Help and tips on achieving your masteries.

As promised on another thread, here is a few HELP NOTES - Not that complicated at all... Firstly, MOST of my machines were maxed up to full slot wise, as soon as I was able, apart from the jam maker, the jewellery kiosk, and the smelters... These machines have such long production times it's not worth it at all, so five slots in each of these is sufficient. Get five smelters as soon as you can also...


Whilst you are playing, keep producing all your short term items to keep fully stocked, and when you stop playing (even for an hour or two...??? lol.) then start producing your longer term stuff. Most people tend to do this overnight anyway, which is common sense. Just try to keep everything as busy as you can, for as long as you can...


Any time you can have Tom, use him, because he is one of your biggest assets in the game - me and the missus are both fortunate enough to have had him on a continual basis since day 1, but I am aware that there are a lot who can't... Even one day would be a big help if you can...?? When I was doing the jewellery kiosk mastery for eg, I kept sending him for alternate gold and silver bars, because those smelters take forever... lol. Then just keep making necklaces (never the rings, because they require a diamond each)


It may not seem necessary, but get all your pets as soon as you can. The reason being that you get loads of goodies when you feed and call them, and these include your shovels, dynamite, and TNT for your mine... (You do get diamonds regularly when mining, which in turn, could help you get Tom for a day...) Very hard to get them all now, due to the scarcity of gold vouchers, but I obtained all the pets before the fishing update.


Some of the machines DO take a long, long time, but they are all achievable with patience, plus a lot of playing time...!! Earlier level players should be able to get a lot of hours racked up on two or three machines at once, provided the slots can be maxed up to full...

Hope this helps a little bit, and if anyone has any questions on individual machines, I will try and answer as best I can.

Thanks for the fab advice! :) I think it will really help a lot of players.

I think the hardest ones are the smelters, jewelry, candy machine (haven't got yet) and feed mills (even though the feed mills are working constantly)

You're definitely right though, just gotta be patient, it will take time! :D

For the smelters and the feed makers... If I run two machines from 7:00 to 8:00, does that count as 2 hours towards the total amount used for each machine? The mastery is achieved for all of them at the same time, right?

Yes, that's correct...

John.

Great advice! I wish I had known this when I first started playing. I only recently...like in the last month maxed out the slots on most of my machines....I also only went five slots in my smelters. Sometimes my biggest dilemma is deciding what to send Tom after.:confused:

i haven't get my mine repaired...im not sure whether i should repair or not because i seldom produce bars and jewelry at the moment...

As for the pets, all i get is xp from them only?

you get xps hence you get expansion items too. i have 8 horses and 6 dogs and i get 5 expansion items whenever i wake them up.

thanks!! any tips for getting the mastery for the coffee kiosk? do you make coffee 24/7 and if you do how do you manage to get all the sugar and cream needed? i find myself dreading to make coffee items each time because my sugar, cream, coffee beans and cocoa deplete so quickly! same goes for the bakery. those bakery items take really short time to make and the one that takes the longest is the cookie but it uses brown sugar so...

anyway i used to do metal bar orders and i realized i never have enough to bars to make jewelry so i trash those bar orders now. i have been having tom for the past 30 days continuously now and i think its pretty tiring cuz i use him for 10 days each time and everytime i can barely make enough diamonds to rehire him again. i usually make between 90-100 diamonds per 10 days so its really tough. as i level up i find that there are less repeated orders and lots of high xp ones for truck orders so im doing a lot of them. this means i also have to get tom to fetch other items and not just shovels alone, this makes getting back diamonds even tougher. sigh dilemma.

The coffee kiosk - the longest production item is the raspberry mocha I believe (30mins) so max out your slots for starters if you can... My dairy production is always cream, cream, cream, cream, butter, repeat, and my cheese stuff always gets put in starting about 8pm... The sugar mill is white, white, white, white, brown, repeat, then start the syrups off at about 8pm for their overnight production... It's surprising how quickly they add up... I hardly have any ornaments or decs, and so a great deal of coffee and fruit bushes and fruit trees, cocoa trees, etc, are continuously on the go... Just w♥♥♥♥ any old thing out in the bakery...!!! The muffins are best option as they don't use your sugar... Everything in the game is a dilemma, it's just how you solve it that's the problem... lol.

John.

Thanks for the info on how you manage your sugar mill and dairy, John - very helpful! Have been trying to figure this out myself lately and your way makes sense and is simple enough for me to remember :)

Thank you for the help I have a question though that I've heard mentioned by different ones it no one has answered. How many slots on a machine is the max and are all the machines the same?

You can expand up to nine slots on all the machines.
