Thanks for a thoughtful answer, that's refreshing for me in this thread.
I want to remind everyone that incident quest doesn't ruin my game. I think it's bad, but I don't think it breaks the game. I enjoy the game so far. I also agree having alternatives is a plus.
I posted here partially because I wanted to know what purpose incident quest serves. If it's nothing beyond what most players on the forum want then I guess it is what it is.
As for planning ahead, yes it's important, but sometimes things don't go according to plan. That's when timing becomes an issue. For example, if I save tools and candies for a specific daily special, now I have to guess which day it'd appear to save me the option to clear quest with incident. If I guess wrong and collect all the incidents the night before, then I usually lose one option to finish incident quest immediately. I know you and some others disagree, but I genuinely consider this a punishment, although not a game-breaking one. I guess we can agree to disagree on this one.

I'm not paying them any attention at all. If I get 'em, I get 'em. I'm chasing the potions first, then just advancing through the library hoping to get books.

So you haven't spent any diamonds?

Did anyone else complete quest 40 but not receive the 750 Candies? I see the big green checkmark over quest 40 in the questline at the bottom of the event screen, but no Candies

Understandable, I like to finish quests quickly too. I've been using up all my "finish production" items here
Honestly I'd rather have collect 3 incidents than 55 5 min productions, that's a good bit easier - if not faster. I presume that's one reason players asked for new quests, gets tiring when it's all "spam your productions"

Thank you Dursland. I think that answers the question exactly, with few words and no drama:

I got lvl 8 yesterday morning. No Diamonds. Lucky in that I was chasing pumpkins, I really wanted Dark Doorways (got 5) for my IA city. I did manage to hit and complete the full set of Books at the same time, that got me there. Dumb liuck ftw.
Phenomenal idea.

No change. I even tried switching to a different device, but my candy total stays the same.

Agreed even if I have to wait until server reset to collect them for quest

Level 7 no diamonds

Especially with an event like this where multiple qjestlines can overlap so having your production buildings tied up slows you down if there's no alternative ways to advanceUnderstandable, I like to finish quests quickly too. I've been using up all my "finish production" items here

File a support ticket, and you'll want to do it ASAP so they can get you fixed in time. Right click in the game and it's there as a link.
Edit: If inno does this again next year, and I hope they do, a suggestion on the book quests would be to add an indicator to know if one is running. I keep clicking on them indiscriminately to start what I can.
Edit2: Book counts seem to be bugged, not showing proper amount of times completed.

Just checked on mine. At first I thought the same and then realised what it's actually showing. Collecting the Librarian Reward must have reset what it's showing as it's showing based on the current run, not the previous run.

Oooh
lol no wonder, thank you for checking!DeletedUser30312
Well, so far not bad -- I waited until Thursday myself to start digging into it since the Dark Doorway has a decent trade in value at the AD and I feel no particular need for any of the dailies myself. Almost know luck with the avatars, all I found was the zombie queen. I still need 1 upgrade for the Asylum, but I think I should be able to win it by the time the event ends.
Books. Not a bad addition, but the RNG aspect is kind of annyoing. Those common books can pile up fast while the other books are harder to get. However, I'm only missing the gold book, so with luck I may yet find it. I dunno, I think the rarity aspect with the books isn't great, and it takes away from concentrating on the potions. 5 candies for completing each quest is a bit low, at least with the more rare books anyway.
As for Incidents, I've been saving them up until I get to the end of what I can complete with quests such as waiting on things like supply production. Then I clear them out. I don't know all the mechanics behind incidents, I think I understand how some of it works from observation. They last 24 hours, so usually I do an incident sweep of my city during my main collection period. I'll grab others I see during the day as well. Active players who collect incidents seem to generate more, it's typical for my main city to produce 10-15 incidents a day, but cities that I don't run actively maybe only get about 5. There are certain spots where incidents will spawn, and if there's no room for an incident, it'll pop up in a spot where another incident was cleared, this seems to be what Dursland was referring to as stacking. The stacking tends to occur more often in bigger cities with more expansions where the city has grown over incident spots I think.

Just wondering where the link for the contest is? Was able to do the pumpkin guess and waiting for the next in sequence. Just can't find it. Any help would be great!
