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? Of course loads of returning content! Lots of items to drop those sprinkles on…
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the Returning Helter Skeleter or Ancient Ruins to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these throwbacks to your town…
Leaves stores October 29th
Item: Helter Skeleter
Cost: 25 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
What Does It Do: NPC for Springfield. Animated when tapped
My Opinion On It Now: Eh, it’s 25 donuts. Not a huge fan of NPCs, but it’s 25 donuts…if you like it get it.
Leaves stores November 1st
Item: Ancient Ruins
Cost: 55 Donuts
Previous Post: Should I Buy
Earns: 2.25% Bonus on all cash and XP
What Does It Do: Nothing, just sits there
My Opinion On It Now: Ok price for bonus %, but otherwise pass. It’s pretty lame.
What are your thoughts on the returning items? Will you be spending donuts to bring any of these throwbacks to your Springfield? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I think I’d feel remiss without Helter Skelter. We have vampires, werewolves, mummies, the Frankensteins, zombies and a witch. A skeleton rounds out the set.
I got the “Sepulcher of Evil” in the Mystery Box and I noticed that it look similar to “Ancient Ruins”. Are they affect one another or are they linked in some way?
Nope..
I got the ruins because I wanted bonus percentage.
Helter Skeleter / Ancient Ruins
Pass on both! I advocate spending your Sprinkles on the new Jack-o-Lantern Mystery Box that just popped up today (for 50 Donuts I just got Witch Marge and Cauldron – thank you EA!) 🎃😀
Witch Marge offered again! Does the Speed Up Crops actually speed up crops? If so I wish I had it back when I acquired Brandine!
It does. But the whole “crops” bit is almost mythology. Very little reward for the time.
Help! I have the cauldron from the mystery box last time, that I thought can with witch Marge…. And now I can’t actually get her because I have the cauldron. Waited so long….. So sad.
I’m not sure what you’d like for us to do. I mean, there’s nothing we can do to help…
Witch Marge and the Cauldron! Woo-hoo! 5 years of waiting!
all is well with the world.
I’m calling foul! Not only have I missed out on the pet (s)emetery by virtue of having one of the NPCs, i’ve Missed out on witch Marge due to purchasing the cauldron last year, assuming the witch Marge skin would come with it.
Not cool!
I’ve hit that mid-act drag… someone give me some motivation to keep at it in comments here plz!
Get back at EA for excruciatingly long events by actually enjoying them!
hording pick axes for next act 🙂 am at 500+ so far…
Get Tween Lit Inc and run the second task kids exploit!
Which is great…except then you have that weird building…and more teens. Ugh.
Already got the teens. I say, “put ’em to work! ” I’m mining every free sprinkle i can get.
I got both 😀 I’m sure the ancient ruins will find a place somewhere in my town!
The Ancient ruins goes well with the rigellian stuff since it has that alien type of appearance to it.
