Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Ah the Crafting post….where I give you the how-to and break down each and every item available to craft, so you don’t miss a thing!
Love it or hate it, EA has proven over the last couple of years that crafting is here to stay. While the prizes themselves are pretty self-explanatory, collect this to earn these prizes, crafting is a whole other “animal”. Crafting requires some self-direction. You decide what you want and collect the items to craft accordingly. Sometimes this is successful and sometimes it’s not. And, as with all things, for some events crafting is easier than others.
Act 3 brought seven new craftables to Springfield, so let’s take a closer look at the new items…
So in this post I’m not going to get into the details of how to craft etc, I already covered that in the Act 1 post. I’m also not going to talk about the items that were available to craft during Act 1 because, well, I talked about them in the Act 1 Crating Post. So if you’d like information on either of those check out the Act 1 Crafting Post here.
You can also check out the craftables from Act 2 here.

My Personal Opinion on Craftables…
As always get what you like/what will work for your town. However, keep in mind you need certain craftables to boost your heist bonus. So focus on that, and once that’s maxed out you can go with the order items.
So again…don’t kill yourself trying to get all this stuff. Sometimes less is more. Craft what you have a use for in Springfield….
Hope that helps some of you who have been stressing out over crafting!
