A fellow Candid enjoyer! :D You certainly have the space for it, haha For my own grinding, I prefer the energy of Roasted Lambs compared to Energy Boosts, so I always stock up on a TON in April lol! This year I'm starting February with like 240, but there's nothing wrong with extras! I hope to be able to use 2 per day every day this year, which would be 116 total across both accounts for the whole month. Somehow, I always forget to use the meat pies and energy boosts I hoard specifically for February ^^ I made a Google spreadsheet to track my own gains last year. If you don't have one of your own, would you like to try using it? 1 player likes this post! Like? |

That's so clever!  I do have one ready to use, but I wanted to have something here and simple so people did not need to check via a google account to see where I was at. I'd LOVE to compare data over the years, too! See if I'm able to prepare at least half as well next February and see the difference in HS, etc.  YES I adore Candid! Mass claiming NCLs for CRBs as always has given me so, SO much energy per day. And getting that lioness quest every 2 days in Feb is a potential good chunk of extra energy! I definitely love the lambs for the events! I stocked up a little less on them this year as I invested more into 'immediate' energy outputs.  I typically have a decent bit of time to spend on Lioden a day, as I'm stay-at-home, but sometimes I get pulled away for a while so it's easier to have the immediate 'run through' energy for me versus the nice 8 hour buff. But hoping both will work in my favor this year. 1 player likes this post! Like? |

I had a really lazy spreadsheet for 2022 and before that :p So for 2023 I polished it up so I could release it upon the community! I love seeing data like this, and wish that Lioden had an official way to track it (at least for the sake of accuracy!) 1 player likes this post! Like? |

Is this an okay place to ask some February event questions? If not, just let me know and I get it (I don't want to gunk up your nice tracker thread!) So I joined last October, obviously after all the energy event boost items were gone for the year. However, this is what I'm starting February with (between my two accounts). - 36 Roasted Lambs (I got a few lucky gifts from my December bundles, but I just spent ALLLLL of my SB on Roasted Lambs just now....bye bye 50k SB lol) - 3 Red Bulls - 310 Fermented Marula Fruits - 1 Energy Boost - About 4 banked levels on my alt and currently about 4 banked levels on my main here (but I just kinged him yesterday, so I expect to get a lot more here) - 90 Giant Torts (not ALL of these will be used - once I get diminishing returns, I probably should stop using them to get more exp and just sell them) 1. Is this...okay? Is there anything else, energy boosting-wise, I can do to set myself up for more success? 2. Should I completely stop breeding for February, except for rare exceptions, to conserve energy only for exploring? 3. I was planning on changing both of my kings' personalities to Hyperactive, but should I re-consider changing to Candid for one (or both?) I don't have a lot of space. I mean, I do sorta, but I may have to dump more of my liked lionesses to make more space. My alt has a lot more space right now (about 30-ish disposable spots). 4. Do you recommend waking up through the night to expend energy? lol. I mean, yes it will get you more HS, but also as a stay at home mom to a 6 year old and 2 year old (AND for February I will be 34-38 weeks pregnant....I mean, I can use it as practice for when he gets here in March! lol. Pre-gaming. hahaha....*cries*) sleep is kinda important. Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I DON'T wake up in the middle of the night? Or does it not really matter....? 5. Okay all these flirt/slap things and flirt timers I keep hearing about...I tried reading the wiki on this but I have a question. It sounds like it's more advantageous to flirt with a lioness with a recently logged off user (where the game still recognizes them online, but they haven't had active activity for 15-20 minutes - you know, where you send a stud request to an "online" user but then like 10 minutes later, check and realize they are now offline and never really saw your request because they actually weren't online.....if this makes sense) because you want your flirt to succeed, you don't want the owner of the lioness to "slap" you. Right? So I should prioritize "online" users who aren't really online to actually get the most HS from successful flirts. Right? Or does it just honestly not matter and I should just flirt with any online lioness? As an addendum, I'd like to note my two previous pregnancies came early. So there's a fair chance my baby is going to get here in February. And I'm telling you, I MIGHT be in the delivery pushing a baby out and my flirt timer goes off and I scream between contractions for my husband to give me my phone because I gotta get that flirt in. In case you all wanted a little laugh... 1 player likes this post! Like? |

