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!
Mortician Carriage and Frontier Cemetery – I LOVE these decorations. Perfect for Halloween decor. I’m really liking this interesting event. Love all of the decorations. The rocks and boulders are so great and add so much to the decoration of desert and forests. Love the cool little (soon to be ) ghost town buildings. I think they ( EA ) have been really generous with the amount of buildings and decorations this time. Love the horses, and fence…and stables and water trough. 🙂
Agreed. I want to psyched about the western theme but it’s a lot of fun. Personally I love the rocks. No idea how I’ll settle on a design but waiting until everything is there. Problem is I have a perfect placing for Carl’s Dad Caverns but no room!
NEW FAVOURITE ANIMATION???!?
http://i.imgur.com/TxSoGVV.jpg
Oh, so you’re that neighbor who still has their Christmas decorations up till Summer? 😉
LOL I LIKE THE BLUE LIGHTS 😆
Would like to have smaller rocks available the larger ones do not fit into my design. Also got the hot springs & wanted two but could not get more. Would like to have more decorations to purchase for the Western town.
My game crashed while I was placing the water tower, and now it seems to be missing. I got the second prize, the 100 coins, and still no water tower. Did this happen to anyone else?
If it’s not in your inventory the only way to get it back is to contact EA.
Wow. That was a miserable experience. 52 minutes later and they told me to call back tomorrow so the servers have at least 24 hours to update.
So I tried again, described the entire issue all over and waited on hold for what seemed like forever only to have the rep hang up on me. I guess the Wild West area of my Springfield is going to be a dry county.
The first thing I always do before I start talking to any company rep about the problem for which I called is to get their name and company ID or Rep ID, whatever they used. That makes sure they know I can refer to their “assistance” in a follow up call to their supervision. It seems to help me. I can not remember the last time I was place on hold and they ‘let go’.
I missed out on the final prizes for act 1 and 2. I just had another baby so i’m very busy 🙂
Congrats! 🙂 on the new addition, not for missing prizes lol
What I don’t like about this event: Can’t do anything with excess trading currency (guns, picks, etc) once you have completed the prize track. At least with the Casino event you could buy fountains, spotlights, etc. I’ll stay in it for the buildings but this event is not quite up to par.
I wish they would have brought brandien back she would fit rite in
Hmm, the prize track seems pretty underwhelming, and so far there’s squat on the offering except for Prairie Maggie.
Eh, I think the Wild West update is a little lame,
I’m really waiting for discounted characters (always looking for a sale with hard earned doughnuts)
Okay, I know it’s a nit, but does anyone else find the mission a little too squished into the saloon? I really dislike the spacing. 🙁
Even more than the spacing on the mission and saloon, have you noticed how some of the horses we recently got are as tall as some buildings? That really annoyed me at first but I forgot and only remembered just now when I saw your comment. 🙂
I also noticed I have a baby riding an eagle. A double agent lizard man. A Gay man riding around town on the shoulders of an alien. A twonicorn that vomits rainbows. And many other things that make me realize, you have to use Yr imagination.
Seriously, look at the hitched horse compared to the general store. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE
I did reorient my plaza so that the mission is on the right, and it looks much better that way.
Noted!! The spacing bugged me as well.
Anyone else unable to send Lisa to Ominously Warn or Springfielders to Overreact? When I click on the quest item it just takes me to the town square, when I click on lisa there is no Ominously Warn task…not even greyed out.
Plaza, start a craze, select Lisa…
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Always repeat.
I have the same problem, but I think it’s because I’ve still got characters earning guns. Previously, we could stagger with different currencies, but I’m hoping it will be resolved it I let everyone else finish and then start Lisa’s Ominous Warning.
Is there supposed to be a limit at the store cuz I can’t make anymore trades but have pickaxes and stuff to trade still. A picture came up saying something but I tapped it away before I could read what it said
Yup…there has been a limit the entire time. Every act. I haven’t written up the act 3 limits yet but here are the posts about Acts 1 and 2

http://tstoaddicts.com/2016/05/06/wild-west-101-general-store-act-2/
Cool thanks ..I must jus not of had enough resources before because hadn’t noticed. I seemed to be ahead and finished last week early so kept saving and now every day have maxed it out easy and spend rest of day topping it up.mostly just need coins and hats 😁
is it me or are we getting less bandits then with the previous acts?
Can’t wait for the graveyard. Maggie looks cute but she’s drinking milk at Moe’s so will have to wait
I cant wait for this event to be over.
Will I get my gold coins?
I had lots of pick axes, hats and guns which I traded in for dynamite. I did this early this morning before I left for work. I haven’t unlocked the ability to earn gold coins yet, but I almost have enough dynamite for prize number 3. Will I get the 200 coins from prize number 2, or did I mess that up?
You should…if not contact EA
You only get 100 coins from prize #2. It will show up once the icon for coins join the pick axes, hats, guns.
However it will take a bit of time to register but will be there. At least that is how it showed up for me once the Mission was built and Homer finds the gold coin.
I did the same and thing and I DID get those coins, plus 4 more from somewhere. As soon as Lisa’s dialogue about the coins is over, the tally appeared.
As for advancing the Act 3 main quest and earning coins via the saloon, it will have to wait until after lunch because my daily challenge is Homer is riling people up.
The task didn’t start for me & Lisa is free….am I missing something?
