Yeah, I had a harder time with staffs than I did with ear hats, which is the exact opposite of every other character I've ever welcomed. I think by the time I had all the ear hats, I still needed 4 staffs. It was weird.These dumb staffs have awful drop rates. Only need one more jafar hat but like 6 more staffs.
I noticed that, too. It is no coincidence that the last character requires significantly more event currency to level up. For example, I have Aladdin at level 6 and to to get him to 7 takes 2,400 currency but to bring Jafar from 2 to 3 requires 4,500. They obviously want us to burn through as much event currency as possible in the next 4 days. My plan is to keep leveling up all other event characters other than Jafar. He'll still be at level 2 when this event is finally over.Just brought Jafar to level 3. Man, he is eating all of my event currency. Stupid interns...
I must have missed it the first time, but I do agree with you on this point. When I started I thought it would be a slimmed down Rollercoaster Tycoon type but for Disney! And I thought the characters were a cute addition to help "free" the park from the curses. But you are totally right that there was a huge shift from Park to Characters and it really started with the first LTE with the Incredibles. They have also gone on the side of adding 2 premium characters per event which is purely for the $$ and nothing more. Iago is useless to the story line. Rafiki the same. And I'm sure we didn't really need Sven either (although he's a favorite). You've opened my eyes more too. And I'm already in coasting mode, just slowly trying to get Mowgli and Bagheera... but for what?B**ch Post:
I posed the question a long time ago, but I don't think I received any responses. I don't play like most of you. To me the game is about building a theme park so I prioritise attractions over characters. Does anyone else do this? After spending months trying to welcome Bagheera (I'm still 5 items away) and after only getting Scar to level 5 after all this time, I have no more interest in obtaining the difficult to level up characters unless they're integral to the storyline. I'm not even bothering with Jafar. I'm just collecting currency at this point to trade in for gems.
I still enjoy most aspects of the gameplay however and find most of these things minor annoyances. Including the fact that I have 15 million useless magic But I did promise myself I'd stop playing this game if they ever stick another attraction in a platinum chest
I stopped leveling up entirely after the Jafar battle and then Jafar at 2, no more. Not like I have anything else to do when the event is over.. might as well aim for more gems to save for the next event.I noticed that, too.

Sometimes they increase the amount of tokens needed, but that hasn't happened for the past two events. Also, some of the side character (like toy story) won't help once the event is over. Just more challenging.Why are you all so concerned with leveling up your event characters and wasting your currency? Why don't you wait until the event is over to do that, and save the currency for the gem conversion? Is there something you guys know that I don't?
Oh. In that case, it's no big deal. Event characters aren't important to the main story afterwards, so it doesn't matter to me how long they take to level up later. I'd rather get the free gems for the currency.Sometimes they increase the amount of tokens needed, but that hasn't happened for the past two events.

That should happen automatically after the event ends - 1 gem for every 2000 event currency with a max of 40 gems.I keep seeing people mention getting gems for event currency when the event ends. I've only been playing for a few months and the lion king event is the only other one I have done. I had a lot of event currency left after that one, but I did not get any gems for it. Is there something I have to do to get it converted to gems?
It doesn't matter where you put them. You will move them around hundreds of times as you will always be trying to figure out how to fit everything in the small space you're given. Enjoy the game
Don't spend gems for anything but characters while you're just starting/learning. The dust storms don't matter, they are only there to help you earn the lamps you need to level up characters. The event is in addition to the regular game and is timelimited. You can only get the event characters until the event ends. That why it's important to get as many characters that you can before the event ends. When the event is over you will go back to "normal" gameplay and follow the basic storyline. I suggest you start at the beginning of this forum topic and learn some of the basics. You can learn as the players learned when they first started this game. Have fun and save those gems!Since I'm really new, I still don't understand "Events". I currently have the Aladdin one open. Got Aladdin & Abu, and the carpet seemed to be stuck "waiting""
Is it important to quickly pick up all the characters and even buy the items? Do they go away permanently or rise in price?
What are the benefits or disadvantages.
I started spending gems to get the dust storms cleaned up but as the come back bout ever hour until the event is over, I decided that was rob ably wasting my gems. Right?
Just continue sending your characters on the tasks that have a purple background. Eventually it will give a task to welcome Aladdin. You then gather whatever objects you need to welcome him.Just a question, I guess I am way behind everyone else. How do I get Aladdin? It says I have to have Llago and Jafar first but yo unlock them it says to complete more Aladdin tasks? I'm confused. Yhanks
