Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So something EA’s been slowly rolling out over the last year or so is this new bonus for actually spending cash on donuts. (instead of just farming them) Where they attach a premium, limited-time, character to one of the donut bundles in addition to bonus donuts.
This time around we’re being offered the Witch, a premium character, for a truckload of 300 Donuts ($19.99 in the US)..no bonus this time around. While it’s hard for me to sit here and tell you if you should or shouldn’t spend actual cash on the game (spoiler, I think you should always spend at least a small amount…even if it’s $.99/year on the game if it brings you joy and you want to see it continue) I thought I’d do a quick breakdown of the Witch, her tasks and other details you may be curious about.
So let’s consider this an abbreviated Should I Buy….
So what is the deal? When you can find it in the Currency Tab of your Store (also by hitting Get More)…
Basically spend $19.99 on a Truckload of 300 donuts and you get the Witch character.
And yes, for those outside of the US I know my price is probably lower than yours. EA only charges 19.99 USD for this package…anything over that that you are currently paying goes to Google/Apple/Amazon for Tax and Duty etc. EA only collects the 19.99.
So, personally, I think this is a terrible deal. $19.99 is WAY to much to pay for a character, especially a one-off character. EA needs to have these back at $9.99, a much better deal then.
So here’s a breakdown on the Witch…
-She is NOT voiced
-Comes with a complete set of tasks
-Comes with a questline
-Some fun visual/animated tasks
-Will not earn event currency
-All of her indoor tasks take place at the Brown House
-Visual tasks are 4 and 8hrs
Here’s a look at her task list
Witch’s Permanent Tasks…
| Task | Length | Earns | Location |
| Whip Up a Batch of Cold Brew | 1hr | $105, 26xp | Brown House |

That’s pretty much it on the Witch. A premium character for Springfield and while she’s fun, I don’t think she’s worth the cash. I’d pass.
