Well having run my new build for a little bit now I think I can semi-confidently say that running 10 in the type you want twice, a lot in chest twice, and enough to reach ~six silver once for the other two types is pretty good for targetted item farming. I'm always running out of firey if anything even with the two 10s in it.
TBH it may even be smarter to lose a little silver power to get more chest, but I don't really want to be that drastic quite yet.
One 10 cache gives me enough for 3 interactions so I will stick with it
oh nice. I keep getting unlucky and don't really run into tier 4 firey often. Sadly can't really get to 10 chest without significant sacrifices since I don't have a single +3.
Seeing 3* chest spawn rate has convinced me that if I do chest it has to be 10
is it better to pick a topic that gives 10 ponts or one that is a "hot topic"?
That’s up to your risk assessment right
Like do you want to lower attention less for less points or not
Plus chance of triggering max vibes
can you trigger max vibes more than once per interaction?
Believe not
which of the "cheap" interaction buys are worth it? (insight specs, shovel, juice, ring)
I think hot topic is safer since less attention lost but in the end, life is like Jenga
Since the pair can call off at 95% it's hard to gauge it 
In my opinion I like shovel and ring the most, others might not agree
Once you stare at the topic list for a bit you can kinda try to guess the hot topic by process of elimination
how can you tell it's a hot topic without the specs?
When there is a zoom in the first time
ah that's good to know
But since spec is literally free, might as well grab it
After you get six slots you can get all of them really
Unless you empty it all on presents 
Cache is gacha, so prepare for it
I do this
You can get lucky or get 60k coins
Still cache but nice balanced income from other team
2 out of 4 chests this morning was coins
I am unhappy

What time interval should I be checking for cheers?
Haven't noticed a pattern for that. But I assume it is once per team every day
Can’t agree with this combo more. Optimal strat imo
I think I should get my 6th slot today if all goes well
Wait so, we shouldn’t disturb our expedition teams too much?
Wdym
I don’t because I have a permanent set up but I don’t see the harm of moving it around
Like at worst you lose out on ONE drop cuz ur team was being edited at the moment a drop happens but it really doesn’t matter
The tick is every minute, so it's very flexible unless you accidentally remove one and forget
Ah ok thanks
Any advice as to which power up items are best?
The category 1 items, like the shovel
Oh, it all boils down to your preference, in my opinion I like the ring followed by shovel
You can kinda guess the hot topic by elimination
And really once you have six slots I think you should be able to buy them all so
Hope he doesn’t quit on me
Oh crud I forgot to click the items
welp, I guess I shouldn't use all interactions again
I got the full trash pack from golden chests
60k gold, 30 expbooks and 600 syn orbs
Actually, 30 expbooks are kinda nice
Running chest+red crystals teams, kinda balanced i can get orange and blue too
2 good team tho
Barry is the intruder in the alola team lol, but fill perfectly that role
I just wish we got more for galar, we have so few units
Can I ask, what's the difference between Team A and Team B
They have small resource bonus
Team A has innate 1 1 0 0
Team B has 0 0 1 1
In the order Red Orange Blue Chest
Oh So I get more Rare cache resources if I pick team B, correct?
Thank you N
same to me today
Are they fixed?
that is 200000 coins in disguise 
Who knows? I got a juice boost yesterday I believe
Oh, no then. I got two Feel Rings
Ah coincidence then, still poggers
i get 10 lv 3 manual today tho
FUCKING N STOPPED THE CONVERSATION AFTER 4 TOPICS CONTINUOUSLY. I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!

got hit with the 90% attention done with convo today
Do you farm evo materials daily?
Evo materials? You mean crystal?
nothing wrong with N
i even got closed with 100% attention before 💀
Yeah but seeing his pic everytime i go to get materials
i think thats what it is, it went from 100 to 90 then she said bye
at 29 now
33 points 
Now Marnie taunts me to get her to 5/5 EX 
You know, the usual burn from Flamethrower. It just works 
why is that some interactions last till 50 % while i have some end at 80 and 90%
Really?even this is rng based?
Rng be like
This is sure shit
Think of 90% attention as in 10% to fail. It can happen 
i mean there are people getting masterfair 1% at first multipull when you have to pity them 💀
it is gatcha game everything on mercy of RNG god
No i meant about the costs, if you're low on coins try to sell evo mats
I farmed evo crystals daily and never sold before trainer lodge (just to get free exp)
I got something like 30M
N gave me this today
same

Rosa gave it to me as well
2 lv cap that we never reach tho
Apparently the green can unlock one level, blue 5 and red 10

