I'm currently EST+13hrs and these were available when I woke up today, 11/27/14.

Holiday Feast Adventure: Very easily achieved by placing 6 Snack Stands, planting crops with short harvest times and using quests with short adventure times.




Knockout Jawbreakers Hut: Available with Gem Pack 2 purchase along with an additional 275 gems.

Ohh i am halfway through that birdhouse quest . Its been awhile since we got such a nice quest . I had to dig out an apothocary to place the snack stands .

Wow this must be the first production house quest ever .


<later that day >

Yay i got it .

So, a few new updates today...

Wishing Weekend confirmed! Not sure if it's active yet, I have Builda Grilla Drilla showing in my well but nobody else, but it will last until Monday.
33% off all available Skylanders until Saturday.
50% off Cali & Flynn for Friday only.

That quest was a pain. It took many, many adventures to yield the 40 eggs.

The 11 min mission was a win all over. Seemed like the higher the level, the higher the drop rate...

I agree, it seemed like only 1 in 5-7 adventures would yield an egg. Definitely started to have me worried as I knew I would not have the time to play much with Thanksgiving festivities.

It was just a 30 min little sit down and farm .

The 1 minute missions did it for me just fine, though at the start the drop rate was so low I thought I was being too cheap with them. Eventually just running around the Fire Island to collect the missions then back to the Life Island to plant more Floats(which also had a pretty small drop rate on spices) and by then I could already go back and do it again.

Any word on whats up tonight?

The only thing I was really hoping for this weekend was Halloween Hex's Hut, but no luck. They teased me when they said all alter-ego houses available!! I don't have Hex or Knock-Out's huts available (the only 2 I need).

Oh well. Fingers crossed for Christmas!

The huts worth the gems?
Or save for expensive companions first?

The huts help to get the companions, if you don't have a good gem production already.

Not sure about the giant and alter ego huts since you pay full price .

The hall of legends cost wishstones . Sooner or later Swop houses and Trap houses go on discount . Those are worth it and they give the same payout . Get them first .

Huts generate xp, gold, energy, and most importantly, gems. They are a good buy. However, if you are trying to save for a particular companion (especially Diggs), then it would make sense to wait. Diggs would probably be the only high priced companion worth it, though. All the others are great for their own reasons, but purchasing gem producers is your best bet. It may seem like it will take a while, but once you get enough going, your gem production really ramps up. I agree with the hall of legends...not really sure about Swap Houses and Trap Houses. I don't like the Swap Houses as they are best used elsewhere, but now that Trap Masters get double gold, as well (with the appropriate companion), Swappers aren't as valuable as they once were, unless you are using them for their Mt. Cloudbreak adventure. Now that I'm leveling up my Trap Masters, I'm using them more than swappers for adventures, sanctuaries, etc., but once I get them leveled up, I may change that back around and use swappers for adventures. That way I still get double gold, I can use the Mt. Cloudbreak adventure, and still keep them available for sugarbats. As we get more Trap Masters, we don't need to have them as available as swappers, especially if you know which traps you need. With sugarbats, you don't know which elements you will need, so I don't want them locked up in a house.


As for the birdhouse quest, I thought I might not get it since I was busy with Thanksgiving festivities. I only played maybe 4 times during the day and still got it. I got pretty lucky with the eggs from adventures. And luckily, I had two snack stands from another quest, so I was able to get them. I did come close to losing it as I didn't get my last play in until close to midnight. I will admit that I backed the time up a little because I wasn't sure if it ended at midnight or where I stood on the progress of the quest, but I realized I didn't need to. Even if I needed more adventures, I could have ran short ones or even used my adventure clock.
