Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Welcome to the wee early morning hours…at least here on the East Coast and Act 2 of the Winter Event 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 this for you with dialogue between her and Willie. This will be followed by two 6s tasks, one for Lisa and then one for Homer. You’ll then unlock a new skin for Willie, and that’ll be followed by a 12hr task for Lovejoy, 1hr task for Willie, and 3 Anti Pagans.
Act 2 runs until December 30th
Just what does Act 2 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
New Prize Currency for Act 2.
Brooches
So the ability to earn Antlers is now gone. Your counter prize track for Act 2 has reset to zero because you have zero Brooches. So forget about the Antlers and now it’s time to start over with Brooches.
You’ll earn Brooches very similar to how you earned Antlers in Act 1….
-Trade Ins at Spring Henge Earning Varies
-Tapping Pagans in your Springfield and Your Neighbors (Earns 15)
-Daily Challenges ( Earning Varies)
-Spirit Tree, if Purchased
-Simpsons Dancing Around the Pagan Bonfire (if Purchased)
-Placing craftable items ( earning varies)
Pagan Changes
The Pagans have a new look…
And they’ll yield 15 , 4 
and 1 
per tap. And for those curious..because I never post this for Act 1…they spawn at a rate of ever 10 minutes, there’s a max of 15 allowed in your town with a bank of 15.
Offering (Springhenge Changes)
Catnip and Figurines are no longer available to earn.
Instead for Act 2 you’ll have two new items to collect for offerings to trade in..
Chicken Fingers
and
Book of Shadows
These items can be collected via tasks in the game, except they’ll take places at new locations Springfield Library (Book of Shadows) and Moe’s Tavern (Chicken Fingers).
4hr task at each location, 15 for freemium, 25 for premium payout
The characters are pretty much the same…
Here’s who can earn the Book of Shadows:
Crazy Cat Lady
Ling
Lisa
Milhouse
Skinner
Bart
Martin
Comic Book Guy
And the Wicans (premium purchase)
And here’s who can earn Chicken Fingers:
Patches and Poor Violet
Gino
Homer
Krusty
Moe
Wiggum
Luigi
Grampa
Satyr Willie
You’ll get him for free once you complete the first two 6s tasks with Lisa and Homer at the start of Act 2.
Gnome Changes
The Gnome now pays out , rates are the same and based on your Gnome Level.
Act 2 Personal Prizes
Devil Snowman- 5,200
Goblet of 250 Runestones- 12,150
Ba’al Pit– 23,500
Ravencrow Neversmiles– 38,850 (skin for Lisa)
Chest of 400 Runestones- 47,050
Wickerman- 57,500
Sacrafice your Sheep to Odin & Star Snowsuit Maggie- 74,950 (Skin for Maggie)
Bonuts are still there after prize track is complete.
Act 1 Prizes…
If 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 buy each one left at the point you left off at. (Just like every other event recently.)
Act 2 Crafting
Crafting remains, as it was during Act 1, for Act 2.
You can still earn Runestones for crafting by tapping Pagans and completing hand-ins at Springhenge daily. You’ll also earn some via the prize track.
New Items in the Store..
Pagan Membership- Price as dropped to 30 Donuts…not worth it…
The Wiccans- 110 Donuts (Character, some of you are reporting a bonus % with them. If you see one, it’s a mistake. They’re characters so they shouldn’t come with one. Odds are if you see it, it’ll be taken away. So don’t buy them based on a bonus %. Again they’re Characters.)
Returning
Baby Gerald- 100 Donuts
White Witch Burns- 60 Donuts, Should I Buy
King Winter and His Cave- 175 Donuts, with a 75 Donut Rebate. Net 100 Donuts, Should I Buy
Important to note this is just phase one of Act 2, lots more stuff coming on December 21st for Act 2…so if you don’t see something you thought was coming, it’s likely because it hasn’t hit yet. And is expected to hit on the 21st…
And before you ask…
Here’s a list of posts we’re working on that should be up soon…
-Act 2 Calendar
-Act 2 walkthrough
-SIB for New Content
-And more!
However, keep in mind today is Sunday. So we will not have any more postings today, beyond the Open Thread. More content will come your way tomorrow, as it’s still important for us to take the day and spend time with our families.
And that my friends concludes the quick rundown of the Winter Event Act 2!
Remember this is just a quick rundown…as we have time to play through Act 2 ourselves we’ll break everything down in more detail. If you need help with the basics check out the Winter Event Page in the meantime.
