Ive spent a lot of time on Tapped Out and frequently found myself drawn towards Mystery Boxes. At 6 Donuts a time, the allure of a premium item was all too much. But I never seemed to win anything of terrific value.\rbr\rbrThe rewards are random, Im quite aware of that, but Homer Buddhas guarantee a premium item each time. They cost more than double at 15 Donuts instead of 6, however would they drop comparable loot?\rbr\rbrPremium items give repeatable quests, an hourly sum of $XP or a percentage boost to both $XP income. Regular items dont, however they do boost Conformity ratings which in turn provide boosts to $XP gained. Conformity ratings are capped, so an abundance or regular items will be wasted space in your town.\rbr\rbrRegular items can all be purchased through Simpson Dollars though. Aside from mega-structures such as the Popsicle Stick Tower, theres very little to spend money on at the higher levels. When you first start playing Donuts come in thick and fast, so is it wise to waste them on gambles or save for the end game?\rbr\rbrThis will need a test. I leveled a city to max, cleared out the inhabitantsbuildings so the game could award them again and acquired enough Donuts for 100 Mystery Boxes; 600 Donuts or £28. Would it be a total waste of time and money? would I get anything of legitimate value?\rbr\rbrNo.\rbr\rbrI guess the next thing to do is buy 100 Homer Buddhas.
