Just leaving spare spaces next to my big buildings for my scarecrow, chompie snowman, egg baskets and blossom tree and swapping them when a payout is due.


75% bonus on the town hall , no doubt that will improve with time.

Why are you bonusing your Town Hall? That is one of the worst buildings in terms of experience per hour and total mabu consumed.

Hmmm it looked good at the top of my orderly Main Street.

The introduction of the decoration bonus stuffed that up, what are the best buildings to place?

Thanks

The point is to move the decorations around as neeeded - but that's a lot of work (I don't bother...)

Does anyone have an exp/hour list for the various buildings? Given how long its going to take to level at these higher levels, it might be worth some optimization rather than my current 1-2 of everything strategy.

Xp/hour depends on how often you collect. It basically goes down steadily with the higher level building, starting with whatever refreshes on your collection schedule.

You have to think about it both from an XP/hour basis and a number of Mabu "consumed" basis. The buildings that produce the most EXP/hour are the Candle Maker and the Lighthouse. But those also consume a ton of mabu. For example, you're better off with 3 Fizzy Juice Factories at 524 mabu consumed that you are with one Lighthouse at 800 mabu consumed (532.4 exp/hour vs 360 exp/hour). If you have sufficient mabu for every building in the game, then mabu cost is less of an issue. But I need to pick and choose personally.

It also obviously comes down how frequently you can collect. The best possible buildings are things like the logger, snack stand and bank, but you need to collect them very frequently to make it worthwhile. Next best are the mine and the blacksmith, followed by the library, apothecary, fizzy juice factory and waterworks. Then go lighthouse, farmers market, shoe shop. Others cost too many mabu and should only be added if you've maxed everything else.

But in terms of pure exp/hour, the order is Candle Maker and Lighthouse (tie) followed by Potter and shoe shop (tie), then it's back to the order above when taking mabu into account.

Unless I have my math wrong! smilie

I was bored over lunch.... I am missing Mabu for a few where I have the max number.

Exp/hour is really irrelevant. What matters is Exp/Day and that depends on how often you check the game and how often they are ready. I made the assumption I check in 8 times per day (don't say it...).

Can you sell your Town Hall? I think I remember needing it to get the Mayor (or was that vice versa?) and that allowed me to go over 30.

I want to target the ones that are 8-10 hours per day because you will easily hit them twice per day so that my exp per day will not change when my schedule changes.

You can put your town hall in storage (that's what I've done).

I definitely don't bother either. I mean, what's the rush? The quicker a player gets to the level cap, the quicker they'll sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for new content. Reminds me of the joke about the young bull and the old bull. I'm definitely an old bull.

The gem reward sounds good.

Maybe i am being too simplistic but I would have thought that adding new levels to the game would not require a great deal of programming just change a few parameters such as the number of exp .

That being said I don't like buildings that need less than an hour as I get trapped into "I'll just wait till these pay", and then something else.

Thanks for all the info I knew someone would have it all on file.
