Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Gooooood mooooorning Tappers! Welcome to the wee early morning hours, who’s ready to cast a spell on Act 2? Brush up those wand waving skills, Act 2 is upon us my friends!
Remember…this is an automatic change in your game. Nothing to download, it should just start up in your game..
Lisa gets things going and you’ll then have a 4hr task for Ralph.
Act 2 Runs until October 31st (Halloween)
Just what does Act 2 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
New Prize Currency for Act 2
Fairy Dust
So the ability to earn Wands is now gone. Your counter prize track for Act 2 has reset to zero because you have zero Fairy Dust. So forget about those Wands…time to learn to fly with the Fairy Dust!
You’ll earn Fairy Dust very similar to how you earned Wands during Act 1….
-Clearing the troll tappables (earn 2 /tap)
– Clearing trolls in your Neighbor’s towns (earns 2/tap)
-Capturing/Enchanting/Release Beasts
-Daily Challenges
You’ll also earn Fairy Dust from the questline…don’t ignore the questline. You earn a ton of Event currency from it, it’s important for your prize track total..
New Details About Troll (Tappables) in Act 2
While Trolls still only earn 2 prize track currency/tap, the now drop MORE crafting currency per tap.
For Act 2 you’ll earn 4 
per tap in your town and 2 per tap in a neighbor’s town.
While I know this isn’t a huge deal for many of you, since the crafting track is mostly comprised of items from Halloweens past, there are some players out there excited about the craftables. So this should help (and yes, they should increase for Act 3 as well)
Act 2 Personal Prizes
Crawl’s Bar and Crawl- 900
Free Land Token- 2,800
Suffoclock of Sandy Doom- 5,600
Giant Crystal Ball- 9,400
500 Goblin Gold- 13,200
Ye Old Magick Shoppe- 17,000
GreyStash- 22,700
Act 1 Prizes…
If you didn’t collect them all… you can still access them by tapping on the “ACT 1” 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.)
Crafting
Crafting remains, as it was during Act 1, for Act 2.
Goblin Gold Crafting Currency is earned via the prize track, tappables & Squeaky Voice Peasant (if you purchased him)
New Items in the Store..
Great Raymondo and his House- 145 Donuts
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!
So be patient, the info you need will be up soon. 🙂
And that my friends concludes the quick rundown of Act 2!
Remember this is just a quick rundown…as we have time to play through the Act ourselves we’ll break everything down in more detail. If you need help with the basics check out the Halloween Event Page in the meantime.
Thoughts on Act 2? Just like you pictured it? Excited about these prizes? How’d you do with your Act 2 prizes? Will you be buying any of the new premium items? Sound off in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you!
This post gave me a better look at some of the prize track items and after looking closer at greystash it looks like we will have 2 versions of homer running around in our town unless it is a costume for homer
What about Cosme Fulanito (Guy Incognito)?
Plus Greystache is more like a mix between dumbledore and bobobo
The math is clear that premium players will find this easy.
If you bought Wiggops and Treestache with donuts, that generates 400x fairy dust per-hour. Tapping 4x a day plus the troll clearing means at least 1,800 fairy dust per day.
Even without any other activity like the capture of Crawl, that’s enough to finish Act 2.
How did you work out 400 per hour for Treestache and Wiggops? I’ve just checked as I have them both and it’s *100* per 4 hours.
Is anyone else earning 400 per hour as above?
The calculation includes the two free monsters plus the two premium ones. Each monster earms 100 fairy dust, thus 400 every four hours.
That’s what I thought, it’s not what is said above (my emphasis on per hour)
“If you bought Wiggops and Treestache with donuts, that generates 400x fairy dust **per-hour**”
I assume just a typo and it’s 100 per character per 4 hours.
Just a typo – meant per-round (as in a 4-hr cycle) hence the reference to tapping 4x in a single day.
Ive been trying to be positive and not comment and moan like everyone else buuuuut those prizes. Jeez.
I’m just not even gonna bother. I want none of these prizes,the crafting I’ve mostly got and the few new things just ain’t worth it.
Land and crafting currency shouldn’t be main prizes, it’s just lazy. The use of old items from past events is good for new players but us oldies who’ve been playing for what? 5 years now? Where’s the love EA?
The only thing I want from this whole event is Dracula! That’s Halloween!
I dread to think what they’ve got planned for Christmas.
Agreed on everything, especially the Christmas part. Can’t help but think EA is winding down on this game.
I dunno? I don’t think winding down (I hope not!) just maybe trying to keep up with other games and the updates they do and this is just making them chuck out updates thinking quantity over quality??