You are more than welcome to! Just know I'm not an expert by any means. My event grinding worked VERY well for September but it also is just what works best for me! I think it's really good to play around with things and see what works best for YOU and your schedule! 1. Just if you ever get an extra 2 GB you're not hurting for, I'd toss it at an energy boost from the oasis! It's fabulous! TBH if people have a decently free schedule and NO items, they can still do very well in Feb! Hunting for 100 food uses/finding them in explore is a very good way to get an extra 1-2 GB too that's a quick list and forget rather than lions! 2. I admittedly plan to do that myself! I will be keeping studs on just so I have a little extra income, but I know lots of people turn theirs off to conserve energy! My main goal is to force some RLCs to pass but to mainly prepare for hybrid breeding as that/CRBs is mostly what I do! So the extra SB goes a long way for me grabbing a CRB or two. :3 You can also open it for limited slots if you need a GB/SB top up, and then close again! 3. I'd say 30-ish is very good for candid! Especially since you shouldn't probably use catnip during the month, you likely(?) won't be seeing 30 NCLs in an hour. So you can safely wait for those to be ready to be chased, chase, then get that room back! I'm admittedly not sure what a solid number of free spaces would be. I'd say at least 10?  But honestly I get well over the +30 a day with exploring without catnip. Plus, it's nice to have that occasional 50 lioness quest too! So you get energy back for working towards it at a chance of exp, a full energy bar, and even lion meat! All good things to get just by claiming lionesses, Imo. :34. So honestly, health and well being always > lion'ing! I'd say if you wake up ANYWAYS then absolutely grab your phone and burn through the energy then go back to bed. I think some people absolutely function fine with waking up occasionally. I myself have insomnia but it also takes me forever to get to sleep, so if I wake up once at night, I'm likely not going back to sleep. Which, for me, *works fine* because I can catch up on my sleep the next day. I'm a SAHP so once the family is off to school/work, I'm able to catch up on sleep IF I need to. While yes you can probably get a good bit more HS through the month for it, it is NOT worth the lost sleep if it makes you feel poorly. It definitely doesn't really affect some people, but others it really does! So I'd say it is NOT worth the stress out over as February is so profitable already. If someone explores just a little bit each day, or even every few days, they can wind up with no problem with 100 GB of profit in later months. 6 yohimbe barks, 180 HS, for example, at worst is 15 GB a pop in later months. That alone is 90 GB! Just from very casually playing. So it depends on what your goals/needs are. So my personal recommendation is if you feel like it will hurt your functioning/health, do NOT worry about it! But if you feel like 'I get restless anyways and want to try it,' sure! Just don't force yourself to stick to it if it doesn't work. There's other good months for profit grinding every year! :35. The flirt/slap is actually at random! You don't get to pick what lioness gets it, so you'll never know if it's someone who just dipped out for a pizza, or if it's someone waiting with a giant fly swatter to smack away flirts! So just when that timer goes off, be prepared to attempt to flirt! Ahhh congrats! The things we'll do for our silly little lions. I hope it all goes smoothly! 4 players like this post! Like? |

Wishydane - I am not Ramune, but I'd like to give you my own answers as well! 1. You have a pretty decent amount of energy stuff stored up! If you have a second account, 36 (well, 39 basically) roasted lambs will be enough for around 2/3 of the month if you use one per day per account. So it would be a good idea to try to plan out which days will be best to use them, though with a baby on the way you might have to change your plans a bit! Energy boosts are really good to use if you don't have time to consistently explore throughout the day, which, with 3 kiddos to worry about, might be tough. It might be beneficial to sell your lambs and buy energy boosts or meat pies instead, since you can then explore in short bursts when you have more time. Other good sources include: 50 NCL claiming quest (the old lioness in explore) as a possible reward is 100% energy and 100% impression - only complete the quest at 0% energy and as close to 0% impression as you can! Impression isn't too important if you don't care about the stats after leveling it beyond Dreamboat, however. Gorilla Enclave Hard quest for 60% energy - try to have a good chunk of SB on hand in case you need to reroll the quest Daily bone marrow 2. I breed in February, though I try to cut back a bit from my usual amounts. My lions are getting old, so a lot of them should be gone by the time the month starts. It will be best to avoid breeding, yes! 3. If you use roasted lambs, you might run into the issue of having more lionesses coming in than you can get rid of before their hour cooldown is up. With energy boosts, you can use them when you want, so you'd be able to wait until you are able to free up space. If that makes sense. 4. Agreeing with Ramune heavily here - don't sacrifice your well-being for the event haha! I'm able to wake up and go back to sleep most days if I play on my phone in the middle of the night, but not everyone can. With pregnancy and young kids and possibly even a young baby... I'm not sure I can imagine WANTING to sacrifice precious sleep! x) But if you're awake anyway, there's no harm in it. Like if you wake up to go to the bathroom, and if it won't fully prevent you from going back to sleep, definitely spend that energy bar while you're on the toilet :P 5. It is indeed a random lion you flirt with, but don't worry about whether they are online or not. The amount you gain evens out, really - if they don't slap you, you get a guaranteed 1 HS. If they do... well, you might get 0 (and they get 1-3) or YOU might get 1-3 HS instead! If you are in a place where you can't set an actual timer, what I plan to do this year at work is just flirt on both accounts when I reset my hunts every 30 minutes. Otherwise I'll forget :V Flirting every 30 minutes is better than 3 times during the day! (to do this, only send out 1-2 hunters at once so you don't run out of hunts on all your lions!) 2 players like this post! Like? |

