Trainer Lodge

[void lintel]

Looks like the... Old Charm might be Cynthia's other decoration? I wondered if it's been seen on those two people who strongly resemble her in Pokémon Legends, but they... wear teardrop accessories like her. And not a magatama like the Old Charm in the picture.
Maybe it's from somewhere else?

Oh. Okay then.

[frank pelican]

Nvm had to update game

[brave gulch]

Yeah it's unfortunate she didn't get mg4... but at least the grid I made doesn't need changes

[unique ledge]

Ye I dont have cynthia and it says the old charm is hers I think

[golden skiff]

[tired furnace]

I don't even have enough crystals for any of the decorations 😦

[unique ledge]

I bought 3 pieces of art, 3 plushies, 3 items and basically have nothing left

[thick widget]

Should raise the cap of these mats to 999999

[unique ledge]

9,999,99
9*

[quasi sigil]

No but really

If they want to make decor so expensive, at least raise the cap

[sharp bramble]

Or at least let me convert my lower ranks to higher rank mats

[severe river]

Can you put scrapbook photos in the artwork frames rn?

[sharp bramble]

Yes

Also as loading screens

You can have more than 1 loading screen up too

[severe river]

Ah for some reason i couldn’t on the ones on the side

It only lets you use the 3000s artwork on the side panel

[void lintel]

Yeah, the side panel is smaller so it only fits the smaller ones

[severe river]

I see

[void lintel]

It's why you can buy three copies of the small ones but only two copies of the tall posters

[severe river]

Wait, does the lodge person always block the image on the right side of the middle

[pastel swallow]

when is gloria coming to lodge?

[severe river]

30th iirc

Ah sorry, its march 1st

[pastel swallow]

gotcha

[coral merlin]

Hopefully I get better luck. Morty gave me horrible luck.

For raising to 100 I meant

[unique ledge]

Unfortunately dont have gloria but ig I get to do cynthia this month

[quasi sigil]

for once, i have the limited unit that's coming for lodge! thankfully I picked Gloria from the anime select last year

[unique ledge]

I picked alder, maybe he or some limited unit I have will come

I only have raihan and marnie from the limiteds and got both on their lodge banners, but now I can get a free cynthia

Hoping N or Gloria is on a banner w smb else I want

[quasi sigil]

so far I have N and Gloria only

[thick widget]

im gonna choose Cynthia in the champion select

another 20 scource

[quasi sigil]

i'm gonna pick cynthia too

finally I can get the queen, her lodge unit, and jukebox song from EX

[thick widget]

for me she will stuck at 1/5 until i have a pity for lodge banner

[spiral cosmos]

I’m picking Cynthia too. Candy and EX resources are ready

[quasi sigil]

I'm ready to 3/5 her

[night tide]

I’m picking CIris so no new lodge pair for me

(Outside of gloria hype!)

[severe river]

Maybe Diantha will get a lodge alt soon

[night tide]

Dena plz

[thick widget]

Please a boy next next month

[plain nova]

steven then, he's due

need his expanded grid too so i can pick another copy of him

[thick widget]

My hopium is Lodge Victor since its a high chance that a spring alt with Cinderace happens in April

[plain nova]

i don't have og victor, he's recent too

[thick widget]

He was released last October right?

[night tide]

Ye

[thick widget]

6 months arent too recent imo

[night tide]

Aksually it’s been 4

[hollow kiln]

Decorating your lodge reminds me of secret bases back in Ruby Sapphire

[thick widget]

Gakon cant do math smh

[long nymph]

Maybe steven, cradily just added in this datamine

A wild cradily appears

[thick widget]

Oh yeah i didnt notice that!

or Shauna & Goodra copium

[quasi sigil]

lodge Steven and Cradily copium

But if steven comes to lodge next month, it'll be unfair for those who don't have him nor Gloria

[thick widget]

Lodge Wally

[quasi sigil]

[jolly cove]

I'm surprised steven is not on lodge yet

[sinful ridge]

400 levels to go.

[vestal kraken]

Yeah Steven being absent is a huge surprise.

Since isn't he very popular?

[unique ledge]

Do we know who goodra is for?

And hypno/electrode r just eggmons or?

[void lintel]

No pair was announced with Goodra

Could just be for enemy trainers

[unique ledge]

I kind of expected him since kanto hoenn and alola (we r very close to the VA tho I think) r the only regions with 1 pair in lodge

[void lintel]

We also possibly might not have all of next month's info. Sometimes they split up anni and half-anni month info into two updates just to give us a surprise

[unique ledge]

But we know stuff until atleast the 27th?

I thought if they split up the update we’d only know up until like half the month

[thick widget]

According to Voltage we are missing a few images for this month events so its possible to have a mid month update

[unique ledge]

Ah ok, what else r we missing besides the pmd image tho?

[thick widget]

Anni Skyla rerun

Idk

[unique ledge]

I hope not, I dont have the gems rn

[celest swallow]

Oh hey, managed to get a 0% with Rosa.

[celest swallow]

Shauna or Diantha with Goodra, please...

Gloria just broke the "one newcomer per region before looping" pattern, so um, we don't know about who's next.
Steven is 100% the second Hoenn character to join, so it's a matter of when.
I'd rather see Shauna get a second Pokemon than Diantha, but eh...

[void lintel]

It's kinda hard to tell what else. It's missing, so we don't know what it is.

[severe river]

Goodra is too important to be a lodge alt

[halcyon plume]

Managed to 0% attention. Nice

[severe river]

That sounds funny out of context

[halcyon plume]

[shell solstice]

Can anyone help explain how to save up 10 interactions?

[severe river]

So you’d do multiple interactions and start an interaction, then quit the game

The next day, you’ll get the 3 interactions for reset and get the multiple interactions refunded to you

[sharp solar]

Use one for dailies, start 5x interaction before reset, quit the game, return after reset, you'll have 8 interactions

[severe river]

Just make sure you always do 1 interaction per day for the daily mission

[sharp solar]

-> buy 2 more from shop

[shell solstice]

Ooh so get refund next day, got it

[unique ledge]

Is there any point in doing it tho?

[shell solstice]

So next day we can do a total of 5+6 interactions right?

[shell solstice]

Helps getting a new released unit faster

[unique ledge]

Oh

Dont u lose out on interactions tho

[sharp solar]

You don't if you do it correctly

[severe river]

No, since you still get the 3 from reset

[sharp solar]

It doesn't change the number of interactions you do

[severe river]

Since the game thinks you have 0 interactions at reset; it only refunds the multiple after you go in to TL

[unique ledge]

It uses one and leaves the other 5 right? But can u still login after to claim ur 80 gems?

[shell solstice]

Is 10 the max number we can do for once?

[severe river]

It only refunds the interactions when you enter tl

[unique ledge]

Oh ok

[sharp solar]

10 is the max number you can have at once

[severe river]

If you do 1, then a 5 and reset, you can go back into the PMC to claim the mission

[unique ledge]

Good to know incase I have multiple chars to do in a month ig

[sharp solar]

It only gives you like 5 interaction headstart per month

Less than a day worth

[unique ledge]

So do one interaction, use all interactions after, close the game when it starts, re open and dont go into tl until reset?

