Repelled Poles – A Crafter’s Choice Event (#3)

The 3rd Crafter’s Choice Event is called Repelled Poles.

We have just under 7 days to complete all the gifting, begging and to collect (craft) our rewards.

 

DETAILS

The Loot items that can be crafted in the Repelled Poles event include these 2 items;

Magitude

Black Jack

You get to choose whether to build the Magitude or the Black Jack or both. Both items have to be crafted independently from each other and both item require consumables in order for you to craft them.

HOW TO GET Mag Energizers

The consumable item that you need to collect for this event is called ‘Mag Energizer’.

You collect these parts by:

Feeds: Earn up to 30 parts (30/30) per day by having your friends click on your feeds. You can post a feed every 2 hours (provided you have not reached the daily limit) and get a maximum of 10 parts per feed.

In addition, you can earn up to 10 parts (10/10) per day by clicking on your friends' feeds.

Jobs: Get up to 5 parts (3/5) per day as loot drops while doing jobs.

Friends Clicking On Your FEEDS	30
You Clicking On Your Friends FEEDS	10

Total Mag Energizer You Can Collect Each Day	45
Total Mag Energizer You Can Collect In 7 Days	315
* NOTE* Lock Pick Bonus Could Grant You 5 More If You Are Lucky Enough To Get The Mag Energizer To Drop While It Is Active.

DEFICT OF PARTS

Total Parts Needed To Build And Upgrade	386
Total Rim Spinners You Can Collect In 7 Days	315
Deficit Of Parts	71

Since there will be a deficit in the number of parts needed to craft both the Magitude and the Black Jack to emerald level it will cost players about 59 RP’s, minimum, to completely master this event. Unless there is something I am not seeing. 

The best strategy appears to get your loots upgraded before you do your builds. If only for the skill points that come with the loots at Ruby and Emerald level.

 

Your items will be added to your inventory once you have COLLECTED them. You can only collect once the 'Collect After' timer has expired. Collecting items will cause the event to end.*

* If you fail to collect the items before the beginning of the next event, items built will automatically be added to your inventory.

Taste The Triumph – ChefVille Cross Promo

Mafia Spirit has located the server image for the ChefVille cross promo that we expect to invade Mafia Wars this coming week sometime. The ChefVille cross promotion will be called ‘Taste The Triumph’. 

You will be leveling up to get a Ruby level Confectioner.

We still don’t know how many levels you will need to advance in ChefVille to get the Ruby level Confectioner.

I would expect this cross promo to resemble ‘The Ville'’s’ cross promotion that had us trying to reach level 12. We may need to level up more than 12 times. We won’t know for certain until the cross promo is released.

The AppData.com stats for ChefVille may soon rival The Ville’s stats. These cross promos are a clever way of driving the numbers up for Zynga’s games.

The problem for Zynga is the inability to retain the players once they have them. As you can see in the graph (above) for The Ville’s DAU the number of active daily players of The Ville are already on a slow decline since the peak of the games Daily Active Users on July 27th, 2012. I’d expect ChefVille to follow suit.
