Currency Confusion Act 3

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Popping in real quick with your friendly reminder of The Springfield Jobs Act 3 currency.  Some of you have gotten confused with this event for some reason on the currencies.  This event is just like every other event when it comes to currency.  There are 2 different types of currency….Prize Track and Currency.

Prize Track currency is for unlocking prizes in the Prize Track.  This changes for each Act.  So each Act the Prize Track Currency will change to something different.  (you can see each currency on the neighbor’s screen)

For Act 3 it’s Poker Chips…they look like this:

Crafting currency is for unlocking/buying craftable items at Plunderer Pete’s.  This remains the same for the entire event.  Crafting currency will NOT change from one Act to the next. And this is the very last Act of this event, so use it or lose it.  Crafting currency is Plunders….they look like this: 

Oh and these guys… are also the same for the entire event.  And there’s no point in saving them up.  Use them when you get them since they only pay out Crafting Currency…

Remember, this is the very last Act in this event.  So use it all or lose it all…that goes for Masks too.

Hope that helps those of you having difficulty with this!  Remember it’s the same as every other event…

Springfield Jobs Act III – Prize Guide – Monte Burns Resort Casino

Well kids…we are FINALLY in Act III of the Springfield Jobs Event.  If the news is correct about how many jobs a Millenial worker is expected to have in a lifetime, an average Millenial could have had two or three jobs during this event alone…

So. Long. So. Very. Very. Long!

But, as has become the norm with the updates these days…EA is giving us a ton of Free Clutter. And, Act III is no exception.

We will get crafting currency…another Free Land Token…and some really big buildings.

First up?  Monte Burns Resort Casino!

Turbo Tappin’ Springfield Jobs: Act 3

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Who’s up for a little heist?  Nothing like robbing a Museum, Bank or Casino to brighten your Spring up huh? It’s time for the Springfield Job! Where a group of “sophisticated” Criminals…let’s face it Homer’s involved…plan out heists around the World!

As was mentioned in the rundown post Act 3 of Springfield Job runs until May 9th (when the whole event ends) and you’ll need Homer and the heisters to get things started…

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.

Now let’s work our way through the heisting of the Act 3 questline….

Springfield Jobs – Act III Calendar and Numbers for Getting it All!

WOW…Act II was long. But, it was also EAsy…in that I had more than a full week of grinding for Bonuts, after I finished the quest line, and collected all of the prizes.  I have a sense that Act III is going to be the same way…

I wish I could say that I am looking forward to the great prizes in Act III…but, the fact is, I am still working on making my London layout everything it can be, and don’t care much for a rehash of Burns’ Casino, that isn’t the same Casino, from a legitimately great Event (Burns’s Casino), that gave us a ton of gambling/resort related stuff.  This feels like a retread…and is yet another argument for MAKING THE EVENTS TWO ACTS!!!!

OK. Rant over.

As I said, if you have been storing up a cache of Crafting Currency, and did the wise thing of not collecting your Daily Challenge currency for the past three days, you are going to come out of the blocks quickly. If not, I don’t think it matters…you will still “Get Everything” as it pertains to the Prize Track.

Let’s take a look at the numbers…
