If they don’t leave after max vibes, sure

I literally had max vibes and they left after 5 interactions

[random cloud]

I’ve done them one at a time except one day and have her at 60-something

[glass roost]

96% attention

[random cloud]

It’s all chance, who cares how you go about it

[random portal]

Listen, have you ever wanted to Min-max your dating life and optimize your girl/boy with the best results of your date?

[alpine flare]

that's just an occurence bad luck

[kind marlin]

Oh no I had bad luck! It must be weighted against me!

[glass roost]

But that’s part of odds lol

[alpine flare]

oh no i hit the 4% chance the game must be rigged against me this one time

[random cloud]

Lol

[kind marlin]

Lmaoo

[crimson surge]

One time N left immediately after Max Vibes ended, not even a single interaction after the Max Vibes

[glass roost]

One bad interaction doesn’t dictate all odds

[kind marlin]

Yeah lol

[glass roost]

But indicates that if you did max interactions based on it

You would be screwed so

[carmine pilot]

Hi Richu, fast tips:

• Farm chests (better having 2 lvl10 teams)
• Do 6 interactions each day
• Always use glasses and shovel
• Reach MaxVibe after the 2nd interaction
• Follow the charts for the best topics

Here you can find them all

I decided to spend some time on a fun little project yesterday and make interaction topics chart for all trainers that are available currently in the Trainer Lodge.
Shout-out to @absolutelypm for gathering the data and @PuzzleMidna391 for the help with the design

[glass roost]

We don’t know the math so this is all based on anecdotal experience

[crimson surge]

This is great

[kind marlin]

This doesn’t even matter

[random cloud]

All I know is that I’ve basically memorized what Cynthia’s “Super Exciting!” topics are from doing interactions alone

[kind marlin]

The odds make no difference that averages are consistent

[glass roost]

Ah yes, because math doesn’t matter in probability

[kind marlin]

It literally doesn’t in this case

[glass roost]

Ok

[alpine flare]

the odds are consistent so that's why it averages out over time

[sharp solar]

Formulas don't matter. You just get 6x points from all interactions, but only 1/6x of those interactions. It evens out over the long time.

[kind marlin]

Anyway doesn’t matter, I prefer doing them one at a time anyway since it’s more fun playing the game

[glass roost]

If I get 100 points x 6, that’s 600

If I get 94, 117, 83, 105, 100, 102, that’s not 600

[alpine flare]

that's just 1 day's worth of interactions

[sharp solar]

That's why it evens out over the long time

[glass roost]

Long time meaning how long?

When you can get a pair to level 100 in 2 weeks, long time doesn’t matter

[random cloud]

CONVENIENT SUBJECT CHANGE!

Any topic you always try to go for if it comes up when doing interactions?

[crimson surge]

Yeah I memorized all of N’s except “Partner Pokemon” because I’ve never actually seen that in an interaction

[alpine flare]

the lodge stuff

lodge or pasio are always easy ones

[crimson surge]

Hilda and Hilbert (for N)

[kind marlin]

It’s just a time save to do them all at once

[random cloud]

I saw it once

[glass roost]

Topic depends on the pair. Like Hobbies and Friends suck for Marnie, but Fashion and Items are much better

[random cloud]

I always try to pick Celestic Town for Cynthia because iirc that’s her hometown

[sharp solar]

If you flip a coin 4 times, it isn't guaranteed to be 2 tails. But if you flip it 2^1000 times, you'd get pretty close to 50/50 chance. Get it?

It does need infinite attempts to be actually even, but it's not possible in our case.

[glass roost]

But we know the probability of flipping a coin lol

We don’t know the probability of this lol

Unless it’s been datamined

[sharp solar]

Once again, it doesn't mattet

[crimson surge]

Silver is the only one who doesn’t have any Super Exciting ones for one topic

[glass roost]

Again, long term sure, but we’re not talking 1000 interactions here, we’re talking about less than 100 to get to level 100

[viscid meteor]

reminder that pomatools also has the lodge interactions option :X

and you can sort it differently

[glass roost]

Tbh been using it a lot, so thanks!!

[carmine pilot]

I went under 50% just 3 times in all this time
So no way it's balanced on 50%
It's way higher

[sharp solar]

I don't think this is going anywhere.

[alpine flare]

the odds of this is the attention number you see on the screen

[crimson surge]

I’d say something like 70% is the average

[carmine pilot]

Yeah

[alpine flare]

that's the whole odds of the quitting part

[viscid meteor]

its just all about luck

[alpine flare]

then the odds of the scoring part is another thing

[viscid meteor]

just how you see that a master fair has 12% of getting a 5*

and then you get 4 dead multis

[crimson surge]

You have a chance of ending the conversation anytime the trainer’s attention is under 100%

[glass roost]

There’s probably some decay, but unclear what that is

[viscid meteor]

if its not 100, it can end at topic 3->4

[glass roost]

Right

[viscid meteor]

just RNG

[crimson surge]

N ended my conversation as soon as his attention went below 100% but thankfully that’s only happened once

[glass roost]

Right, just wish the RNG odds for topics, attention drop, etc were more clear

Because it’s not quite luck but it feels like it lol

[viscid meteor]

they are "clear" haha

just that the amount of times you get cut off over 70% is too high

[glass roost]

That might be it

[viscid meteor]

but then again, its 30% of happening

[void lintel]

And cutting off over 70% isn't even all that unlikely

[crimson surge]

I would definitely say I’ve gotten more lucky than the average person

[void lintel]

It's more than 30%, since there's the chances of dropping convo before that

[glass roost]

I know what causes attention drops and by how much

Just don’t know what the trigger for ending a convo is, beyond attention not being 100

[viscid meteor]

there's "nothing else"

[void lintel]

You have just about coinflip odds to stay in the convo beyond 70%

[carmine pilot]

Last reset got 95%, ~80, ~70 and then a x3 ending at 91% noice

[viscid meteor]

but some friends are doing this

"don't repeat topics too much"

[void lintel]

...repeat topics?

How?

[viscid meteor]

yep

like, not picking places every time

[crimson surge]

Ok yeah I’ve definitely gotten luckier than the average person

[void lintel]

Smells like superstition

[sharp solar]

That's how rumors are created

[viscid meteor]

yep

but then, they have their friendship at level 95+

so I can't say much ahahhaa

[sharp solar]

you're a part of the problem

[crimson surge]

Does picking the Hot Topic give you more points than normal? Like instead of giving 10 it would give 12 or something like that? Or is it just to activate Max Vibes?

[void lintel]

I have higher than that combined across my guests and I don't do that

[sharp solar]

It drops attention less

[viscid meteor]

me neither, I just pick the highest values because they're not bound to a penalty

[crimson surge]

Ah, makes sense

[viscid meteor]

and yep, it halves the attention loss

[void lintel]

Attention drain is halved if you selected the Hot Topic

[glass roost]

Hot topic attention drops are like 5 points iirc

[void lintel]

But since each turn gives +1 Friend EXP for all topics and this stacks

Then a bad Hot Topic could be worth, say, 5+5pts whereas a Super Exciting non-hot topic is worth 10+5 but worth doubled attention drain

Hot Topic is half drain but more than half score value

[viscid meteor]

wasn't Lethartist compiling some runs to see it?

[void lintel]

The only time this is not true, is on Turn 1, where there is no drain at all, and at which point it's meaningless to pick a Hot Topic anyway

[viscid meteor]

I'm only missing the attention drop rate

turn 1 and 2 I'd say?

