I have just spent 15 diamonds for a day with Tom, he found one item and now is asleep for 2 hours, hardly fair Hay Day, taking off the time for his sleep and mine, this is expensive. Also, how is it that none of the tools are on the list for him to find, this is the whole point of employing him. Not happy with this at all
Sorry to hear of your frustration. This is how he is by design and why there is a 1 or 3 day free trial (i believe). Also there are a few thread regarding Tom and effective ways to use him if you search the forums.
Good luck,
Happy Farming :)
For 15 Diamonds its good value especially if you can find 9 cheap diamond rings or cakes that take hours to make every two hours.
I have never seen diamond rings on the list, nor any decent tools. What do I do with all the cakes there's not a great deal to be made selling these items on the roadside shop sales.Quote:

Poor Tom-he is so misunderstood. :eek:
Yeah. I guess he's not responsible for the way Supercell programmed him.:DQuote:

Anyway i love tom! Hes awesome, I often mannage to spent 15 diamands and then just pick shovels the first few times get my 15 diamands back and then I still got 2-3 times where I can look for something else..
It keeps my smelters up running nonstop all 5 so why would i complain? And I get the diamands I spent.
That's a good strategy. I've seen many do that here.Quote:

Surely this is something Supercell could look at? I agree with posters that Tom is great for saws axes dynamite etc this is how I stock up on those items. Unfortunately I was working away in Brisbane last weekend and didnt hire him and now my smelters will be redundant until next weekend.
thanks
Best to add these ideas in the sub forums and see how many like this idea.Quote:

I have an iPhone and I quickly purchased goods when away from home as the iPad and iPhone are working on the same farm.
Only takes a minute.
i stopped using tom for jewellery cos the jewellery orders only yield (virtually useless) green vouchers for me.
Since I bought all the decorations that can be only purchased with diamonds... I will start to save diamonds for Tom. I will probably use him to get bars and bracelets, as I need more vouchers to get other decorations. Believe it or not, I actually need alot of green vouchers for the bridge. So I wouldn't mind receiving green vouchers from special truck orders...

I find hiring him for 15 diamonds a day is already way expensive (I normally try to save 100 diamonds for 10 days, bigger bang forthr buck), would you pay 10 diamonds to hire him half a day? I honestly don't think so. Anyways, Ivheaps of ore if u run short some days.
I use Tom to find tools all the time. Don't understand why they're not on you list.Quote:

I hired Tom two days during truck event and he brought me rings and necklaces for bargin that I sold for fortune and even one golden and two purple vouchers. Tom is one of the best features in game beside friends crate filling interaction. However I missed his service during sleep but I am satisfied, 30 diamonds for 1 golden and 2 purple vouchers and fine amount of cash is worth of 30 diamonds.
BTW my farm is functional one I don't have much deco and still need horses.

I hired Tom only a couple of times.
The first time I was very disappointed because I didn't know that he wouldn't find expansion tools...that's actually why I hired him. But I made the best of it and was lucky that I could send him on an errand every two hours...I made sure I had the day off. When I hire him for one day I look at it as 'during' the day not 24 hours because after all I'm not staying up all night to keep him busy.
Now the second time I hired Tom it was at a higher level (52) and it was well worth it. For 15 diamonds (1 day) I was able to get diamond rings, necklaces, and bracelets. I had more than the 15 diamonds just in rings! I guess some of us have a love/hate relationship with Tom. I love when he brings those goodies to me but I hate waiting two hours for the next run.