[sharp solar]

You can just not open the game until reset happens

[severe river]

Pretty much

[unique ledge]

Tru, still smth tho

[unique ledge]

To claim ur dailies

[sharp solar]

Think about it again

You do one interaction for the dailies, what next?

You can just go and grab the rewards

[robust warren]

has anyone datamined the new pair's expedition skills

all 5 preferably

tyty

[unique ledge]

Np

[void lintel]

Less than a day? I can carry over 7 interactions and start the month with 10 (+3 in shop). Just need to do the carryover twice.

Also need the correct date this time. But in this case it doesn't matter because I don't have Gloria

[sharp solar]

Oh, right. Slightly more than a day worth then

[void lintel]

Yeah, I just want the Friendship100 pair ASAP so it stops bothering me

[void lintel]

Oh, now these Neochamps have the Champion color spread

[lucid gulch]

No rare ↑ sad

At least they are +3 -1 units

[zinc halo]

My love is real

[severe river]

4/5 backgrounds are so pretty

[zinc halo]

True 😬 I do have the others but I don’t like how it looks, takes too much space

Like wtf is this 😂

[void lintel]

It took me a while to even parse Kyurem's pose, there

It's almost like N is throwing a tiny Kyurem at the camera

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/036/353/cover5.jpg

[zinc halo]

LMAO yesss HAHA

[mighty zealot]

Are Gloria answers known already?

[void lintel]

Hm, they are probably in the datamine

Did Absol post them?

[sonic stream]

Gloria makes the 9th female plush next month so the 3x3 in TL fits them perfectly

[coral merlin]

Im only missing gordie

[void lintel]

Today I decided to see whether he has "added to a team" voiceclips with his mother
Turns out he does. Adding Melony to a team with Gordie on it, she encourages him to show his power.
If you do it in the opposite order and add Gordie to a team with Melony on it, he announces that the ice age is over...

Yeesh, dude

[late sluice]

Theres one for victory too

She says "You're facing the wrong way dear!"

[void lintel]

Okay, that is funny

[unique ledge]

Well according to his sync pair story he became a rock type gym leader just cuz melony was an ice gym leader so

[void lintel]

I know that but Melony's trying to be nice to him but he's still being an ass to her

[ashen wasp]

she's never been "mean" to him

[void lintel]

Teenage rebellious phase?

[ashen wasp]

and he has always been that rebellious jackass

[void lintel]

Is he even still a teenager, actually

[ashen wasp]

doesn't look like one to me in the slightest

[void lintel]

Soooo yeah, oof

[night tide]

I thought that he was mellonys significant other

[void lintel]

She just aged really well, I guess

[bleak lotus]

Who knows with Pokemon. Ages are wack in this game

[severe river]

He’s probably in his early 20s or smth

Considering he has a fanbase?

[void lintel]

Maybe the devs just don't realize that only Asians tend to age this well

[bleak lotus]

Yeah it would make sense that he’s a young adult basically

[severe river]

Isn’t she the head of his fan club?

[void lintel]

Is she? That sounds potentially hilarious

[bleak lotus]

Surely around the same age as Leon. Sonia and Nessa for example

[severe river]

The founder at least

[ashen wasp]

from her rare card in Sw&Sh btw

so it's as official as it can get lol

[bleak lotus]

That’s really cute tbh

[severe river]

Is there a way to get her cards in sword?

[bleak lotus]

I don’t think so since u can’t get her normal card in Sword either

At least I don’t have it

[severe river]

Like can you use the card sharing feature on npcs

[void lintel]

("Mum, you're embarrassing me!")

[vast aspen]

What do i get for buying 2 of the same artwork?

[late sluice]

to display it twice

[void lintel]

There are three posterboards in the lodge. Two tall ones by the expedition terminal, and a smaller one (which can only fit the smaller 3000 series of illustrations) on the left.

So you're allowed to buy up to two of each tall one and three of each smaller one, since that's the number you can possibly display at once with the three available posterboards

[vast aspen]

Welp i bought 2 of the same accidentally then

But still intend to stock out the things in redecorate exchange

[worldly ivy]

at least u have unlimited of the story snapshots

[vestal kraken]

Gloria will use red items right?

[late sluice]

As strikers do, yes

[vestal kraken]

Thanks

It's crazy how many we have that need red items.

[hollow kiln]

I’m going to do Morty first before Gloria

[swift vine]

[zenith niche]

Nice 200

[sharp bramble]

What diabolical plots are they hatching

[halcyon plume]

pick it up and see XD

[celest swallow]

Maybe I'm at fault for my exploration team, but farming for crystals is kinda unfun.
I don't wanna pay for any decorating stuff, as awesome as that stuff is, for that reason. I don't think I can afford it while using them for gifts and interaction items.

[quasi sigil]

I'm the other way around. I'm not in a hurry to get the new lodge pair. I unlock a new pair in roughly 2 weeks anyway, it won't hurt if I don't buy gold gifts for them

Gloria's gifts can wait, I need to buy 9 Blue and Silver plushies

[thick widget]

I always buy silver gifts, tho i do buy 10 gold gifts on the first day of a new lodge pair

[solar forge]

can someone show me the look of both noble style and natural syle in the lodge?

to see which one to buy plz

[void lintel]

I get more crystals than I can use, so maybe it is your expedition teams after all

[unique ledge]

Blue I struggle w but I think I was fine w yellow and ~50k for red silver

After lodge decorations I have basically nothing

[void lintel]

Shauna is in the general pool now... Maybe I'll be able to get her from the upcoming Master Fairs. That'd allow me to finally make a 10blue/10cache team

[celest swallow]

I have one team with 10 points for treasure.

I tried to go for a "one team for two of the four elements" logic.

[sharp solar]

Why is your rare cache team in slot A?

You're on 9 cache without a cheer, that's more than half the time

[celest swallow]

I don't know, really.

Treasures good, I guess?

[void lintel]

It's best to have two teams stack treasure, since treasure is so important

Here's mine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012298913279127582/1026203774085251122/Screenshot_20221002-144530.png

If you don't have SS Lusamine, you can swap her for regular Lusamine and use the treasure potion instead

[celest swallow]

I see then.
I don't have that Cynthia either, though.

[void lintel]

Doesn't need to be.

It can just be any off-region +3blue

If you have Shauna, you put her in that slot and the team becomes even better

[celest swallow]

So I basically need to get 10 on treasure both teams?

[void lintel]

Ideally. Treasures are the only source of the tier4 stones

10color + 10treasure on each team

And adjust the colors according to whom you're befriending

[vestal kraken]

Do we know how many 10 point topics Gloria has?

[severe river]

Is poma tools updated?

[ashen wasp]

yes

funny, she has 7 +10 topics in Places lol

[void lintel]

The sun never sets on the British Galar Empire

[golden pasture]

What's an expiration team?

