Hello There Clammers!
Phase 3 of Christmas hit our Tiny Quahogs late last week & with it brought a whole new slew of tasks and questlines to keep our magic fingers busy! We’ve already broken down the main Phase 3 questline, Profits vs. Prophets, and now it’s time to take a look at some of the side quests that popup during this third phase of Christmas.
In this post we’ll cover the questlines for Jingle Joe & Babs Pewterschmidt. We’ll also over the questlines A Very Jewish Christmas, Charity Case & It’s Better to Give (yes, I know technically this one popped up during phase 2…). This will give you guys a good indication of who needs to do what to complete all the aspects of Phase 3.
Note: We won’t be covering Jesus and Puppy Brian in this post. I will cover those guys each in their own separate post. And that info will be coming soon.
So now…let’s tackle those side quests
These questlines will be posted in order (so Five Golden Rings Pt. 1, 2…Hustle and Bustle Pt. 1, 2..and so no). So these will not necessarily be how they popup in your game.
Let’s get these side quests started with Jingle Joe in the Hustle and Bustle….

Mort starts
Have Hanukkah Mort Spin the Dreidel- 4hrs, Earns 15 Cookies, 3HC
And that’s it…so far…to A Very Jewish Christmas. Not sure if more will be added, but for now don’t think you’ve gone crazy…as this really is it.
Now let’s take a look at why it really is better to give then receive…and what it’s important to help Charities this time of the year as well. As we dive into It’s Better to Give and Charity Case..

Hello and Merry Christmas…. What is the trigger for the Babs questline? It has not yet started on mine and it has now rolled over to the final week. Granted I am still collecting items for Jingle Joe (I was away without wifi access for a week! 😦 ) and haven’t done all of the other questlines. But I don’t want to miss out on it.

Q. Top Hat Yeti
What is the health level for Top Hat Yeti.
Given that I’m assuming it’s higher than 18 it looks pretty difficult to defeat without premium characters.
Has anyone managed it?

Hmmm… let’s see…
In 24h there is a (theoretical) max of 6 attacks on Top Hat yeti using the freemium characters of Mort, Louis and Joe who average 1.5 health points per attack… (1 point or 2 points)
Max poss health points = 1.5 health points x 3 x 6 = 27 points…
Wow… that’s tough! Even with the ‘start throwing snowballs before Yeti Hibernates trick…
Has anyone managed it without using clams? I suppose it’s easier if you have Jesus!

I’ve had Joe and Babs for over a day, but I’m just not getting good enough drops with the wrapping paper to get Puppy Brian, and fighting the yeti has been very slow going. I should be good on the cookie front for both Puppy and Jesus, but I’m only getting one wrapping paper stocking for every third or fourth group of nice/green sweater procrastinators I hit. Basically, 1 stocking every 4 hours. The slow pace is really killing me, since I won’t be able to log in as often once the family arrives tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed that there’s some conversion introduced that will help on the stocking front as we move into the last week of the event.

Well Jesus has option to drop clams now and then on his task. He also helps to fight the Yeti. He has some amusing outdoor tasks.
The Puppy Brian…well he is soooooooooooo frakkin teeny n cute. Just adorable. Even his tasks.
I would say it depends how fast you are earning items. Still time in this event. If you can make up the cookies quickly, go for the Puppy then Jesus. If you have to pick one…well…that is down to personal choice of which one would make YOU the happiest.

Thanks, Bunny! I think I’ll go for Jesus first, based on the yeti fighting and clams. I feel like I’m flying through this event, so I have no doubts about getting both. The only clams I’ve spent were on Die Hard.

With all of these quests I’d like to see something in the game like a quest tracker. It can show you how far along you are on a particular quest. I can’t remember the names of all of them. When I read about them I don’t know if I finished them or not. I know we have the active ones on the side of the screen, but I think a tracker would be nice.
So far I’m only working on getting Jesus. One more yeti defeat and he’s done. I took a break from yeti to clear up some of these quests. Otherwise I’m only a few more cheer points from level 10 ( I’ll get more than enough from Jesus for level 10), and just patiently waiting for the last tree upgrade.

Has anyone beet Childish Yeti without John McClain? I currently have Jingle Joe, Mort, and Lois trying and it looks like it still isn’t close to impossible. Mathematically, you can only attack 6 times in a 24 hour period. If each character gets 1 damage each time, you will need to use all 6 attacks to be successful, If you have a life and sleep, forgot about completing this without McClain. With time quickly running out, Phase 4 will needs to be huge and give really helpful tasks,

David – It’s one OR two health points per attack. It seems to be a roughly a 50/50 chance on the damage you’ll inflict.
Right now I’m on 20h on the timer, I have 18 health points to go and I have Joe, Louis and Mort working on him. Given an average of 1.5 health points damage per hit I should be done in 4 hits (or 16h). Not easy but mathematically possible unless I mess up.
I’m more worries about Top Hat Yeti as that might be a step too far…

I didn’t know that the tap-freeze is working now. To be honest bombing these shoppers has been the easiest of the sort for me. It helps that they’re slow, don’t change directions or run away.
During the last event I was able to essentially divide my town in two by just replacing three streets with three buildings and noticed the spawns would all funnel through the same area to get from side to side so I made a short maze at that location. It’s worked again for shoppers and that thing gets stuffed with them if I give it time. No tap-freezing needed. 🙂

Has anyone else noticed that the timer for this event has been changed with the latest update to now end at 7 am PT on Dec. 31? Less time to acquire snowflake stockings for any chance to get Jesus. It would have been nice for TinyCo to let us know when they unveiled Jesus that it would be virtually unobtainable for freemium players. The one-day delay in the latest upgrade was one less day to have Jingle Joe working on defeating the Yeti and now they have shaved six or more hours off the end of the event. I play A LOT and I need 85 snowflake stockings for Jesus now in eight days. Without another way to achieve snowflake stockings besides the ill-conceived yeti tasks, the math just doesn’t work. I play freemium because I enjoy the challenge rather than just purchasing my way through tasks because that is what is fun for me (no disrespect to those players who do it different). Perhaps a converter of other stockings or non-yeti defeating tasks (with reasonable time elements) or drops from snowmen or shoppers in the next upgrade will give a realistic chance of acquiring more snowflake stockings. Short of that, having to craft Angel Bruce (?) for three or more days after the next upgrade to assist won’t be good enough if you have to restart the yeti timer and lose an entire 28 hours during that time frame. I know they are under some self-imposed pressure to end the Christmas event so they can do a weekend New Year’s mini-event (we all see that that is what they are doing, right?), but we had a Thanksgiving mini-event during American Dad. What’s wrong with having multiple events at the same time to give players a chance to finish up tasks? I have been patient since Jesus was unveiled because with George Takei and Mr. Weed I knew through smart and consistent play I could obtain them. Time is becoming shorter and shorter and I don’t see that option for Jesus with just eight days remaining. It is quite disheartening especially for a character of that magnitude during this time of year. I kind of feel “grinched” by TinyCo. I mean, it’s Jesus! I have let them know through my game about this and I hope other freemium players feel similarly.

Got Joe and Babs, but do find it irritating that they flood us with tasks/quests that require actions from characters that are busy defeating the yeti, or collecting furbals – tasks that need to be done to unlock Jesus and Puppy Brian, so the quests just build up in the side bar. Some of these tasks can be done, say, when the yeti is recovering, but most are well over the 4 hour mark, so you end up losing out. I for one am concentrating on getting my “stuff” to unlock the extra characters, in the hope that I can complete the quests later. My suggestion – use some of the other characters, or have the option to “wake up” the yeti when you’re ready to start bashing him.