[sharp solar]

Turn 1 and 2

[viscid meteor]

it starts dropping on topic 3

[void lintel]

It's true on Turn 2. A bad Hot Topic is worth more than half a non-Hot Super Exciting Topic on turn 2

Turn 1 has no turn bonus

[crimson surge]

Ok let me make sure I got this right, attention drops increase the longer the interaction goes on for, right?

[viscid meteor]

yeah

same as the points you earn

[void lintel]

Not exactly

Seems the attention drop steepens on certain turn thresholds

[viscid meteor]

both points earned and attention drop increases the more you go

[void lintel]

Whereas score bonuses just plain gain +1 per turn

[viscid meteor]

yeah, but the affirmation is correct I think?

[void lintel]

It's one of the reasons I'm suspicious of the Feel Ring. It calls out all the Hot Topics in the first six turns or so... meaning they will already be gone and unavailable for the later and more expensive turns

[glass roost]

Do subjects get removed for successive rounds if they appear, even if not selected?

[void lintel]

Correct

[carmine pilot]

They don't reappear

[void lintel]

No subject will spawn more than once even if you don't select it

[carmine pilot]

BUT at least ensure you some points

[glass roost]

Hmmmm never noticed that outright but thinking about it, yeah that’s my experience

Hmmmm that sucks lol

[void lintel]

When you use the Feel Ring, it's very noticeable

[viscid meteor]

yup

[void lintel]

All the Hot Topics are in the first 5 or 6 turns

[glass roost]

I always end up using feel ring

[void lintel]

And all gone thereafter

[crimson surge]

I just use every expedition item

[glass roost]

Same

[void lintel]

I'm leaving the Feel Ring out so I can "ration" the Hot Topics out through the convo

[glass roost]

I’ll try no feel ring tomorrow to see if it helps

[void lintel]

I've also been trying for Boost Juice Max Vibes on Turn 3. I suspect the results are slightly better than the savescum-for-max-vibes-on-turn-2 method

[crimson surge]

Why exactly would it help?

[viscid meteor]

I use Max Vibes on Turn 4-5

[void lintel]

So you have Hot Topics on expensive turns

[viscid meteor]

but its very risky because they can end you as soon vibes end lol

[void lintel]

Feel Ring wastes all the Hot Topics on cheap ones

[crimson surge]

Oh

[carmine pilot]

That's my 5th 95% run
Did everything as best planning possibile

[void lintel]

I savescum for a Hot Topic on Turn 3; my first possible point of failure is when Max Vibes ends on Turn 5 with 96% attention

[alpine flare]

so if a topic appears once it won't appear again even if you don't choose it?

[void lintel]

Yeajh

[viscid meteor]

yeah

[alpine flare]

i see

[void lintel]

People keep tuning in late and we have to repeat the conversation all over again

[sharp solar]

Stall enough and you can see the Void

[glass roost]

Even if not the hot topic, always better to choose “super exciting topics”

[void lintel]

Nah

[sharp solar]

Duh

[carmine pilot]

You know when reset

[void lintel]

The Feel Ring does this a lot

[glass roost]

Well I’m going based on the pic that was posted… don’t think that “duh” was necessary…

[sharp solar]

The choice between non-hot topics is easy.
But 7-points hot topic can be better than 10-points non-hot topic.

[void lintel]

On, for example, turn 6... that's 12pts and half attention drain vs 15pts and full attention drain

So yeah, non-ideal hot topic can be great

[carmine pilot]

When i trust +7 hot topics i usually get shafted
So lately i'm just running +10

[crimson surge]

Are there any things that count for multiple topics?

[void lintel]

Nope

And sometimes it's not the topic you think it is

Nebby is not a Friend
Nebby is a Pokémon

[sharp solar]

So better check your info if you're not sure

[crimson surge]

Does Partner Pokemon actually count for Other??

[random cloud]

I believe so, yes

[crimson surge]

That is strange

[void lintel]

Lance is a Friend even for Silver

[glass roost]

With all the topics guides out there, should be using one for all interactions tbh

[sharp solar]

It'd be funny if he was "other"

[void lintel]

Right?

[crimson surge]

Silver is a friend for N but it’s not very interesting

[glass roost]

For optimal interactions

[sharp solar]

Elaborate

[void lintel]

I think they mean never trying an interaction without a guide handy

[glass roost]

[alpine flare]

for sure

[sharp solar]

Ah, that helps, yeah.

[glass roost]

I thought my point was clear my apologies

[sharp solar]

It's just somewhat obvious so I thought you meant something else

[glass roost]

That’s also assuming most players know what is “obvious” lol

[sharp solar]

Welll, if we talk about guides, it feels strange mentioning that people should use them.

[crimson surge]

Since there are so many people here right now I’d like to ask, what Friendship Level are you at with your chosen trainer?

[glass roost]

75 with Marnie

[void lintel]

I might disagree... so many people never read the hecking manuals for the things they use

[glass roost]

Very this

[sharp solar]

Mm... What I meant was more of "Mentioning it here and now feels weird as if you're discussing guides, you're likely to already use them anyway"

[glass roost]

Also if someone is suggesting for people to use guides to help, and a “teacher” is saying it’s obvious, just seems super dismissive to me and not helpful, but that’s just me I guess.

[sharp solar]

Anyway, doesn't matter now.

[carmine pilot]

70+ Cynthia, but the first 3 days were quite random

[sharp solar]

I wasn't saying "It's obvious, so it shouldn't be mentioned". I just thought you meant something else due to topic at thd moment.

[glass roost]

Early days were trying to figure out things, successive characters should be easier with mats and a better understanding of interactions

Understood

[urban flicker]

81 with Rosa

[crimson surge]

That’s the highest I’ve seen

[glass roost]

Anywhere in the 70-80s rn seems pretty good

Also realistic

[crimson surge]

Yeah I’m there

[onyx quarry]

I would be if i didnt get shafted today

[crimson surge]

How exactly did you get shafted

Did you use all 6 interactions at once and then had your conversation ended at 90%

[viscid meteor]

that happened earlier today

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1012298913279127582/1015505232861597747/Screenshot_20220903-021431_Pokmon_Masters_EX.jpg?width=230&height=498

someone posted this here lol

[urban flicker]

They didn't trigger max vibes

[crimson surge]

See that’s why I just do one interaction at a time

[sudden forum]

I just wanted to save a little time by doing 5 interactions... and he ditches me after max vibes on 4th topic.

[glass roost]

200 points for one day? Pain

[onyx quarry]

No worse, i used 6 seperate ones and i got 90% conversation enders on 4/6

[past dune]

that's why you do it separately so you waste your time even more while still having bad rng

[maiden haven]

did we figure out what's the deal with cheer taking half a day to appear again

[void lintel]

My best guess is that it's a 24hr cooldown plus a randomized interval

[maiden haven]

i need Lana to consistently have 10 blue 10 chest instead of 9 blue 10 chest

and cheer being only for 12 hours can be felt in number of resources

[gusty topaz]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[marble hemlock]

stay in Trainer Lodge for everyone except Silver

for Silver, probably the Battle Villa location for chance to spawn Partner Pokemon and The PML

[acoustic vector]

Has anyone made a guide on the best way to optimise lodge? With like the items and interactions and stuff?

