Sunday Candy Time!

It’s about that time again… CANDY O’ Clock…

Ooooooooh piece of Candy…Ooooooooh piece of Candy…Ooooooooh piece of Candy…Ooooooooh piece of Candy…Ooooooooh piece of Candy…

Sixty-Four Thousand Dollar Bars Not-a-Finger Kookie Nut Pops

For more detailed information, you can find the full rundown on this here, but this post is more just a reminder.  A reminder that at 12pm PDT the candy will reset and another piece will be available to collect at a random time starting AFTER that.  So make sure you log into your game BEFORE 12pm PDT if you haven’t already collected your candy from the previous days release.

It’s almost time to find Candy #3. Per our test games and what we have seen via your comments, it seems most got the Bat Bucket/Candy first, then the Pumpkin Bucket/Candy second, so we can only assume that the next one may just be the Glowing Ghost Bucket/Candy. But still, this may vary by player. So look for any of the 3. (You may need to force close/restart your device to get it to show.)

Candy/Buckets will only appear by the sidewalks/roads.  So if you’re having trouble finding it (BEFORE 12pm PDT) try removing some of your roads to make it easier to find it on the NEXT drop. It is VERY small and can easily hide behind things, so I removed any sidewalks that run behind objects and most down to only a few sections. Just look out for the sparklies. They are narrow but go quite high up.

Day 2 Candy

Also, remember you ONLY have 12 hours from time it drops in your town to find it. So as soon as you enter your town and trigger it AFTER 12PM PDT…that time will start.

The candy is triggered each day by collecting rent from a building.  So, if it’s after 12pm PDT and you’re not seeing candy, try collecting $ from all buildings. Once you do this it should signal the candy to drop.

brian

You must have Brian unlocked in order to start the Jack-o-Lantern quests. Brian is in District 6. You will not be able to unlock Pink Brian and/or collect candy unless you are past this point. 

If you are past that, then look to see where your Jack O Lantern is. Just go to the task bar and tap on Pink Brian quest and open the info. The details will pop up right over the top of where it is. Tall buildings can hide it. I was able to move it to better spot.

 

Candy Pumpkin

So again…

1 Candy/Bucket per day will appear in your Quahog and there will be ONLY 1 in your Quahog during that 24 hours window. That Candy Resets every day at Noon PDT. So if you trigger the candy at 8am PDT today and don’t have it BEFORE 12 noon PDT…no mater the time left… it resets at Noon PDT. So the closer you start to just before Noon, the less time you have to find it.

If a Candy Bucket is available, it will appear randomly in your Quahog after you collect rent from buildings. So keep a close eye out for it on ANY sidewalk. Even those you have hidden by buildings. It can be one of the 3. Also, it is easy to accidentally tap it… so watch for just a candy too. Both are very small in size and check your Pumpkin to see if you already collected without knowing. Force close / restart AFTER collecting from all buildings to make sure it shows. 

If you do NOT collect the 1 Candy within 12 hours of it dropping in your game (or until Noon reset. Whichever comes first.), it is gone and you have no way of getting it back.  So make sure you find it and snag it up right away. That means if you collect from your buildings at … let’s say 2pm PDT and the candy bucket is triggered…you will ONLY have til 2am PDT tomorrow to find it. 12 hours.

(Side note: some have tried putting their town in build mode to find it. Mixed results of it being helpful. I just look for sparkles and don’t “hide” roads behind anything. )

The Jack O Lantern drops ANYWHERE. Candy/Bucket drops by sidewalks/roads.

Now…GO GET ME SOME CANDY!!!!

UPDATE: rebmatevol asked me to test this out, so here you go. I went into my game. No bucket.

Screenshot_2014-09-21-14-27-40

So just as suggested and in the FAQs, I tapped on a few buildings to collect money. After about 4 taps, BOOM…CANDY BUCKET. (See how lil it is?) It was right on one of the only pieces of sidewalk I have left. Sparklies floating out.

Candy Bucket Find

Now to test a few theories, I put the game in “move mode” and moved buildings around it. I could NOT see it in move mode.

Screenshot_2014-09-21-14-30-58Screenshot_2014-09-21-14-28-59

Once the building was in front of it, all I could see was the tip top of the sparkles coming out of it. (Accidentally tapped it when moving building, so I couldn’t get a shot of the sparkles above it. But here is an idea of what I COULD see. (As you can see, only a lil bit of sparkles up top showed above the building. So if it is a taller one, you may not see them at all.)

Ghost Bucket Sparkles 1 Ghost Bucket Sparkles 2

Again, this is a small item, so for those of you with “hidden” roads and sidewalks BEHIND objects, this will be a lil more challenging. Zoom in to find it. To give you an idea of just how small it does look, here is a zoomed out glance. So here is a lil test….can YOU spot it? 

