Halloween Event calculation…

5 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 20 items are required, for a total of 65 items needed.
– 9 days means you need to farm 7.2 daily
– 3/8 payout, then that’s 19.3 spins daily
– 3 stamina minimum per spin, 57.8 stamina required.
– 4 stamina per hour = 14.5 playing hours per day
– 16 waking hours daily = 90% play rate

If 75 items were needed, one would need to play 16.7 hours daily, leaving no margin against bad luck in spins.

Assuming that we get +9 items from a daily chest, then the player only needs to farm 56 items, playing 12.5 hours daily – that’s very reasonable if you actually do things during the day… :D

The decision to give an item per day via the chest is a good change, versus hunting and pecking for potions. Yes, numerically, it’s about the same time and payoff, but it’s clearly better. First, the video monetizes the time. Second, it takes the risk out of bad luck. Third, it flattens play across active and busy players. Major kudos here, it’s a great solution.

So it looks like Rovio paid good attention to the last event, and incorporated feedback to make things reasonably doable. Every player should be able to get the class.
