Bakery Strategies

Hello!

I am currently in the level 3 at the Bakery and I would like to reach level 4 without stress.
So, I created this topic because I need some help. Untill level 4 I need to get 40k points 0.o I don´t have very recourses, but I want to know your strategies and tips.
Thank you for your time!

Have a great year!

 

Ligzy, the way I did it was by using 5 pinkie pies a day to level up. (The price for them was a bit lower back then.) They give 270 trade points each, and even more if you open the runes in the tree of wisdom that increase trade points by up to 25%. Just keep an eye out for cheaply priced pinkie pies in the market, and buy them when you can. You may also ask neighbors to send them as gifts. I know you have at least one neighbor who'd be happy to send you a few Good luck!

 

Thank you very much, I will follow your strategy! And I think I know the neighbour you are talking about...

 

Ligzy, thanks for asking this question as I've been wondering the same! If anyone knows the pinkie pie pie equivalent for Confectionery I'd be very grateful!!

 

The confectionery is a bit slower than the bakery. I used either eggnog or lavender jam, whichever was cheapest. Using pink jelly is probably the cheapest option, but very slow

 

Thankyou Mir..are eggnog and lavender jam the equivalent to alot of points then?

 

From the FAQ:
Pink jelly 50 points
Eggnog 100 points
Lavender jam 125 points

If you open some of the Marmelade Mania runes, the points increase a bit. But there are more important runes to open first

For comparison: Pinkie pie pie gives 270 baker points.

 

Ever think of Sage Macaroons for Bakery ?
125 points running about 5,000 CCs in my market.
PPPs run 270 points around 10,000 CCs.

 

Banjo, thanks for the reminder to look at other products. When I did the comparison a while ago, pinkie pie pie was so cheap, but now it is often over 10000CC.

The best deals I found right now in my market
Pumpkin pastry 50 points; 1000CC; 20 CC/point
Gingerbread 100 points; 2500CC; 25 CC/point

I refuse to buy PPP for over 90000, so it is good to have some alternatives

 

Thankyou everyone, your help is much appreciated

 

I reached level 5 a couple years ago making lots of CB and using it for the EP. And an occasional gingerbread or other gift sent to me by a very special upper level player that no longer plays. Miss him a lot. I learned a lot about this game from him.

If I were to do it today... I would make and use the following calculations...

Combining this information...
Pumpkin pastry 50 TP * 20CC = 1,000 CC
Gingerbread 100 TP * 20CC = 2,000 CC
Sage Macaroon 125 TP * 20CC = 2,500 CC
PPP 270 TP * 20CC = 5,400 CC
That tells you what price to pay for equivalent TP/CC spent. The cheapest way would be the slowest. But gives you the most effect for coins spent. If I wanted to move faster, and spend more coins, I would use 25CC or more to figure my tipping point.

 

I like this info as I am on level 2 and never thought to do this I was just slogging along making muffins

 

I did the same before I read about it in the forum One of the things I like most about this game is that it is so complex, there is always something to work on/optimize

 

i am nearly level 3 in bakery and and am level 3 in the confectionery....

when i was sick of plodding along making level 2 recipes when i was level 2 in the confectionery i used easter marmalade and islnd paradise jam and that got me through in about 3-5 days i had around 4,000 points before i started using the jams

 

that is really expensive

 

Blimey, I have to agree with @-Mir85- on this, that's a very expensive way and seems a shame to use such useful items just for levelling up but if you're happy doing that Kim then fair enough. I'm not feeling quite so extravagant lol Thank you for sharing the tip though!

 

i used to do that but i am being 100% frugal with my money this time

 

Am I correct in thinking that Pinkie pies are one of the recipes that is not regularly available? (it was either a special recipe or the product of something won earlier?)

 

woody - Pinkie Pie pie recipe was won in an event and is a level 5 bakery recipe. The cost of individual ingredients far exceeds its price in the market. They are great for leveling up the bakery as they give 270 trade points.

Can we put this in the perminant player created strategy area everyone is asking to be created? The whole quote... I just edited it so I would be chastisied for posting whole quotes. I'm not a baker yet but will probably be one someday and we need this info
