Quest for Stuff Quick Walkthroughs: District 9..Building a Blimp and Unlocking Tom Tucker

Hello there Clammers!

We last left off our walkthrough we had unlocked Stewie and Carter (oh that stupid plutonium!)  And now that’s Stewie’s in the game who wouldn’t expect a little mischief?  We pick our walkthrough back up with Stewie and Brian….and their quest to build a blimp.  (note you have to complete the precious metal questline before the blimp questline will start for you)  After you’ve completed building a blimp that’s when you’ll unlock District 9 and start the quest to unlock Tom Tucker…

The Downtown District is where you’ll unlock Tom Tucker and Mayor West (and a few other surprises),  These two characters have appeared locked in the game for quite some time & MANY of you have been asking just when they’ll appear.  Well now we’ll finally see what they can do!

This will be a little different than past District walkthroughs, since it will be released in stages.  So we’ll start part 1 with unlocking the Blimp, opening the Downtown District & unlocked Tom Tucker.  At this point there are no more quests, until the next phase of District 9.

Unlocking characters and items in the Downtown District will take a lot of patience, as the list of “Stuff” required to unlock is longer and the quantities of each are greater.  Take your time, try not to get frustrated when the items don’t appear.  Try a different task to unlock the item, or try working on a different item.

So let’s pick our walkthrough back up with Brian and Stewie and Stewie’s quest to build a blimp…

District 9

Just a reminder
To unlock characters
: once you’ve collected all of the “Stuff”, you’ll need to go through their items again and tap the ones with check marks.  Once you’ve gone through each one the lock over the character’s head will turn gold and show unlock.  At this point tap the character again to fully unlock the character.

As you get further into the game it becomes harder to earn the items needed to unlock the characters.  Be sure to check out the Materials page to see the odds of the items and who can help you unlock them.

Remember this won’t start until you’ve completed the precious metals questline….

Open the Downtown District
downtown district

Repair Quahog 5 News- To repair Quahog News you’ll also have to clear the surrounding land.  There are 3 new patches of land in the Downtown District.  Each costs $14,000 and takes 20hrs to clear.  Repairing Quahog 5 News costs $22,000 and takes 8hrs. 

Completed Task Earns $600, 400xp

By repairing the News station you’ll find Tom Tucker and that triggers the “Amazing Tom Tucker Deal!”  Basically if you purchase Jake Tucker (50 Clams), Le Moustache Boutique (175 Clams) and Tom Tucker’s Dressing Trailer (225 Clams) you’ll get back 50 clams.  So basically spend 450 Clams get back 50.  This lasts 3 days and starts once you unlock the News Station.  (more details about these buildings a little later in this post)

At this point the questline stops…however you can still unlock Tom Tucker.  Here’s what you’ll need to unlock him:

Microphone20 Microphones (Uncommon): Earned by Make Chris Rage Sing in the Shower OR Make Stewie Put on Variety Show OR Make Brian Put on Variety Show

Action Slate12 Action Slates (Rare): Earned By Make Brian Direct Original Webisode OR Get From Quahog 5 News OR Get from Tom Tucker’s Trailer

Satellite10 Satellites (Extra Rare): Earned by Make Stewie Improve TV Reception OR Make Peter Grind His Gears OR Get from the News Truck

Mustache Cream8 Mustache Creams (Extra Rare): Earned by Make Stewie Give Rupert a Mustache OR Make Dr. Hartman Test New Hair Growth Elixir OR Get From Le Mustache Boutique

Also, opening District 9 unlocks a few new buildings for you…here are the details on the new buildings:

decoration_newsvan@4x News Truck– $18,000 Drops Satellites

building_tomTuckerTrailer@4xTom Tucker’s Dressing Trailer– 225 Clams, Always Drops Action Slates

blimphangerBlimp Hanger- 125 Clams, Always Drops Propellers (I know some of you are curious why this would drop propellers when it doesn’t unlock until after you build the blimp.  However, I believe once D9 continues to unlock you’ll be required to build more blimps than just the first one…but we’ll see as it progresses)

mustacheboutiqueLe Moustache Boutique– 175 Clams.  Always Drops Mustache Cream.

So there you have it my friends…the complete details on District 9…so far.  More as it unfolds!

