Well, technically is starts in about 18 hours from now, but it is coming tomrrow. By now you should have already earned the Old Simpson Farm and the Pet Mutant Plant. Those are the only goals you really need to worry about meeting.

As far as crafting goes, all of the prizes you can already see such as the Springfield Farmers Market will still be there when act two kicks off. New crafting prizes will be added to this menu as well, and those are detailed here (spoiler warning). You’ll also have two more extensions for the Monsarno building to worry about, but that falls into the natural progression of the event, so you can’t miss them.

There has been a lot of confusion on this aspect of the event. Some players have been rattled and stressed thinking that they needed to craft certain prizes before the next act will start, which is untrue. Crafting is entirely optional and has no bearing on the progression of this event.
