Should I Spend Donuts on the Waterslide Tree?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Time to grab toast as we travel back…wayyyy back…in time with Homer in the all new TTT (Time Travel Toaster) event!  Homer’s taken us back to the Prehistoric Era and we’ve got Dinosaurs, Cavemen & of course other Prehistoric items in our Springfield just tempting us with those sprinkles!

Of course with that limited-time label it can be tempting to buy everything that looks awesome because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add the Waterslide Tree to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this slip, sliding, fossil generator to your town…

Donut Cost: 100 Donuts
Earns: 405 15xp/4hrs, also 965  when placed (Seems that it will convert to the next two Era’s currency as well.  So looks like it’ll be beneficial the whole game)

Pros
-Earns a fair amount of  every 4hrs
-Comes with a bonus % in addition to the Fossil Payout
-Always animated, and a fun little decoration

Cons
-No questline (or even a little bit of dialogue) associated with it
-Expensive
-Bonus % isn’t great for 100 donuts spent

Final Thought
Premium
Don’t buy this because you think you need to it complete the event, you don’t.  If you want to get it, get it because you enjoy the decoration and have a good use for it in your Springfield…otherwise pass.

Freemium
Stay away from this one.  There are far better items to spend your sprinkles on, don’t waste them on this one.  You should have no issues finishing the event without it…

A note to both Premium and Freemium Players..
The only time I recommend getting something like this for the event currency is if you feel like you can only log in once or twice a day and you really seem like you’re falling behind in your prize track.  Otherwise stay away from it..

Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as I premium player I’ll likely be passing on this one.   But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).  And this is one of those items that helps with the event, so if you’re thinking about getting it do it sooner rather than later to maximize your benefit from it.