Thoughts on Act 2? Just like Act 1? Excited about these prizes? How’d you do with your Act 1 prizes? Will you be buying any of the new premium items? Sound off in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you!
Does King Winter help with act 2 of the event?
Yes, he earns event currency.
Thank you. Stay warm! 🙂
Did we keep the catnip and statues like you said we would?
Um I never said you would. I said all along I wasn’t 100% sure but I was playing as if they would. Including posting this last night
http://tstoaddicts.com/2016/12/17/two-things-about-winter-act-1-ending-and-act-2-starting-day-13-catnipfigurines/
Dude, boot up the game and find out for yourself.
The Wiccans. The first time they have done a trio together instead of separate characters in a bundle. Already bought them for my collection.
Sorry for the negativity but I look at these new lots prizes to collect for Act 2 and Think I have to dedicate my time & regular tapping for this!!! “Sigh”!!! Oh well!! Keep tappin away.
well i missed out on about 3 bonut rolls trying to save catnip and figurines for act 2
So the daily turns in have reset, was there actually a prize for the day 13 turn in?
No it was stones
Also i think people are reading the Wiccan info wrong. It’s not a conformity bonus. Like Terri & Sherri, and patches & violet, it’s a cluster of multiple, taskable characters. You get 3.5x payout on their tasks as apposed to it just being 3x (1 for each member).
Except that they don’t seem to be at the moment; prob’ly get fixed soon, though.
Seems that King winter and his cave now adds 4.5% on all tasks and XP. I guess this will change your opinion on this buy?
Just an FYI to all.
I saved my neighbour actions for the change over to act 2. As it stands, the new look pagans are paying out 4 runestones for the first 30 friend actions compared to 2 each for the act 1 pagans. Probably not intended, but make the most of it!
Please forgive me in advance but…
The last daily hand in challenge was the last one now the first one on the act 2 and I heard something about gift cards or something like that all the returning items aren’t offered cause this game has gotten way to much of My money for donuts and I have them all but I really want to know when the candy cane guy is going to be offered so I can complete that set again thanks to all of you for all that you do stay safe and warm
You all have saved me from going nuts on several occasions
It’s nice and warm here in Hawaii 😎🌴🌞⛱🌡🌊

Man, I missed out on act 1 big time, anyone else? I didn’t even get to the burns skin. I played a lot too, bung.
I think I did three taps a day on my “b” town and finished
Act 2 gets a “bah humbug” from me. I did appreciate how many rounds of bonuts I got from Act 1 but if that’s the best one can say about an act… I was hoping for more from Act 2 and feel let down by the prizes and additions (ba’al pit made me laugh though; I appreciate a bad pun). Still, there seem to be new things appearing each day (for which this site is again invaluable; thank you).
I sure wish we could buy some more reindeer again. Maybe next Christmas event…
Reindeer…Yes! I just have one who I move around here and there haha.
Hoo boy, waiting for the poop storm from people who stockpiled catnip and figurines…
It’s funny because I never said it would…
I don’t know why there would be a complaint. If anyone had enough to get bonuts, they should have used them. Otherwise, what’s the loss?
Yeah, but since when has everyone acted sensibly all at the same time?
Still, I’m vey peasantly surprised that the storm hasn’t hit so far.
What happened to the Day 13 daily prize? I got 1-12 but 13 never unlocked for me.
It reset the prize is the same

If the Wiccans have do have a 350%, (similar to S&T’s 200%), it’s a must buy for me. But if not, I’ll pass. In the game, it says he Winter Kings Cave has a 4.5%, but the old SIB post says it has a 1.5% multiplier. Did EA raise the percentage, or is it a typo? If it’s at a higher rate, plus rebate donuts, it’s must must must grab. Keep up the good work, best addict site ever!
As an FYI, the Wiccans can earn chicken fingers too. They are an either or group.
Grr. I was thinking that we had 1 more days since there was still an entry lock in the daily prize. I lost a lot of things that I could have converted in woods for donuts. Did people received the last things that looks like a tiger head in the daily prize ?
As always great job getting on top of things as soon as it hits thanks again for the GREAT SITE

Also can’t wait to see the new items sib content.!
A good day to TSTO addicts, one and all!
This Winter 2016 offering of 4.5% with King Winter and his cave, would this be a typo on EA’s part? The SIB on this was 1.5%.
Thank you 😊 all for the updates!
Thanks Alissa for getting this post up so quickly. I know it’s ‘too early’ o’clock over there 🙂
Bought The Wiccans and King Winter right away. I was so proud of saving up nearly 300 Donuts and now I am back to 76.. (Thanks to the 75 Discount)
The Wiccans’ job tasks earn 350% more. I don’t think that’s a mistake. Most of the characters that are available for purchase that do not come with a decoration or building have a bonus % for their tasks.