I don’t remember there ever being so many events like this year? I thought they’d up their game with the Halloween and Christmas events because of how popular they are in our little TSTO family so maybe we just expect too much and it to be like the good old days! Haha
# of events this year was the same as previous years. Feels like more because of mini events I think.
Has it really?! Feels like loads more. Lol
Love those little mini events tho. 👍
With regard to major events, the kind where your Splash Screen changes…
So far in 2017, we’ve had 5 (Around the World, Secret Agents, Time Travel, Homerpalooza & Halloween), Christmas will make 6. In 2016 we had 6 (Casino, Wild West, Superheroes, Sci-Fi, Halloween, and Christmas). 2015 we had 6 (Superheroes, Terwilliger, Tap ball, Monorail, Halloween, and Christmas). 2014 we had 6 (Valentine’s Day, Easter, Stonecutters, Clash of Clones, Halloween and Christmas). 2013 we had 6 (Valentine’s Day, Whacking Day, Squidport, Krustyland, Halloween, and Christmas)…
Standard is 6/year. One in Feb, One in April, one in June, one in August, then Halloween and Christmas.
Now we have had way more mini events this year. In 2016 we had 8, this year we had 11 (and will likely end with 12, including Thanksgiving). So that could be why it feels like more.
All of the events we’ve covered on this site are here: https://www.tstoaddicts.com/events and if you click the splash screen link at the bottom you’ll see all the events before this site existed.
there’s an event going on? I hadn’t noticed.
yawn
Not sure why the trolls and dragons have to hang out on the dirt roads. When I release them they run there. Also seen them hanging out on the dirt roads in friends towns. Wish EA would fix this glitch.
That is why my street sweeper has been in storage for over a year makes no sense to have a street sweeper clean dirt roads. Also would like the beasts not in just one area. Hope it changes some time.
That loch nessy is also always in my western aera. As is the guy in the golf cart. Wondering what they are doing therë. Nessy stays in storage.
Mine too
Better leave this glitch. I built a beast arena with a rectangular dirt road and placed their lairs next to it. A decent wall and surrounding water makes this a perfect prison.
Great idea post a picture if you can
lol – the Island of Dr. Moreau?
I can’t play, it’s been 3-4 days since I cannot connect to the server, today I tried to uninstall and reinstall, can’t connect again and even to download all updates.
Guess I’m quitting for good.
As a freemium player, I’m having no problem getting through the prizes yet am not getting much craft currency. 4 wall sets, a gate, and a dorm was all I was able to obtain. I fear I’m not going to be able to craft all the new items. New freemium players are not going to be able to craft new and old items even with the jump in craftable currency this act.
Once again, this post was up before I woke up. Thank you guys for all you do!
Remember when people started getting those random mini events from the past? Are people still getting those? Are you able to play them still? I’m talking about the chili event, the space event, the Pin Pals event and Homer the Heretic by the way.
I never got them, since apparently you have to be at least level 60 to unlock them. At the time the events returned I was only 30-ish. Yesterday I however discovered KEM farming, and that made me 15 levels higher (it hasn’t even been 24 hours, incredible!) and it gave me enough donuts to buy Wiggops as well.
That means I’ll reach 60 in no time, but if anyone knows, will I still be able to trigger the old events? I’d love to play at least one of them. Thanks.
Lady, where’s my spy camera? – “Where’s my spy camera?” – Where’s my spy camera? Where’s my spy camera, lady? – “Every day for the last six months”- – Where is my spy camera? Where’s my spy camera? Where’s my spy camera? “Here’s your stupid spy camera!” Oh.
Thanks, man.
Thx for breakdown. Lookin forward for new items 🙂
okay, is it just me or is this not the perfect event to use the Wizard Marge costume? I personally really love the costume and generally keep Marge in it. It’s not like it’s hard either, just use her throwing fire animation as her attack animation. I will honesty be a tad bit disappointed if she doesn’t get use at all. Either give it out much like the return of the Milhouse costume, or upgrade it to a premium skin and have it return in the store. Heck, maybe even don’t bring it back, just let it be a neat additional character to use for the people that have her! Whatever it is they want to do, I would honestly love to have an actual use for my Wizard Marge skin!!
Man those prizes are a joke. 2 acts and only one building so far?
Basically, no increase in payout, except for the goblin-boogers, but we need double the amount to finish the prize track? Sounds like EA made it harder for act 2. I finished act 1 in about half the allotted time, so it should be ok for me, but it’s not going to work for my b-town.
