Ramune's February Madness Tracker

I couldn't help myself and did a silly little doodle.

A little preface on this thread - I wanted to make a little journal to detail my February experience. I will log how much time I spend exploring per day, what items are used, and if I figure out something that absolutely works great or terribly. I'm starting with my own 'quick-start' guide on what has worked best for me for grinding events to give a peek into my daily routine for grinding events. :3

Additionally, please feel free to add your own logs here! :D I'd love to see what others do on the daily. *You are always doing an event right as long as you have fun with it!*


•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•⋅⋅∘♡˚♡∘⋅⋅•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•

Lofty Feb Goals
Oh boy. This is either a lowball or an extreme highball for expectations. Whichever one it is, we will find out!

My inventory for Feb:
- 550 energy boosts
- 19 Level-ups
- 40 roasted lambs (30 additional are being saved in case there is a Jaglion hype boost like there was for Tigons :3 May end up using more, however!)

My Hopeful Breeding Items Goal:
- 420 Yohimbe Barks (12,600 HS) - Minimum
- 100 Buffalo Scrots (6,000 HS)
- 1,400 HS for decors, BGs, apps, and lion scrots!
For a total of; 20,000 HS. I am hopeful I can surpass this, but it is all down to RNG with event encounters and how much time I am actually able to spend grinding! I'm planning on compacting my exploring as much as I can to a 6 or so hour period a day, so we shall see if I'm able to even half-way meet it! If not, I'll have energy left over for other events. :3
Goal has been met!

•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•⋅⋅∘♡˚♡∘⋅⋅•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•

Daily To-Do's and Reminders

Let me preface this with; this is what works for ME. These are my little "notes to self" for daily 'do's' and 'don'ts.' You may have methods that work MUCH better for you, and that is fabulous! I am not presenting this as a 'this is the best way to do Feb' but as a 'this is how I'm approaching the event for tracking. If any of it helps you, I'm happy!'
I also prepared well ahead of time with a SILLY amount of energy boosts. I was able to make sales and invested it directly into energy boosts because I was ABLE to at the time. You can STILL have a wonderfully profitable Feb by just exploring once in a while casually. You can spend 0 GB and end up with 50 GB worth of buffalo scrots by just exploring an hour or so a few days of the month. It adds up!

•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•

Encounter quick guide
- This info is also on the wiki! :3 It's just easier for me to sift through in this layout PERSONALLY.

•⋅⋅♡⋅⋅•

- BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, set alarm for every 15 mins to flirt (set backup alarm for every half hour or hour in case you get distracted - I am easily distracted, and this is a necessary step for me!)

- DAILY: Gorilla Enclave: Choose ENERGY

- DAILY: bone marrow

- DAILY: keep word doc up with best yield of HS (when in doubt, CHECK IT OUT) - NOTE: The wiki already has this information laid out beautifully. It is just simpler for me to have a word document up with only the best option visible. It cuts down on my time as there's "less to look at" per encounter.

- Roasted Lamb or Red Bull every 8 hours (use at the TOP of each hour within the first 5 minutes - set timer once used for 8 hours).

- CANDID Personality - Candid personality gives you +3 energy return for every successful NCL claim. Battling does not tend to yield enough HS to worry about (if you have enough territory, you not only might get and complete the 50 lioness quest for a potential +100% energy, but you also tend to get WELL over 30 energy per day - better than the hyperactive daily boost!) Update with hyena butter; definitely exceeded the hyperactive boost on a few days, today included (day 1 Feb). I recommend if you have the territory!
- HYPERACTIVE Personality - If you do not have enough territory to cycle through ~10 NCLs an hour (claim & chase after their cooldown is up), Hyperactive will be your best bet! This number is only if you are not running through a LOT of energy at once! It's probably closer to 30? if you're using several boosts in a row. It will give you a +30% daily boost!

- Remember to check slap/flirt page every handful of minutes - I've missed notifications before!

- Level ups before energy boosts!

- NEW: Coffee Beans! - Give yourself a kick of espresso when you KNOW you have 15 minutes and a full energy bar at MINIMUM for exploring. This will guarantee you at least 50 steps in explore vs a guaranteed 34 if the maximum amount of energy is used per step! Best used if you have 2+ energy boosts.
[Note; I am planning to see how many energy boosts I can go through while REASONABLY farming the best options of HS with the coffee beans. Obviously speed clicking isn't the way to go as you have to select options, so it will take some math to figure out how many energy boosts is feasible and reasonable to burn through with coffee beans active.]

- Hyena Butter on occasion - DO NOT PERCEIVE ME, LIONESSES (if lioness encounters seem very frequent and it is getting in the way of event encounters - I usually save this after I've gotten well over the +30 energy a day!)

- Fermented Marula Fruits - Use at 0% energy, make sure your +20 isn't about to go off!

- Do not forget to spend your HS. I set a calendar reminder for the 26th each February so I do not forget.


- Additional daily note: If you find yourself in need for emergency funds, don't forget to play Serengeti Shuffle and Reptile Roundup! The decors sell nicely from RR and if you score 3500+ on SS, you can win items worth 1-2 GB. HS is extremely cheap compared to the items' actual "values" as HS is rather easy to get. Playing for the long haul will earn you more GB!

Very nice! Do you have your HS per energy bar updated?

I'm at 10, 12 (x1 lvl up) on my Main
15 on my Side (Edit: Update, used my 9 lvl up With Coffee Beans active (Total: 2 Coffee Beans used back to back 1 after the 1st expired for half-hour of grinding) & no energy gains from claiming lionesses [My Territory is FULL full <3] averaged 10.4 HS per energy bar.

I'm not recording this for myself but to preserve the raw numbers made a quick tally beneath spoiler:
)

Exploring during Tier 0 - Before Tier 1 opens.