Those just unlock level cap, but don't give you any lvl yeah?
yeah
Yes
FINALLY
was at 20 yesterday and now I'm at 29 so getting the lodge pair is def quicker than expected
Noice! I just wish to reach 50% at least, for now i'm getting kicked always at high%
I think right now I am at a stage where I can afford to always buy gift, items and extra interaction per day
after just a full day and night of trainer lodge leaving afk
Any useful tip? I'm still at 12 with Cynthia because all i got is getting kicked out early
Yeah the only thing you can’t afford everyday is the 1.5 point boost gift
The first two topics don't use attention. I will try not to initiate Max Vibe there
I don't even know if it's worth buying
you have to use a rare stone that you get from cache to get it
yeah every since things got figured out, I've been advancing way quicker than i thought
Random pokeball in expedition

Ah, really
I didn't know
Since if you max vibe on first topic, for example, you exit it and start losing attention
I used the Shovel
Since the next topic after vibe is 4th
we might see some pairs pop up within a week 👀
to reduce the attention drop by 2
Shovel is helpful but anything not 0% means they have a chance to drop 
save to buy gift
So I'd suggest keeping attention at 100% as long as possible
some of the items don't seem that useful tbh
I have so many that it doesn't matter
and everytime I receive new resources from the expedition
so I probably won't run out
👀 can you affort 6 glass 6 gift and 6 shovel per day?
yeah
because i barely do with double team on 1 color
Which means first drop below 90% = item time
maybe not the silver ones, but right now I could
but I definitelt afford the bronze gift
Of course depends on which item, you can go 80% and use the tier2 present but it's definitely risky
i guess
When interacting and out of good picks, is better to stay on topic regardless the choice being tier 2 or 1?
For example, what's better between:
"Exciting Hot Topic" or "Super Exciting Non Topic"?
Even worse with tier 3 
I did a hot topic run. Less attention lost does help to keep the vibe
consider as well that after a full day and full night
I'll get other resources as well
plus chest
Yeah, tier 1 present is fair game
couldnt even give a tier 1 present b4 Rosa walked away 
only 1 decent talk today, shafted otherwise
Yeah, that could happen. That's why I question the tier 3 present. Aiming for 70% is definitely a Jackpot moment. 
Then you get dumped at 90% still 
holy shit
does anyone know now how much the dupes for the lodge units cost?
Meanwhile I can barely do 2 levels a day 
We can get more interaction than 3?
Is it possible to trigger max vibes twice?
I think I'll even be able to grab 3 lodge pair before LG
Woah, that's rude
It's not my fault for not having on topic or super exciting options

nope. I've tried w/ the boost juice thing
U can exchange 3 extra from daily exchange
@lost pumice is it true that attention does not drop at the first 2 topics?
GREAT!

so you should probably not trigger max vibes there
Any comments or ideas for improvement? Goal is to max chests on both teams and then get the hightest possible number on the other colors.
Since it reduces the drop rate
GREATN'T

First two topics won't drop attention. Otherwise you would have players complaining about them leaving in one topic 
That would be brutal
"Ahaha. That's interesting, but I gotta go"
Even game NPC bully me
Ig u should take hot topics even if it 5 points
I have no choice
bruh i failed max vibe 5 time
No hit topic, no super exciting

Used any items?
they zoom in and zoom out
You fail max vibe I fail at 90% attention

Glasses only

Need an entei emote
Try other items too
You know, Burn from Flamethrower is exactly 10% 
:enteiNO:
Just get 6th slot, working on red materials
And it happens more often than not 
Same working on reds and chests
bruh they quit on 80% 3 time in a round
The ring makes hot topics appear more often
use items
4 time interaction
boost juices guarantees max vibes if you hit the hot topic
Even max vibe can't safe me
and you know the hot topic if you use lens
Man just go
i have glass and shovel and gift
Ig blue don't want to talk to me tdy
still fail
Add bronze gift when u are at 90 or below
I saw this screenshot and suddenly have a moment of clarity
The interactions were a rollercoaster today
One ended at 95 attention
Other one ended at 44% attention
Not bad
You see, there are like 20 5star power ups. So frankly, by getting a pair to level 100, you get to 6EX them 
That's pretty generous
Okay, this is brutal 
Isn't this normal?
Or just me

No
Normal is 10 lv
Because i used many item

Coin go away pls
Worth? 
Or I should go for orbs?
It's for later when you unlock unit tho
orb free tho
Man i'd freak out going all in like that 😂 all 3 interactions - what if it ends at like 90% attention
i'm new and i start to stack orb already
Many unit waiting to be grided
I'll hold then, it's not like 3 lvl matters anyway
That's a lot
Orb and lvl more important