[marble hemlock]

the first pin is pretty good. though there's a good argument for using boost juice instead of feel ring

you can reset for a particular Hot Topic and specific location if you want to optimize it more

[worldly ivy]

I ACTUALLY HIT 0% ATTENTION

[next junco]

400 + pt

Imagine x6

[jovial moon]

What items did u use? I've only hit 0% once

[worldly ivy]

uhm, I used all 4 of the basic items then gave him a gold gift

but really I just think I got lucky because I've done the same and ended at like mid 80's so lol

[jovial moon]

Ah

[autumn stone]

https://tenor.com/view/silver-pokemon-silver-pokemon-mastes-poke-mas-pokemon-masters-silver-pokemon-silly-gif-26619558

Silver really loves you... In a few days you'll hit 100 soon

[halcyon seal]

Seems like tomorrow I finish Cynthia. This is going a lot faster than expected. I don't even have enough for the gold gift x6. I'm still about 1500 out. I guess somebody else will benefit from that multiplier.

[worldly ivy]

AND NEXT INTERACTION ENDED AT 6%?????????

One after this also ended at 6% hello???????????

IDK WHY SILVER IS SO NICE TO ME TODAY BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING,

still have 3 more interactions to do tho so am 100% expecting them to end at like 90% 😌

[cold ferry]

Highest level today

?

[next junco]

Someone gonna reach lv 100 today

[marble hemlock]

seen a few people mentioning 90+. definitely expecting multiple lv100s after reset

[next junco]

still need 3 more reset

[worldly ivy]

ok next one ended at 86% and didn't have a chance to give silver an item 😌 balance has been restored to the world

[cold ferry]

pin the first lvl 100

[worldly ivy]

went from lvl 68 to 84 today silver was so nice

[next junco]

bruh hope i get 15 lv today

[halcyon seal]

I'll hit 100 tomorrow for sure so there has to be somebody who hit it today.

[next junco]

Gonna spend all 3 gold gift

bruh i just realized we cant finish daily mission in future when we max out all pair and we have to buy lv cap up

in need of 3 free lodge pair each month

[worldly ivy]

am assuming we'll get regular lodge updates for this reason

like I don't see them locking a daily mission behind a limited item

oh and someone also brought up the potential that we'll still be able to interact after hitting the level cap, just won't get any EXP/rewards

[next junco]

Bruh that would be so cringe

[worldly ivy]

I'm hoping it's a combination of both

[next junco]

collect rare stone for now

[worldly ivy]

they frequently update the lodge, but also let u keep interacting with them even if u hit the level cap in case some stingy kid with none of the gacha pairs burns thru all the f2p pairs and doesn't wanna unlock level caps

[next junco]

[worldly ivy]

but ye pls give us frequent updates

I'm still excited to do lodge with blue but after him I don't really care for the initial batch

[next junco]

I dont see lodge unit worth scouting in monthly poke fair scout tho

[worldly ivy]

I'd potentially be tempted to pull charas for lodge down the line, but current box doesn't tempt me (mainly cause I don't wanna risk getting marnie 🏃🏾‍♀️)

[next junco]

0.45% for marnie or sth

Too low i hope she will come with 2% next month tho

[worldly ivy]

not pulling in the box but might grab cynthia with a future select down the line

[next junco]

Hope for another free ticket

[rocky sparrow]

Are these worth purchasing?

[worldly ivy]

not for now at least

it just unlocks the friendship level cap but most ppl aren't at the level cap yet and when u do hit the level cap u can always just switch to a new chara

also u can get those keys from caches in expeditions

[rocky sparrow]

Thank ya

[void lintel]

Tbh there is nothing else to spend tier4 stones on, since two cache teams generate way more than you can spend on daily interactions

And your bottleneck for gold presents is tier3 stones, not tier4

So that thing is in fact the most useful thing to purchase with them, so long as you have enough left over to buy the next day's interactions

[long nymph]

Guys is this a good plan?, i changed from 2 lvl 10 chest team to 1 lvl 10 chest team, and 3 lvl 10 color mats farming...because i found myself lack in blue mats to buy rosa's friendship item

[next junco]

you purse 2 max blue team?

[hard badger]

I would rather do the 3000 gold 30 emerald deal for the silver unlocks than the 30 30 30 for the gold

[next junco]

Honestly best way to farm blue is double chest team since you cant really max out blue without cheer

[hard badger]

I'll just do the red units first and maybe by the time I'm done we'll have a way to do 1/1/10/10

The red units have the best lodge pairs anyway

[next junco]

Always do double chest

[lost pumice]

[next junco]

I have enough for 20 red silver gift now

While im grinding blue

[lost pumice]

Im only griding red and still have enough blue and yellow

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Thx to catches

[next junco]

yes

Pretty consistent drop of each type per day

[lusty hazel]

I have yet to get a 5* power up from those chest

[lost pumice]

Same

I got bertha from the chest

[lusty hazel]

Gold items are more rare than the green one which is a higher category

[next junco]

i semi had it tho... Got 30 ticket scout and got dupe so = 5 pu ticket

[next junco]

Lucky

[lost pumice]

Those tix got me bertha

[winter galleon]

yeah i went back to one chest team cuz i ran out of reds for presents and all im getting are the crystals for interactions

i havent even got a 3* power up

[lost pumice]

Im going with double red and chests

[next junco]

Double chest team fuel my juice tho

https://tenor.com/view/sip-gif-26290143

[lost pumice]

Lmao

[winter galleon]

maybe i should try that, what's your teams?

[lost pumice]

I don't remember eggxatly but alola team with MR ,olivia,selene and I forgot

[winter galleon]

i am still concerned about my silver crystal stocks tho. im doing 7/7/7/0 and 10/0/0/10

[void lintel]

7/7/7 is a trap

[winter galleon]

why?

[void lintel]

0/0/0/10 generates more gold crystals of all three colors than 7/7/7/0

Each level is worth more than the previous; just barely reaching the tier gives you very little

[winter galleon]

oh im not going for gold im going for silver

my previous team was 8/6/5/0 or something then i found a team thats 7/7/7 so

[void lintel]

I straightup do not have silver income issues with two teams running cache

[winter galleon]

and again, my chest luck is abysmal all i get is the 4 tier crystals

[void lintel]

Though I also do not use both Boost Juice and Feel Rings in the same go

[winter galleon]

ahh

i always buy feel rings but only recently bought like 3 boost juice everyday

[void lintel]

You can savescum to compensate for lacking one or the other

[winter galleon]

though recently im starting to feel like feel rings dont matter cuz im 3 rounds in and theres yet to be a hot topic choice

[void lintel]

And I'm really suspicious of Feel Rings lately... A convo choice, once it spawns, will not respawn during the same convo even if you did not select it.

[winter galleon]

yeah that too

mine works the opposite apparently it scares the hot topics away

[void lintel]

Feel Rings bring the Hot Topic choices in early and leave the later, more expensive turns bereft of Hot Topics

[winter galleon]

i only want to do 100 on Silver by Monday then I'll do double cache

[void lintel]

Lately I use Boost Juice and reset the convo until the first Hot Topic spawns on turn 3

[winter galleon]

oooh interesting

[void lintel]

And without Feel Rings, the Hot Topics can show up more gradually thereafter

[winter galleon]

oh and also i dont think 1 red cache team is enough i need like 3000 fiery silvers every reset

[novel root]

Hey guys, do we know how raising the friendship level cap works? Is it just to get more tokens or are their different rewards after lvl 100?

