    Doing the Pumpkin quests efficiently without driving yourself crazy

    Okay, this isnt rocket science, but I am seeing stuff in various threads that people may not be aware of, so I thought I'd put this all down in one place so everyone would be aware....maybe other people have some suggestions/ideas as well (please post), but these are the things I believe we have learned about the Pumpkin quests so far while playing them, reading the forums, etc....


    1) Dont start another time-related quest along with a Pumpkin quest
    Looks like (from other posts) that whenever the other quests timer ends.. it will also end the Pumpkin quests timer. Best to just focus on the Pumpkin quests until its all over with, IMO.... avoid the bug.

    2) Dont even think of touching your devices time when a Pumpkin quest is in progress (ie for 72+ hours at a time)
    Based on other posts, it looks like the anti-cheating logic added for fuel consumption is also in effect for the Pumpkin quests. If the game sees that quest timer move oddly... looks like it will trigger a failure of the quest mission.

    3) Looks like each Pumpkin quest is going to arrive every 3 days or so.
    Just based on how long we had to wait between the first one and the second one; closer to 2.5 days really. . . .looks like they come out based on some global timer and not based on when you finished/started the previous quest. .. so hey if you are done with the quest you can go do other things and save up your fuel tank once its about time.

    4) Pumpkin tracks probably appear based on fuel generation rate
    All done with your pumpkin tracks and waiting for the next one? Well dont sit there waiting....it looks like you get one pumpkin track appear every time you have earned enough fuel to play it (ie every 10,14,20 minutes depending the Tier of the track if you have the Platinum Knight)). Or maybe its just a random timer between 10-20 mintues... I dont know. But bottom-line... they dont appear very quickly.

    5) Most time-efficient way to do pumpkin tracks
    Looks like you can only get so many tracks on the screen at a time; about 50-60 fuels-worth, it seems to me. Waiting longer... wont give you any more tracks on the screen. (You can test this out by waiting three hours and then see how much fuel it takes to do all the pumpkin tracks you get). That works out (for me, with the Platinum Knight outfit) to be about 100-120 minutes. Wait much longer than that, and you are not going through those pumpkins as fast as you can. So just play once every 100 minutes or so and do all the collected tracks at once. Note this also fits fairly nicely with the slot machine schedule if you want to add it in too. . .

    6) Best way to use gems may be to get the 100-pumpkin loot wheel item
    Looking ahead....its obvious they are just going to give us more and more pumpkins to smash.....we are already doing about 2800 for this second quest, in 72 hours. Where will it end; 5000 pumpkins? 10000? Yuck. I have some gems saved, and DO have another life to live, so.....personally I speed things up using gems on the 100-pumpkin loot wheel item; just to get this OVER with.

    Any other ideas?

    This is basically what I'm doing. Play the slots, set a timer for 90 minutes, use all remaining fuel collecting pumpkins (takes about 10 minutes), rinse and repeat.

    I haven't seen 100 pumpkins on the wheel, maybe that's unique to iOS? I've seen 10, 25, 40 and 60 on Android...

    Me either; after a few hundred of these tracks done, its always been 10,20,40,100 on IOS, right? Thats... weird Android would have a different set. How does this kind of difference creep in?

    I was wondering why I hadn't seen any of these 100 pumpkin sets on the loot wheel. That's a big difference for us Android players. Ugh, what a grind this pumpkin stuff is. That and the first Halloween track was one of the more bland tracks, I got platinum on my first try and I don't think that's impressive at all.