I have
but there's nothing about the points?
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
that's not what I am asking... :X
i play blind tho
anyway, let me explain a bit...
This is not the PT you want?
I just realized they only pin expedition related message 
What about interaction 
well, if you consider my app already has the lodge topics...
I already know how those behave haha 😛
I was asking for point calculation
LMAO OF COURSE THAT’S WHERE CYNTHIA TOOK US ON A DATE
Super Exciting Argument: 10 Points
Exciting Argument: 7 points
Interesting Argument: 5 points
a ruin?
That’s some meta humor right there
Not too bad, finally lv30 
I think it's base points + 1 bonus point per round (after the first round). can probably use some formula involving triangular numbers
The points gotten by each topic in the conversation are set depending on what streak(?) you are:
- As stated in the Absol files, the base value is 10 for Super Exciting, 7 for Exciting and 5 for Interesting.
- The points gained in the streak corresponds to the Answer Value plus Topic Streak - 1. Ie: picking a Super Exciting at Topic #10, you will earn 19 points (10 [Value] + 10 [Streak] - 1).
- While on Max Vibes, the value calculated above is doubled. Meaning is better to get Max Vibes as late as possible, because it secures you two more topics. But you risk on not getting an interaction with Max Vibes.
- The Attention seems to drop related by the Value of your answers. If you pick more high values ones, the attention will drop more.
that's it
today is the day i give CYnthia gifts for the first time 
I'll like to add an addendum for attention - Just as you get more point the higher the topic count goes, the attention loss also gets higher no matter your choice. You can however choose hot topic to lose attention by half rounded down. Say you are supposed to get -11, but if hot topic, -5
There is a list of what category topics belong to
It's literal jenga unless you can combo with hot topics. Even then, the rng can just say nope and cut you off 
how does one trigger multiple-interactions multiplier
Also one more thing I noticed - Max Vibe can happen after choosing 1 - 3 hot topics. Since we want to delay it, not taking Juice Box might be ideal. Oh yeah, I'll like to add one more thing - It's not fixed so reset can rng the max vibe
Present. If you see something like 3x or 6x, they used all their interactions
oh
Agree
the location doesn't matter right
Oh yeah, if you close the game while the interaction is going on, you don't lose any items and can attempt again
So I will imagine something like.
1 - 2 topic - 10 pointers
3 and so on - Hot topic. Spend items when nearing the 90/80/70
is that confirmed?? i'll do that when i get Other as a hot topic again 
Yes, you can just reset as long as it's not the end of the interaction
omg cheating the matrix
If they call you off, it's buh-bye
there is no timing
it's during interaction, not when you see the pause before the end
thanks for the tip i'll have to start doing that
My Rosa is 11 despite me using items daily, starting to lose patience
The moment you chose the last topic, your "fate" is sealed
It can be at 6% or 95% 
Ah, so you have to close before choosing a topic
N’s finally level 20. 80 more painstakingly levels to go
but when exactly would you do that
Any attention not 100% is risky 
yeah
Smh this cursed rng
they can cut you on 4th answer
Make it 5th, if you start vibes on 2nd
The only use I see for it is like the topics are really bad or you forgor to bring the items
Totally not me doing the latter today
my highest topic with cynthia...
was 14
Literally left at 92%... With all items on
I got to 13 with Marnie
This mode is stupid.
And we are suckered for this rng
oof
which doesnt count
my highest topc was like, 11, once
Can you buy the extra interaction from the shop and have a x6 multiplier during interaction?
That's like going all in poker. Hope you don't get 95% 
but its a risky bet imo hahaha