[sharp solar]

Exploration team. You deploy units to get free resources.

Check pins for more info

[vestal kraken]

That's a lot

[void lintel]

21 non-locational 10pointers, and 23 if you're at the Lodge, the Gate, or the Villa

Two 10pointers in Pokémon
Five in Items
Four in-- uh. This info seems incomplete, there are only six topics in Friends when each category should have seven

I'm not miscounting, am I? Tell me you're seeing this too

Pokémon also seems to only have six non-locational topics?

Oh, no, wait, I didn't spot Ho-oh in that jumble of locational ones. Seven it is

All other categories have seven topics, so it's just one Friends topic missing

[wooden marsh]

Victor should be the 7th one according to the datamine

[void lintel]

Found it in Absol's pastebi--

[void lintel]

Orrr I could have just sat back and let you find it

Ah well

Someone notify the Pomatools people, then

Two 10pointers in Pokémon
Five in Items
Five in Friends
Three in Hobbies (four at the Gate)
Three in Fashion
Three in Places (four at the Gate, five at the Lodge)
One in Other (three at the Villa)

[wooden marsh]

Alright, @viscid meteor Victor is missing

[viscid meteor]

people...

I'm just one person hah

[severe river]

You’d expect that for a tool as useful as pomatools that it’d have some big team

[golden pasture]

How exactly would I get started with lodge?

To boost my resource acquisition

[severe river]

Oh, so you basically need to go to the expeditions and unlock more slots as soon as possible

The extra slots take the Crystals with the green background i think, so you want to make teams with the highest Chest Level at first

[night tide]

He’s got mallow anyways

[void lintel]

Remember that Team A and Team B aren't two "loadouts," they're two separate squads collecting loot at the same time. Fill them both!

[severe river]

There are teams in the pins for teams with only 3 team slots

[void lintel]

I thought it was the rarities except for that?

[severe river]

Uhh

Maybe

[void lintel]

I can't exactly check though since they're not in my shop anymore...

[severe river]

That does ring a bell actually

And i think i did remember using mixed teams

[void lintel]

(oh, and, both teams gain an extra slot when you buy the slot upgrades)

(you don't have to buy them twice for two teams)

[golden pasture]

Do I just look for higher numbers?

[severe river]

Wait can you just go to the shop in lodge and go to the Expeditions section

[sharp solar]

[golden pasture]

This?

??

[severe river]

Oh yes that

[golden pasture]

Huh

Sorry double send

[severe river]

So you’d want to make some teams that gather all those resources to buy those slots

There are examples in the pins, but i think optimize tries to balance them out?

So basically get teams that have a level of 7 or higher for Red, Yellow, and Blue resources

[golden pasture]

Ah

So no chest

[void lintel]

You can use sort and filter to help you find the higher numbers

The ones that display a range instead of a fixed number, are ones that have theme-based team requirements

[severe river]

Once you get all 6 slots, try to get a level 10 in chest and the highest level possible in the colour corresponding to whichever trainer you’re befriending

[void lintel]

Like, you see SSLeaf's "1-6" range? She gives 1 yellow per Kanto-theme sync pair in her team

(including herself)

May's 0-4 yellow is... she gives nothing unless there are three Hoenn-theme trainers on the team (including herself)

Once you have 6 slots per team, try to build your teams around theme-bonuses like that

Teambuilding is really awkward until you have more slots... Try not to get discouraged

[golden pasture]

Oh

That makes more sense

I was wondering why when I used her, she only did 1

Also where would I go to do the gem stufg

[sharp solar]

You get gems only from General missions related to lodge. Just do your interactions.

[golden pasture]

Is there a way to max out the amount of points from interactions.

[severe river]

Wait, which trainer are you interacting with first?

[quasi sigil]

there's an interaction strategy on pins

[severe river]

Is there actually a strategy tho? Unless it’s in a link, cuz all i see is the information on how they work, but not how to utilize it

[golden pasture]

How would I buy more interactions?

[severe river]

Oh uh, with the crystals from chests :p

[quasi sigil]

this is the closest get to strategies

[golden pasture]

Oop

Yay morty is lvl 4

[vestal kraken]

So she has a lot of 10 points

[thick widget]

96 more levels to go

[void lintel]

More than average, I think

[brave gulch]

Gloria has a good spread of 10 points huh

👀

[void lintel]

Makes me more annoyed that they keep putting her on banners I don't want to pull on

Up until next month, every time Gloria or Marnie had a rerun, they were only accompanied by pairs I already had

Technically they're going to be on a banner together next month. As the Monthly Lodge Fair banner.
But that's not a whole lot different than it just being a Gloria solo banner

[brave gulch]

Well anni raihan is with red and Lucas both which I alr have 3/5

It is a great banner but I'm really not tempted because 2/3 are 3/5 for me alr

[mortal shard]

Credits to Zamcio for the infographs https://twitter.com/zamcio/

[void lintel]

I might pull on the Anni Raihan banner. He and Lucas are 0/5 for me, and Redlax is "only" 2/5

I'm not sure what I'll do if a third Redlax drops on my first multi...

Because something like that happened before.

Cynthia+Lance+Steven banner. I had all three, but wanted dupes of Steven and Lance.

Long story short, I now have 5/5 Cynthia and still 1/5 Steven and Lance...

At least I can actually enjoy Cynthia's 5/5 nodes

And give her the Garchomp photo frame in the Lodge

[brave gulch]

3/5 redlax u get potion stuff

[vestal kraken]

She seems to be one of the highest ones if I'm not mistaken, probably up there with Marnie.

[void lintel]

Worst to best...
Blue: 18 in the Lodge
Silver: 18 in the Villa
N: 18 in the Lodge
Elesa: 18 at the Gate or Lodge
Lillie: 20 in the Lodge
Dawn: 20 in the Lodge
Rosa: 21 in the Lodge
May: 21 on the Road, 22 in the Lodge
Serena: 21 in the Lodge or Villa
Cynthia: 22 in the Lodge
Raihan: 22 in the Villa
Sycamore: 22 in the Lodge
Gloria: 23 at the Gate, Villa, or Lodge
Marnie: 28 in the Lodge

Second-highest

Still well short of Marnie's insane 28

[brave gulch]

Wait

Where's morty

[severe river]

He got taken by a ghost friend

[mortal shard]

Credits to Zamcio for the infographs https://twitter.com/zamcio/

Damn that's a rocky start +_+

[random portal]

already got her to level 33

[glad acorn]

Keep 'em coming, and I won't be mad about those 95% drops

[viscid meteor]

found why I didn't have Victor on the topics

most of the time, they add the new topics at the end

Victor was in between past topics

[quasi sigil]

[shadow bramble]

I got Cynthia today, should I start with her or wait for Gloria

My mats, if that's important

[void lintel]

Both use red because both are Strikers

[unique ledge]

Might as well start

Gloria wont be here for 2 more resets I think

[vestal kraken]

Not sure if this is new, but Lucario users together.

