Helping your friends
Posted: 9. Aug 2016, 20:45
How can you best help your friends when you visit them? How can you help them to help you? Here are some of my thoughts on the subject:
- Think about what will help them the most immediately.
- If the only thing you can help with is increasing their plant yield, you have no way of telling exactly when the plants will be ready to harvest. It is better to concentrate your effort on one plant to try to get it up to a +1 status rather than adding one point to 3 plants. There is no guarantee that their other friends will be along in time to complete the upgrades to the three plants before they are ready to harvest. One +1 plant is worth more than 3 that are just one point shy of being +1.
- If there are monsters attacking their garden, are they attacking a plant that can be harvested or are they just attacking an undeveloped space, i.e., weeds, rocks, etc. If they are attacking a plant that can be harvested, then it is more important to get rid of them as soon as possible, so the plant may be harvested. If not, they can be taken care of the next day.
- Completing Dragon Quests is important to personal and Clan advancement. If there are food trees that can be clicked on, do so. Each Friend Mark used gets them 5% closer to harvest.
- How can you help your friends to help you?
- Most plants can be "upgraded" to +1 status even if they aren't given a "Friend Mark" but some cannot be. If it is important to you to get as many of a particular plant as possible, put a Friend Mark on each one you plant, just in case.
- If you have just harvested your food trees, replace the Friend Mark immediately or you may forget and your friends won't be able to speed your harvest.
