The New Daily Take & Stream Scanner

Share:

Yesterday the Daily Take was revamped (1). Many are calling it a nerf but you can actually get more skill points per week than with the old system. The reason is because Zynga is allowing us to share the 5 items we don't choose. We can collect on 5 Daily Takes a day and if you are strategic about it then it can be more advantageous to your character than the old system. There are two different types of Daily Take posts. The Daily Take and the Golden Take. The Golden Take offers better items, including skill points so you want to save your 5 for these.
If you don't want to be a search and click monkey, use the Stream Scanner by Team Spockholm to make the task of finding 5 Golden Takes a day easier. Only do 30 minute scans at a time because most of these requests are all taken by the time you get to them. Longer scans will just make it more difficult to find live ones.
Once your scan is complete, click on the "DailyTakeV3" Tab and click on only the posts that say "Get Golden Daily Take reward". You will want to manually click for this part. If you choose automated clicking, all Daily Take links will be clicked and you won't be able to tell them apart when you go to the link.
Once you click on all the Gold Take posts, click on the "Log" Tab. To get to the popup window of an active Golden Take, just click on [LINK].
If an active post is detected but the rewards were claimed before you got to it, you will get the "You are too late" message. If the rewards were already claimed before you clicked on the Stream Scanner link, it will say so and you will know not to go to that link.
If you are lucky, you will get the Golden Take and there will be a reward with skill points available.
If you click the "Collect" button before somebody else, you will get the point.
Sometimes all the skill points are taken. If this is the case, just close it out and it won't count as one of your 5 for the day. You may need to do a few scans in order to find 5 Daily Takes with skill points still available.
The skill point options appear to be +1 attack, +1 defense, +1 stamina, +2 energy and +3 health. A 10% energy refill is shown below.
My 5 rewards for the day were +1 attack, +1 defense, +3 health, +3 health and +1  attack. If I do this everyday for 7 days, I will be much better off than I was with the rewards from the old Daily Take.
When the fun is over, you will be notified that "You have already collected from 5/5 friend takes today".
If you don't want to use the Stream Scanner because you are afraid of scripts, don't know how to use them or think they are the root of all evil in the world, use the link below to scan your news feeds for Golden Take posts.

  1. It *is* a nerf - who has time to spend all day clicking through them to find the few that have skill points? And where's the stamina refill?

  2. This is 100% shit. The worthwhile rewards are gone in seconds.

    They actually made something more annoying than trying to get into wars. Why couldn't they fix something in the game, instead of changing something that had nothing wrong with it???

    One more nail in the Mafia Wars coffin.
