In Hay Day, Tomin (Tom) is your personal errand boy, and he’s one of the most valuable helpers when used strategically. Here’s a guide to what you should get from Tom, depending on your current needs and priorities:
1. Rare and Hard-to-Make Items
Tom excels at fetching rare or long-production items that are difficult to produce yourself. Here are the best choices:
- Expansion Materials:
- Bolts, Planks, Duct Tape (for barn upgrades)
- Nails, Screws, Wooden Panels (for silo upgrades)
- Land Expansion Permits or Markers (for expanding your farm)
- Mining Tools:
- Pickaxes, Shovels, TNT, Dynamite (for mining diamonds or ores)
2. High-Profit Products
If you’re focused on making coins, prioritize fetching these high-value items:
- Diamond Rings (Jewelry Maker)
- Cakes (Lemon Cake, Cheesecake)
- Honeycomb Products (Toffee, Honey Lemon Tea)
- Lobster Tail Soup or Sushi Rolls (Fishing Area)
- Smoothies (Berry or Banana Smoothies)
3. Event-Related Items
During special events (e.g., truck, boat, or town visitor events), use Tom to fetch:
- Items required to complete tasks quickly.
- Seasonal items (e.g., holiday-themed goods like Hot Chocolate or Candy).
4. Animal Feed or Basic Goods
When you’re low on time and need essentials:
- Animal Feed (e.g., Chicken Feed, Cow Feed) to maintain production.
- Basic Goods like sugar, cream, butter, or cheese to keep your machines running.
5. Farm Pass or Derby Tasks
For tasks that require bulk deliveries of specific items, ask Tom for:
- High-quantity crops (like pumpkins, potatoes, or indigo).
- Common but time-consuming goods like bread, cookies, or pies.
When to Avoid Using Tom
- Cheap Items: Don’t waste Tom on easily produced items like wheat or corn.
- Low-Value Goods: Items with quick production times (e.g., bread or popcorn) can be made yourself.
Tips for Using Tom Efficiently
- Plan Ahead: Use Tom before going offline so he fetches items while you’re away.
- Refresh for Free: If he brings back something you don’t need, wait 2 hours for a free retry.
- Diamond Efficiency: Use him for rare goods that would cost more diamonds to skip.
- Time Events Wisely: Use Tom strategically during coin/double-reward events for maximum benefit.