imagine getting dumped at 90% with all interactions done in one go ... with all gifts and items ...
"No bet? No life"
waiting for someone to gamble a x6 with all items and got the highest score 
Win fast or lose fast
i dont have to imagine it happens 6 times a day
I'll try tomorrow, I swear
I gambled at x5
and I'll post a screenshot at the end
I did x5 today for a total of 190x5=950, not bad
"omg 6x chests??"
it's all 1* ......
I got like 103x5 points today 
i'm missing 50 ultra red crystals for last slot 
Double red lv10 time
damn almost 10 levels 
do you all just use specs + feel rings now for interactions?
i also use shovels because i bought some 
Shovel too
if from the 3rd answer there is no hot topic choice, I'll reset
Use all but juice
All 6 interactions today.
Cynthia left every single time over 80%.
why not?
i'm going to do this from now on: get interactions to x6, farm the presents up, reset on 3rd not being hot topic
same
I think in total, I've only ever seen the interaction % go under 60% once
I don’t like being forced to choose hot topic as the best option early then being forced into max vibe
i had one get to like 30 odd
Then again with the soft reset thing I guess I can take juice and choose later max vibe time
from the 3rd topic and onward
hows resetting it work anyway
probably
didnt want to lose interactions by fucking it up
Just quit anytime before you chose the topic that will end the interaction
Finally got last 2 slots
Quit the game
I’m not in a hurry to get Lodge units. I’m going to get my 5 buddies to friendship level 10. Then level 20 and so forth.
Just gonna max out Cynthia to 100 lol
The rest can wait
puts the photo there
Yep
If you "use all interactions", do you also need 3x the gifts? Thinking it might be a good use of the gold ones.
pretty cool
Yes
Yes, it's high risk, high reward
you could get dumped very early
or very late and get a huge multiplier
Was hoping it was just the buffs that need 3x 😦
I think I kinda have a strategy in mind, but I'll have to try it out for a bit
Yet another reason why Boost Juice is trash
Can’t win it if you ain’t in it
is it worth usually to hit the hot topic even for 5 points or nah?
wtf
i'm lucky if they level up by 1
Thats 5 interaction in one
oh
I think it is if you havent got max vibes yet, otherwise no
gold presents are gonna be cracked after readily avaliable
1.5x
probably worth using them at like 80 though
bit risky to go further than that
even if you miss some of the benefit
the 5* powerups are very nice
on a average day with items you can probably get 5 level ups
i did one interaction max vibe with 9 topics, 145 heart, barely got the level up
complicated, gonna try a present
145 is pretty good
level and a half
Oh why am I doing this? 
i'd assume so as well but the xp didn't feel as rewarding
seems like just 100 per level
at least for a while
dunno if its more in the later ones
so you're saying use present around 80% attention?
I'd say when you need to get it to near 100%
seems about the sweetspot
Ha. 2/3 times i dont even get to 80%
Because the next topic might break it 
dont think risking gold to like 50 or whatever is ever worth
If you have enough resources then try to use it anytime theres no good topics
if bronze just use at 90 though
I was trying to save gifts for a "good" attention gain but they just leave before that 
Tier3 present will be extremely salty when you get to 70%, use it, and the pair drops out at 95% 
them leaving feels random imo
Honestly, just use presents, at 91% no matter the level of the present
wow i got a -15% in attention, gave the present, did an exciting one and got -12% again
jesus
sometimes they'll stick around to 30% other times i've have leave at literally 3rd interaction im like ok
1 hot topic and 1 present, that's it
Once per interaction
tragic
think the gold giving 1.5x is easily the best bit
do presents reduce chances of them leaving is that it 
The consensus right now is that you should reset before choosing while you are at the 3rd choice
Attention loss gets higher the higher the topic count. See my chart
if there is no hot topic option available
yeah but i mean they usually leave by 75%
My highest, got 3 lv
wow
You can reset?
Yes, you close the game before choosing any of the 3 option
the game will give you back eventual items and interaction
that's a good idea
Why would you reset at 3 interaction though?
It's a great failsafe in case your phone dies or something of the sort
The first 2 choices will not drop the attention, so even if there is a hot topic that can trigger max vibes, I'd suggest to not do it
i usually got 8-9 topics, got <5 a few times too
trigger max vibes at like the 3rd topic and onward
That way you'll get at least 5 turns
Ah good call
I’ve been doing max vibes as early as I can
Thought it helps prolong the convo
If, at the 3rd topic choice there is no hot topic answer you can choose
close and open the game again until you get one
You can refresh for hot topic, odd to max vibe (1 - 3) and also first fee topics
what decides if max vibes or not? sometimes it zooms in and they decide nah
If you're lucky, then you'll get around 80 at turn 5 with this method
Tomorrow I will do a big gamble and buy the 3 extra interaction from the shop
If you use boost juice, then they'll immediately do it
to then use all 6 of them at once
As long as you don't choose the last topic, you can reset. When is the last topic? Any time you get less than 100% attention 
Rosa, if my topics are so super exciting, why do you choose to leave the conversation early in favor of doing nothing in the trainer lodge like a lamp post? Curious
Rosa "Look, that Entei burned someone even at 10%. Time for me to cut this talk. Bye!"
I can confirm this isn’t true. Even with boost juice it can take a bit.
Really? It procs every first hot topic for me
I'll refrain from using it just so I can save the max vibe for later
It always activates for me too
Did you have any feel ring? That might have helped
I'm ending it all I used all 4 items to help the convo go well but it ended before I could give him a gift and...... 4 more points....................
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE INTERACTIONS I CAN BUY I CAN'T DO THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@worldly ivy We discussed this before, you can do certain things to get a good interaction and a lots of level:
-Attention does not drop the first 2 topic, meaning you don't want to trigger Max Vibes there.
-At the 3rd Topic I suggest to choose the Hot Topic option to trigger Max Vibes.
-If at the 3rd Topic there is no Hot Topic answer that you can choose, close the game and reopen it, you will be given back interaction and items, so you can try again.
Note: To reset you need to close the game BEFORE choosing any of the 3 option.
Ooh nice trick
too late now but will try to keep that in mind
In generally, you wanna trigger Max Vibes as late as possible
tho you probably don't wanna try your luck and you should just trigger it once you get to the 3rd topic, cause that's when the attention starts to drop, so you are guaranteed to get a 5th topic interaction at least
oh and of course it goes without saying to use items and gift
yeah you can try tomorrow
Is anyone making a spreadsheet on chests during expeditions? (With like drop rates)
did you check the pins like we suggested?

