Dasvidaniya: Time/Energy Stats & Review

Share:

We have 13 days to complete all 10 parts of the Dasvidaniya Limited Time Mission. For a list of all the parts and tasks, my walk through can be found here.

I went through the tasks and calculated the wait times and energy costs. It's not as bad as it initially appears. Assuming you don't have to wait on a timer to perform the first action of each task, you will have to wait a minimum of 6.3 days. This also assumes you perform each action the second the timers expire. With 13 days, there is plenty of wiggle room.

Mission Part	Longest Task	Timer (hours)	Total Wait Time (hours)
1	BUILD 2 ANIMALS IN PRIVATE ZOO	18	18
2	BUY 2 ITEMS FROM YOUR BLACK MARKET IN BRAZIL	23	23
3	MAKE 2 ITEMS IN YOUR WAREHOUSE IN CHICAGO	23	23
5	BUILD 3 ARMORS IN ARMORY	18	36
6	COLLECT FROM YOUR TRUCK SHOP 3 TIMES	8	16
8	MAKE 2 ITEMS IN YOUR SPEAKEASY IN CHICAGO	18	0  If Property is Level 2 or above
10	BUILD 3 WEAPONS IN THE WEAPONS DEPOT	18	36
Total Wait Time			152 hours 6.3 days

If your Speakeasy in Chicago is at Level 2 or above, you won't need to do any waiting as you can make two items without having to wait for a timer. Lowering this number really helped the players.

Another task that helps with time issues is in Part 7. Instead of requiring us to win 4 wars, we only have to help in 4. You get credit as soon as you help and don't need to wait for the war to finish.

The energy requirements will probably cause more delay than waiting on timers. Three of the tasks requiring energy are tied to loot drops so the number of jobs and amount of energy will be different for each player. I listed the minimum energy it would take if the drop rates were 100%. Realistically they are probably more around 50%. 

Mission Part	Job/Location	Requirements	Energy/Job *Ruby Level	Total Energy
1	"PUT BROTHER FRANKY IN CONCRETE SHOES" Chicago D6	20 Jobs	918	18,360
3	"DODGE THE GUARDS" Chicago D1	Loot 10 Widow's Fortunes	162	Varies Min:1,620
7	"CASE WAREHOUSES ON THE NORTH SIDE" Chicago D2	Loot 15 Tommy Sharks	378	Varies Min:5,670
9	"TRACK DOWN LIEUTENANT SANDOVAL" Brazil D1	40 Jobs	135	5,400
10	"WIPE OUT A FAVELA STREET GANG" Brazil D4	Loot 15 Huecuvas	621	Varies Min:9,315
Total Energy				40,365*

*The energy costs will vary depending on the drop rate of the loot items. This total assumes a 100% drop rate which won't happen for any player. 

One thing I did notice when going through this Mission is you won't get credit for all the items that drop. To prevent this from happening to you, slow down with the clicking. If you click too fast, you will get the item but it won't register towards your total in the Mission. You can see in the example below that I looted 10 Tommy Sharks but I only got credit for 5 of them. I refreshed the page to ensure it wasn't a display error and slowed down to get the rest of them.

There are also several tasks which require stamina. How long it will take depends on your stamina pool and your ability to get ices.

Mission Part	Task(s)
2	FIGHT 100 OPPONENTS IN NEW YORK
3	ICE 50 OPPONENTS IN CHICAGO
4	CLEAR 4 ROBBING BOARDS LOOT 25 HAY BURNERS FROM FIGHTS IN CHICAGO
5	TAKE OUT 10 PEACEMAKERS ROB 20 BARRACKS IN BRAZIL
6	CLEAR 5 ROBBING BOARDS
7	LOOT 15 TWIN BARRELED MACHINE GUNS FROM ROBBING IN BRAZIL
9	WIN 100 FIGHTS IN BRAZIL ROB 40 TIMES IN CHICAGO
10	ICE 75 OPPONENTS IN NEW YORK

Whenever there is a task that requires us to ask our mafia for an item, we usually find that Zynga stole all of our existing items. We have seen this happen on 4 occasions and players who performed these tasks lost many hundreds or thousands of Computer Set-Ups, Body Bags, Confidential Records and Construction Workers (1), (2), (3),(4).

In Part 2, we need to ask our mafia for 15 Body Bags. I was expecting the same bug to resurface so I took a screen shot of my Body Bag total before I asked. 

I was a little surprised to learn I gained 182 Body Bags. Instead of fixing the problem, Zynga must have turned the limits off the requests. Once you post your request, it will stay active until you collect and move on to the next part of the Mission. It's too bad this wasn't something more useful.
