Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Because all Superheroes need a sequel…Superheroes 2 has found its way into our pocket sized Springfields! This super event hit our devices…and with it arrived a whole new Event to make us scratch our heads, and drive us slightly insane. 😉
And on that insane note, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite topic….CRAFTING!
Love it or hate it, EA has proven over the last year + that crafting is here to stay. 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. And, as with all things, for some events crafting is easier than others. Luckily for us, this event crafting is pretty simple and straight forward. EA has really fine tuned their message for this event..
Now I know some of you still have questions about what to craft, if you should wait or craft now and what will happen in future Issues of Superheroes 2…so as we’ve done in the past, we’re here to breakdown all the crafting fun for you guys. So let’s take a look at the complete guide to Crafting in Issue 2…
For those looking for the how tos of crafting, I’ve broken it all down in the Issue 1 post, which you can find here.
And because there are some of you who don’t like to read…just a reminder:
-Issue 2 Craftables LEAVE When Issue 2 Ends. So craft what you want from Issue 2, because when Issue 2 is over…they’re GONE. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you..heck even EA warns you)
–Trading Cards are the ONLY Crafting Currency for the event. So unless EA adds something else, keep collecting Trading Cards because they’ll be used for Issue 3 as well
So assuming you’ve got the basics down…let’s break down each item available for crafting during Issue 2…
Note: i’m excluding the Band-Aids here because we all know what they do by now, and I’ve advised several times not to spend your resources on them. Just say no 😉
Item: Zenith City Billboard
Cost: 335
Size: 1×4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration….a billboard. Just hangs out in Springfield.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 2 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…otherwise I’d save the trading cards for later.
Item: Giant Snake in a Tree
Cost: 835
Size: 2×3
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: Animated decoration, snake’s tongue extends when tapped.
Should I Craft?: Oddly enough this is one item I like for Issue 2 crafting. It’s just a fun animated decoration.
Item: Zenith City Condo/Penthouse/Offices
Cost: 960
Size: Condo: 4×4; Office: 5×5; Penthouse: 3×3
Conform-O-Meter: Each is Indolence +10
Unique: Nope grab as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Buildings, they’ll earn cash and XP. ( $75, 7xp/3hrs)
Should I Craft?: I’ve never been a big fan of these, honestly. I say if you missed them last year go ahead and craft them. Yes these are new but not my thing as I skipped the similar ones last year. Personally….I’d save my cards. I have several of these already and they just sit in inventory.
Item: Zenith City Times
Cost: 960
Size: 4×6
Conform-O-Meter: Consumerism+10
Unique: Yes, only 1 per Springfield
What Does It Do?: Building, earns cash and XP ($150, 13xp/8hrs)
Should I Craft?: Yes. In my opinion, if you don’t already have it, this is the best item of Issue 2. It’s the one building I’ve kept out in my town. It’s got a nice design to it and I live the skyscraper look in Springfield.
Item: Aqua World Wharf
Cost: 2,415
Size: 7×7
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: Nope grab as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Decoration for your Ocean. It is always animated with trashcan fires up top (and black smoke)
Should I Craft?: This is a toss up for me. Personally I think if you’re not doing anything in with the Aqua World items save your cards for Issue 3. Otherwise grab it.
So you’ll need 4,545
Remember…Issue 2 Crafting Items LEAVE When Issue 2 Is Over, on July 12th. So craft everything you want BEFORE Issue 2 Ends (on July 12th) or you’ll miss out!
And that my friends is the complete rundown for Issue 2 Crafting!
