THOH XXVIII Prize Guide: Act 2, Prize 4 Giant Crystal Ball

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Fall has arrived and there’s a haze over our Springfield’s, that can only mean one thing….it’s Halloween in our pocket-sized towns! This year EA’s thrown a little magic into the mix, with an Angelica Button theme invading our towns. We’ve got beasts to battle, creatures to capture, wizards to wand wave and goblin gold to gather! Quite a few alliteration altercations huh?

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Acts containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the second act, you’re tasked with collecting Fairy Dust     () to unlock each prize!

The fourth Act 2 Prize awarded at 9,400 is the Giant Crystal Ball, because you can’t have a magical event without a giant magic ball….

So let’s take a closer look at this fourth prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 9,400  you’ll automatically be awarded the magic crystal ball and you’ll see this message popup:

And you’ll have the option to place the Crystal Ball in your Springfield or store it in your inventory for later.  If you place it you’ll see a little bit of dialogue that appears:

Weapon of Mass Surveillance 
Quimby starts

Quimby: Use monies for my “Floozie” fund to hire some laborers to move this into my office. Better yet, just borrow an elephant from the city zoo and have the floozies meet me in my office as well.
Tap Giant Crystal Ball

And that’s it.  Nothing else to earn, just place, tap, and move on.

Here are the quick details:

Size: 2×2
Earns: Nada.  Just a decoration, but i’m sure one day they’ll bring it back and charge donuts for it.  At that point, it’ll probably earn a small bonus %.  But, until that day comes…it doesn’t earn a thing. 
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
What Does It Do: Animated when tapped, green “magic dust” emits from it.  That’s about it..honestly, pretty lackluster.

And there you have it, the details behind the Giant Crystal Ball….the 4th THOH XXVII Act 2 prize!

What’s Next?

 Technically 500 Goblin Gold is next at 13,200, but since that’s not a tangible prize for Springfield, just additional crafting currency.  The next prize we’ll cover is…

Ye Olde Magick Shoppe- Awarded at 17,000. This will be the next prize we break down in the prize guidepost.