You have Kearneymon and Lewd from act 1 who also earn currency, so this probably justifies the higher amount in act 2. But I haven’t done the math if it will easy or not, I’m waiting lazily from a post about that from the terrific addicts here 🙂
Don’t forget, you have the 2 freemium Act 1 Beasties earning now too (& more if you got any of the Premimum Beasts). It usually works out okay, in that when they raise the costs, you either get more currency per drop, or more characters earning, etc.
Seriously am I being really thick saffi? In act 1 I was able to enchant, capture and release 2 beasts available and have been sending the two of them for rewards ever since. BUT HOW can I start enchanting crawl when it says he’s in hiding, available in act 2???
Crawl unlocks as the first prize in Act 2 when you have 900 currency.
Hi everyone👋🏼. I’m curious about what others here have been earning as their daily challenge prizes. During Act 1 I only had ONE prize that was 600 event currency the rest were only 200. Today ( Act 2) I had prize of 200 event currency.
Is anyone seeing more 600 vs. 200 prizes?
I get about 3 200 wand tasks for every 600 wand task. Mind you, I always “X” out a 200 wand task whenever I can in hopes of getting a 600 task.
Thanks Safi. I did not try that should have lol. I will from now on. I thought that only one 600 prize this far into event was “magically” not very enchanting! 😂⚡️🔮
If you “X” out the 200 wand task, isn’t there a risk you won’t get another 200 or 600 wand task next?
Every time I tried, I got a wand task back, just a different one. Although I have read a comment or two, where the people got donut tasks instead. Must be rare, though, because I have been switching a lot for the chance to get the 600, and it has never happened to me.
Yeah, there is. In fact, the last time I Xd out a 200 Wand task, I got a task for Willie to earn IGC! That I’d never seen before – usually I’d get another 200 Wand task, or hopefully a 600 Wand task! 😁
But I’ll just X the Willie IGC task, in hopes of Event Currency or Donuts. 🙂
TL;DR: you can X out a Task multiple times, you just need to wait 12 hours (I think it’s 12…) for another attempt. 🙂
Very slim chance. Generally during events, nearly all tasks are event currency generating tasks.
Same here, one 600 in act 1. All others were 200 for me.
Very underwhelming prizes.. ill wait for SIB but Raymondo could be a good niy plus its “real” character not magical/non canon
Bully-Vern (sp?) is still in hiding but an Act 2 item. Since it is NOT a Personal Prize, I presume it is made available through following the Questline.
Or is there a Third Avenue for acquiring it, one that I’m not thinking of?
Cat is back in and sleeping. Time for me too as well. 3:00 am here. G’night.
Do you remember how Burns Dragon was introduced into the game? Third Avenue!
not Gil again i hope
Little message on Bully Verns fight screen states available on 24th October. 🙂
In my game, under the Beast Enchanter tab, it says Bully-Vern unlocks on October 24th. It’s at the very bottom.
I don’t get this event, it’s like a car boot sale. Nothing is designed to fit together, harry potter esq. Buildings, stone age monster decorations and one derelict concrete decoration. And then the returning classic Halloween pumpkins, bat’s and brambles. But the items from the quest line, egg timer and orb (was the iPod from this event). Are the writers on strike?
I was thinking the same…what a random collection!
Got prize 1 Carl within under 5min, even before tapping any mystical beasts. I’m afraid this act will be another yawn with no real Springfield interaction
The prizes look a bit better than the Act 1 prizes, at least there is a building available this time that would look good with the Charmer’s Market, as for crafting, it is good that there is a slight increase since I just crafted the Dorm Tower and now started working on the Corridor.
So I’ve got 6 wizards to send after one beastie and there’s another in store ?! Tentacle trees here I come !!
I also think neighbour trolls still only pay 1 fairy dust, had a tap 3 daily task and went from 680 to 1283 just doing Other Springfield and claiming the 600 for the challenge – barely worth the searching, especially if it’s still a 44 action limit ( the last tap never pays for me?! )
I picked up Angelica in the first act and with four wizards I’m able to clear up 3 dark energy per cycle. Is three the limit per beast? Meaning if I pick up Great Raymondo will I be able to send four wizards to clear a beast and get 3.5 dark energy per cycle or will I still be limited to three per?
Great Raymondo also Captures and Enchants 1 mana. So if you use Wizard Martin, Angelica Button, Great Raymondo, and any freemium character (Wizard Bart/Lisa/Unicorn) concomitantly, yes you will Capture or Enchant 3.5 mana per cycle.
