Pumpkin Pie Bakery Limited Time Building (LTB) – Building Payout and Upgrade Cost – Crime City
The Pumpkin Pie Bakery is well underway and now that Gree(d) has pulled a thumb out of their backside, the game is playable again. While this new item has a small footprint, it has terrible IPH and the return on investment is pretty piss poor. To fully upgrade this building will cost over $32 Billion and yield $24 Million every 14 hours. That means it costs an utter fortune and is more than likely going to get robbed once per day. Even with modifiers, the building doesn’t get much better.
Of course I have two of them upgrading, that’s just what I do. But this isn’t going to contribute much to IPH. The reward for completing each upgrade is the Pyrotechnic Pie – Atk 403,800 Def 100,900 +1% Explosive Attack. Again, another weapon with reasonable Atk, but useless Def. Attack is so lopsided these days it’s becoming laughable. When are we going to get some top heavy Defense items?
Anyway, this building is less than inspiring. The cost is far too high for low level players and doesn’t make any impact on IPH for high level players. What’s the story here Gree, what purpose is this building supposed to serve?
