Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Halloween is back in Springfield! Yes, the water is murky, the screen is slightly darker, monsters and minions are roaming our towns…is there anything better than Halloween in our pocket-sized towns?
One element introduced with this event is the Flanders Family Tome. A quick way to clear all tappables in Springfield with a twist! We’ve seen this a time or two with previous events, you’ll need to upgrade the Tome to unlock all of it’s benefits, but for those who are new around here (or those who have forgotten) let’s take a look at the how-tos for the Tome…
So the basic premise Tome is pretty simple, it’s a quick way to clear all of the minions on your Springfield. However, unlike past events, it’s initial “cool down” time (the amount of time you have to wait to use it again to clear all minions) is 24hrs instead of 4hrs (as we’ve seen in the past).
The good news is you can upgrade the Tome to decrease the cooldown time, down to as low as 6s.
In addition to decreasing the cooldown time, the Tome also increases the Payouts at the dig site (meaning more prize track currency with every relic find) and increases the Tap Radius for Minion taps (similar to the tap radius at the IRS building for clearing income) for the Minions you clear in-between Tome Cooldowns.
Bottomline? The Tome has some extremely useful tools to help you progress through the event quicker.
So how do you upgrade the Tome?
Well, the Tome upgrades via Crafting Currency collected. The good news is you do not have to spend crafting currency to upgrade the Tome. The Tome upgrades automatically once you’ve collected (overall) the required crafting currency and each upgrade doesn’t cost you.
So spend that crafting currency on, well, crafting. Don’t worry about the Tome as it’ll upgrade automatically for you as you tappa, tap, tap along.
What do Tome Upgrades Look like and how much do they cost?