[winter galleon]

just lodge stones iirc

[novel root]

Oof

[winter galleon]

im guessing its for endgame when you have all your available pairs at 100

[novel root]

Huh well that'll take me a while then, resorting to using bronze gifts cause I never get the chance to use silver let alone gold

[void lintel]

Eh. Sounds like you're suffering from success. The guest doesn't stay in the convo long enough for a present, often

[winter galleon]

oh not really

i just give my present early

[novel root]

...I didn't think of that

[void lintel]

Aaaand that would explain why you're starved for them

[kind marlin]

If you’re being efficient with resources you should only give gifts when you have a good run going

[winter galleon]

i do max vibes turn 2, do something turn 4, then if Silver doesnt leave at 94% i give him the present

[novel root]

Tbf you should be getting a decent amount to be able to throw around bronze gifts no problem

[winter galleon]

ive had too many runs end at 90% to do something else

[void lintel]

Ugh, yeah that wastes a lot of it

[winter galleon]

at best it gains me enough exp to level up at least, as opposed to just like 33 points

though yeah i did notice going below 50% attention but still not reaching 200 points

[void lintel]

Your base score should be way higher than 33pts even without a gift

[alpine flare]

I can’t seem to make a 0/4/4/10 team

[novel root]

No he meant addition exp from gifts

[alpine flare]

Because my only 3 chest guy is on the other team

[novel root]

You could just use a potion if your around 7-8

[void lintel]

Turn 1 is 7-10, turn 2 is 8-11 and enters max vibes, Turn 3 is 18-24, Turn 4 is 20-26

[alpine flare]

I’m considering extract already

[winter galleon]

the most i can get with the technique is 180 though usually its 130 exp

[alpine flare]

So on team a I need 4 guys plus rare extract for 10 chest, that leaves 2 slots

[novel root]

Oof maybe you have a better region for chests then?

[void lintel]

Even with only 7pt topics available, that is 53pts

[winter galleon]

ahh

i just saw someone with 33 pts, i was exaggerating

[void lintel]

If there were a Striker Elite4 in Hoenn, it would work there.

Steven, E4 Striker (does not exist), and four +2Rares

[winter galleon]

its just so much effort to reset at 3rd topic if there isnt a hot topic

though i guess that's where using all interactions comes in

[carmine pilot]

That'a a good point, one day i had to reset like 10+ times for just one interaction
Then, bored, i choose to gey the best setup doing a x3 to save time
Got kicked out at 91%

[void lintel]

My current plan, when my current essences run out, is
Team A
Selene Hapu Lusamine Guzma Plumeria Hau

Team B
SSLusamine (any +2 Rare striker) (Any +2 Rare striker) Nate Shauntal Caitlyn

With both having Rare Extract, that is 10/0/0/10 both

[winter galleon]

yeah exactly you get it

and also with doing that i'll still be running out of presents

not sure if i should just settle with bronze

[void lintel]

Yeah, because you waste them

[carmine pilot]

An idk why but resetting for the best setup bring me always bad luck
I got way better by just going yolo whatever the hot topic is

[void lintel]

You may as well use bronze if you gift at 90+%

[winter galleon]

no i mean if i was doing x6 interactions and got a good run i'd still be needing 6 silver presents everyday

[void lintel]

May as well be throwing those berries on the floor if you're not using the +Attention to its fullest

[void lintel]

That's the trick. You won't have a good run every day

[winter galleon]

the chances of getting dropped at 89 is too high ok

[void lintel]

Bad runs won't waste your gifts and they won't have a score worth boosting with a gift to begin with

[winter galleon]

yeah fair, i only use silver for the score boost

[void lintel]

Take it in stride. Socializing isn't supposed to be predictable

[next junco]

do single interaction

I fail only 1 out of 6

[winter galleon]

too much resets

[next junco]

So 5 time 150+ point x5 per day

Consisten

[void lintel]

Tbh the avg fail rate should be a bit above one in four, so that is actually kinda lucky

[winter galleon]

i just wanna 100 silver quickly and after that i'll just do whatever the hell

[hard badger]

Does the infographic mean we can expect 12 tier 4 per day or is it we can expect 12 per type?

[void lintel]

Is this about Silver being fave or is this about wanting that Feraligatr

[worldly ivy]

Gonna be so disappointed if silver doesn't have any new lines at lvl 100 😔

[carmine pilot]

This reset i failed hard
x3 at 91% and 1 at 95%

It's my fifth 95% idk what'a wrong with me but i'm totally covered by bad luck
Even had to pity RedChu and ssaCynthia

[next junco]

I mean if you get max vibe and give gift then it is fine. I used juice so 100% max vibe and i give gift first time attention drop

[void lintel]

Some days you just end up being 95%s Georg

[winter galleon]

silver being the one i like the most in this set

[alpine flare]

I don’t wanna be Georg

[winter galleon]

i just meant i wanna move on to another character quick so i stop pulling my hair out trying to reset for the perfect interaction

[void lintel]

Reference to the Spiders Georg meme about statistical outliers

[carmine pilot]

Not to mention the chests giving orbs or manuals

[next junco]

imagine do reset

[alpine flare]

Ohhh lol

[next junco]

Never be me

[next junco]

I like the manual tho

Not as bad as 60000 coins

[alpine flare]

Before I had no manuals

Now I have too many

[next junco]

Same, before i grind manual, now i overflow

[alpine flare]

I literally ran to 0 before hoenn va

[void lintel]

"The statistic that people eat x spiders per year is a statistical error. The average person eats zero spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in a cave and eats millions of spiders daily, is an outlier and should not be counted"

So some days you discover you are 95%s Georg, pulling up the average for the rest of us

[carmine pilot]

Had 700 green exp manuals today, i'm giving them to eggmons

[alpine flare]

https://tenor.com/view/george-seinfeld-upset-angry-annoyed-3rd-person-gif-10635689

[next junco]

[next junco]

bruh all my egg mon reached lv 150 so fast

[void lintel]

"Memes are surprisingly educational sometimes. Spiders Georg teaches us about statistical outliers."
"That is a statistical error. The average meme contains zero facts. Spiders Georg is, once again, an outlier and should not be counted."

[next junco]

They increase like 20 stat total

[void lintel]

On the bright side, no Certificates needed

[next junco]

[hard badger]

Leveling up even eggs to 150 takes a gross amount of resources

[lost pumice]

Kinda waste of resources imo

Since the stat buff isn't noticable

[alpine flare]

Only 106 green book

Easier to press max button than manually

That being said none of my eggmons are worth investing rn lol

[severe river]

Yea, eggs gain most of their stats from affinity and potential

[hard badger]

I needed eggs in order to reach my goal of 2 mil collective power by my 1 year anniversary

[lost pumice]

Lmao

[alpine flare]

Oh they count?

[hard badger]

They're my babies

[next junco]

talk about resource... i level up everything when that green thingy appear

[void lintel]

I had enough books to max all my named pairs and still had several dozen thousands of gold books left over; I'm not gonna judge someone who throws them at eggmons for the hell of it because I might do that too just to get something out of them

[alpine flare]

BRB raiding the daycare to become partners with everything I can see

[hard badger]

I'm the strongest amongst my friends now (please don't friend me)

[lost pumice]

I haven't even bothered to lvl140 my units

[void lintel]

I'm only NOT pressing the Max button because he can still gain EXP from his event's daily battle

[lost pumice]

Most EXed are 140 but not all

[hard badger]

I get them to max lvl cap and lvl 135 but let natural leveling do the rest

[next junco]

my strength only 1.3 mil

[lost pumice]

Mine is around 1.2 iirc

[hard badger]

Strength means nothing really

[lost pumice]

Eggxatly

[next junco]

do more egg

[hard badger]

What matters is if you can clear content

[lost pumice]

No

[hard badger]

And also lodge

[lost pumice]

Yeah lodge is meta

[next junco]

flex matterial

[lost pumice]

Battles are chore

[next junco]

People ex unit for rainbow foil

[alpine flare]

I am only barely above 1mil damn

[void lintel]

I EX'd Cynthia just to see how well her ground sync nuke will work next week in CSMM

[lost pumice]

I still can't decide if I should 5/5 Cynthia for the frame

[long nymph]

I can max blue without cheer using this team

[alpine flare]

Damn, I want to play ground weak csmm

Unfortunately have to unlock mm first :((((

[void lintel]

(And maybe also a little for the holofoil and song key)

[hard badger]

You'll be able to soon Nicole will be coming later this month

[alpine flare]

Nicole

[next junco]

Ah yeah you can

Out of mind a bit

[lost pumice]

Oh holofoil is locked to EX?