if there isn't anything else there, it usually means those other rates are server side, which we cannot access
Per second or per minute?
I remember tutorial says items are found per second
But we pick them up per minute
Rewards are collected every minute, this includes chest as well
That's why they have a very low drop rate
What drops from chests is server side?
Anyone else having way worse interaction luck the more stuff they use on an interaction?
@urban zinc minor correction to the sheet, Gloria and Cynthia are +2 Chest if 3 [region], not unconditionally
I only had bad luck today 4/6 interaction ended in 90~80 something ...
The first two days I did interactions 1 by 1 with no items and was going down to sub 20 each time but now I use all 6 interactions at once + items they've all been ending between 90-80
One message removed from a suspended account.
it is random but ...
It's all luck 
Poker baby
Honestly I really feel like this system should be reworked
One message removed from a suspended account.
Just make the goal to avoid reaching 0
One message removed from a suspended account.
I mean, in this game, 10% happens too often anyway, so I won't be surprised 
I wouldn't mind if getting down to 0 had decreased rewards as long as it was consistent
One message removed from a suspended account.
I feel consistent enough for me. Sometimes the stars aligned and you get a good streak and sometimes you get cut off early. That's rng
Its not like any trainer lodge stuff can be monetised so I'm not really sure why it's RNG based to begin with
Start vibe at 2nd or 3rd topic. That way, you have 5 topics at minimum
Seriously? Have you checked the rewards?
One message removed from a suspended account.
I know everyone has eyes on the level 100, but before that, you get 20 5-star power ups and 10 certificates. You know what that means?
What I mean is there isn't an option to pay gems to continue conversation for example
I'd hate that 
Still, just take your time. Getting cut off early sucks, but as long as it doesn't spend your gems, it's fine
You will get everything eventually
Hey kiddos blue will like you more if you slide him a couple gems (He can nearly pity pull Ash he's desperate)
good idea
I want to know the progress of levelling up in the trainer lodge
after interacting with someone
let's pay them money to our sync pairs so they don't ditch us during conversation
better then a present multiplier