1. So the returns on 2GB investment for 1 full energy bar is worth it? I have 140GB just sitting around right now that I could blow on energy boosts, lol. But I want to maximize profit (and fun of course...) and if it's worth it to buy more boosts (2GB to go towards a 30GB Buffy to sell later) then maybe I should completely drain my banks accounts dry to invest in more future sales. 2. Man the CRB itch is real. Got my first lethal this way and I love CRBing (admittedly I am tired of the endless bobbed tails, foldies, and achros I get....endless....oof and not to mention ALLLL the AMPs....which have thus far all turned into mane AMPs no one wants to buy lol. Anyway, I digress...). So it might be good to keep my studs open BUT not personally stud my girls, except for my breeding project ones. 3. I should definitely test out how many I do end up actually claiming a day (I know I claim at least 10 usually, which would be 30 extra energy right there already). I might do an experiment on my accounts, one hyperactive and one candid and then see how many more HS I get per account. 4. Well, it definitely gets harder to sleep with a huge bowling ball belly that's poking my guts half the night, so I'll likely be awake a couple of times. Might be good to grab my phone and use energy and then go back to sleep (though it's gamble if I can go right back to sleep or if I'll be up the rest of the night with a restless mind lol). 5. Oh, so I don't pick a user, I just go to like the event page and flirt someone randomly? Well that makes it easier to do rather than tracking down "online" (offline...) users. Thanks for putting up with my newbie questions! I'm totally going to keep a daily tracker post here to see how much I can really earn this month. I think it'll be fun because I'm not "prepared" this year with the right amount of energy boosts like I will be in future februarys. So as someone starting off with a fair bit less than more prepared players, it'll be interesting to see how well I do compared to some of you others. ETA: I appreciate anyone chiming in and sharing their thoughts and tips! My goal is to make bank this february and then help carry me through the rest of the year (since I guess I'll be monetarily "bone dry" for this event lol). So it'll probably be best if I use my lambs while my oldest is at school (and not the days my husband teleworks because he likes me to play other games with him sometimes when he is home lol). I'll remember to grab a bone marrow every day as well as my GE quest for that 60% energy boost. And when/if I get the lioness claiming quest (sometimes I get it exactly 2 ROs later....sometimes it takes 4 or 5 ROs to actually run into it). If I run into the "claiming too many lionesses than I can hold issue", I might up my territory spots with some more GB. 2 players like this post!

1. If the roasted lambs cost you less than 6(?) GB each, you'll get more bang for your buck with those vs energy boosts but the boosts are still a viable strategy! Not sure if I would personally bankrupt myself temporarily for them but leaving a comfortable emergency fund would be fine imo 3. Last year I kept one account Hyperactive and the other Candid, and my Candid account had overall a 20 HS higher average per day than the Hyperactive one :) You are free to try both yourself though, as Hyperactive is still great on its own! (If you'd like I can PM you my spreadsheet from last year to show the differences ^^) 0 players like this post! Like? |

1. Well the roasted lambs I just snagged today were 2350SB each and I got all I could with my 50k or so lol. So those might be better to grab than energy boosts if they cost less than 6ish GB in price? I'm plumb out of SB now, but if/when I get more, and they are still a good price, I might be better off grabbing more of those? 3. And that's very interesting. I'd totally love to see your spreadsheet if you want to share it from last year. :) 0 players like this post! Like? |