At that, four cycles is 14 mana, so you’d still need a fifth cycle to complete the 15 – Crawl’ll be done and released on Thursday with three cycles today and one started for overnight, claim that and four more tomorrow leaving two cycles to clear using Martin, Angelica and probably Millhouse and Unicorn.
Yeah, I agree. I sent Martin, Angelica, Milhouse and Unicorn too. I got Raymondo, but he’s working on his quest.
With one beastie to go at, it might be worth thinking about slowing down and do one cycle for 3 mana and then send the 1/2 mana four freemium wizards out six times for capture and the same to enchant – then 14 cycles nets 2800 wotsits instead of releasing after 10 cycles and getting 2400 for those and 4 releases, but then there’s the Questline, Bonuts and Railyard to consider.
Decisions, decisions !!
I purchased Raymondo, but I first sent him and Lisa on his quest line. I always START the initial quest (in this case four hours). I’ll finish it later, but I prefer to kick start them.
I got Raymondo, working on his quest too. There really is no benefit to sending 3.5 mana characters versus 3 mana characters. Both will take 20 hours to Capture a beast and bot take 20 hours to Enchant a beast.
You do NOT want to use any of the premium characters to capture beasts at this point if you worry about finishing. The premium characters earn the same amount of fairy dust but capture faster.
4x non-premium characters with 2x manna total would take 8x rounds to capture, and 8x rounds to enchant. That’s 3,200 fairy dust.
Use premium to generate 3x manna per round, and you only get 10x total rounds for 2,000 fairy dust. Then for the next 6x rounds, only 100 fairy dust from the enchanted creature for a total of 2,600.
That’s a net loss of 600 potential fairy dust by using premium characters.
Hi can anyone release their beast? It says at bottom of screen available in act 2 which is now but it won’t let me do anything confused dot com? Lol
You finished Capturing and Enchanting them in Act 1? I was able to Release all the beasts I had Captured and Enchanted in Act 1 once already in Act 2 and have now sent them to Release again.
Wait, how can I re-release and re-enchant a beast I caught in Act I? All I have the option of doing is releasing them to run around for four hours and earn 100 currency and some prize. Am I missing some way to release and capture them again?
No that’s likely what he was referring to
No, I think you might just be confused in the way I wrote my response. I am just Releasing my Act 1 beasts over and over. I had already Captured and Enchanted them once each in Act 1. I can’t Capture or Enchant them again.
Thanks for the prompt post. Being in Hong Kong the update happens 4pm local time so it’s convenient for me and I can slack off work for a bit lol. Is it me or the vault updates now every Wednesday. Previously it was every Tuesday.
Yeah, they changed the vault day a few weeks back.
Yay, got electricity back an hour before act 2 kicked off. Just in time to power up the phone and get the WiFi back on! Rough day here in Cork yesterday, you don’t realise how much you rely on electricity until you lose it. Hundreds of trees blown down in Cork alone.
Good luck with the Storm
While watching the clock run out in one of my B-towns, where I was 500-something wands short of getting the Unicorn Wizard, I found a cheaper way of getting him than paying the 30 donuts on the prize screen. Sorry that this is to late for act 1 now, but maybe something to keep in mind for the coming acts:
Releasing Kearneymon gives you 100 wands and cost you 2 Donuts to speed up. So I sped through that task 6 times, at a cost of 12 Donuts, and I got enough wands to get me the Unicorn Wizard, and an additional bonut-round. So I lost only 9 Donuts instead fo the 30 it would have cost on the prize screen.
I suspected Crawl was the first price and unlocked him once the act began (4 monsters summoned, 2 daily challenges open) 🙂
The Great Raymondo bundle for 145D is a must-buy and helps with the event. 24h-building (500$ 45XP), decoration (no bonus) and a character.
1 mana per wizardry job.
If it’s anything like as easy as the first act, there will be no need to spend donuts to complete act 2.
I just watched the clock run out for act 1 during my coffee break – and nothing happened. I had to hard close and open it again, before the dialogue started.
Lately, it happened a few times that my town was “unresponsive”. Example: the magic tower was ready to collect all the roaming trolls, with the floating pink thingy on top, but clicking on it didn’t do a thing. So far, it was always an easy fix, go to friend screen/Krustyland and back, or hard close & re-open. Does this happen to anyone else? Any ideas why this might happen?
I had the same problem with my game being unresponsive, and didn’t find a solution either…
Yeah! Just got the tentacle tree for the 1% bonus xp. Good deal at 10 donuts! Even for a freemium like me. Just made some 100 bonuts with the rail yard. Just unlocked the Crawls’s bar and crawl, on my way for the land token, woohoo! Happy act 2 everyone.