[void lintel]

I like those "let's compare our two mons of the same species" ones

[coral merlin]

I like Lucario users

[viscid meteor]

Blonde trainers tend to have a Lucario huh

[void lintel]

...I may have a bad memory but I thought Riley wasn't blond

[vestal kraken]

Yeah he has black hair, and we need Riley so we can run a team of 3 Lucario.

[void lintel]

[grizzled pagoda]

U guys think iris will ever get added to the lodge?

[sharp solar]

It's possible, but up to dena, like any pair.

[quasi sigil]

she's Unova, she has a good chance

also since base Iris is free, I do hope she comes to lodge. we need more free pairs in lodge

[glad acorn]

More likely than Alder

[stiff nacelle]

is there a specific channel we use to ask questions about expeditions or just drop it in here

because while this might be my 4 am brain, I feel like I’m going crazy, why does this team have lvl 10 rare box?? 3+2+2 is 7, + 1 +1 from extract and cheer should be 9, so why is it 10?? where is the +1 coming from?

I know this is going to be something silly but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is rn

[thick widget]

Team B has innate +1 level on blue and chest

And Team A has innate +1 on red and yellow

[stiff nacelle]

omg thank you

Is that explained anywhere or just something figured out because of the math not adding up?

[thick widget]

The game literally tells you that

If you remove all members in a team, you will see the bonus

[grizzled pagoda]

Yo I just noticing new trainer lodge music, when was that added?

[thick widget]

This update

[void lintel]

Trainer Lodge shifted to Spring mode, yeah

[grizzled pagoda]

Ah

[still finch]

Do we have one of those nice graphics for topics for Gloria yet? Forgive me if this has been asked already

[void lintel]

I don't see one from Zamcio's twitter (the one who creates them)

As a stopgap, here's the Pomatools page for her lodge topics

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/024300

Best locations are the Lodge, the Gate, and the Villa

[coral merlin]

Imagine we have the ability to change our lodge units uniforms only in the trainer lodge, OG Cynthia to SSA Cynthia, OG N to Summer N etc.

[void lintel]

Are you just saying that because you want Marnie and Gloria to chill in the Lodge wearing their beachwear

[coral merlin]

No.

[sharp bramble]

2 new ones for me

Colress when you gonna come home to daddy

[quasi sigil]

imagine if we don't have to own the base unit to interact with them in lodge

type /lodge Dawn here or in #bot-zone

[sturdy ginkgo]

thanks 🫡

[lusty hill]

Failed🤣

[thick widget]

GLoria doesnt have infographic yet

[lusty hill]

Ahh well, off to lodge we go😆

[brisk palm]

I see thanks

[quasi sigil]

This is what happens when I buy way too many lodge decorations

[amber sorrel]

is there a gloria template already?

[thick widget]

not yet

at the moment visit pomatools site

[amber sorrel]

thank you

[keen stump]

Wtf is this

[quasi sigil]

a bonus event

just a random event that can pop up in your expedition areas occasionally and gives you an extra pokeball that you can pick up

[keen stump]

I know i mean with what is happening

[quasi sigil]

fan meeting

wallace is a top coordinator after all

[orchid glade]

Its annoying they only added Gloria and no general pairs for people who don't have her so another month of Morty

[quasi sigil]

it should've been Hop in lodge so we get another free galar pair

dena sure is allergic to giving us more free galar pairs

[shut lagoon]

What was she cooking?

[unique ledge]

I only use the gold ones 1-2 times when maxing a char personally

[void lintel]

I thought it was weird for Galar (UK) to cook curry, but then I remembered actual English cuisine is the butt of so many jokes that maybe it's for the best for them to cook Indian food instead

[dusky finch]

It would've worked better if Galar got Paldea's cooking minigame, we love putting all sorts of stuff between two slices of bread

[robust warren]

we got the exact same first interaction??

these screenshots are almost identical but i have a smaller phone 😅

[void lintel]

Zamcio must be busy lately

In the meantime, here's a link to the Pomatools page for people who need it

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/024300

You can press the Change button to, er... change... the sorting method.

[brave gulch]

Is there team A 10 blue 10 chest team

[void lintel]

I don't think so.

Unless you want to include Cheer, perhaps

Trying to double up on blue crystals?

[brave gulch]

Yeah

really need those dawn plushies

[void lintel]

Hm... Right, maybe you're after decorations for the--

Ayup.

Is it weird that these are clearly commercially-made judging by the little label tag

[brave gulch]

[void lintel]

Like, if you look at the generic plushies on the table in the lodge, they all have the same tag

I kinda wish I could show Silver his own commercially-made plushie just to see how he'd react

[brave gulch]

Hmm wistful extract adds 2

I guess I have to somehow hit 7 and 9 for cheer to reach 10

Guess the best I can hit is 5 and 9

[void lintel]

Blue + cache is hard to build for; there aren't any +3 cache units that don't bite blue (because none of them are Supports yet)

[brave gulch]

Yeah

It's pretty bad

But I'm still going for it since I need tons of blue

Still need a dawn hat + 5 more plushie

[plain nova]

also use bot channel people

[keen summit]

Day 2 of Gloria dipping at 80%

[shut flint]

love having the interaction end at 91%

[lucid gulch]

Sad that the unit with the most gold topics is still Marnie (the only lodge unit that I'm missing)

[void lintel]

I keep hoping Marnie reruns on a banner with other Galar pairs I'm missing (including, yes, Gloria)
She has not. Every time up until now, all her banner partners are ones I already had, and this time she's rerunning solo

It's making the monthly lodge banner look actually a little appealing, as it's the first time I think I've ever seen Gloria/Zamcian and Marnie/Morpeko on the same banner, even if Marnie has a miserably low droprate

[lucid gulch]

Probably i will wait for something like Lucas in lodge so i may end up pitying for her if i get Lucas close to scout points

Good thing is that even with 0.01% you can still pity her if you already got the featured unit

The saddest thing would be to have to pity the featured and skip Marnie

[void lintel]

Yeah oof

[lucid gulch]

If it wasn't for lodge, i wouldn't mind much missing morpeko

[plain nova]

I had to pity her in the blue lysandre banner and that almost cost me the frogs the fomo is real

And now I’m trying to see what og units i don’t have and save for them in case their lodge version drop

[void lintel]

There's finally a banner in the datamine with more than one Fair pair I don't have in it: AnniRaihan, Redlax, and Lucas. I have Redlax 2/5, but I don't have the other two.
I'm gonna want Lucas for Dragon Zone anyway, but he's also a fairly plausible Lodge Guest

The problem is whether I'll have the gems for it after the three Master Fairs and possibly the Lati@s banner

[plain nova]

I want redlax too but there are too many banners so I’ll just daily and hope for the best

Idk if they count him or ssred as the original for lodge pair

[mortal shard]

:warning: | Trainer with that name isn't registered.

[mighty zealot]

while waiting for the upload

I will try to book more free time for the next datamine so it's ready for the release sorry guys

[void lintel]

Thanks!

