns and send the rest of the characters. Hope this makes sense, could make the difference between getting the prizes and not.
I’m sorry you’re having such trouble this time. Just keep plugging away. I hope you get all the prizes you want. 🙂
Coins don’t seem to drop from bandits. First round of trades in general store didn’t require coins , so off to a good start
Just returned from an overnight Senior Citizen trip to RENO RENO, (y’all have to be old enough to remember “that” line), so my internal clock is REALLY messed up, so I’m postin’ now, but…….
The final phase is here!
I just need help in calculatin’ jest how long I have left.
Wake up young un’s, post our calendar, by cracky.
Only 600 more to go to get the Mortuary stuff (a young person MUST be the jokester who thinks that item is funny)
Calendar may be a little while. Bunny’s not home yet, I don’t think.
Good morning, Alissa!
Started Act 3 with lots of crafting items – thanks to you and the TSTO Addicts’ community for the ‘heads up’ about hoarding items instead of cashing in for badges (ignoring the prompt in the task bar to earn more badges).
Love these insights and advice!
Thanks, again.
Sleep well. A couple of busy days ahead…
Shoot – won 100 gold coins before mission bldg was complete. Fingers crossed they show up after mission is done…
I did the same thing and they popped up once the mission was built 🙂
Don’t worry, those coins are not lost. The counter will appear when your mission post is build with 100 golden coins.
I did the same thing as you did.
Ability to earn Badges is not gone. 🙁 The plaza rewarded me Badges, and still lists them for the new jobs with Lisa. I’m getting Dynamite from bandits and DCS. Bugger.
Nevermind… game needed a kick in the butt. One day I’ll learn.
Well, I’m confused because I’m getting dynamite but also clues from tapping bandits….?
Hard close and restart…clues shouldn’t be appearing.
It resolved itself around noon EST. I was still getting dynamite too so I didn’t worry about it.
Clues? Not Badges?? Clues is the first act currency, right?
Yep – but it stopped around noon EST.
You’re tapping bandits left and right
The first gives you hats, the second Dy-no-mite!
Never right to left, though. 😉
Haha, yep! Especially when making nonsensical rhymes at 3 in the morning. 😉
Badges hasn’t changed to tnt yet. Mine still showing badges
If it still hasn’t changed over, hard close and restart
Something flew by so fast that I missed it. I think it was when the gold coins were earned. Something was said that something or someone was now available somewhere. I guess I was to tired for it to register in my feeble brain. Can anybody help me with this?
Gold Coins are from Lisa at the Plaza..
That makes sense, thanks!
I cleaned out my General Store before my Gummy Joe mission finishes… The gold coins were gonna slow me down ! So i thought why not… Got over 3000 from that and still have quite a lot of resources left. Hopefully this wont affect me getting monorail bonuts this week!
Maggie’s 1st outfit – Instant buy!
https://imgur.com/a/poMyJ
Maggie’s got a gun…
I always sing Maggie’s got a gun instead of Janie
Her Springfields’s come undone.
I need a few more outfits so I can play virtual dress-up with my baby.
Woohoo!
Fingers crossed for bonuts, cause bonuts would be dy-no-mite!
I haven’t run it all yet, but I think you’ll be disappointed.
Break those fingers (and break those hearts), Alissa! 🙁
It will be the same as Act 1 & 2. Three bonuts at day 14 by trading 10 bundles of merchandise at the general store.
