I bought that scarecrow for 45 red seals. It is not right that they take it away. I would have never wasted those seals. The other items gave a time limit on them before they would disappear. The scarecrow gave no time limit. Players are pissed, and I have seen a couple of high level players fade out now too.
lmao... ok, I think I started something here. I just received 6 gifts from a player here on Kongregate. Thank you and I will get them back to you... smiles
I have a very generous giver of gifts during the event and just now too. I wish I could return the favor but I do not have many red gems to buy gifts. I guess I could send each one back each day (4 large gifts). I gifted 1 large and 1 small back in the event but I only have 181 gems left. They are from the other game site I think. I wish I had started there.
You can click the task line to see what matters most. Some tasks give you "none" to complete. I just let those sit until later on. If you need a sugar to get going, just request.
I just noticed on that scarecrow. Sometimes he offers a pumpkin that is orange and only has 3 hits to it. But I just watched him flash a darker pumpkin over his head so I traded with him for that because that pumpkin will count as 5 hits. You need 20 hits to kill a pest, which means 4 of those darker pumpkins will = 20 hits. He takes 1 creepy detail and 1 instruction to give you a orange or darker pumpkin.
There is a trap you can buy with 1 red gem. It will bring 3 pests. The witches and garbage bots just drop some pumpkin bombs now and then. I don't kill them completely though, only till they drop something. Too many pipes wasted. I just use 4 pipes on the witch and I think it was 6 pipes on the garbage can bot. I did waste 45 reds on the scarecrow so I can trade him stuff to kill the pests. Check the purchasing shop where we buy buildings and things.
BEWARE: Holographic projector task. After completing the task, "First Trap" where you need to create, set, and collect 3 traps, it starts a "timed" task where you have to make 14 rivets in 4 hours. You can only make 4 rivets per hour normally without using stamps. Total time to make 14 rivets = 3 and a half hours.
