>># Player submitted Tips for Idle Frontier Created: Oct 7, 2021 Last updated: **Nov 2, 2021** Hello. (10-7-21) I am moving the Tips section of the weekly event post to this standalone post to save room over there. Please reply with any tips that you want to share. I will add some to the top as people comment on them, time permitting. (10-14-21) **Very important**. I just found this after playing for a long time. You DO want to read this. It describes the events and the managers and other important items I cannot believe I did not know until today. It was like stepping on a rake. https://idlefrontier.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040636471-Events Thanks, Todd **Tips:** --- (Thanks to **Molly2405**) “Remember, save the task of spending 1k tickets for example in earlier towns until you don’t have new tasks so you aren’t stuck with a task asking you to spend 200k!” --- (Thanks to ** ?**) '"Remember to not do all 12 task before moving onto the next town otherwise there is a penalty in later towns. There is a maximum number of offered tasks per game, likely to bit hit at any time." --- (Thanks to **JeffB761** 9-30-21) *TL;DR: Pick one production manager to focus on upgrading the entire event. One of the last 3. If purchasing (with beans) manager cards, only buy the "holy trinity" and the production manager you choose.* **Purchasing Manager Cards** * Do not buy all the manager cards available, only buy the "holy trinity" and focus on one production manager (more on that below). * A stack of 20 common (brown) cards will cost 1070 cans of beans. Price increases by 3 for each card purchased. * A stack of 10 rare (blue) cards will cost 1200. Do not buy these unless it is the event currency manager. Price increases by 10 for each card purchased. *Suggested purchase priority: Event manager > focused production manager > trading post > stagecoach **Upgrading Managers** * Pick one production manager to focus on upgrading the entire event. You will never have enough beans to upgrade everything. Even 250 bean upgrades will hurt later on when you need >1k beans to upgrade better managers. * Do not focus on or upgrade rare (blue) card production managers. You will never have enough of these cards and it is a waste of beans to upgrade them. *The last 3 production managers will always have the highest production rates at each manager level after the first level. * Look at the Mystery Box reward cards to help determine which manager to pick. The yellow card business is usually a good choice unless that business uses a blue card manager. * Upgrade only when you need to for bounties or automating. If you upgrade too much, it will be harder to complete "Upgrade Manager" bounties. * As much as you may want to, based on your Mystery Box rewards or the number of cards you have, do not switch the production manager you are focusing on. ---

Added help link to thread starter post. Apparently internal linking is not blocked. I feel giddy.