And ayup, there it is in the pinned post. Excellent.

[celest swallow]

Right now, I'd need to even out my numbers for tier 3 stones.

Tier 1 are all full.
Tiers 2 and 3 are more of an issue. I'm behind for tier 2 for Strikers and Supports, while tier 3 are more evenly spread out, but are low numbers, hence why I shouldn't spend much on decorating
Tier 4 are all at 950 at worst.

So I have one team focused on Strikers and one for Supports, on top of full treasure chest.

Also, I should be able to start on Gloria on Saturday, after I get May to 150.

[void lintel]

...Why do you need to even out your numbers for tier3 stones if you're after decorations?

There are more decorations that cost red stones than there are for the other two colors

Since the trainer-related ones use the same color stones as the trainer theirself

And most of them are Strikers (red stones)

[mighty zealot]

Flying Type Gloria Alt?

[celest swallow]

I'm not even after decorations, I just need more stones as a whole.

[void lintel]

To spend on what? Currency is worthless until it's spent

[north moat]

Especially if its currency that’s only used in one section

[celest swallow]

On gifts, and then maybe on decorations at a Slugma pace.

[void lintel]

Then yeah, you don't need them evened out because there isn't an even distribution of colors among guests

The majority are still red

[quasi sigil]

screaming crying frantically farming red crystals because I need gifts for Gloria and my newly acquired Cynthia and I want to buy Blue, N, and Silver plushies

[thick widget]

[void lintel]

Yeah, exactly

My favorite color is red and all, but yike

[pallid ruin]

i have 99999 small red shards

im tired of managing my lodge already

[wide tiger]

xD

honestly, i dont hit 99999 strike small shards anymore

its like at the low 30k

especially since you can design your lodge

so

pretty ❤️

3rd day with her

[sharp bramble]

I’LL TAKE IT TO MY GRAVE WOMAN

[plain nova]

28+17+17 3 good days in a row

[void lintel]

||The secret is that you don't have the gift of prophecy, you just read ahead in the Sacred Tome||

[sharp bramble]

LMAO excellent reference

[halcyon plume]

...

do you just 5/5 all the lodge units you can get?

[thick widget]

For supports, no

4* support candies are rare

And not worth spending lodge stones on 4* support dupes

Not to mention that supports dont need to do dmg so the BP increase doesnt matter

[void lintel]

You just want 3/5 for the grids

[halcyon plume]

all of them?

[void lintel]

I would.

Two 3/5s are the same cost as one 5/5 (two candies for two characters, vs four candies for one character) but you get way more out of having two 3/5s

Some of them are more important/useful than others, of course

[thick widget]

For dmg dealers the BP increase is a nice bonus, but if you are low on candies and lodge stones, better stop at 3/5

[void lintel]

Especially since story pairs and BP pairs will also want your candies

Like, I'd rather have 3/5 Koga than 3/5 Lodge May

(Though that one's kind of extreme, as Koga's awesome for an uncommon type and Lodge May is worse than regular May)

[thick widget]

They use different candies tho

[void lintel]

I briefly forgot Wailmer is technically a Striker

tfw I pick "one of the Water lodge pairs" and it's the only one that isn't a Tech

[thick widget]

[void lintel]

So instead it's more like...
I'd rather have 3/5 BP Sophocles than 3/5 Lodge May,
and/or I'd rather have 3/5 Koga than 3/5 Lodge Rosa

[compact kettle]

i wish you could get more lodge interactions instead of just the daily max of 6 :(

[void lintel]

As long as I can still use them all in one go, I'm fine with that idea. But at that point it's still up to How quickly they want to let us progress FriendLvs

[sonic stream]

@carmine sedge I'm guessing you had more than 6 the first day because 19 average for 3 days would be nuts

[sonic stream]

I always treat it like this for BP or regular units. I don't think I 5/5'd anything with 3 or 4* candies

[keen stump]

where do i find trainer lodge stuff

[ashen wasp]

have you tried... idk, the pins?

it's no different in this forum

[pallid ruin]

It says 10 5 5 but dunno what comps can achieve optimal treasure levels

[void lintel]

There's a spreadsheet full of team recommendations in one of the pins, I think

Rather, a link to it.

[carmine sedge]

I got a good 8 interactions on Gloria on the 1st day

[night tide]

Wth

[void lintel]

It had to happen eventually

oops

[spiral cosmos]

cynthia has been giving me the silent treatment for a few days

[void lintel]

Foreshadowing Red's eventual arrival, no doubt

[quasi sigil]

[spiral cosmos]

[pearl hull]

the one who is truly silent is mc so its definitely mc and not red

i mean blud doesnt even have a va

imagine talking to yourself in lodge!!!

[unique ledge]

If red gets added to lodge maybe they’ll be able to communicate bcz both understand silence

It’ll prob be like “…. (Let’s talk again tomorrow)” or wtvr chars say after leaving u at 90% 26 days in a row

[carmine sedge]

She training them how to speak to the manager

Goddamnit, Gloria dropped me just when I was about to gift her

I got another artwork one of my favorite pokemas moments

I've been dropped before I could gift for I think about a week now

The last time it got to this many days in a row was aaages ago

[night tide]

Oh my gosh

This is the 4th time

She’s down this

[analog furnace]

Yep, it sucks Wish you better luck as well

You as well

[night tide]

How did this happen

You still have a lot of blue, so I guess see if you can level some Supports next...

I want to buy Gloria plushie now, but I still have Cynthia left to interact with

Everyone but Gloria maxed

Moon Ball Replica. Like the replicas we can get for the Lodge display shelves

[severe river]

[void lintel]

So if someone has rampant waifu-ism, they can have four plushies with corresponding replicas, surrounding the Love Ball in the center

[severe river]

Moon Ball with Lillie

[void lintel]

If indeed these are the same kind of replica of course

[void lintel]

If it's just Lillie, you can have four copies of her plushie and four Poké Dolls around it, yeah

There are currently nine female Lodge Guests, so it's already possible to just have a plushie harem

There are only six male ones, so the reverse plushie harem would need three slots padded in with other items...

[severe river]

Besides, both Lillie and N are my faves so i need balance

Which poke ball fits N… is there a dream ball replica?

[thick widget]

Friend Ball fits him

[void lintel]

Here

I kinda want to keep a Ball Guy sticker for the shelves, but I don't think it would let me

[severe river]

So yeah, no dream ball, i’ll chose friend

[void lintel]

Ah right, there was one more found

[thick widget]

Gonna put it beside Lillie

[void lintel]

It'd be fitting, yeah

[vestal kraken]

How do we get these?

[void lintel]

Login bonus when the Ball Guy is added, apparently

[vestal kraken]

Oh

What are they, statues?

[void lintel]

Or maybe something like a daily battle?