[void lintel]

Yeah

[alpine flare]

Holofoil what?

[lost pumice]

Didn't know since my Cynthia is already EXed

[void lintel]

5/5 is the partner mon frame, holofoil is for EX

[alpine flare]

We’re a tcg now?

[lost pumice]

Always have been

[void lintel]

Sycamore straightup cannot get holofoil on his photo

[alpine flare]

Damn

[lost pumice]

[long nymph]

I gonna do silver after rosa, he is my most easily accessible 5/5 unit easy 5/5 holofoil

[lost pumice]

Soon

[void lintel]

...There was even a gameboy game about the TCG

I liked it

[hard badger]

Her name is actually Naomi my mistake

[next junco]

hint for next VA

[alpine flare]

Lol

I meant I want to wreck ground weak csmm with the magma duo

[void lintel]

It has to get in line behind the speculations for Alola and Unova

[alpine flare]

No need for Naomi

[long nymph]

Hop Wooloo lodge pair when DeNa?

[lost pumice]

Man can't wait for syncamore to not get critfocus in grid

[next junco]

sinnoh come first tho

[alpine flare]

Probably hop starter

[hard badger]

Why would Alola come next?

[alpine flare]

Cinderace?

[void lintel]

??? Sinnoh villain arc already happened

[alpine flare]

Rerun pls

[next junco]

Yeah that

[alpine flare]

Need Cyrus

[lost pumice]

Lmao

[next junco]

The sequence dont really matter

[hard badger]

It's the finals of the Masters 8 tournament so skipping to Galar seems reasonable and next in line would ordinarily be Unova

[ripe gorge]

Ss cyrus is in select tho

[alpine flare]

Need normal Cyrus ex

[void lintel]

I mean I want a rerun too for Lucas/SSDawn/SSCyrus to share a banner

[lost pumice]

Sinnoh only happened cuz of bdsp tho

[alpine flare]

Straight up my best striker

[lost pumice]

Besides that its gen wise

[hard badger]

Palkia Ex won't do much for water Cyrus but the grid expansion was great

[next junco]

I dont know why they run shinoh event before johto tho... Well but glad i have usable silver

[lost pumice]

U missed sinnoh VA?

[next junco]

Yeah

[void lintel]

So that's why there's speculation for Unova next...

[lost pumice]

Yeah

[hard badger]

I'd think it's Galar next

[void lintel]

Freebie Alola Naomi and Alola grid expansions next Masters Day made me think it could be Alola next

[glad pasture]

I think that means it's not Alola next

Because they wouldn't do two Alola months back to back

Cuz you know they're gonna do Alola pairs during the month of Alola VA too

[next junco]

Or they just re run shinoh VA more cynthia alt

[hard badger]

We got Giovanni and reruns of the special units Misty and Blue for the run up to anni which was largely Kanto focused

I'm down for Sinnoh rerun as Ssr Cynthia is an mvp for tech lodge expeditions

[lost pumice]

Id love that but Im already missing Lucynthia

[next junco]

Lucythia?

[lost pumice]

New Cynthia

Lucario

[hard badger]

Lucario doesn't so anything in particular for expeditions easy skip

[next junco]

Still have 19k gem to come

[lost pumice]

Yeah

[next junco]

Dont lose hope

[lost pumice]

I meant for more Cynthia alts

[next junco]

I see

i can have another pity at the end of this month

[lost pumice]

Nice

[hard badger]

From what I'm hearing there's a reasonable expectation for any of the regions to be next for the villain event...except Kalos

[lost pumice]

Ppl be like 4 Cynthia too much dena how about 5 Cynthia's

[next junco]

Enough is never enough

[void lintel]

I'm looking at PomaTools' list filtered for 3 and 4 stars, sorted by grid date recency
When there isn't a Villain arc, it looks like the Masters Day grids are mixed regions

So having triple Alola at all looks suspicious to me

[lost pumice]

Now that u say it

Idk at this moment

[glad pasture]

I wouldn't be surprised either way. But when Alola VA runs, we will most likely get Alola grid expansions.

[next junco]

Dont think Unova come next... If so they kept Rosa for it

[void lintel]

Yeah, this is looking too plausible in several directions to nail it down

[viscid meteor]

did someone said Alola VA?

[hard badger]

All we know is that it won't be Kalos

[viscid meteor]

[lost pumice]

Poor kalos

[glad pasture]

I need those goddamn Alola tickets

[alpine flare]

Y not

[next junco]

sycamore has Ex foil... It is a sign you cant deny

[glad pasture]

So I would be happy

[viscid meteor]

I want my Sonia to be 3/5...

[lost pumice]

Still suffering from 2 general pool units even after 3 years

[hard badger]

What would Alola tickets do there are too many in the pool to reliably get what you want

[ripe gorge]

Will they be adding a trainer from Alola to lodge if thats true 🤔

[glad pasture]

0/5 Lana, 0/5 Kimsley, 1/5 Hala.... I got no Alola luck

[next junco]

I miss like 4-5 alola now

[ripe gorge]

Kimsley?

[lost pumice]

During last SC event I wished for lillie and got her from alola tix

[hard badger]

Traitor Grimsley

[lost pumice]

[ripe gorge]

Oh kimono grimsley

[next junco]

Cant even build a good expedition team

[ripe gorge]

The traitor

[lost pumice]

The moment when blue and chatche has +1 by default but doesn't got well together

[glad pasture]

My missing after 2.5 years lmao

[void lintel]

Fwiw Unova and Alola are both parts of the same real-world country, so...

[hard badger]

Johto Alola can do a 0/0/10/10 Team with rare extract

[lost pumice]

Im only missing looker and courtney from general pool

Got allister and lucian recently

[hard badger]

Requires Ss Kris and SS Gio though so it's pretty difficult

[glad pasture]

Lucky you

[ripe gorge]

Unova seems like a soft reboot

[next junco]

Ss kris re run

Bruh lodge meta is brutal

[void lintel]

Kinda? The idea was to have veterans and newcomers both unfamiliar with the mons

...And there is a Pikachu billboard visible at one point but you can't catch a Pikachu until several hours later in the postgame

[ripe gorge]

Yeah, no wild pokemon from prev gens as well. Well at least before you beat the league

[void lintel]

Tfw there is an alternate dimension of Manhattan without a rat infestation

[alpine flare]

Me with ss kris and morty but not using them 🧍

[next junco]

Region with Tree and Rock everywhere

when people say they like BW i always doubt

[void lintel]

It might be better if the damn place had a proper E4 and champion

It only has two E4 tags and no Champion tag

[hard badger]

Johto would probably be one of the best expedition teams if they had the Rocket Leftovers

[alpine flare]

Admins soon

Petrel sweep

[ripe gorge]

Its just nostalgic to me, im at the same age as the pokemom franchise

[void lintel]

Maybe by 4th anni, if indeed it takes two years per story season

[hard badger]

Archer will be the +3 chest support unit that we've been waiting for

[void lintel]

I'm mildly loyal to Unova because I live near there and work there.
I think I preferred Kalos' gameplay and feel though

[ripe gorge]

I just wanna have an expedition team full of team rocket

[void lintel]

