Itchy and Scratchy Land 101: Act 2 Amusement Bonus

Advertisements

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Arrangement Bonuses are back again and it doesn’t appear that they’re going anywhere.  This is now the third event in a row where Arrangement bonuses have been featured.  This time around it’s called an Amusement Bonus, same concept different name.

So let’s take a look at how this bonus works for Act 2, how you max it out and what it’ll get you…


We broke down all the basics on the Amusement Bonus during Act 1, you can check it out in this post.

Unlike previous events, the bonus area has not changed for Act 2.  It still remains the area around the Itchy and Scratchy Land Gate…

The bonus max for Act 2 has been increased.  It was 20% for Act 1, it has now increased to 35% for Act 2.

Once you’ve reached 35% (the max for Act 2) your characters will payout 81 .  There (at this time) is no difference between Freemium and Premium Payouts.  Also, crafting currency is not impacted by the bonus %, it remains the same 25 per character no matter what your bonus % is.

Remember, you only have to have 1 square of the item touching the blue area to get the bonus % for it.  It does not have to be completely inside the blue area.

Act 2 added several new items to help increase your Amusement Bonus.  Here’s a look at those items…

The best bang for your Itchy & Scratchy buck for Act 2?  Either the Log Ride Short Track, Corner or Long Track.  They all pay out about the same % for  spent.

As far as design is concerned.  You’ve got 3 Acts to fit a lot of Bonus % in, design may not work out so well until the event ends. I know some of you are really big into making these items work around your I&S for the bonus %.  Honestly, I’m not.  It’s a matter of making them items fit, maxing out the bonus % and moving on.  Once the event ends I have entirely different design plans for the buildings and craftables, so that’s when I’ll be moving everything around.

I just don’t think it’s worth stressing over the design right now.  Achieve the bonus % needed, craft what you like and make it work once the event is over.

And that is it my friends, the details for the Amusement bonus in Act 2!

How are you making the items work?  Are you designing now or just getting the bonus % and waiting till the event is over to make a design work?  Where is your bonus % sitting right now? Which items did you use to get there?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
