Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well good morning to everyone…and what a Godly morning it is in Springfield as the Homer the Heretic mini-event, the event about Homer sampling a variety of religions, has hit our games!
We’ve all been waiting, and waiting, for the items teased before Christmas to hit our games and the time has finally arrived!
Let me note first that the Mystery Box is gone, as is the Gnome in Your Home Game, as the in game timer has finally run out on both of those.
And one more note, this event will trigger for you if you’re at Level 15 and have started Is There An Al Coholic Here Pt 1. (the questline to get Marge)
Things get started with some dialogue between Homer and Marge followed by a 6s task for Homer. This will launch the mini event, and will be followed by a 4hr task for both Apu and Homer. (this will unlock Sunday Morning Homer)
So now let’s take a look at the rest of the details for this mini event….
Remember this is an automatic update in your game. Nothing to download. So if you’re not seeing it, and you’ve reached Level 15 or higher and started Is There An Al Coholic Here Pt. 1, try hard closing and restarting TSTO (and your device). If you still don’t see it try uninstalling and reinstalling TSTO.
The Homer the Heretic Event Ends January 18th
This event is laid out like the previous mini events we’ve seen, (Most recently Thanksgiving 2016 (Most Dangerous Game)) . Where you follow a series of tasks to unlock prizes. The prizes could be items, they could be skins for a character or they could just be animated tasks for existing characters. We’ll cover the rundown of how you unlock each prize in the Turbo Tappin’ Post (I’ll have that up later today). First, let’s get started with the new items that appear in the store…
New stuff…
Brother Faith and his Van- 110 Donuts
Fake Toll Booth- 30 Donut
Returning
Father Sean- 135 Donuts, 35 Donuts rebate. Net 100 donuts. Yes, Fr. Sean makes a rare appearance for this event. Fitting. Should I Buy (thanks to a few of you in the comments for confirming and telling me about the rebates)
Sponsored Church- 10 Donuts. This is a facade for the First Church of Springfield.
For those of you looking for Rabbi K (as is shown in the Character Set AND the event panels) he’ll be hitting our games in about a week. He will be premium, so save up those donuts. Right now he’s projected to cost around 150 donuts, BUT EA can change that at any time before he’s actually in the store.
Now let’s talk about the prizes…. (and again I’ll have the breakdown on how to get each one in the Turbo Tappin’ post, which will be up later today)
Sunday Morning Homer 100
Greet Animal Friends Animation 260
Perfect Beer Truck 460
Dance in Underwear Animation 700
Hamburger Heaven 980
Cut-Glass Cathedral Tasks
You may have noticed I used for the prizes, this is Karma and the item you’ll need to collect to unlock the prizes.
How do you earn Karma? Well just like other mini events you can earn Karma by sending various characters on 4hr tasks. Freemium characters earn 10 each task and Premium characters earn 20 each task.
Brother Faith, the new premium character, will help earn Karma. (Crazy Cat Lady is the other Premium character that will help)
I’ll break down who can help earn for each task in the Turbo Tappin’ Post. But for Part 1, which will be 4hrs, you’ll need Homer, Moe, Apu, Kirk & Bart.
After you complete Pt.1 you will also unlock the Penny Fountain (for free)
This will earn you 1 Karma every 5 minutes, and will max out at 60 over a 5hr period.
And that’s it my friends, all there is to the Homer the Heretic Event!