Jessie, James, Gio, and three Admins huh

[alpine flare]

Are Jessie and James chest units

[void lintel]

Yes

Villain tag

[ripe gorge]

Yep

[alpine flare]

I really need them damn

[void lintel]

Gio even has a Persian now

[alpine flare]

My kanto team is hella wack

[ripe gorge]

Weirdly enough masked royal have the +3 chest too

[lost pumice]

Yeah for some reason

[void lintel]

Kanto can do yellow/cache but when there are only 2/9 yellow guests... Ugh, no reason to do it

[hard badger]

You can make a team full of Magma and Aqua members. You have Maxie Zinnia and Courtney from team Magma and...oh does no one want to be on Archie's team? It's pretty sad that he's the only Aqua member

[alpine flare]

As we all know masked royal is the assumed identity of the evilest villain in the whole series

[ripe gorge]

Yeah we lack Aqua member

[alpine flare]

We have yet to unmask him

[void lintel]

...He has the cache because he is a battle facility foe

[hard badger]

Masked Royal is Leon

Undefeated champion with an undefeated fire starter

[void lintel]

Same as RCynthia

[ripe gorge]

Obviously another Lilie alt

[hard badger]

Leon is also a battle facility foe

[alpine flare]

All the mcs are battle facility foes

[night tide]

I hate the max thing I’ve accidentally maxed out to non favs level caps to 140 and 140 was only for my favs…

[lost pumice]

And now u can confirm that MR≠Kukui

[alpine flare]

… for the foes

[void lintel]

They don't have the tag, and that is the key

[lost pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-panda-oogway-accidents-there-are-no-accidents-destiny-gif-16270886

[alpine flare]

Imma tag em 🚫 🔱 🏃‍♂️

[ripe gorge]

||wait can kukui be in the same team with MR tho? I havent check yet ||

[void lintel]

He cannot

Because they have the same first name

Professor Kukui and Professor The Masked Royal

[lost pumice]

Ehh

[void lintel]

Oak's first name is Samuel
Sycamore's first name is Augustine

[alpine flare]

Professor oak

Lol

Damn

[lost pumice]

Professor oak is MR?

[void lintel]

No, you can have them in the same room together

[ripe gorge]

Wait i thought oak have a long lost brother in Alola

Cant rmb the name

[lost pumice]

Samson

[alpine flare]

Samsonite

[ripe gorge]

Yup thats it

[lost pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/charjabug-dancing-pokemon-samson-oak-gif-8621705

[void lintel]

It baffles me because I look less like my brother than those two look alike

[ripe gorge]

😂

[hard badger]

Oak was an underground wrestler Masked Royal is too mainstream

[alpine flare]

Dang

[void lintel]

I don't know what they're paying that Rotom but it isn't enojgh

[lost pumice]

Chad oak

[ripe gorge]

Fitting name

[void lintel]

Samson. The brother's name is Samson

[lost pumice]

Samuel oak
Samson oak

[alpine flare]

This is hilarious btw 😂

[ripe gorge]

Both come from the same oak tree

[void lintel]

The apple doesn't fall far, indeed

[lost pumice]

I wonder whose oak beating here

[hard badger]

In context it was just some little girl

[alpine flare]

There’s one member of the oak family that doesn’t really have the family resemblance

His name is toxicr

[lost pumice]

We know

[ripe gorge]

That pokeball belt tho

[lost pumice]

He is shooting Pokemon like Inceneroar shoots fire

well then

[lost pumice]

I got 10 tix too

[knotty nymph]

got a glacia

[lost pumice]

[knotty nymph]

[lost pumice]

I got 3rd bertha before

[knotty nymph]

only one i'm missing rn is lucian

[lost pumice]

Im missing looker and courtney

From general pool

Got lucian from Cynthia banner

[glad acorn]

Well duh, those two are still recent

[lost pumice]

Yeah but I hope to pull them from these MFs

[glad acorn]

Guess saving up Hoenn scout tix too

For next anniversary

[lost pumice]

Next year lmao

[glad acorn]

Sounds dumb, but I got bertha and aaron to 3/5 that way

[lost pumice]

Same

Hoenn tix are being saved since no new unit added to pool besides sidney which I got 3/5

[ripe gorge]

I wish marnie is in the pool

I want toxicroak

[glad acorn]

You can get spooked by her in Cynthia banner right now, but whether if that is worth it is another matter

I saw some jp players actually doing that

[ripe gorge]

As in SSA Cyn? Or the normal one?

I have ssacyn 1/5, and garchomp is 3/5. So nope maybe another chance

[glad acorn]

The current monthly pokefair banner

You have odds to get spooked by either N or Marnie

Yeah, the exact 3 pokefair that are needed in Lodge

DeNA found out how to milk players

[ripe gorge]

Only one im missing is Marnie sadly the alts doesnt count as unlocking in the lodge

[ripe gorge]

Yeah haha

[glad acorn]

Try sending a feedback. Maybe there is a way to get DeNA to consider any alt as long as it's the pair in question

[ripe gorge]

Im just gonna focus on leveling cynthia first

I thought they gonna at least add it in the 5* ticket pool. But eh

[glad acorn]

Nah, pokefair is too valueable for them to do that

[weak crag]

missing marnie and lillie

wack

[lost pumice]

Missing Marnie from lodge

[next junco]

thanks lilie

[weak crag]

12 levels today, pretty decent

[rocky sparrow]

Definitely working as intended, last two nights, previous was the same just didn't think to screenshot

[last trellis]

I'm going after Cynthia and I've started to just reset whenever fashion is a hot topic

[alpine flare]

Got kicked down from 26 to 0 cuz ran out of topics 💀

[last trellis]

have you tried being more skillful?

[rocky sparrow]

I failed at 96% that's redonkulous

[alpine flare]

Had to talk about the weather at one point thought for sure he’d leave me then

[rocky sparrow]

More skillfull?

[alpine flare]

Having less skill issues

[shrewd gorge]

Is there any way to optimize red and chests while getting a little bit of something else?

[rocky sparrow]

How is my issue a skill issue and not luck based? Every question I hit was super and I hit max vibes 3rd interaction in. Total of 5 interactions for a loss of 4% interest and he's done. That can't be normal.

[alpine flare]

Joke

[lethal marsh]

Reminder that the feel ring actually makes hot topics less common

[shrewd gorge]

Huh why

Is it broken?

[lethal marsh]

not actually

[shrewd gorge]

Lmao

[last trellis]

apologems incoming?

[shrewd gorge]

I was gonna say it kinda feels like it does that

[lethal marsh]

I swear I literally could not get a good topic lol

[glad acorn]

I would have reset by 2nd topic

[alpine flare]

Yeah I actually stopped using feel ring and got my 0/100 today

[shrewd gorge]

So wait as long as we reset on topic 2 before a topic is selected, the interaction will remain?

[alpine flare]

Reasoning being feel ring makes hot topic spawn at the beginning

Rather than later

So no sustain after max vibes

[shrewd gorge]

Yeah I’m done with the feel ring tbh

[last trellis]

from what i can tell, as long as you reset at least mid animation, it should be ok

[glad acorn]

The most ideal time to start max vibe is during 2nd topic. 1st topic, you waste one free topic. 3rd topic, first attention drop and you can break interaction from there

[analog furnace]

Ping me if someone hits lv100 today, there might be a couple candidates

[glad acorn]

Only close app when you have clickable topics. Never during mid animation

Unless you are totally cool voiding 6x interactions

[viscid meteor]

I already saw 3 at level 100

[marble hemlock]

[analog furnace]

Who?