I am just happy I get to put Marnie to 6ex 150 once I get her to level 100 
Let me slide over one of my millions of money to make them stay
That might work with Barry 
"Haha you're fined 5 million if you're late." "K"
thanks for the catch
added all the new sync pairs as well
Now I look at it, apparently sinnoh and galar don't have their own +4 if 3x same region
Because of the chest if 3 same region
Exactly
this is so slow going
do we know what expedition skill Cynthia & Lucario and Red & Pikachu have
Patience my friend, or you try your luck in cache. Not recommended at least for me 
Slow and steady mate.
You can preview the pair and check the expedition nevermind. It's greyed out 
I heard they are all plain +2
I just got the other slots so fast lol but you're right
You get like 720 tier3 a day if you put out level 10 team in that color
Cynthia should have +3 -1 because she a champion?
Steven has +1 for every Hoenn unit despite being a champion
Steoxys does have +3 -1
Yeah I think my issue is that I have a set up with level 8/7 everything and then another with focus on chests
Qn which of the 4 interaction items are the best for me to use in a 3x interaction run?
is it worth it to get this everyday ?
okay ty
I wasted one the first day, I’m forever behind now 
I think no one could afford to buy those the first days of the release of the trainer lodge
no one knew nothing about it yet and we had just 3 expedition slot
is the hot topic set for the day once you complete an interaction or is it different for each interaction?
different each interaction
Today I had 2 fashion, 2 friends, and 2 locations
Generally you want to use all the items if you can afford it
glasses, juice, shovel, feel ring
yes
If you have 6 expedition slot, right now you are probably swimming in Bronze Crystal
so you can pretty much always buy anything that costs bronze crystal
who is the best pair to interact with?
Your faves 
As in, which of the 9 sync pair in the lodge has the best unit once reaching Lv100
?
yeah
That's my huge problem
For once i reached nearly 70%, it felt a good run and to avoid risk I used the +30 gold item (that also gives +50% boost)
Then, right from 100%, -6% and bye 
not really sure about it, but I heard that Cynthia and Gastrodon are good
I haven't checked the units and their kit yet tho
other than that? i don’t own lodge cynthia
Using all 4 items seems to work
well 4 + a gift
Tier2 or tier1 gift?
10 lvl what an amazing run
i got this with no gifts today
tier 2
this is beter than mine imo
mine was expensive
Do you get enough tier 2 crystals with a lvl10 color to buy 3 tier 2 gifts per day?
I wasn't paying much attention to friendship level up, but is each level 100 points?
I'm kinda giving up on Cynthia if i can't reach 60% at least.
I keep looking at you guys getting dropped a reasonable %, how do you do that
“Use all interactions” is a scam right
mine was kinda lucky, may usually goes away at like 60-70%
it wasn’t for me
I was less lucky this time
it is luck only, today I got cynthia 4 out of 6 interactions she leaves at 90-80%
Yeah but my usual is between 85 and 95%
Trying both all at once or singles it changed nothing
I used it and stopped at 80% and lost out on the rest being longer
They always stop at 75-80 for me when they’re only suppose to be a 35-20% chance of it happening. It feels like the odds are hella messed up.
It doesn’t add up at all
If there’s only a 20% chance of them stopping then it shouldn’t be happening for 2 out of 3 times, same thing until it drops to at least 50%
I always get my interactions ending at 80% too
And the fact that it seems to happen to everyone makes me think it’s glitched. There’s just no way it’s this common
20% isn’t common at all, yet it is
We're too small a sample size unfortunately
That's the point!
is someone else going for may or am i the only stupid?
I would be going for May if not for Marnie/Cynthia bias so
If she’s a fave then go for it, that’s why I’m doing Cynthia, I don’t care for any of the sync pairs from lodge
Same lol
maybe the more friendship level, the more you get dumped early
They can't EX and on paper they all seem fine, so go for faves
i don’t have any fave here so i don’t know what to take
This has happened every single day since lodge started. If anything it should be happening less when it goes up
When it launched i was also seeing a lot of people talk about how it ends around 80% for them
Thrn run for the strongest units
To me, Cynthia N and Blue looks the best
I'm not sure if there's a definitive "best" unit yet, I've heard a lot of rumblings about Silver
Marnie is a good Poison striker but she lacks EX and by the time you get her we might have something better than SSGio for Poison
ok, i’ll go for blue or silver bc i don’t have cynthia and n
She is?
Yes
Well that stinks lmao
Ikr
lillie and comfey looks good imo
My best one yet
with passives and grid
I'd have been pissed if she was a striker though because of course she'd be a striker when she can't EX
I don't know why the lodge pairs (and BP units) can't EX anyway, it's arbitrary and ruins their usability
And it's not like EX makes every unit good automatically
Holy moly I was blessed
wait, do these pairs evolve?

no samurott then 
Holy shit
legit left right as i was about to give him a present 🧍♂️
That's probably why it doesn't evolve, because Hilbert (right?) already has it
But it's not like we haven't ever had repeat mons so the point is moot
Has anyone ever gotten this before
That's always how it goes
I hold off until the last minute for the present for the attention recovery and then they leave
Holy shit congrats
I've yet to get anything impressive from the chests despite having it at level 8 for like 3 days lol
Yikes
One message removed from a suspended account.
Hey guys, how to get 3x after an interaction? Noob here
you use 3 of your interactions all at once
very risky
if you get dropped at 90%
dead
I see
True
Thank you
If u use all 3 interactions u need to use all items 3 of each or no items
I selected the hot topic like 4 times and I didn’t get max vibes
Yeah I had a run where I'm pretty sure I tapped a hot topic that was also Super Exciting and it took 5 zoom ins before I got Max Vibes
It's still rng unless using boost juice
The difference between chest lv9 and lv10 is big
I got 18 chest with chest lv9, while for lv10 I got 28
Also I got a Pearl item from the expedition, thought DeNA remove this item from the game
Pear?
Ah
is this worthy?
no
thats a nice multiplier congrats
would have done x6 but couldnt use all my presents then
Why do I have 2 teams with full chest drop and one is so ahead than the other?
Also is it worth to sacrifice some production in order to get more chests or is it better to have an overall of 10/10/10/10 production?
Thanks
Chests have low drop rates, I think Team A just got unlucky
how it works is that it has a chance every minute to drop a chest
team B just got more of those
In a sense I think doing chests is more worth it? Because you don't really need the gold crystals for other trainers for a long time
I'm only doing 10/10/10/10 because I can't make the other team have a 10 on rare cache 
how lol
also chests can drop gold crystals
You're ALL Welcome for this risk.... this is what it looks like with using 6 interactions at once with max vibes and able to use a present...
Oh hi.

