Disney Magic Kingdoms

[wilkeliza]

Well, I started playing this game a week ago and for some reason wasn't added to NBC until about 5 days ago, so my only progress has been welcoming Jack and building the lab. I'm happy with that, though!! My BIGGEST accomplishment?? Reading all 215 pages of this thread! Happy Halloween!! Hahaha

Primary lesson learned?? I'm so glad I started this game late! Fewer bugs and plentiful content ahead! (Working on welcoming Bo Peep.)

Thanks for all the accumulated wisdom!

New players had to welcome California Screamin before they could start NBC challenge so that is probably why it took a couple days before it was offered.

I am disappointed that Donald's costume was/is so hard to get. Does anyone remember the developers talking about some special effect when you have them all in costume? Has anyone been able to see that? It sounded like you needed all the costumes before Halloween.

All Halloween costumes besides Mickey's and Goofy's are not limited to the event. Before the event started, there were other characters that could collect Donald's fabric, so I expect them to be back once the event is over.

I'm down to only needing 2 dice and some pumpkin heads to get Oogie. Dice have NOT been dropping easily for me, but I'm hoping to have this wrapped up tonight.

Still have a day left! You got this!

I can't believe you read everything LOL

Is there a real downside if I don't finish up all the NBC quests? I'm focusing on leveling those characters up while it just costs pumpkins (I have so many of those) and don't really care if all I'm missing is reading the content (which I can find online).

The only suggestions I can offer is to run the NBC parade float, make sure you run all of your characters, and if you want Oogie so badly and either have a lot of gems or are willing to pay for gems, you can buy him with gems. On his screen that tells you how many pumpkins, die, and Oogie hats you need, tap the button that you'd press to welcome him and it'll tell you how many gems it'll take to buy the remaining items. It's pretty steep, though, so I'd wait until a little over an hour left in the event to do that(although I think as long as you're in the welcoming process, even if the event ends, you can get Oogie).

When you purchase the remaining items the text reads it will also skip the welcoming timer. So you have that as well, not that you need an hour to welcome him too.

Thank you for reply I'm on Trick or Treat and have 197 gems. If I spent them shortening the quests would I reach Oogie or would it just be a waste of my gems. Again Thank you for any advice or help.

You're about where I am (didn't start playing until recently). I doubt there's any way you are getting to Oogie Boogie since you're not even to Sally yet, but then again I don't use gems to rush things so I'm not clear how much that would accelerate you. If you don't already have Pluto and Zero I think your gems would be better spent on one of those.

I bought Zero at the very beginning of event, but the drop rate on things has been extremely poor so it has taken longer to do things. Well here is hoping they extend it.

 

[BaxterSaysMeoww]

I only need 4 more dice and 5 more hats for Oogie.. I hope I can make this!

 

[wilkeliza]

I still haven't welcomed Sally so I don't think I have hope for Oogie.

No, quests will still be there after the event ends. But I recommend not leveling up NBC characters because those "unneeded" pumpkins currency will convert to GEMS after the event ends! Hope this helps!

I think someone earlier posted that the Incredibles coins converted at 2,000 coins per gem, with a max of 45 gems. If true here, that would be 90,000 of the pumpkin coins max. I currently have 180,000 coins, so I am also trying to use up as many coins as possible that may just go to waste in about 18 hours.

EDIT: a search online says that there was a 40 gem conversion max, which would equate to 80,000 coins now. So, anything above that (if the same conversion this time around) would be wasted.

If you're only at Trick or Treat, I don't see it happening, unfortunately. Those gems would go real quick. I would just focus right now on getting Sally before the event ends. At some point in the future they'll open up NBC again (maybe not until next October, though). I doubt they'll extend it. They extended it one day this time, but only because of the nationwide computer problems a couple of weeks ago.

Well yes if you have that many than no point. I only have 70k and am trying to get to the 90k mark before the end. I assumed the other poster was in a similar boat.

 

[mmmears]

I mentioned I had many, many pumpkins, but I wasn't specific I guess. have almost 140K pumpkins, so yeah I know I'll lose some of them. I'm not counting on them all converting to gems or even magic. I'm trying to spend a bunch of them now. Also, from what I remember about the Incredibles event, I had a few of them ready to level up and when the event ended I needed more items than before to upgrade them.

Oh I'm so glad I did! I was about to come on the board and go: "oh my goodness guys don't you love chests? They give you free stuff!!" But now that I know my crowd I will not say such things... Hee hee (I got really lucky with chests and got Jet Packs pretty much right away, and I love watching it go! The kiddos wiggle in their seats in anticipation before it starts. I also got the infamous Michael Jackson glove in a couple days and haven't bought anything yet so they've been kind to me.) Wish I'd bought the Pluto promo though.

 

[evilqueenmindy]

oogie currently being welcomed. Whew!
Now I can try and get the rest of these NBC characters levels up before the pumpkin currency is gone.

The promos will come around again. They rotate every so often between premium characters you haven't bought during non-event times.

Thanks I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully I can make it to Sally. Maybe they will reopen it at Christmas (It is the Nightmare Before Christmas) after all.

One thing to remember about the end of this event, and I apologize if it has been brought up already but I can't be bothered scrolling through pages and pages to be sure it hasn't... after the Incredibles event, the totals needed to level up characters had changed quite noticeably. Where one character needed 10 hats, they suddenly needed 15. So watch your totals on any characters who are ready to level up, especially since we only have half a day left.

Me? I'm saving my 24-hour Jack level up to 10 until just before the event ends. This way I can have him moving up BEFORE they change the totals required on him!