[lethal marsh]

I had the 2nd tier present so I wanted to get to 80% attention before popping it

[last trellis]

congrats

[alpine flare]

No way

[viscid meteor]

other server haha

[alpine flare]

Gg

[viscid meteor]

they got Silver/Marnie/Cynthia

[analog furnace]

[lethal marsh]

sheesh

[shrewd gorge]

Right so what I had proposed would go over okay right?

[analog furnace]

Silver/Marnie/Cynthia... lv100?

[last trellis]

was wondering who would be the first

[viscid meteor]

3 different people

they went for 3 different pairs

[analog furnace]

I mean yeah since you said 3 people

[alpine flare]

The scout tickets from my lv up rewards brought me Lillie… my next target

[viscid meteor]

yep

[analog furnace]

Dw, I realise I asked that in a way that sounded like it was almost confused lmao

My b

[glad acorn]

You get minimum of 80 point if you start max vibe at 2nd topic. Can get higher from there

[analog furnace]

Nice that it's 3 diff charas

[viscid meteor]

yep

[autumn stone]

hmm interesting

[distant ember]

🎉

[analog furnace]

Any of them confirm there's not much to going beyond lv100? Presents of note or anything?

[glad acorn]

If you choose not to do max vibe on 2nd topic, you can get minimum of 33 points. Choose your poison

[shrewd gorge]

Yes so in order to guarantee hot topic on topic 2, it’s okay to reset before you select anything right?

[autumn stone]

I'll do a couple of rolls w/out ring then

[glad acorn]

When the game gives you 3 clickable topics, you can reset

[distant ember]

beyond level 100 is just for an infinitely renewable source of lodge stones

[glad acorn]

Don't do it when all greyed out

[analog furnace]

You don't get any other rewards?

[distant ember]

no

[analog furnace]

[autumn stone]

how much stones for dupes?

[shrewd gorge]

Wdym all greyed out

[slim gulch]

[shrewd gorge]

Is that after selecting it

[slate saddle]

Hello

[distant ember]

ripoff

[slim gulch]

oh cool they have a thread

[distant ember]

4star candies are the way

[slate saddle]

Someone help me

[viscid meteor]

yep

[analog furnace]

Support candies are kinda limited tho

[viscid meteor]

that too

thankfully I have 9 🙂

[slate saddle]

Why does my interaction end when I choose all the characters favourite topics?

[analog furnace]

[glad acorn]

Greyed out means non-clickable. Is my english that hard to follow?

[distant ember]

still imo preferable to using 500 stones

[glad acorn]

Damn it

I got 95%

[slate saddle]

It ended at 4 topics and I chose all 10 pointers

[viscid meteor]

its RNG

[autumn stone]

heavy XD

[viscid meteor]

you're at risk of getting cut off after the 2nd topic

[glad acorn]

Two more days I guess

[slate saddle]

Serious?

[distant ember]

the attention % on the top right is the exact chance of the conversation continuing!

[glad acorn]

when you write a pin out, and no one wants to read it

[distant ember]

whatever the percentage is, that's the chance the interaction will keep going that turn

[shrewd gorge]

I’m just confused about what you mean

For example rn can I reset

[split jolt]

N done, next is Blue

[glad acorn]

Yes, there are 3 clickable topics, right?

[shrewd gorge]

Yeah

[slate saddle]

N how do I get hot tpoic

[glad acorn]

Then Yes

[slate saddle]

I'm sorry I'm very confused

[distant ember]

what lethartist means is you can't reset when you see that the topics aren't refreshing and it's about to end

that's all

[glad acorn]

It's not quantum physics

[analog furnace]

Grats on lv100!

[distant ember]

i can't blame not getting what you meant, it's kind of a roundabout way of describing the situation

even though it's straightforward wording

[glad acorn]

Yeah, congrats to the 100. I still got two days ahead of me

[split jolt]

Doing no ring and juice instead now

[slate saddle]

Istg

[analog furnace]

I can do some runs today, but I'm close to another gold present

[split jolt]

2 day got 170+ with 10-11 interaction

[next junco]

Pain gonna take 10 min more for 1 gold blue

[distant ember]

lol

[glad acorn]

Did two times 3x. Neither let me use an item. Then again, I tried to get to 80%

[autumn stone]

https://tenor.com/view/cheers-party-thanks-greatgatsby-leonardo-dicaprio-gif-4931129

gz on 100 guys

[distant ember]

i tend to use items at like anywhere below 89%

even though it's technically a "waste"

of restored attention

[glad acorn]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Not like you don't have enough resources to use them daily

Just cash in for the multiplier

[dense saddle]

Bruh she dropped me at 80%

AND LOOK AT THAT SMUG FACE

[distant ember]

owned

[glad acorn]

that's why I won't do a 6x

[novel root]

I'm done, it's not fair that 6 times in a row I can't get the meter to go below 80% before they drop me

Trying to use silver and gold gifts but never even get the chance, smh

[analog furnace]

You guys go for max vibes on topic 2 or 3?

[distant ember]

while it sucks, your luck with interactions will average out over time

[novel root]

I try for 2

[distant ember]

i pick it if one shows up at 2

[novel root]

No penalty for the second so I get out of max vibes with still 100%

[analog furnace]

Fair enough

[glad acorn]

You have the unfortunate case of getting cut off at 3rd topic if you choose the hot topic but don't get into max vibe

[autumn stone]

1-2

[novel root]

Which is important since after 2 you will go down before max vibes so you always have a chance to be done after max vibes

[distant ember]

i religiously use boost juice now, choosing hot topics and not getting max is awful

[autumn stone]

Yesterday I went up to round 10 w/out hot topic w/feel ring

[novel root]

Which considering the rate it's actually quite likely to be done

[distant ember]

you basically need to always use juice if you want good points daily

[glad acorn]

At least less rng

Since you don't need to reset if max vibe failed

[novel root]

Oh yeah how do you save scum convos?

[analog furnace]

Dropped at 80 At least I got 130

[knotty nymph]

progress on N

[novel root]

[knotty nymph]

will be able to get sigilyph tomorrow

[glad acorn]

You can reset anytime you are presented 3 clickable topics, but never during mid animation

Mid animation = When your choice gets calculated

[analog furnace]

What % do you guys use Gold gifts ftr?

[novel root]

Oof so I can basically change the topic but not the outcome?

[glad acorn]

Anyone stubborn to do so get their interaction for the day voided

Yes, outcome is set in stone if they want to drop you

You can at the very least manipulate so your first 5 topics give the best result etc

[analog furnace]

Maybe 80% for gold gifts?

[novel root]

Well I guess it's not world ending, just feels like I'm being cheated hard

[analog furnace]

I really wanna hit lv100 today but need a banger day

[glad acorn]

If they let you get to 80%

[novel root]

I'd say 80% pretty good

[analog furnace]

I'll go for it

[glad acorn]

Much luck then. Cause I don't have any today

Both batches ended before I could gift

[analog furnace]

Aand he ended at 78

But I got 161x1.5 ig

At this rate, don't think I'll hit lv100

[novel root]

I'd love to tell you to "wait till 70%" but you will go days before going that low because the rates are purposely against you. Easier to think that gold is better silver rather than a huge attention increase

[distant ember]

yippee

[analog furnace]

Ye fair

I actually answered a hot topic right before that and got it to 75%, then saw another hot topic and got tempted if I'm being honest

[shrewd gorge]

I’ll need 14 levels tomorrow to get to level 100, I’ll have to have a perfect day

[analog furnace]

But didn't go for it

[novel root]

Especially since if you got your expedition teams on lock then you shouldn't be having a huge issue with acquiring gold gifts

[distant ember]

tmrw i'll start cynthia for gastrodon

support moment

[winter galleon]

did you exchange lodge stones for the certificates??