Havent checked my lodge for a few hours so interested to see what I get
I think this is a great new step in our friendship
I woke up this morning to 50 chest from Team B
That is awesome
The bigger thing you should be talking about is the friendship cap item
Nah it's not that huge to me I like the power up more
The friendship cap item doesn't have an immediate use right now to be fair.
I mean the fact that you got a very expensive thing for free
I hope that this friendship key only purpose is not just to get more Lodge stone as you level up
cause otherwise they are not worth it
You know it will be
if you get them for free, then sure
I had better luck having interaction without using items and present
Wow
Yeah, 60,000 coins 
lmao
My highest so far is they 10 5* powerup tickets
So at best half a 5* powerup lmao
This is kinda a warning if you do use all interactions be aware you might not get as many points if you do then a single interaction.
Over the days it'll balance out anyways
true
Luckily i used a single interact
But if you need to hit a breakpoint it might be good to average out the rng by doing then 6 interactions separately
Learned it the hard way today, Blue left me so early 
when it says display in lodge menu where exactly is it?
The screen to head into expeditions I assume
ohhhh yeah it is
Not sure if me running 5 and 7 in chest able to do 8 and 8 upon cheers is better or worse than trying to get a single 10 in chest, since my goal is really mostly the tier 4s
Not bad
Apparently the pokeballs in expedition are always the same loot times two. Like 10 pearls in team a, same in team b
Is it though?
Whats the highest friendship you guys reached? My N is currently lvl 32 and I was wondering if I’m behind.
lv. 22 here.
I hate that the biggest cache sync pair always takes off all your other materials
I had 3 interactions end at 81% today so I get you 
I literally said “Ill give you a gift after this topic, just dont leave” right before it got to 80… and the interaction ended right there 
Ayyy lvl 22 too
26 with Rosa
Let's see. There is 4 candy coins per pair. Assuming we get 20 pairs in lodge, that's 4 candies. But that's too far-sighted 