What do YOU think of District 9 so far?  Thoughts about the blimp?  What do you think will happen with the next release?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

    • Actually, you didn’t get that message because you haven’t cleared District 9. You got that message because you haven’t paid to upgrade your workers. With only one worker, you can only perform one “build” task at a time. So, while you are clearing land, you cannot build another building.

    All i do is just keep getting stuff for the most important aka time limited or i start unlocking characters as they are introduced and saving the latest ones for last!
    Also when it takes far too long to get items, i will give a character a switch to a different task then do the item one again! I have found that switching up occassionally will trigger an item! That is how i got my eyeballs for Anime Peter plus constant persistance!
    I am sooooo ready for an adding friends outlet besides FaceHell! LOL

  22. So after finally building the blimp I have to wait 20 hours to clear two patches of land, then another 20 hours to clear the third patch, and then another 8 hours just to repair the News building? Two days of doing nothing before I can even collect for Tom? Is that right?

    Sorry, but these waits are really getting ridiculous. I don’t mind having to try for more extra rare items and all, but at least I feel like I’m doing something when waiting to see if I got the item. 48 hours just for the right to collect them really puts you off.

    • That’s right. I know it seems crazy but I think it’s designed to stretch the District out to the next launch point.

      • Makes sense, although it took me until now to build the blimp, and it’ll take until Wednesday evening to start collecting for Tom, with the next part unlocked Thursday.

        I know the real point is likely to sell clams to make it go faster, I’m just saying, I’d rather be collecting stuff, even lots of it, even epic level stuff, than sitting on my hands waiting for land to clear.

  26. I am just wondering how people are approaching the Prisoner Meg/Blimp tasks. Myself, I have had Brian and Stewie do the parts gathering in time order from shortest to longest (avoiding the blue plutonium until I had Prisoner Meg unlocked at least to have one more person trying to get those). I also like the extra rares on low time, as it reduces frustration levels for me. The eyes for Anime Peter were just the worst just to unlock a tertiary character (long task time with only two character task to get them) and almost ended my game.

    I also put Meg on getting plutonium instead of working to complete her prisoner persona questline. She has a go to school task I am ignoring – for now.

      I approached it by rarity of items. I actually didn’t have Meg yet, and got all 5 plutonium in one day from Stewie and Brian, dropping every time as if they were common. I’ll take it haha. The rest has been fairy easy and I will be unlocking it tonight once I get my final Control Panel.

  37. I get confused reading some comments at times and absolutely everyone is entitled to their own opinion so I am not ripping on anyone for having views that are not my own. The game play on this game is about doing tasks that drop items at different rates. The first few characters the amount of items needed are low, the tasks are short, the rate is almost anytime and the amount of characters and buildings that can drop the item are higher. The further you go into it the more challenging it is and obviously the longer it takes to unlock skins, characters district etc. The first truly challenging character was Tricia with those evil epic eyeballs to unlock a costume for Peter. The second was Stewie with both the amount of items and the length of time it took to get those items..and the fact that those items were never guaranteed to drop after waiting so long. Face it from here on out it is not going to get any easier kiddos.
    I learned a lesson from the Simpsons tapped out. Think I started playing it 6 or so months after it came out and grinded it out..like everyone else I wanted to be the top level as well and for close to 4 months every chance I could I went through all the missions and finally I was at the top level..and from there I had to wait for an update for a month for three days worth of playtime..then I had to wait another month for a couple days worth of stuff..etc.. it became boring fast..it sucked..now the few events they have is the only reason I am still playing.. I think Tinyco learned from this as well. A person that starts the Simpsons today will have a fun time for about a year..then be maxed and bored as well.
    Besides some dead time here and there towards the beginning of the game Tinyco has released a lot of gameplay..and normally by the time you finish the tasks or challenges they give you the release more stuff. I personally love this formula because there is always something for you to do and it keeps my friends who just started playing from catching up to me in a month or so. If this type of gameplay isn’t your thing then you must make a decision if you want to keep pla

  42. I’m so excited for district nine and more characters but I honestly think that 225 clams for Toms trailer is too much. I contemplated the purchase and was like no. I just paid almost that much for Buzz Killington and he came with a house. After spending so much on the last event I feel that right now is not the right time to be releasing items that cost that much. Watch people are going to be pretty upset over the price. I think 100-150 clams would have been better.
