Note 1: An update (1.27.6) should be available in your app stores. Updating should add extra content.
Note 2: Consuela’s Vacuum isn’t picking up the POW so it is advised that you manually collect from the event buildings until a patch is pushed through.
It’s simple. Kill the Batman…

Apologies if this information is already out there, but I couldn’t find it — perhaps the answer is unknown. Can anyone tell me how long between the Joker timer running out and his reset?
LikeLike
I believe it’s around 24 hours as the mechanics are the same as Zeus from the Greek Life event. I’m not sure if they’ve done any adjustments since that week though.
LikeLike
Thanks but I’m pretty sure it was less than 12 hours a few days ago and according to everything I’ve since read online since, it seems to be random amounts of time he’s away. I also read on FamilyGuyAddicts that the event was extended a few extra days, but my in game timer doesn’t reflect this. I have 74 buzzers for Joker and I’d really hate to miss out on him.

Ignore the timer, they can’t change that. There will be another week.

Just wondering if anybody knows how long Joker will be available for? Is it until the end of the week or the end of the event?

You can use Catwoman Lois, Superman Peter, Harley Quinn, and Cheetah Bonnie to defeat Joker gangs, but you need to defeat Joker gangs to collect fangs to unlock Cheetah Bonnie, so you’re basically stuck with Harley, Lois, and Peter. Here’s what I’m doing: Since Batman and Wonder Woman’s quests are over, I keep sending them on the tasks that net me super vitamins. I also keep sending Herbert on the same task to get them. I am alternating between the vitamin task and the running shoe tasks for Chris and Jerome. This way, I stock up on vitamins. I keep sending Robin Stewie on the task to net health packs. Remember, it only requires TWO vitamins to fight a Joker gang. I just took out three gangs by having Lois, Peter, and Harley fight them, using health packs to heal them, fight again, heal again, and fight again. It helped me stock up on sacks to trade for Kryptonite, and I just traded in for three straight items from Wayne Tower.

Never thought I’d say this but things are progressing nicely. Just waiting for the last item (the prison) from Wayne’s Tower and am at part eight of the main quest line.
Getting Cheetah Bonnie and Joker will take a lot of time but this is intentional so I think I’m actually on track. I didn’t have that for a long time in a major event, so thanks a lot TinyCo for making this game possible again 🙂

If we fail to stop the joker on the 24 hour timer, per the notrs above, he will come back at some point, or would he be gone forever?

He will come back at some point. If you remember fight the dragon during the A Grimm Knight in Quahog event, it’s pretty much the same as that. I’d use the down time to stock up on supplies.
LikeLike
I just started battle with Joker today. It is also similar to battle with Zeus in the Greek event. But this is more difficult and time consuming as we cannot plan too far ahead by stocking up on just 16 bombs for example. The last battle may need 16 nets! Or is there a trick to plan ahead for round 4 and 5? Else I will never make it in time to earn maximum multiplier bonus.
LikeLike
Pretend the first round you used nets and the second round you used bombs. I’ve noticed more often the next would use the material you haven’t used yet. But honestly it could be random. If you’re freemium, I wouldn’t bother with going for the 4th and 5th round. Just try and stock up and wait for the Joker to leave and come back.

There really isn’t an easier way to get kryptonite other than defeating the various thugs/squatters and trading in. The key really is stocking up on kryptonite before starting the next phase.

Not to lvl 8 but the joker items are showing up in Peter and other tasks. If I do these tasks before starting the next phase, will they be in the bank when I finally get the second half of POW needed for lvl8?
LikeLike
They should be.
LikeLike
are your “stop the joker” requirements correct? My first round is 2 bombs 1 batarang and 1 net… you say 2 batarangs, 1 bomb 1 net.
Just like to try and get all the requirements for the 5 battles collected rather than battle and lose and then wait again.
LikeLike
For each multiplier, you need only 1 type of material but it varies so it’s either a Batarang, Bomb, or Net. So for the first multiplier, you need 2 Batarangs OR 2 Bombs OR 2 Nets.
LikeLike
OK. that sounds much easier than I expected.

They also seem to have changed the requirements slightly because for the third round I needed 7 not 8 items and for the fourth round I needed 11 not 12. Bit easier to get 😉

It’s because the first attack which drops 1 Hand Buzzer doesn’t count so attack the Joker once more. If you can’t then you’ll need to contact support.

So just logged in, half way through POW lvl 7, and Peter miraculously found 275 POW points. I think TC realized their mistakes. Also, different characters drop shoes, so maybe the issues here are old…many hours old. No Joker yet, but I guess he’ll drop fangs and buzzers.

