We have had more than a number of players who seem to be in “panic mode” over being “stalled” on Mag Points.
This is a quick post…with rEAl numbers…in graph form…that should help you all Chillax!
There is good and bad…but mostly good.
The Only “Bad” part of all of this…is that the “Final Reward” for earning all of the Mag Points, is a relatively “Meh” Upgraded Gate. Really? That’s it EA? That’s the best you can do for all of that leveling up? Is it a gate to Heaven? Or an Exit to hell? Or is it just a gate that shimmers? It sure as heck isn’t a new character or standout building. I only hope I can sell it for donuts… now THAT would be an “upgrade.”
But…I KNOW that there are tons of you who won’t sleep until you “get everything!” So here is a chart that will help you sleep, even before you finish off the update and go into the “Bonut Round.”

To make this short and sweet……….. You only need 6410 Mag Points to get the gate. And there are 7030 awarded for FREE…just for crafting all available Mag-able items. and earning all of the prizes on the prize track.
YES… The Werewolf…the Castle and Frinkenstein ALL earn MAG Points.
So…CHILLAX!!
(Side note from Alissa…this was also broken down weeks ago in the MAG Points post…here)
I unlocked the final prize for act 3 and got the upgraded gate but the Mag points were not applied to the crafting. I can not upgrage the crafting anymore.
Never mind. I figured it out. Duh silly me
If you buy something at the store related to Halloween, you’ll most likely complete all the MAG points without even knowing it. Gotta say, that entire prize track was kind of a waste of time.
Patric, I did not realize there was panic for the MAG points until I saw your short post! I just maxed out MAG points yesterday.. As a freemium player, you just need to follow the prize tracks and craft items with MAG points to their max. I would commend EA for making sure this is possible playing a normal game..
Some of you mention grand prizes are not worth it but this event has given 3 new characters as prizes which is a huge plus for me! Personally I like the final look of the gate which I will use to decorate my Halloween corner.. It used to be gateless and fenceless.
I’m sure others may find the shipwreck of some use!
So far this has been a great and less stressful event.. All good.
Thanks for the MAG point post. I missed (or forgot) your previous post. ☺
Well thanks for the info Patric, I haven’t really paid much attention to the MAG points and what a poor prize it turned out to be!
I may not get all the prizes because I don’t want to craft anything except the shipwreck.
The good news,
Once you obtain12,348 MAG points. You will receive a free donut!
Whee!
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL, really? I was half expecting easter egg at 10,000 or so, but a single donut for earning 12,000+… seems just silly. Let’s not talk about how many donuts you’d have to spend to wind up with that many MAG points.
Argh…this is feeling a bit like EA is rubbing out our nose in it…
Almost done…with a week to go. BONUT TIME!
Only 300 megaphones 📢 to go!
After 2+ years of playing this game (omg – had it really been that long??), I’ve learned to basically trust EA and not worry about this kind of stuff. As long as you play roughly every four hours, at least three or four visits a day (and play somewhat intelligently, using strategies that you read about here from posts and comments:, you should be able to finish whatever “tracks” EA sets up. EA wants faithful players to be able to do that and, on three occasions where they’ve misjudged something and set it up so that wasn’t going to be the case, they’ve always made adjustments later in the event to fix that.
So, bottom line, when it comes to worrying about whether something in an event in this game is possible (even for a freemium player), just remember this two-word mantra, “Trust EA.”
Yep, EA is not out to try and make anyone fail.
They may do stupid things sometimes………………………………..
Sometimes?
Let us simply say that EA’s logic path is not easily discernible.
There is no logic in the cartoon, therefore no logic in the game.
I want more than one gate.
Me too. Maybe it will be offered for donuts at the end/just after the event. I would think somewhere around 10-15 donuts would be appropriate.
Me three.
I have the final upgrade of the Medieval Gate but it always reverts to the original, basic version of the gate when I drop out of the game. I have the same issue with the Players Club Tower where it never remembers my choice and reverts. Is this an issue for other players – have you covered this before? (sorry if you have!)
Yes, with the Players Club Tower, although during this event it has remained where I chose. Hopefully that will continue afterwards.
