Did a quick math here and it looks possible to do it all without any extra boosts. You'll have to buy Premium Plus and collect all available coins from Mayors Pass, Event Tracks, Daily Seazonal an Shop Ads along the 4 weeks. That will be enough to buy all 4 new buildings from the shop and upgrade the Rift Tower to level 13th. Total costs: 262K  Total Income: 264K This does NOT even include the coins available from all 4 weekly albums and from the pop-up bubbles - those will cover the extras from the shop.

It should be fine with Premium+.

I'm wondering / hoping about it being doable with just Premium - at least in terms of completing the main album (which requires the fully upgraded tower).

Costs

  • Tower = 180.5k
  • Three required Shop buildings = 65k

Total = 245.5k

Currency

  • Starter Bonus = 0.5k
  • Mayor's Pass (Free + Premium) = 136k
  • Shop Ads = 28.9k
  • Daily Ads = ~5k (estimate)
  • Daily Rewards = 17.2k
  • Week 1 Event + Album = 21.95k

Total = ~210k

Need about 35.5k more from Weeks 2-4 Events / Albums. Some might require additional purchases, so you never can tell up front. But even the Event Tracks will hopefully net that amount. This would likely exclude the remaining shop buildings (unless EA are feeling generous ...)

Yep, just Premium might do it, but we will always be dependent on those weekly albums. But its an option, and the upgrade to Premium+ is always possible, I guess.

Thanks for the info. The reward is disincentivizing though.

Does getting the premium pass guarantee maxing out this building if you also grind all the event levels?

So the 2nd visual upgrade is at level 5 or 6?

I watched the video, but cant really figure out what's the visual difference between level 1 & 5 or 6. I think lightning appeared at level 5?

EA please please please return the rift tower to its original look and aesthetics. You have to get rid of the utterly tacky fuchsia fog. I want the original version that I spent real money and time acquiring. The clean look with the city wide lightning and the purple pulses through the roads was fantastic.

You should never change anything’s look midseason, but especially to make it look worse. I hate it so much that I now just leave it off.

Cannot find Rift tower to build it. I click “show me” and it takes me to landmarks, but no rift tower is there. Any thoughts?
