Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Act 2 of this magical Halloween hit our towns very early this morning. A magical event full of beasts to battle, wands to wave and goblin gold to grab!
For Act 2 of Halloween you’re tasked with continuing the questline, including adding a dormitory to the Academy…so we can all see just how social Lisa Really can be.
As was mentioned in the rundown post, Act 2 of Halloween runs until…well, Halloween. October 31st, which is when Act 3 will start.
Don’t forget the Questline will help you get some bonus prize currency…so make sure you complete it to earn that extra currency…also the questline is there to guide you. Make sure you complete the main questline in order to unlock things like neighbor actions, crafting and more.

What are your initial thoughts on Act 2 of this magical event? Thoughts on the dialogue so far? Prizes? Any items you’ve purchased? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I’ve enchanted all the breasts that came with this round. I’m only at 15k fairy dust!! Is there any other way to get more dust without spending donuts?
In the prize track, I collected 13700 fair dusts out of 13200, so I’m supposed to collect the 500 goblins gold. Yet, the prize doesn’t want to collect, but I keep accumulating dust. It tells me that it cost no donut (free). I can’t appear to move on the Ye Old Shop. Have you come across this issue?
Where is the Halloween 2017 act 2 calander?
I’m guessing that you are joking….otherwise…go to the HUGE graphic for this update, and you will find it on the Event Page.
This has got to be the most boring Halloween event yet. Just the same process over and over, half the prizes we already have from previous years. I hope they make up for it at Christmas… Heck your character s don’t even level up and become more powerful sorcerers…
👎
That’s my thought on Act 2
(thanks for the next new Building + Character, no thanks for the worthless whatevers, I guess there won’t be a post on Craftables since 1/3 of them longtime tappers can’t craft and/or 1/2 of whatever is new just isn’t worth the time)
Don’t recall know where to put this, here goes.
I may just be slow, but
I was crafting some Magic Academy Walls, I crafted my allotted 4 when it then allowed me to PURCHASE more.
FYI
Don‘t you think, this is the most boring Halloween event, ever. I‘ve been playing since year one, can’t even remember the event loot from back then, anymore, but this has to be the least effort they have ever made for a Halloween event. In act 2 all we have to do is enchant the trolls, again and again. Even the crafting loot has already been done before.
Yes, we all discussed it at length on our livestream/podcast a few weeks ago:
http://tstoaddicts.com/2017/10/07/episode-16-halloween-magic-or-mayhem/
Admittedly, I’ve only just started playing the game again. I deleted it before because it required internet access (not as readily available in this part of the world) but yes. That’s why I was about to write off my attempts. It wasn’t exactly exciting.
Something not happening with my Enchant Kearneymon quest. I have done it a few times but it still says 0/15. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a difference between enchant and capture because when I select ‘do it’ it jumps straight to capture.
Yes. You have to capture BEFORE you enchant. Which means you have to CLEAR 15 Dark Mana to Capture and then FILL 15 Light Mana to enchant.
Wow! That might take a while. It seems I have one and a half left to clear. Thanks I was about to give up on the idea.
I’m a big fan of magic and happy that I got unicorn wizard in time 🦄
Hopefully I get Greystashe 😐🙂
Part 4 – how do I summon him? I can only release him!
That’s what they’re referring to
bleh: can’t finish pt.4 unless i place the dormitory tower. *derp* i went and crafted those bonsai trees instead of holding out for 900 goblin gold. …. pfft. oh werl, i’ll get it on this next enchantment round. … le sigh. i’m pretty happy that i was able to get another beasti from the Xtra bonuts i got from Act1. 🙂 Thank you for all the hard work you guys do prepping us for these events! <33333
From the re-used crafting rewards to the dull Act prizes, this is a Halloween event to forget. Such a shame because, for the most part, the Halloween TSTO events have been my favourites.
This event, and a few others, have made me start to wonder whether EA are starting to loose interest in the game – perhaps it isn’t the cash cow it once was and therefore they are decreasing development of it.
10,000 fairy dust for bonuts! Yipes!
Maybe it’s just me but all the recent events seem generally cookie cutter. Send someone on a 4 hour task and then do another 4 hour task. I miss the old days where at least there was some 8hr, 12hr etc tasks. And more than 4-5 tasks before it’s over and your waiting for the next act, I’m almost done with act 2 and it’s the first day of it. Ever since the level 60 finale the game just seems bland. And this is a sad excuse for a THOH event. Boooo EA, you dropped the ball on this one!
Thanks for the info! ‘Tis very useful, as always. I’m enjoying this event. It’s low pressure and unlike the last couple of events there are some prizes and activities I enjoy (neither Time Travel or Homerpalooza brought me any real joy). I dislike Halloween generally and THOH episodes so don’t miss that element – I can see that if you’re into that stuff this one might be a disappointment. Huzzah for diversity though; it could be a dull world if we all liked the same things!
I only managed 3 rounds of bonuts on 5000. The rail yard is the way to go for bonuts. It’s a bit of hard work but it pays off.
I like finding Maggie for donuts 🙂
Much the same as before then, and before that etc etc.