I’ve been getting the same error message, and it’s definitely one of the buildings you could buy with rings, after reading Chris’ comment I went into my game and did the same thing with moving some buildings, and so far it seems like this has resolved things for me too, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this.

I was only able to buy 1 billboard. That’s the only prize that dropped POW. All the other decorations don’t drop them. I’m also stuck on level 7 with nothing else to do to progress. I have that burger store, but that’s not enough.
Usually character tasks and all decos drop level-ups. TinyCo just can’t do any event without screwing up some part of it.
LikeLike
Yeah it’s terrible that a lot of players are stuck but until they adjust the level requirements, just stock up on kryptonite.

Yeah, I’m at 75 on kryptonite. I bought Harley, but her tasks don’t help with POW either. At least I’ll have the first row of prizes unlocked, so it’s not a total downer.
I just don’t understand this game’s backward evolution. The first year, the events were great. I completed them all without spending any real money.
LikeLike
Thanks, I am pretty close to level 8. I am just not going to worry too much about it. I just did the math and I have enough kryptonite to purchase the first 7 items in Wayne Tower. I can move right along once I get there.
One more question. Quagmire needs to “explore new fetishes” to complete Harley Quinn’s first quest. Quagmire doesn’t seem to have that task.

Seems like while you were able to purchase Harley Quinn, you need to be in phase three for the task to appear.

Yeah, seems a bit much that’s for sure but they reappear every two hours.
LikeLike
Except that it takes 6 hours for Lois and Peter to heal. None of the other super heroes from the previous weeks can help. It would be nice if Aquaman or wonder women could fight them too. I think that means it will take a minimum of 10 days to get 41 fangs unless my math is wonky (41 fights x 6 hour recovery = 246 hours = 10.2 days)

Okay is anyone else in a similar situation as me. I have completed all tasks and got everything from the tower but I haven’t reached level 8 and I am at 7 1/2. It is going to take forever just killing crocs,brainiacs and battling thugs, Kane. Any suggestions.
LikeLike
Honestly, you’re in the same boat as everyone else and it’s probably because they anticipated players to get at least one of the super hard prizes that drops a ton of POW. Just keep doing what you’re doing, collect from buildings, kill Killer Crocs, and stock up on kryptonite and you’ll be ahead when you get to phase 3. Or they might adjust the levels.

Is the only way to get shoes for Cheetah Bonnie by getting the Arkum Asylum for 150 clams or is that a misprint. Doesn’t seem right?
LikeLike
I suspect there’ll be other options added soon so don’t worry about them yet. Seems like not all of phase three has been added.
LikeLike
Even if they do add more options for running shoes later on, many players will have already paid real money for Arkham Asykum thinking it would be the only way to get them. This is just as unfair. Many other games such as Simpsons Tapped Out and Disney Kingdoms, which I also play, refrain from this level of greed.

They wouldn’t release a freemium character with only a premium option to get a material. They’ll release options eventually. It’s only the first day anyway. Also note that the main feature for this phase hasn’t been added yet.

I can only validate up until part 4 of that quest as much of it is different than what’s in the files. There was supposed to be a Joker boss that you’re supposed to defeat and collect Hand Buzzers for but at the moment, I’m where you are.

Thanks. I’m seeing it very unusual the Joker’s not yet available to start collecting items for him as I thought that he’ll be either in the wayne tower prizes for this week or on a 7 day timer in the quahog asylum. Maybe tinyco’s going to release him tomorrow?

Great stuff. But I have completed everything I can for hase two and still need another half to get to POW level 8, I noticed the smallville sign dropped 10 POW but is there anything else to expedite POW points? I’ve even got all the plastic ring buildings but still need much more POW, bummer! Do any of the Thug fights yield POW?
LikeLike
Sadly the Thug battles do not yield any POW. Getting the super hard prize form Wayne Tower yields a ton of POW and would get you to level 8 in no time but it’s very costly. Honestly, a lot of players are in the same boat as you and they could adjust the levels. Just keep doing what you’re doing, stock up on the Kryptonite, and once you get to level 8, you’ll be a step ahead!
LikeLike
Thanks, the final price has expired as I only managed to scramble together about 40 Kryptonite by the deadline so I’ll have to wait and see. I also contacted TinyCo and they have forwarded it to the ‘POW team’ (didn’t even know such a team existed 😉 ), so hopefully something will be adjusted soon, as I’m now ready (unusually)!

What does get the Pow points? I have everything from Wayne Tower except the hard one and that expired a couple of days ago. I have purchased everything available in the shop. I tried to get a duplicate of the scratching post thing but it didn’t drop the Pow. I wasted a bunch of pills fighting thugs and a thug group. As far as I can tell, the only thing dropping the POWs is the croc thing. Have I missed anything?