I dont have any pacans in my Springfield. I suppose, that is not right. Anyone else?
Uninspiring event , just not feeling Christmassy. The wicker man looks like a nice prize , but still would of preferred the wicker Lisa . But hey I’ll still be tappin like crazy 😜. Ty for the quick post
Maybe he is going to be huge like burning man.
He’d better have an on-fire option!
I didnt see the option to start the 2 6s tasks to unlock satyr willie. Anyone else?
Haven’t seen it either. Lisa had a 6s task. Then dialog led me to have Homer binge on chicken fingers which is a 4 hr task.
350% bonus for the wiccans? Is this right?
They’re not supposed to have one, they’re characters…so it’s a mistake somewhere
I think they earn 350% of freemium characters on tasks…?
It says that when you click on the info star for them in the store. It’s not a bonus percent. They earn 350% more on jobs. So it’s the premium bonus on their jobs, plus they earn as 3 characters, like Sherri and Terri or Patches and Poor Violet, except it’s a group of 3 instead of 2.
I think it says 350% extra cash and XP for jobs, rather than adding to your overall bonus. Not sure whether that means they pay out at 450% or 350%. Will edit when I find out.
Couldn’t edit.
…and the answer is…neither! They just pay out on tasks like a regular premium character. Something odd going on, so you are right to urge buyer’s caution.
Doesn’t it just mean that they earn 350% more than a single non-premium character? After all, they’re a group character, and there’s three of them.
They should earn at the normal premium rate then? 350% is too high?
I have 350 but I think it says for their jobs etc
I think it just means their job payouts, which *should* have a bonus being premium. Terry and Sherry are 250%, so this being 3 characters (probably as one?) means 350% payouts on their tasks.
Someone buy it and tell us how much their 24h or 1h task earns and that will tell us.
It’s not a percent. It’s a payout for tasks completed. Think of it as a super premium character.
Well it’s kind of a percent. The triple character pays out a a 350 % bonus on all tasks completed. So the character plays as one character, but is really three in one.
In the information box before u buy wiccans it says it comes with a 350% bonus.
Looks like it means the characters the base amount + 50%
So if ONE character would earn 90 dollars, three characters would earn 90+90+90+45 (which would be the 50% bonus). So 90+90+90+45 = 315. OR 90 X 350% = 315..
Does it mean, possibly with a typo or bad wording, that they earn 3.5x a standard premium character (analogous to Sherri & Terri being 1 character but earning like 2)?
Likely
I think it said the 350% bonus is for tasks the wiccans do, so if you send them on a 4 hour task, they payout for that one task is 350% of a normal character doing a 4 hour task.
It doesn’t say 350% bonus it says “character’s jobs earn 350% more money” so they’re better than triple premium but don’t affect anything else.
It think it is just for there jobs like the 50% bonus on premium characters
At least the german version says “350% bonus for jobs of THIS CHARACTER”, so pretty much the same as Sherri and Terri but no bonus for ALL jobs.
I think it’s that they’re supposed to earn 350% more money than a typical character as it’s a “trio” of premium characters, not that they give your entire town 350% increased revenue.
Mine shows that they earn 350% more than the normal rate. No bonus.
its 350% to their jobs not global, just like twins have 200%.
But since its 3 of them all linked most likely.
And the SIB for King Winter states its 1.5%? but in game it says 4.5% to all tasks meaning the building itself would be 90donuts already but you get extra character 😀
Can anyone confirm if its 1.5 or 4.5% pls? 😀
It isn’t a bonus – as it’s 3 premium characters, it’s stating they earn 350% more than a standard character (at least, that’s how I read it before buying).
I got them just for that reason, but I got a bad feeling i’ll be visiting EA about it.
It says they earn 350%more than regular characters. Not a 350%bonus on everything.
I think they earn 350% more XP and $ on character jobs because they’re premium and three of them… not bonus %. But I could be wrong.
Morning! Im awake!!
Was looking to get a head start on act 2 before getting to sleep, but most of the ones that can do any related jobs are still over 2 hours away from finishing the act 1 jobs at the farm and shack Pfft.
Won’t let me store either, so I guess I really start when I wake up
(BTW, thanks for the continued great help this site provides. And, a typo? Post states it’s just the beginning of act 1 before the 21st.. Did you mean act 2?)
Yup typo, thanks 🙂