Alissa – I’ve been pretty silent in the comments lately, but I wanted to quickly thank you all for the hard work you put into this site. It’s really wonderfully helpful. You put a ray of sunshine into my day! 🙂
for sure, alissa and the TSTOA crew is helpful! i’m sporadic in comments but use the site often for info, clarifications and…tricks! the game may be a repetitive cycle but i’m glad the site is so loyal to help us zombies out!
Does anyone else have the iOS issue of the game re-downloading all the data files every single time you try to open the app? I’ve tried just about everything I can think of (clean installs of both iOS 11.0.3 AND TSTO) and it just keeps doing it. It makes it really inconvenient to try to play the game when it keeps re-downloading and I have to log in every single time I open it.
I had the same thing happen to me all weekend on 1 iPad but not the other (and the kids always seemed to have the other). I don’t have a solution, but the problem stopped yesterday morning and has been fine on all my devices since. I saw someone else in the comments with the same problem a week or so ago, so it is going around. Too bad we didn’t get the free donuts glitch others got.
yes!! i commented about it a week or so ago!! it keeps happening and then stopping!! i’ve done everything i can think of (including deleting other apps)!!
I did have this when IOS11 first came out. It lasted a few days…I commented on it as well. But it eventually just went away. Not sure how or why it happened or stopped. I assumed it had something to do with the new feature that removes apps that haven’t been used in a while, but I shut that feature off and it still kept happening.
The only thing that I can think of that might have solved it is that I cleared a bunch of stuff off my phone, freeing up space. That shouldn’t matter, but the problem seemed to have fixed about the same time I did that.
No, I don’t have that problem. I have an IPhone 7 Plus. Did you clear you ram?
I did a clean reinstall of everything and it’s still happening. So frustrating. Especially since my WiFi at work is stupidly slow, so it takes about a half hour to download the data Every Time I Open The App.
nice guide and love knowing what is still to come with the act 2 quest line. I just started part 3 an hour ago.
Alissa made me see the light; I’m not buying my way out of this act even though I have a kazillion donuts. Slow and steady, enjoy the ride.
Lisa is not triggering anything for me… 🙁
Did you finish the act 1 questline?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2017/10/04/turbo-tappin-halloween-2017-act-1/
Can not believe i waited til today to buy the SVT skin and extra donuts……only to realize its gone. Guess i overlooked the date it was gonna be gone. D’oh. D’oh indeed.
I did same thing oh well save my real money
Not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but there’s also a new strip of land at the bottom….again….am I the only one that feels like we might have too much land for now? lol
Not enough land for me XD
I still haven’t bought the available land from before yet. I need to. My stuff from the past, oh, year or so is getting really jumbled and cramped. I just haven’t had the incentive for the redesign I know it’s going to require…
I think that maybe you hadn’t realised that 2 strips of land were opened up in the update unless my game isn’t right and a 3rd has been opened up
I don’t believe they added the third line. I only see the two lines released with Act 1.
Is that more land since you wrote the following post ?? …
https://tstoaddicts.com/2017/10/02/super-safis-stats-strategy-special-the-price-of-land/
Yes, the two strips were added shortly after my post. I’ll load an updated image this weekend.
it has been there since the beginning of the event…. we got 2 strips of land along that side of the map.
Thanks!
I’m glad pt 3 recognised the 4 dorm towers I’d already got.
Note to self, collect Lisa and the kids later but leave Kearneymon til the task triggers – I’ve shifted the alley out of the way in case.
Then 4 hours of Homer pleading and with luck it’s Bonut time again.
Wonder what the target will be for this act ??
yeeeees! a dormitory and Greystash?! loving it!
Bonuts? Please tell me they are offering donuts again once the quest line is complete? 🍩
Little else to keep me engaged every four hours…
Thanks 🎃
Yea, I’ll have a quick post on it tomorrow, but yes.
Yaaay! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
You are probably better off doing the railyard. Sorry but 5000 at a time was a joke.
This might sound dumb… but I really want to *want* to buy the premium stuff. So far this event, I’ve only gone after a few of the older premium items which I’d been coveting for a long time, and those new premium items which I knew would help me in the event; I’ve entirely ignored the newer buildings and such, mentally marking them down as inconsequential.
Maybe this is a rose colored glasses view of past events, but I seem to recall that when I first started playing, during the Clash of Clones event — and when I didn’t have hardly any donuts at all — every single premium item practically made me drool. Not so much, anymore. Am I just becoming jaded, or is EA not trying as hard anymore?
I would like the buildings to complete my magic campus, but I tend to be a pragmatist when it comes to spending donuts, and I just cannot see laying out the sprinkles for them if there is not a character or some other incentive attached. Simply having them earn in game cash is not enough for me anymore, especially since I have many, many buildings which do the same thing that were obtained for in game cash. Maybe it’s just the way I think, but they are going to need to make these premium buildings do something other than earn IGC if they want me to spend donuts on them. I’m thinking a donut every day…
I agree with you. I rarely buy a stand-alone building anymore. I am a sucker for a character/building combo, though. I’ve felt unimpressed by the premium offerings for a long time now. And they seem to be offering very few decent items for IGC anymore, either.
similar to act 1, do bonuts start after you complete the act 2 questline? and is it set at 5000 fairy dust? thanks for your always informative posts!
yes and no. i’ll have a quick post tomorrow am on it
