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 2 brought several new items to our towns for crafting, so let’s take a look…
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.
Now here’s the breakdown for Act 2 (when Act 3 hits we’ll post about the breakdown on those items as well):

My Recommendation on Crafting Currency…
Should you save or should you spend? Max out your Amusement Bonus and reach level 9, then start hoarding your crafting currency for Act 3. That way you can get a good start on the new craftables once Act 3 hits. And I saw reach Level 9 in this case, so you’ve got a good jump on the Act 3 craftables when they launch (plus that’s where you unlock the weirdos)
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!
And there you have it my friends…the details behind Act 2 of the Itchy and Scratchy Land event crafting!