The Players Club tower (and the Homerlayas, and Burns’ Summer Mansion, and some other stuff) revert when you play the chili cauldron game…that hasn’t changed with this event. My guess is that the event may have just kept you to distracted to play the chili cauldron game, which is why you haven’t seen your Player’s Tower revert during this event.
That only happens to me if I play the cauldron mini-game (which I never do anymore). It also resets the mountain heads (Homer, Bart etc) and the Summer Mansion wings
It’s a glitch from playing Homers chili pot game thing
Eughhh. Gate. That is all.
Secured the gate a few days back – as others have said, the same gate upgraded three times is a pretty lame prize. Add to that the hugely underwhelming shipwreck (which I got yesterday) and I’m not sure why anyone is worrying about it. Not only are they achievable but once you have them, I doubt you’ll be dancing the happy dance that you’ve added them to your towns. A Meh-prize for me.
Those mag point bunus item are for the most part lame.
A gate w/ three separate upgrades?
How underwhelming.
I don’t care if I finish.
Not worth the grind.
“Not worth the grind.”
Agreed.
There are only a few craftables I care about and will probably have leftover currency because I don’t need more stuff.
There is nothing else I want to craft and I could care less about the gate or the shipwreck. Just want to keep going to get Frinkenstein.
Wanted the house on scary hill, but it disappeared before I had enough sprinklies.
Just about to the Shipwreck which will provide the last needed points. I did buy Iguana Lady and Zombie Sandwich which helped (had to have Springfield zombies year round!)
May thought exactly!
I love the Zombie Sandwich in my “B” town !!!
I’m ready for Xmas stuff. Bring it on EA…
So am I. Close to getting Frinkenstein.
Now I am charging my gamecash-to-donuts machine with enough cash to achieve those pinke sprinkels.
I hope EA will use the Christmas trees and Elf Gun gain for getting event cash.
LOVE the Elf gun !!!
Almost as fun as bopping bunnies back in an Easter event.
I got Frankenstein 👹👽💀☠️
Bloody autocorrect!
I ment Frinkenstein?
Best case for me, tonight, else tomorrow morning
I got the upgraded gate ages ago, don’t know how but I think buying a lot of the premium items helped. Really disappointing reward as well! The upgraded gate actually looked okay but it is small in terms of height.
Seems a very helpful post for those fretting – thanks Pat!
I was prepared for Halloween, by saving all my (b)(d)onuts for this Halloween, so I was able o by most of the premium stuff. It wouldn’t happen again I missed out on the endprizis. Now I have 3,500 MAG points too many. Somewhat of an overkill.
Oh well 😔 I like the stuff I bought, so why I am I complaining?
Quite a few craftables that have MAG point that I had no interest in so I will not craft them.
I don’t understand the reason for a duplicate post, but you forgot to add Crazy Iguana Lady gives MAG Points too (200)
Because people are panicking and not reading the original post…every day we see more and more comments about people freaking out over the MAG points.
Probably your biggest frustration with running a blog. (people NOT reading the posts)
Yes. Absolutely.
I read your blog from cover to cover 📖
People are acting like Mr. Jones from Dad’s Army:

For the most part, we are freemium players and just finished acquiring all of the MAG points. If you play the game and craft some items, it will happen. In fact, we blew through the final two MAG rewards at one time by working through the main prize track. And honestly I didn’t even notice the “gate upgrade” until I checked our MAG status 😉. Good Luck!
I like, that this event is well balanced and things are falling into place with a moderate amount of tapping. I am 180 MAG points away from the last gate upgrade. The only premium item I got was Booberella, and I don’t think she even came with MAG points. So, just playing four times a day was enough to do this whole event (I am assuming I will complete the prize track as planned).
I also have all the crafting prizes and there is no useless currency leftovers like the failed futurebucks experiment.
The only, minor gripe i may have is the total duration of the event – but I guess for a game that has been providing content for years now, it is acceptable that they stretch out their phases at this point.
Did not realise this one was particularly challenging. Unlocked the final gate upgrade a few days ago. Only premium item I have purchased was Crazy Cat (sorry Iguana lady) which I thought came with some MAG points (though did not notice in the list above).
Lol, yes… all (fairly) easily doable for free.
EA just makes you sweat it a bit because they put a /lot/ of MAG points in those last few items. 🙂
Seriously?
Anyone is fretting because they may not get the last gate??
Total chillax.