The item name says "Replica" like the little replica items we can use as lodge decorations

So I think they are indeed the same kind of item

[thick widget]

We only get 3 Ball Guy stickers through login

The rest are locked behind Ball Guy events

[void lintel]

Ah, okay

Thank you

[vestal kraken]

Oh so random drop

Or reward exchange

[thick widget]

I cant check the event info rn, but probably so

[brave gulch]

So... what ball should I pick that matches dawn 👀

[severe river]

I don’t think there’s a dusk ball, unfortunately

So maybe moon ball

[void lintel]

For the irony (Dawn and Dusk) or because she has Cresselia (which is also ironic)

[brave gulch]

Always the third option of the love ball

[carmine sedge]

If I get lucky enough today, Gloria will be my fastest lodge unit along with Morty finishing both of them in 6 days

[coral merlin]

Dusk ball my favorite.

Guess I’ll have to wait to be added in the future.

[pallid ruin]

you guys can buy balls?

[severe river]

You get them from the ball guy event
They’re called replicas so we’re wondering if you can put them in lodge

[quasi sigil]

interesting

[carmine sedge]

Wow, I got 111 pts. with 6 interactions

[plain nova]

Whew lucky

[brave gulch]

Nice

[grim widget]

Does a character appear in the lodge if you only have an alt?

[carmine sedge]

No, but you'll have their picture of that alt

[grim widget]

Well that's just rude

Many of them are pokefairs

Granted i have all of those but not many do

[plain nova]

That’s why they have that monthly fair banner now they’re semi limited, better than nothing

[void lintel]

I was holding out for a Marnie+Gloria banner and they're mocking me with a Marnie solo banner and a Gloria solo banner.
And also Master Fair Marnie but I actually pulled on that one...

[sonic stream]

Gloria has been leaving me at 90 or above half the days already

I will still get to 100 in time for LG but still annoying

[robust warren]

are u fr

[runic plaza]

Why does it take 10 days to get one Plushe

[sharp solar]

'cause otherwise people will buy them in a month and complain about lack of content

[orchid glade]

its so fun doing Morty for 2 months in a row

they could at least do a general pair and a fair in same month

[plain nova]

if you're this close next time use x1.5 items

[unique ledge]

I dont think ill be able to get another plushie for a while all the customization stuff is so expensive and im currently trying to max cynthia (80)

I may not buy any items for chars im leveling up post-100 since idrc too much about certs and just doing it for the daily

[sharp bramble]

Dammit I think I have to stop double reds, my blue is getting low

[blazing sapphire]

Since I’m only doing May my yellow is absolutely tanked I should switch to double yellow

[unique ledge]

Im doing blue and red atm but I think I may have to make a yellow team eventually

[quasi sigil]

I'm doing double red because I have cynthia and gloria to do aaaagh

[unique ledge]

I may have to as well bcz im missing gloria and N and currently doing cynthia, but ig ill see whenever I get those 2

[void lintel]

Wouldn't it be funny if Redlax was the lodge version
So Blue needs red crystals and Red needs blue crystals

[quasi sigil]

[thick widget]

but in Japan Blue is called Green

[void lintel]

Then in Japan he has to do the joke by himself because there isn't a green crystal

[vestal kraken]

Considering Red and Snorlax is just "Red" it wouldn't be shocking if that was the pair for the lodge.

No special outfit has been added to the lodge, and so that would be his base outfit.

And it's a Poke Fair so it would fit the theme.

[sharp solar]

You can argue that SSRed is the "base" pair, it does have a unique case.

[void lintel]

Also not sure what the Poké Fair has anything to do with it

[analog furnace]

It has genuinely been at least a full week since I've been able to gift

I don't remember the last time this has happened I've probably been close, or dropped right after in between, but maann...

[unique ledge]

Bcz the lodge banner is a pokefair one

[night tide]

I had an easier time with silver compared to gloria

[carmine sedge]

Goddamn you Gloria, once again dropping me just when I was about to gift you

[sonic stream]

Fuck Gloria, she has left at 85 or 90% for 4 out of 7 days already

[night tide]

Same lol

[void lintel]

...And? Morty was added last month and he's not a fair. Plus the other candidate for Lodge Red would be Red_zard_ since that's what he wears on the title screen, and that's a Poké Fair too

[void lintel]

There's a more compelling reason for it to be Redlax: his Sygna Suit is made to match Charizard, so it wouldn't match whichever other mon he has as his Lodge pair. ...Unless, like, he bred that Charizard and his Lodge pair is Charmeleon: Son Of Charizard

(But Charmeleon is a more reddish shade of orange...)

[spiral cosmos]

Silver was absolutely brutal during the interactions. 4 straight days left early from my memory

[quasi sigil]

I complained a lot about Silver but Lillie was hell for me. still the most annoying character I've interacted with

[void lintel]

Re-enactment:

[brave gulch]

Silver is definitely one of the worse one

I got through him quick purely using gold gifts

[thick widget]

for me it was Rosa who annoyed me the most

she just refused to take my gifts

[quasi sigil]

[quasi sigil]

damn, rosa was so kind to me. one of the fastest characters I reached level 100 with

[void lintel]

He is, but the funny thing is, the reason he's hard to befriend... has nothing to do with him walking out on rancer early so many times

[thick widget]

it took me 2 weeks to reach lvl 100

[sonic stream]

Silver is mathematically the lowest odds of "super excited" right(

[thick widget]

she is so cute so i forgive her

[sonic stream]

Funny thing is I had good luck with Silver even though his odds of good convo is the worst. Gloria seems to have good odds but I'm getting shafted anyway

[void lintel]

This is an average of 118pts per day, at least

[void lintel]

Yeah, he and Blue have the fewest options for it

[quasi sigil]

meanwhile me interacting with blue and silver whenever I don't have any new guests

they're at level 400ish now!

[carmine sedge]

Serena for me was worse than Silver

[quasi sigil]

Ayo

[void lintel]

I'm waiting another five-and-a-half months to use mine, as I have all the genpool units in the current ticket pool

[robust warren]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-notebook-gif-20708336

[plain nova]

I mean if i use x1.3 items I’ll be in the same situation

[robust warren]

i buy the 1.5 items at the start of the day

thats why it said x5

bc my first interaction was with a x1.5 item

[plain nova]

[unique ledge]

I mean ye spotlights can be the lodge pair but not masterfairs seasonals variety etc. bcz its a pokefair banner

[unique ledge]

Ohhh I thought we were talking about redlax

Ye I assume he’ll be the version they use for lodge (and hoping incase I miss him this month) but SS Red I could also see happening

Cuz unlike other SS his was released before the base pair + its based off of red’s actual design not rlly charizard I think

[vestal kraken]

Why does Gloria's line of "I got something for you and I think you're going to like it" not even sound like her usual voice? It's like extra deep

[void lintel]

I think that's one of her original lines so it probably isn't from the actress not quite nailing the same voice in another session to record an alt version's lines

(e.g. Acerola's original lines speak in a squeaky falsetto but some of her later-recorded lines have a more... sane... pitch)

[vestal kraken]

Oh that makes sense

[late sluice]

Yeah I noticed that too

You can also tell a difference from gloria to summer gloria iirc

Just their overall lines

[void lintel]

"I've got something for you. I think you'll like it!" is the very first line I heard from Gloria, since I don't actually have her

I was taking a break from the game when she had her debut event so my first exposure to her was... a new year countdown login bonus scene, I think???