[novel root]

The only thing I find disappointing is that this feels so grindy, like we're grasping at straws to juice out a few more points

[glad acorn]

That 6x voided run sure left me in the dust

[carmine sedge]

Yeah, I haven't really bothered over the last few days, but now I'm interested in this content. How do I make interaction last longer?

[distant ember]

yeah! i've gotten 21 certificates total so far from a combination of level up rewards and exchanges (got sycamore to level 100 today)

[novel root]

Gifts, they increase attention back to a max 100%

[tepid stone]

wow some truly terrible runs today

[glad acorn]

Could be worse. They could make it so the levelling is exponential instead of linear

[carmine sedge]

Hmmmmm, even though I have given a gift, the interaction ended quickly

Even at such a high attention level

[novel root]

Oh so don't pay attention to the attention level, if it's not 100% your at high risk of failure

[tepid stone]

uhh I mean do pay attention to the attention level, it's just probabilistic lol

[glad acorn]

I think I need to tell myself it's okay to use the present when the presented topics are not good choices

as in, no hot topics

[novel root]

Basically your going to fail around 80-90% most of the times and every once and a while you will go under 80%

[carmine sedge]

There were some times I got to the 10th topic even with a low attention level

Probably got lucky

[glad acorn]

At the end of the day, it's all rng

[tepid stone]

existence statements are very weak when random processes are involved

[novel root]

Well I'm pretty sure the game is rigged to every once and a while throw you a curveball of getting to really low attention

[tepid stone]

There's no reason to suspect such a thing

[carmine sedge]

Or just ends quickly even with high attention

[analog furnace]

Now he just ended at 87 before I could give a gift

Lv100 dreams out the window

[novel root]

Pretty sure most of us can attest to easily 50% of time failing at upper 80% yet a few times have gotten incredibly low percentages

[carmine sedge]

Sometimes I get max vibes on the first statement, but it resulted in the reaction ending quickly

[novel root]

Which although evens out the average is also not at all true random like it implies

So basically the two items you'd want is boost juice and the glasses so you know what the topic is and that when you hit a topic answer you get instant max vibes. Max vibes has to finish before you get booted

[tepid stone]

True random doesn't mean uniform... this isn't a uniform process, since there are repeated samples at different probabilities, and the process ends in a specific outcome

[lost pumice]

Soon

[crisp hornet]

Today i learned you can get Marnie and N from Cynthia's banner

[lost pumice]

Lmao

[analog furnace]

Just gonna wait to get another gold gift

Though I think the only way of getting 11+ levels is getting insane RNG on all 3 runs

[tepid stone]

To get the probability of not failing before a certain attention level, given for the sake of simplicity a fixed sequence of hot topic / non-hot topic choices, you need to multiply the attention levels you reach at each step up to then

[carmine sedge]

How do you balance out the 2 exploration teams, one team for the 2 materials and the other for the other 2 materials?

[tepid stone]

I'm sure with a large enough sample size you'll find that the fraction of attempts that fail before 80% is very close to the expected value

which is, just to reiterate, NOT 20%

[tepid stone]

I've been doing both teams with lv 10 rare chests + lv 10 something else, where the something else varies depending on which color I need more

[slate saddle]

How do u get max vibes?

[analog furnace]

To a degree how most do it, I suppose
You likely want more of whatever resource you’re using to exchange for relevant gifts, as well
I want Red for my gifts, so I have more Red than Yellow or Blue

[carmine sedge]

I'm doing May first so I need Soothing Crystals as much as possible

But I guess balancing it works too

[analog furnace]

Mine’s not ideal, but I do 1/4/4/9 (2/5/5/10 on cheer) + 10/1/1/10 (10/2/2/10 on cheer)

[tepid stone]

Keep in mind that 4 of the 9 current people in the lounge are strikers who need fiery crystals (and they happen to give some of the most useful lounge units), so you probably want to build fieries up while doing your soothings

[lethal marsh]

which unit are you targeting

[analog furnace]

N

[glad acorn]

Choose the hot topic

[tepid stone]

I do 10/1/1/10 & 1/10/1/10 while not on cheer, and when I feel like it will switch to different teams with 9/7/2/10 and 10/2/7/9 on cheer

[lethal marsh]

so are you able to buy all the gifts and things every day with your combo?

[slate saddle]

Thx

[tepid stone]

lately I've been too lazy to switch though

[lethal marsh]

like those glasses and all

[slate saddle]

But where are the hot topics given

Serbii?

[analog furnace]

Yep

I just buy them all

[lethal marsh]

N is a striker?

[analog furnace]

Yes

He wants Fiery

[glad acorn]

4 strike, 2 tech, 3 support for this batch

[analog furnace]

So I buy Silver & a few Gold gifts

[carmine sedge]

Is max vibes actually possible on the 1st statement?

[glad acorn]

Yes but not recommended

[carmine sedge]

That's why

[lethal marsh]

not just gifts I meant glasses boost juice shovels etc

[winter galleon]

how much are the dupes for lodge pairs?

[analog furnace]

I said yep, I buy all of them

[crisp hornet]

WAIT THE CRYSTALS ARE ROLE DEPENDANT ???

[lethal marsh]

okay so if I just focus on support and chests I can buy all the things too?

my target is blue

[glad acorn]

Always have been

[analog furnace]

You prob want a mix of the others as well

Focusing blue & chest is also difficult

Really difficult

[wide sorrel]

6x alway so satisfying

[lethal marsh]

oh

bleh

[analog furnace]

I mean actually, it’s not that bad

[glad acorn]

Can also be grating when you get the 95%'d

[lethal marsh]

I should just use the normal teams then

[carmine sedge]

Best I can do is 170+

[lethal marsh]

one for red chest one for blue yellow

[carmine sedge]

Ugh

[analog furnace]

You can find a team for blue & smth else but you won’t have double chest

[lethal marsh]

ok

[analog furnace]

If you’re cool with that, yeah, just check the doc or smth

In pins

[autumn stone]

Same I'm going for blue next, doing 10/10 fiery/cache 10/9-9/10 w/out cheer

[wide sorrel]

That only happens 1 out of ever 20 6x tho

[urban flicker]

81 to 94

Lv100 guaranteed tomorrow

[autumn stone]

noice

[glad acorn]

Still too common else we wouldn't be complaining

[split jolt]

What's the best use of lodgestone?

[analog furnace]

Wait, 10/9/9/10 without cheer?

[urban flicker]

certificate of excellence from the shop

[analog furnace]

Worded a bit confusingly, sorry

[carmine sedge]

I have one team with 7/7/1/1 and the other is 2/2/8/8, how does that sound with only 4 units?

[wide sorrel]

Well even a 95% is 100 points so I don’t even mind

[analog furnace]

Can you rephrase if you don’t mind

[split jolt]

Wonder if certificate is better than the pair copy which cost 500 lodge stone each

[lethal marsh]

did you start 6 interactions from day 1?

[autumn stone]

I'm running fiery and catch both expo team 10/9 9/10

[urban flicker]

No, when Lodge was first released I was doing 1 by 1 interaction

[lethal marsh]

no i mean

did you buy

extra three

from day 1

[urban flicker]

Ah

[analog furnace]

Catch = chest/rare?

[urban flicker]

No, cause I couldn't afford it

[carmine sedge]

I haven't done Lodge over the past few days until now

[autumn stone]

yep cache sorry lmao

[urban flicker]

I was more focused on the expedition slot rather then interaction at that time

[lethal marsh]

hm ok
