Tom. That handy little fella .... And social interacting

TOM....That little paper boy who could

So I thought I would start off by posting about TOM and how effective he can really be.

In the early levels of getting TOM for free I found him very handy (especially when getting bacon pies, as 9 bacon pies sold quite handsomely)

I also found when I saved up enough diamonds, I will get tom as much as I could, especially during boat events. 

Now TOM comes in handy during boat events (especially in later levels) because sometimes you need items that are just impossible to find (either via neighborhood or maket place)

For Example, during the current boat event, I have found one sort of item to be very hard to come by, and I have got both versions of it

Lobster Tail and lobster Soup

I also highly recommend setting an alarm on your phone to go off when TOM is up... sounds silly BUT if you are paying for TOM then most certainly get value for  money out of him... I mean even if you have to duck to the loo at work for a quick 2 min break.. do it.. thats extra money ingame for you... just dont get fired from your job :P

When you don't need tom for events and specific items, I suggest buying necklaces if you need money, 10 necklaces sell for just over 7k gold and its a great way to make money if you are on top of your farm and after an event if you still have TOM hanging around.

It is also handy to have TOM for medium \hard to find items (due to demand) such as AXES and other items you may not get regularly (see above), a word of advice tho, TOM does not do premium items (EG duct tape)

Finally I wanted to quickly touch on social interaction. I have nearly 1000 Facebook friends and I interact with alot in a few different ways, by having friends via Facebook\Gamecentre it allows you to not only have extra peoples farms to visit, but also orders to fill, trees and bushes to tend to for thank you cards (which can get you diamonds)

 It also allows you to get extra slots in your market place, and a topic I wish to cover later (is going to be on utilizing the market place to its FULL advantage and how to manipulate your boat orders to be done with the market place.

So In Summary, use TOM during events, but remember to use him to his full advantage to get your monies worth (especially those necklaces) they can earn you quite a bit of dosh.

While TOM maybe expensive and out of reach for players who don't buy diamonds at all, he can be handy and well worth it if you get him for a day, and spend the whole day at home.

My next BLOG will be based on the NewsPaper and what to look for to make some money and gain additional premium items others may miss