[bleak lotus]

Is Summer Gloria voiced by Gloria’s old VA?

Or at least used to?

[vestal kraken]

I didn't know Gloria changed VA

[bleak lotus]

She defo changed from Glojo and base at least

[thick widget]

Her VA retired in the time between the OG debut and the Summer alt

from what I heard

She was also the OG VA of Lyra iirc

[pallid ruin]

oh wha?

having no other glorias than base itd be hard for me to know but interesting

did Lyra change her va or smthin?

[analog furnace]

For the first time in a week, I wasn’t dropped before I could gift

26 levels from 7 days

[night tide]

!! First person I’ve seen with 1K

[analog furnace]

You’ll prob find a few others in here who have had 1k before me, trust me
Of people who got at least lv100 on the rest of their charas, I mean

But still yeah I guess it kinda shows you don’t need crazy luck or crazy grinding to get there without tooo much time

[night tide]

Now for.2,370,000!!

[analog furnace]

I swear there was someone here who hardcore grinded & optimised for everything, they did all their available charas to lv100 and got 1 chara to lv1000

Like a month ago almost

No joke

If anyone remembers who that was, lmk (or if my memory is exaggerated)

[night tide]

[analog furnace]

Here we go

[carmine sedge]

8 days, could've been 6

[dense saddle]

Cynthia why

[runic plaza]

I joined the 0% club today

[sinful ridge]

Thanks Gloria.

[unique ledge]

I thought id reach it but then I checked the summary and I forgot to give her the items

Also I think I may need a 0/10/0/10 team now, any suggestions?

[thick widget]

[late sluice]

yeah, you can also hear it from OG lyra to SS

It's very brief but it's there
The new VA did a very good job

[thick widget]

I didnt notice tha VA change until I learned that Gloria's OG VA also voiced Lyra

[void lintel]

I like to build a Kanto team around SSLeaf for this

I think there's at least one other option that does it easily

Sinnoh, built around Lucas maybe? I don't have him, though, so I don't know firsthand

[brave gulch]

I don't think sinnoh has enough rare cache?

I guess something like Lucas, masked royale, thorton, Bertha, darach, cynthia with rare extract

[void lintel]

Swap regular Cynthia for Renegade Cynthia and you can use Omni instead

...Actually wait, doesn't that team already have 9 cache

[brave gulch]

Yeah

I was just thinking off my head

[unique ledge]

Hmm ill try kanto and maybe try lucas if I can get him from the upcoming banner

[kind sleet]

💀Alright didn't see this coming at all. Next reset will have her done after all of the bad rngs

[long nymph]

They are enough for me

[void lintel]

Yeah, looking great

[raven badger]

how do i figure out whats optimal for my expedition teams?

[quasi sigil]

depends on which crystals you need

but we recommend focusing on at least 1 color, don't spread them out

check pins for expedition team recommendations

[void lintel]

If you don't have all six party slots yet, go for color gems-- at least one color at Lv8+ per team.
If you do have all six party slots, go for 10 Rare Cache plus one color at 8+ if possible
Try to build around trainers with region-match bonuses in Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, or especially Alola. The other regions tend not to have a good cast of characters to complement their region-match bonus ones

[brave gulch]

Yeah I was thinking off the top of my head and completely missed out ssrc cynthia

[raven badger]

ive got 5 slots so far

i just need yellow so i just hit optimize for a yellow team, gave me a lv10 yellow lv7 rare team when i did that

ig ill just make two lv10 yellow teams to get that last slot sooner then do the 6 party slot things giga said?

[unique ledge]

Now to grind stones for the rest of the month

I also ran out of yellow so I didnt use the shovels, but I was at lvl 99 anyway

[raven badger]

im working on Dawn right now for my first one, initially was going to do Serena cause i like her character wise, but i changed to dawn since i like her a decent bit and it leads into a support

[void lintel]

Dawn's Support ain't bad, yeah

[quasi sigil]

Uhm cyrus sir

[real gust]

I haven't really understood yet, what exactly are the materials for?

[quasi sigil]

To buy gifts and items for interactions mainly. Also to buy friendship keys to uncap friendship levels

Now you can also use them to buy lodge decorations

[sharp solar]

Check lodge exchange for examples

[quasi sigil]

Basically all lodge exchange uses the crystals as currency

[lucid gulch]

Or the lodge stones

[quasi sigil]

True, that too

[hard badger]

What is the most aesthetic arrangement of the plushies and statues?

I figure all plushies would probably be too much maybe a 4: 5 split of decorations and dolls

But which of the characters should be represented?

[unique ledge]

Plushies top and bottom and the items in the middle maybe?

[hard badger]

The focus would be on the decorations so they would have to be pretty alluring

I like the idea

[sharp bramble]

It’s a deeply personal thing

I’m just gonna worship 9 Cynthia plushies lol

The heck is Gordie doing

[severe river]

Addressing his fan club

[carmine sedge]

Wow... That's all I have to say

[night tide]

Crging!

Crying!

[severe river]

Oh yeah this was a few days ago

I kicked everyone else out of lodge

[sharp bramble]

Late but done at last. Back to Cynthia

[hollow kiln]

Morty is dismissed. Now it’s time for Gloria

[random portal]

Here's a new event for ya.

[void lintel]

I think I read somewhere that Melony is the first member of his fan club; I wonder if she's off to the side somewhere

[sharp solar]

[void lintel]

Right, there it is!

[keen stump]

I would be pissed if another limited pair is next months lodge

[void lintel]

The previous month was a genpool. Maybe it's about time we had a story pair join the lodge... And it's weird as hell that we don't have another Kanto guest yet

Brock is kinda popular, right? (Or is my impression skewed by the fact that I once was acquainted with a huge Brock fan?) Maybe we can get him.

[compact kettle]

I’d hope for brock or maybe barry for male story units? I know eventually every character will be in it, I rlly want ash and Leon in it lol

[night tide]

calem@!!

[severe river]

Woah that’s me

[raven badger]

Is 10/10/1/1 and 1/1/10/10 good for my exped teams? Left is full without any boosts on its two focuses, right is only full with cheer and wistful extract

[sharp solar]

You can go for two cache teams instead unless you want decorations faster for some reason.
Caches offer a wide variety of goods.

[raven badger]

I want to try to max dawn and some other pairs at a good pace

So far I pushed dawns friendship to 21 I think

[sharp solar]

You should get enough mats for all items and gifts.

[sharp solar]

Are you following interaction charts in the pins?

Buying all four items and silver gifts?