Did you finish the Act 1 questline?
I still have tasks for homer, Bart, & Lisa for previous acts but I thought you didn’t have to finish those……
The side quests, no. But the ones for the main questline…yes.
Do you have the gold pan icon in your task book?
I do….make homer have a playdate….😣
That was it! Not sure how I missed that bummer had to rush through it…..need to pay more attention! Thanks so much for you help!
If it wasn’t for the cap on the general store, I could’ve gotten to probably the fourth or fifth prize this morning. I had over 2000 of all the resources, and as it is I’e already unlocked the cemetary, thanks to making trades and then topping off with bandits. Not bad!
heh 2000, and here I am with 30k pickaxes 25k hats and 14k guns. They just shovel the resources at you. I never once did anything but guns in Act 2. Its strange having so many resources and not completing the last prize till the last day. Its all decidedly less stressful for it. Would not mind something to do with all these things though.
Not sure if Bunny will be well enough to put together a calendar as quick as usual but here’s my rough workings. For those already worrying about collection targets, I’ve set myself a target of collecting 2190 dynamite a day. Not as accurate or as pretty as Bunny’s offering but hey we can’t all be that perfect. 😀
18th – 2190
19th – 4380
20th – 6570
21st – 8760
22nd – 10950
23rd – 13140
24th – 15330
25th – 17520
26th – 19170
27th – 21330
28th – 23520
29th – 25710
30th – 28370
It’s pretty accurate. Unless Bunny changes her formula the calendar will have a daily target of 2183 dynamite/day.
I am not getting TNT from clearing prospectors in my town, only one of the general store currencies (pickaxes, hats, guns, coins). I am getting both (TNT and one of the g-store currencies) from clearing bandits, but not from the prospectors. Should this be the case or not? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
That’s normal. Bandits give event currency + crafting resources, prospectors only give crafting resources.
Perfect. Thanks Becca! I couldn’t remember what I was getting from the prospectors during the first two Acts and had an uneasy feeling when I thought my game might have gone screwy.
Does the Maggie costume come with a 16 hour task? Otherwise I don’t see the point in getting it.
Thanks
I haven’t even checked yet…community?
No 16 hour task, I jumped right on buying her even though I’m a freemium player.
Prairie Maggie’s 24hrs task “Dream Of Cute Animals” are at simpson house.
and no 16hrs task.
So, a waste of donuts, IMO
Thanks. Giving Maggie a 24 hour task is whack when you need her every 16 hours to play “Where’s Maggie” donut game.
I always just put her on her 4hr outdoor task repeatedly, and if it is mini-game time while she’s busy I store her and re-populate her from inventory. A 16 hour task would be nice…
“Coming soon – something hot” I’m excited now…!
It is a shame there are no new freebee characters this time, but I do like it when the new buildings become income generating after an event has finished, so I hope that happens this time.
I like my wee Western town in Springfield and I think this event has been quite well executed. I have found it very acheivable though and I understand that others might not be able to log in as often as I can.
Gummy Joe. (Or do you mean for this act?)
Yes, forgive me, I meant this act. Gummy Joe is cool – I like his outdoor tasks.
I did the mission .. I started a craze but we will see what happens because nothing pops up for lisa to do.
Me too
Shame we can’t use the gold coins at the casino!
Gold! …always believe in your soul…*singing*
Ah! Spandau Ballet 🎤
https://youtu.be/gSq8ZBdSxNU
*Still singing* ♡
Not me, I’ve got “TNT” by AC↯DC stuck in my head.
How did you manage to include that symbol??
Can’t wait til this event is over with. Idk why this is so harder than the other events in the past. Can’t seem to get any of the last two prizes Act 1 or 2
In act 3, it won’t let me have Lisa do her thing
Did you build the Mission and do the task with Gummy Joe?
Same here…Mission is built, Gummy Joe has done his thing but it won’t let Lisa or the Springfielders act on Part 2.
Wondering if maybe I have to free up the “Riled Up” group to be able to move forward?
Yes. It’s about starting a craze.
D’oh moment for me, thanks for the affirmation.
I’m finally going to get a cemetery plus the morticians carriage without paying donuts 🤗 I’m lovin it 😃
Thanks for the wee-hours info Alissa! (I’m a Jersey girl who wakes up around 4:30 daily…ugh). So I built the mission, Gummy Joe did his thing, Lisa is free but The Gold, the Dad and the Gummy pt. 2 tasks for Lisa and 5 Springfielders are not available. I visited Krustyland, hard closed, re-started, etc. I read the whole post…what did I miss?
It’s not going to be in her task list. It’s at the town plaza, her task to earn gold coins. Hit start a craze, select Lisa…then select other springfielders to earn coins.
Thanks, the other craze had to finish, I’m good!
I started the Act 3 just an hour ago. Apparently there’s a glitch (such a surprise) with the tasks. After the Mission is built, comes a task for Lisa (“Make Lisa Ominously Warn”) which I press “Do it” but no task for Lisa is highlighted. I have Lisa available, and checking her task list no new task is shown. Weird?
Because it’s not a task in her task list. It’s a task at Town Plaza. Click on Town Plaza and then start a craze. Select Lisa’s name…
Then go back to town plaza and select the task for other springfielders to earn coins. All has to be done via the town plaza.
Oh! That makes sense… Thanks!!!
