Hey all.. needed some community advice. I honestly do not like the fountain at all.. but I was wondering is there some huge XP advantage/gain that occurs when you purchase it.

I more than enough for two ... but simply its huge and not interactive so I rather not bother.

I read that you got 12000 XP when you bought the chocolate fountain. But I only got 6250. It got in the way and sits in storage.

The fountain in Restaurant Story gives 12000 XP.

I agree, the fountain is just too big--both in squares it occupies and squares it blocks because of its height. I honestly bought one for the xp since I'm at a point in the game where leveling doesn't matter. It went straight into my inventory. If you want an xp boost and a money sink, go for it.

They don't offer nice big ticket items. The chocolate fountain is the only one they've offered. The nicer items are all for gems.

Pity! Anyway, just had a look at the BS fountain and actually think its nice. Especially compared to the RS one. Is that an item from a city story construction site or so?

I think that the CF can look really good, if you design your bakery around it. Otherwise, it can sometimes look a bit out of place; not always, but sometimes:).

You'll actually gain more xp buying the basic table or chairs than any other item in bs & in rs (if you're up to the hassle of buying that many items)

It seems to be 2.5 xp per 1000 coins spent - but on the 1000coin items, it round up to 3xp.

So the fountain would give 6250xp, but spending the same amount on tables or chairs

Ugh, didn't mean to party that quite yet..

Anyways, 2.5 mil fountain = 6250xp, 2.5mil in table/chairs = 7500xp

I have one in my bakery http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x386/mirenec/7d56ae8d.jpg I don't think it looks too bad. The one in restaurant is so ugly but I think this one is way prettier. If you like it, buy it. If not, just buy items you want or cook a lot. The xp will be the same mostly.

@joyirene - where you have it placed is fantastic--least amount of blocked squares. :)

If you put it in the bottom right corner and put tables around it, it dosent block as much and it looks nice there :)

I think it is very pretty and gives the bakery a little personality. :)

Just out of curiosity, after you get to the highest level, what is the benefit to increasing your XP?

To me the only benefit would be if Team Lava decided to change the game to allow for more levels down the line.
In Farm and City the levels were stopped at 75., Then they decided to increase to 96 levels.

When this happened I jumped from 75 to 96 overnight because I had been playing and earning xps.