[raven badger]

Yeah that chart is how I jumped from like 7-9 or so to 21 today off my six interactions

Spent all four items and silver gifts on the batch interaction and got like 140 or so before she went off

[thick widget]

If i were you, i would build 3 rare cache teams with max possible level on the remaining colour, then rotate them depends on my needs or the guests

[sharp solar]

Try double cache teams, see how it works out

[raven badger]

I only have cynthia giratina and masked royal for +3 cache

[thick widget]

Check the pins for suggested teams

[raven badger]

so do i do two cache teams covering two different crystals, or what, trying to understand how im supposed to do double cache teams exactly. or do i full focus wistful with caches since wistful is what Dawns stuff uses iirc.

or does it just not really matter what the secondary focus is

or should i just let a good amount of bronzes build up before i do double cache teams, since bronze doesnt come in caches

[severe river]

Have you unlocked 6 slots yet?

[raven badger]

yeah

[severe river]

I don’t see the point of building up bronzes, silver ones are pretty manageable to use for gifts

[raven badger]

dont i need bronzes for specs and dig shovels?

[severe river]

But yes, you do want lvl 10 chest on both, and then try to get the crystal of your current ones

[severe river]

Yeah, but if you use the omni boost potion then you’ll build up enough for all of the colours over time (from my experience)

[raven badger]

how do i get a lot of coins for omni boosters and such?

[severe river]

Exchange the leftover evolution materials you get from the training area to the general exchange

[raven badger]

how many coins is that on avg per day would you say

[grim widget]

Hello, i have a bit of an odd request

My game crashed while getting gloria do i kinda skipped her intro, does anyone have a sc of it?

[night tide]

Woah! Good thorn increased her cap to 120

[sharp bramble]

Aye when it’s close to the cap increase it just in case

[raven badger]

question for yall about interactions

when its a 10pt vs the hot topic in the tail end of an interaction

which is better to pick

[quasi sigil]

once I've reached max points, I always take the 10-pointer

[raven badger]

got +12 levels off my interactions with Dawn today.

need to restock on her presents tho, realized midway through i was out of silvers so i had to use a bronze batch instead

[real gust]

What's the x6 for?

Haven't really been able to wrap my head around this interaction thing yet

[thick widget]

x6 means using 6 interactions at once

[sharp solar]

Max vibes, you mean? Hot topic's lower drops are valuable though

[sharp bramble]

Useful if you don’t want to spend time doing the minigame individually for every chance you have

[raven badger]

Is it possible to end up in max vibes multiple times in one interaction?

[sharp bramble]

No just once

[real gust]

How do you do that??

[thick widget]

You get 3 daily, and 3 from daily exchange

[real gust]

So when you have 6 interactions, you can use them up all at once?

Oh that's expensive!

[thick widget]

When you have 6 slots and have 2 rare cache teams, you can afford them daily

[real gust]

Should i make 2 teams like in Team A as a beginner or it don't matter?

[thick widget]

check the pins for suggested teams

[sharp solar]

Don't spread colors, focus on one lvl 10

[celest swallow]

No bonus events yet for this month?

I understand it taking time, so I don't have a problem with that.

I guess I could use the time to rename the repeats...

[void lintel]

No seasonal event that redecorates a location on Pasio this month, that's why

I'm honestly a little surprised that Palentine's Day never actually involved redecorating the town

Or wait, are you talking about Exploration Team C, or are you talking about the little scenes you can see instead of your own expedition team at random?

[brave gulch]

I'm more surprised she didn't get a photo at least

[quasi sigil]

Oh wait yeah, brain wasn't working

[grim widget]

Welp

I got all sync units of everyone

Is there anything to do afterwards

Aside from interacting, but what do you get from those

[quasi sigil]

Just pick a favorite character and interact with them every day for the daily missions

[grim widget]

Ah, so just the missions then

[quasi sigil]

You don't get much. Just lodge stones which you can exchange for certificate of excellence

[grim widget]

So there's no use buying the +3 interactions?

[quasi sigil]

Also once you reach certain friendship levels, the borders will change color

[quasi sigil]

I'd say buy it anyway and do x6 if you want to get it done quickly

[grim widget]

Aight

Also is the recommended treasure hunt like

+red, +yellow

Then +blue +treasure?

[quasi sigil]

I do two color + cache teams

Right now both teams are red+cache

[grim widget]

Oh i used to do that but

[quasi sigil]

Cache gives a lot of good drops after all

[grim widget]

I found myself lacking in colored orbs lol

[quasi sigil]

I just rotate the colors sometimes depending on who I'm interacting with

[grim widget]

Sounds good

Yeah i read here back then both teams should have at most max cache but

Well it was good back then but the color shortage kicked in

[quasi sigil]

Hmm yeah I used to be low on a certain color at first

[quasi sigil]

Doing this is fine for now I suppose. You can get back to color + cache once you've recovered

Hopefully we get another extra expedition area soon so I can do all 3 color + cache

or make 3 red+cache teams because we've had way too many strikers in lodge!!!

[void lintel]

I'm a little worried that the next one won't be until Summer

For the redecorated beach

It's a little uncomfortable that Halloween, Holiday, and New Year are so close together and then there'll be possibly nothing for half a year afterward

[severe river]

You mean her gatcha pull animation? Just watch poce’s gloria pulls or smth

[pearl hull]

uhhhh maybe easter will have an extra one

[sharp solar]

Perhaps Lodge introduction?

[void lintel]

Only two Spring seasonal units exist

Also I don't think any part of Pasio was redecorated for it

[compact kettle]

Wow silver best one in a while

[chilly harbor]

whats multiple interaction multiplier?

[severe river]

You can choose to use all of your interactions at once, and it’ll multiply your points accordingly

[chilly harbor]

ahh i see

i have been doing one at a time

prolly should do multiple to save time

[sinful ridge]

And that makes 12 Lodge Trainers.

Still missing Cynthia, Raihan, and N.

[quasi sigil]

incredible, Gloria. 6 interactions straight where I couldn't give a gift at ALL. Way to go

[sharp bramble]

It do be like that sometimes

On the plus side it’s less material going to gifts and more you can spend on decorations haha

[faint plank]

without any items and boost i cam get to 20-30% no problem and yet i cant even hit under 80 with all those items

dena either fked up the percentage or something

[pallid ruin]

It’s just luck

[faint plank]

even like 5-6 times for both situations

pretty sus

[quasi sigil]

I'm dirt poor on materials thanks to lodge decor 💀

[hard badger]

But on the plus side I bet your lodge looks awesome!

[void lintel]

The chances of getting turns past 80% are lower than you might think...

Since the turns before that have to not drop you either

It's only a roughly 50% chance to survive past 70% if you estimate a 10% average attention loss per turn (90% x 80% x 70% = 50.4%)

And if you reach 80% via Hot Topics, it's more like 95% x 90% x 85% x 80% = 58.14%

It's not that weird to be dropped while your Attention% is still high simply because it has to "survive" multiple checks in a row

[pallid ruin]

how hard is it to reach 0% mathematically

still never gotten it

[sharp solar]

I don't think we have precise data on the attention drip amounts. We can't even be sure drop% = 100% - attention%.

[plain nova]

i got 0 twice, got 3-4% a few times too