WOW
Nice too bad no 6x 
Any strat you figured out? Or still slot machine?
Haiyah

He got down to 12 attention God dam
14 topics wtf

Don't ask me how that happened. Guess I rolled good 
I feel like today was way easier than during the weekend
FINAL ATTENTION 9%
I'm impressed
wuts everybody's highest friendship lvl right now? just hit lvl27 on rosa this reset
currently at 30 with Rosa
32 with Cynthia
https://twitter.com/absolutelypm/status/1564240549099368448?t=MB1aH8JQkmV3cJQPhi80hA&s=19 looks like the drop rate for what's inside caches got mined
🎁 Rare Cache Details Rate
https://t.co/0briHtZHmF
5★ Scout Ticket x10/x20/x30 - 0.2%/0.2%/0.4% 😩
#PMEXSpolier
is it possible that if the level of friendship of the sync pair is higher, there is a higher chance they won't leave
Testing things out matters out more for me 
@smoky wave when you have a moment can you add this to your pin below the first rates one please? https://pastebin.com/kcDAuih5
@twilit venture since you asked earlier today, check the link above
While it makes sense in a progression of friendship sense, it is odd from a game design perspective, you’d like the early levels to go fast and hit the reward centers of the brain, and then make things scarcer as you progress
But then again, even without it being easier, just the fact that we have access to more items and the full exploration teams is bound to make it easier
97 isn't great tbh
Oh daaaang nice
Aaaand I can't open Pastebin from work. Hm...
Can someone check the Great Crystal and Ultra Crystal droprates? That's what I wanted to know
Across all chest rarities?
Small sample size thwarted me severely, then... that's less than half of the total rate I got from looking at people's mass-unbox results
It's shared. The catch in cache is clearly for the stones from 15% to 20% each
Oh, thanks. Lemme see
Ah! This is actually better than what I calculated from those unbox images then
Wait, so the odds of getting 30 tickets each minute is 0.002% 
So_You're_Saying_There's_A_Chaaaaaaance.png
It's 0.2%, but still better than nothing for practically no effort 
No no
That's only from 3star caches; 1star and 2star also generate 10 and 20. ...Presumably at a similarly low rate, but yeah
You have 0.5% to get a 3* chest each minute if your chest level is 10
Everyone already set up the farm by now. Just wait for the passage of time to take its toll
dang so this was 0.2% 
and if you get a 3* chest you've a 0.4% chance to get 30 tickets
Definitely #gacha-and-flex material
can't believe i wasted my luck for a gold ticket
Congrats
Thanks
Huh?
That looks like 0.2% to me
how do you do your math
What is the last item again? 5 star power up tix x 10?
you don't do 0.5*0.4 right ? Because that's 50%x40%, not 0.5%x0.4%
What math?
bruh math
Oh I missread his tweet
So it's even worse
Imagine playing game as normie
0.5% to get a 3* chest and then 0.2% to get 30 tickets
0.2% is a better rate than a rare loot in mmorpg 
Play fewer Korean ones
I only played RO 
tfw 50x EXP/money/loot multipliers on a private server is considered a low rate
The granddad of mmorpg
oh damn 0.2% for the 30 Tix
These are good teams right?
rarer than master fairs
PSO definitely had droprates that low, at least.
I don't know much about Everquest so I can't speak about that
I liked it. That's the closest thing where you could role-play as an alchemist 
And no, I don't watch FMA
I went in for a weeklong free trial on the official server and ended up harassed twice in different places and different ways within that week
It wasn't great
And no, I wasn't playing a female character
So statistically you have 50% chance to get 30 tickets in under 693 minutes... Which is ~11h30
and remember that it's stats, it won't necessarily happen
Now we need a chart to find out whether if a team of 10 cache will suffice 3 interactions per day 
From the numbers I am seeing. Rather likely?
Rip
1 team I don't think so
2 sure
Let's see... .005 rate of 3star cache, and then .002 rate of scout tickets from the cache. for .00001 rate of 30 scout tickets per minute...
That's 1/1000 each minute
No.
so is it better to have 2/10/10/1 and 10/1/1/10 or just go all in on cache 
0.00001 isn't the percentage
A day has 86400 minutes 
0.001 is
1/100,000 per minute
How are you doing your math?
What's math? 
Like, I don't remember how to convert a 50% probability out of this because it's been a literal decade since my stats course
The pair : (Why does this guy keep talking about math?)
What are we calculate?
Chest stuff
In this case, the timeframe in which the player can expect a 50% chance of 30 scout tickets from a 3star rare cache
I don't remember how to calculate it, but going by the per-minute rate... it's gonna be "lol don't get your hopes up"
Why don't you just google it
They mined the chest rate?
I could probably could...
google what is math
Yeah, both the chest spawn rate and the drop weights of each possible thing they contain
How many percentage is gold chest and 30 ticket?
Well, 0.5% to get a chest then 0.2% to get tickets inside
To multiply that you divide by 100 (like if you were to do 50%x50%, you'd do 0.5x0.5), so it's 0.005x0.002, which is 0.00001
Then you multiply that by 100 to get it back to %, so you have 0.001% to get 30 tickets each minute
Anyone got any efficient double rare cache teams?
I did check the pins, but ig I only saw the doc and not quite that exactly
there are teams in the doc tho
Guess I'll check further
Okay. Now calculate again how many minutes it takes to reach a 50% probability of 30 tickets based on that
Yeah, I see those
I'm talking efficient double rare cache teams, that doc has individual teams
You want 2 chest and 2 different color?
I don't know if they take each other into account directly, especially for something like 0/5/5/10
Or something close to that
I didn't do any 0/5/5/10
that is hard tho
all the teams I did are 10/10 something
I just do 1 color and 2 chest
Yeah, was wanting to see if people had any teams like that to last
But maybe that's too tall of an order for right now, I just remember hearing of a few people talk about something like that
I'll still prob use the doc as a base to see if there's something I can make work
All I got close to that is 5/2/0/10
1/5/5/10 can do with unit +4 tho sound possible
Then I got my other team working on the blue and chest
I just dont have much
I don't have much either 
Still, I wanna see if I can do something similar
Maybe not quite as good, but close enough
With yellow extract
With omni boost, no cheer?
Team A
oh bruh idk where I messed up but I definitely did
0.001% is a 1/100000 chance to get 30 tickets lol, so you have to wait 69 315 minutes to have 50% chance to get 30 tickets
FYI, that's 1155 hours and 15 minutes, which is around 48 days, so 1 month and a half
Yea that's no boosted stats
Oh yellow boost
but obviously I have good units
oh nice
Yeeaaaahhh that seems right this time
😔
...need I remind you that you got it wrong the first time
They corrected themselves at least 
Keep pulling in Alola regional scout 
I think he wanted to make two teams of 10 cache but he has no Royal
ez
It's fine, I was looking to make 2 efficient teams of 10 cache that balance out the other resources as well
An example being something like 10/x/x/10, 0/~5/~5/10
I use a Hoenn team for cache+red+some yellow
what im using rn don't really know what to improve
So what's your Hoenn roster look like? If you have the same characters, you can try the same team
IIRC my Hoenn team is 9/7/2/10 with cheer, 8/6/1/9 without
Is 1/1/8/8 better or 1/1/7/9 better ?
gotta use the units with region expedition skills otherwise getting cache then crystals with good enough lvl is hard 😔
Rn I use that (team A and B in this order)
With those numbers... have you not yet unlocked all 6 slots?
If you haven't, I'd lean towards 1/1/8/8 because you still need Tier3 stones more
I see that heavily leans into red for both tho
Yeah because I want red lol
I do Blue tho

Not as easy as other color
Do you have any +3 chest unit ron
All is paid unit
