Hello everyone, I'm almost done with the main character quest for this event, still have the three Xmas Trees quests on hold while I wait for Beast's Castle to decorate (those pomanders are IMPOSSIBLE to get!), here is a recap of the last steps of the Event in case someone needs it (sorry it doesn't go further back but I didn't take notes of what was happening before then):
Gunther "Interior Motives"
- 4/4 -- place 2 nutcracker soldiers (for me 26,951 PC each)
Gunther "Winter By Design"
- 1/3 -- 3H task
- 2/3 -- 6H + 2H
- 3/3 -- 10 min
now you get to place the Castle Dog House (revenue: 13 PC every 30 min) and the new character quest starts:
Footstool "Winter Wonderland"
- 1/3 -- unlock Footstool, items needed: 35 snowflakes (green), 23 mittens (blue), 16 boots (purple), 7 pillows (pink)
- 2/3 -- 4H + 5 min + place 1 yule log (for me 24,205 PC)
- 3/3 -- 1H + 8H + place the Winter Pond (for me 35,595 PC)
at the end of this quest you get a special gift called "Winter Prize Chest" which takes 12H to be ready and will reward 10 diamonds, 500 XP and 41 coins
finally the last quest starts:
Belle "Cold Comfort"
- 1/5 -- 10 min + 30 min
- 2/5 -- 4H
- 3/5 -- 2H (Belle & Footstool "Play in the Snow")
- 4/5 -- 3H (Belle's other new task "Make Snow Angels")
- 5/5 -- place the yule log + 4H
my bar for the Winter Holiday Event now looks full but it doesn't say "Completed" because I'm still missing the building decorations, I'll try to unlock as many items as possible in the next week but with the rate pomanders have dropped since I started decorating the Castle it's going to be very hard if not impossible.
I want to thank other players for suggesting to put all possible characters on 10 min quests, it really helped me boost up the PC income and get to this point with a full week to spare; had I done so from the very beginning of the Event I would have been able to decorate the buildings as the Event went on making earning PC much easier, no doubt this was the intent of developers when they planned it. what bothers me the most is that items for decorations are even harder to get than wild amounts of PC, especially because if you need 34 wreaths for, let's say, 3 buildings you cannot earn up to 102 wreaths; once you reach the 34 you need for building 1 you stop earning them until you unlock said building, then space for 34 more opens up. add this to the fact that purple items are often way harder to get than pink ones due to the fact that only a handful of characters can earn them and their tasks are insanely long, and you get why this update has been beautifully designed but very frustrating to play. <-- part of this is what I wrote to the customer service, I had to contact them for a glitch that they weren't able to fix (the Fairy's quest that rewards PC if you purchase diamonds didn't trigger for me) and thought I would give them my input, there cannot be another Event like this one or I'll stop playing.
do you think we'll get to keep all the extra XP we accumulated since reaching the 25th level? let's say I have 3 characters on boot earning tasks and I'm only missing 1, if I free them all one after the other and they all drop a boot, I do get to keep those extra 2 boots, I cannot see them anywhere of course, but the next time I'll need to earn boots those two will already show in the unlock character screen.
someone asked which building Conli came with (the clumsy guard from Tangled), it's the Guard Tower.
such a relief to know that Kristoff, Sven and Olaf don't perform PC earning tasks: I still have them unavailable because I started Frozen last and spent so much time at the beginning of this Event mooning over them and feeling frustrated thinking how many PC I wasn't earning as a result of that choice.
also a recommendation to everyone NEVER DELETE THE APP FROM YOUR DEVICE or you will lose all progress.
thanks for the heads up!