2014-09-21 20.28.02

So in short, make sure as soon as the timer for candy resets you go in and tap/clear/collect ALL rent from buildings as you do not know what building collection will trigger it. (Was a building yesterday, trailer today for me.) If you still do NOT see it, force close and restart your game. (If your game is saved to an email or Facebook…you can even go as far as uninstall/reinstall.) Then try again to locate the sparklies.

  4. I think I might have missed Day 3, but it’s ok, yesterday was a busy travel day so I’m not sure when I played so oh well, better luck next time. I did have a thought though, what if the sparkling jack-o-lantern was sort of an indicator of when the candy was available? Maybe if it’s in your town it sparkles, when it’s not it’s just normal. It seems like there would be a downtime for some people and others not so much?

  5. Since I’m having problems with that am/pm stuff and the candies seem to be glitched for me:

    New candies See supposed to drop after midnight (24:00/00:00) PDT?

    And if i don’t grab it until 12:00 i need to reactivate it again?

    I’m asking since candy never dropped in the first 12 hours and only 2 dropped in the last 12 hours so far… So by now i think i already missed one, nur was checking in every 2-3 hours and collecting every rent/character

    I rearranged my town and only have 3 streets (fully visible) left after having a hard time finding the first candy (right the day of your first candy Post).

    So am i glitched and should contact tinyco or did i just screw up the times?

    • Candies are supposed to drop at 12pm PDT (which is 12 noon, not midnight). You have 12hrs to collect it from when it first appears in your town after 12pm pdt (which means you go into your town and collect rent from a building, to should appear at that point).

  19. I saw someone else mention Sexy Stewie drop rates and it reminded me of my own question; are all drop rates the same? I mean, do all rares have the same drop rate, and all epics are the same, etc? Or does it vary a little?

    Like

    • They vary within a percentage of how often they fall. So basically no…not all drop rates are crated equal. Some extra rare might fall 5% of the time, some might fall 7%…it’s all within a range for that drop

      Like

      • But is the exact percentage determined server side or client side? Do they enter a value for, say, pink champagne, or do they just designate ‘extra-rare’ and everyone’s individual app determines the actual chance with in that range?

        cause that would explain why there are always people going ‘oh hey they’re dropping like candy’ while others are like ‘why won’t it drop?!?! ragephonesmash’

            It would seem, based on how they’ve put things in the game in the past, that the Sexy Stewie costume will be around until you get it, but the Quest that involves having Sexy Stewie and Rupert is the one that is only for the weekend. Normally, limited time costumes have that label in the costume shop, but Sexy Stewie doesn’t, and there is no timer on the icon for getting the costume, just on the Rupert mission.

  29. I had a lot of hidden roads in my game, but it was set up really nice and to my liking. Butt (yes, I know it doesn’t have 2 “t’s”), I did miss one of the buckets somehow. So…… I decided to rearrange my little town again. I don’t have the most expensive portions of ground cleared, but had enough room to create very long streets from left to right and place all buildings along those long streets. In doing it this way, all street surfaces are now clearly visible. In the first line I placed the Fab 4 and Q Hotel buildings against the wooded area and ran the streets directly in front of them and continued building from there. Another thing that helped is placing everything that doesn’t earn coins into inventory until all the building was complete. All of this took about an hour or so. Hope this helps someone! Aaron

  30. You can ignore my other comment. I found one at the 3pm reset. I have a question though. Is there supposed to be one in the morning and then another after the reset for a possible total of two? I only two pieces so far was the 3pm one supposed to be the third. Just confused i guess.

    • As we try to point out in the post… Only one a day. So only one in a 24 hour period. WHEN it shows is all up to you and when YOU play your game and collect rent to trigger it. So to say when you get it, we have no clue. You trigger it. So anytime between Noon PDT today and 1159 AM PDT tomorrow…your candy bucket could show up. I hope that helps to clarify. 😉

      So there is a chance it may seem two a day if you went in at …say…8 am today and collected the one triggered yesterday…then went in after noon PDT and got the new one. It all depends on when YOU trigger them and find them. Does that help?

The question though I have is, should the candy appear the first time you claim rent on buildings after the game resets, or is the candy really completely random and can appear after the 3rd or 4th time one coolest rent from multiple buildings? I have cleared rent on multiple buildings today since the game reset and yet to see it, granted i might be blind today or something….but previously the candy has appeared after the first time clearing multiple buildings.

The point is, it’s a nice opportunity for players to get a FREE costume just for logging in and doing a little searching. That’s just my 2 cents.

        • 😦 Sorry. I wish I could help more. All I can suggest is the basics of troubleshooting. Other than that…out of the box…see if you can take the characters used for the task out of game play. In other words, try storing the buildings they came with and see if it pulls them out of the game too. If it does…Then try again to force close, restart, then go back into the game, replace the building, and see if it helps to trigger anything different.

          Other than that, TinyCo has to step in. With it being the weekend, that is tricky as no one is there outside bare bones staff to just keep the game active.
