Hey there Minions!
So the Romancing the Clam Event came to a close, but what about all the items we are left with? Any changes? Any additions? Well let’s take a look.
The Event is gone and we are left with a lot of really cool stuff lurking around our games. So what items now payout? Are they worth keeping out, or tucking away until another time? Here is the breakdown of them.
NEW ITEMS ADDED AFTER THE EVENT
If you won Ida, Cheryl, and Cupid you will now have their Benches they unlocked from in your Inventory Storage. They do payout $20 & 15XP every 4hrs for Cupid & Cheryl’s. Every 2hrs for Ida . So pull them out into your game if you would like. Sits on a 1×2 base.
For those of you that purchased the Romantic Thoroughfare (yes, we know the image is the Lovely Greenhouse-reported), it is now also in your Inventory Storage. (It stated animated, but mine is not. Already reported.) It also has a payout on it of $45 & 30XP every 8hrs. Sits on a 7×9 base.
PAYOUT CHANGES TO EVENT ITEMS
With the Event over, there is no longer a need or reason for Event Currency. So all those items that paid out have changed WHAT they payout now. (We got a LOT of “stuff” from this one. Lol.)
Griffin House Valentine Skin: $40 & 25XP every 6hrs

CHARACTERS TASKS BACK TO NORMAL
All those Event Currency tasks have now swapped back to regular paying ones or went away with the Event all together. Characters that had ONLY Event Currency Tasks or now swapped over to the same. $$ & XP. (A more detailed Character Profile will come later on them.)
There you go. Some basic changes that take place once an Event leaves our game. Did you notice any other changes we didn’t notate? What are you going to do with all the items from the Event? Let us know.

Sigh I only repaired the romantic thoroughfare as I read here we got to keep a version of it afterwards. I thought that meant we got to keep a building to send people on dates (with cash/xp instead of hearts), not just another waste of space building that no characters interact with. Very disappointed considering the clam price of it, 200 clams for a building that’ll never leave my inventory is a tad much.

Arnie and Cumberbatch still full price? Surely should be cheaper as no event to help with, the people who bought during the event shouldn’t complain as they got their value in helping complete the event, to pay the same price now seems a bit greedy.
LikeLiked by 1 person
There is the flip side to that… people who DID pay full price would feel the same to see someone get the same Character a few days later for cheaper. It is a fine balance. Possibly months from now? Maybe. But a day later and discounted? I think that would be a slap in the face to players and unfair. I know I would be offended at it as I paid for both.

Hi Bunny,
Maybe a bit soon granted, but my point stands if you bought them during the event they contributed something and you reaped the rewards so were worth their price ie more, now they don’t so are surely not worth as much? like January sales after Christmas if you went went without you’d got them cheaper or have the enjoyment on the day 🙂
Hopefully after a round 2 of best of 2014 box we get a best of 2015 box.
LikeLike
I get that… but again, there is a flip side… they may STILL have a worth after the event that would compare to that during (honestly Benedict hit so late he really had no bearing on the Event). 😉
Games run a lil differently than market sales, but I do understand what you are saying. I am just looking at it from a business stand point, you put something on sale days after it is bought… people will be back to DEMAND a refund for the difference. A very fine line. Months later, there is definite depreciation in value of an item so more of a possibility to put it on “sale” without extreme backlash. If you buy an iPhone today for $500 and it goes on sale tomorrow for $300, I would guarantee you would be heading back asking for a refund. Lol. Make sense?
All that bigger picture mentality of things are not as simple as they seem. So much more complexity can go into a single item than a person assume does. 😉
Another best of box would be cool in the future. I liked it. 😉

Same here. Benedict was so last minute… I really hope he has much more coming for his use. I got him…well… cuz it is HIM! Otherwise as a functioning Character, he was almost too late to help make much difference. 😉

I’ve got cupid in my task bar to get things for him but of course the valentines and the cupid statue aren’t available. I assume the task to get him will disappear soon.
I have the theater from the V-Day event but it doesn’t do anything but take up space. I hope it gets changed to cough up some coins, otherwise it will just get shoved into my inventory permanently, which would be a bummer as it is a cool looking building.

Arnold and Benedict stuck around as they were kind of a “side addition” to the event. The task will go. Make sure you are updated in your app market for all the removal.

The happy wishes fountain finally works like it did in the event area, which is really cool. Plus, and I don’t know if this is a glitch, two statues, cupid’s and brian’s, and the fountain are giving me money. When clicked they don’t pop up like buildings though so that’s strange. Oh, and cupid is gone from his throne. Did they do that just for the people who got him? It would be weird to have two cupids in my town, but the deco looked much cooler with cupid tethered to it.

Cool article and I put up most stuff from the event that did not pay out plus thanks for the heads up about the benches I need to get them out since I did not know they were in inventory.

Not really. It is actually EXTREMELY rare to lose any item in the process. All progress is untouched. It even won’t store anything that’s in use. I like it actually.

It was that default setting we had talked about where putting event items in the inventory would cause them to disappear when the event ends. Is it safe to store items now?

They never really “disappeared”. I know there are times the counts seemed off, but the items were still there. Like I said. I JUST nuked my town like an hour ago and all my stuff is still there in Inventory. Proper counts. If you ever do see something missing and checked every single item in there… let them know right away. It all should be functioning proper now.

I thought I was too… until I realized the image for it was all wrong (Lovely Greenhouse). That’s why I posted the image to here, so others could see it’s the wrong icon and may just zoom past it not realizing the words say “Romantic Thoroughfare” and missing that it is the Thoroughfare.
If other truly do not have it, they do need to be alerted.