I'm wondering if i've only paid attention during these first runs in previous years so always conclude 2gb root / 8gb pie boosts aren't worth it for me & Actually don't have a low average, just right for this tier.
I'm taking another look at energy boosts this year.



Thank you for the thread!

I’ve had up to 33? In one bar, but 15-20 seems a closer average! Honestly it’s been very worth it for me so far! The coffee beans have helped tremendously with it though, I believe! :3

I'm not keeping track anymore. I'm just so not motivated for this month now lol. After wasting so much on 4 failed tigon heats, I'm just...depressed lol. I hardly collect anymore. I'll try and get a grand total at the end of the month.

So far, I'm averaging between 15 and 30 HS an energy boost, depending on what encounters I get! :3

Definitely have gone above and beyond exceeding the hyperactive boost. Candid for the win!

Started today with 0 HS, excited to see where I end up!

Candid is definitely better than hyperactive. I'm only a few hours into my day and both of my accounts have claimed over 30 lionesses. That's 90 extra energy right there. And when I max out on slots, I get a hyena butter. Then when the hour is up, I chase them away and open myself up for more extra energy. This way I can capitalize on both strategies: allowing +3 energy per claim and pausing it by using the butter.

However, this is day 1 of February and I had a lot of banked Levels, and therefore lots of extra energy and encountering NCLs is going to be extremely elevated for today only. But even if I only claim 30 lionesses per day alone, that's still an extra 90 energy. Almost a full bar. Still way better than hyperactive. AND the added benefit of running into chased NCLs and making some profit between 75-250sb per chased, so I end up with more cash too.

ETA: using coffee beans and fermented marula fruit is very beneficial. If I have extra coffee bean time after my main energy expenditure, I've been using my FMF and sure you only get 1-10 energy maybe, but used in conjunction with the beans, it definitely stretches out how far each positive fruit gain goes. So if you have extra bean time and have exhausted your main energy sources, grab some fruit and have one tab open on the fruit page and one tab on the explore page and make the most of your bean time.

Wow, thank you so much for the tips and superb Encounter quick guide!

I probably will get a side account for this but I'm not sure, because all the fuss with heirs and replacement meh
I also find that I'm 10 hours ahead lioden time quite convenient because I can check in in both morning and afternoon per one rollover

Plan: 100-150 HS a day on one account won't be super hard so I'd say 2750 shells this month? For me It's a huge amount and I think doing this in a quite laid-back way is more than amazing result for me

I'll be up for 15 hourse aprox which leaves me with 700 energy restored daily (w daily boost) and + 110 from marrow, enclave and hyporactive boost (changed the personality today) = 810 energy every rollover, but I will probably miss some checks so I'll count on 650-750 daily (a VERY rough calculation is 325-375 steps in explore)
Plus flirting and slapping, yup
I have no idea how will this go lol
I already play SS and Reptile roundup daily, but probably now also play Whack a snake for 200 points (prizes are coconut, marrow of food bundle)

SB spent: 400 (personality mask)
680 (marrow and hyena butter)

I had 44 HS since from year lol will edit reply once in a while I think

Milestones:


Also once I spent half of energy bar with hyena active and got literally none february encounters

Hi!! I'm here with some data, and hope you don't mind me sticking it here!

Since last night when the event started, I've used 80 energy boosts. (160GB)

I have earned 919HS between the boosts, natural energy regeneration, and flirting. This puts me at about 5.7HS per GB spent. This means it would be in fact more profitable for me to purchase HS from other players for 6HS per GB.

I don't think this is the route I'm going to take, however, as I'm not sure the profit margin (for me, a predicted difference of about 300 HS more) is worth the time I'll have to spend communicating with different people, trusting agreements made, and creating trades. I'd personally rather spend my time explore grinding and enjoying the many benefits that come with that.

However I did not use coffee beans or hyena butters. So I'm not sure if it would make a difference for me!

Thank you for this wonderful thread. I've loved reading everyone's input and perspectives and wish everyone the best for this month!

I've used 29 uses of meat pies (58 GB) and leveled from 3 to 22 (so 19 levels!) So with 48 equivalent energy boosts, I've made; 918 HS. Which is around 30 barks, which would be around 120 GB worth for me! The levels were stashed up from grinded (and some cheaply bought!) giant torts. To me it's a profit in addition to as you said, not having to play the waiting game! And not having to compete with other buyers - having to wait, etc. :3 (I think it boils down to a 19 HS per bar average? I think!)

I love getting data from everyone and seeing the input, absolutely! I think either way is a really good way to go! But not having to wait until T3 to get what I need, as there will be a MASS amount of buying at that time, is a huge plus for me personally! That way I can get to barking as soon as T3 opens as I plan to use the items myself.

You're very welcome! I'm hopeful people find the tips useful at least and love to see how other people's grinds at going.

As for you Coleen, that's a fabulous goal! I am here to cheer you on! The Whack a Snake is a great addition too. I am... horrendous at it, but it's so nice! Plus the decors as well are very lovely and could make a pretty GB.

Thank you for the additional data, Wishydane! Yeah, I'm fortunate to have plenty of extra space. It's been waaaay way more beneficial for me personally than hyperactive so far! Plus, what a GREAT point about selling chaseds/NCLs! I'll add that into my guide.

Ramune can I get a data thing because I wanna see what I average daily and the fact I'm on mobile is super hard.

Also 2K already?! I got 21 lambs, torts and a whole lot of gbs stashed away. Ugh. Teach me your entire ways.

What data thing? :o

And just lots and lots of energy boosts. So far I'm in the positive by a good chunk of profit on what I could buy the HS at. And still a lot of boosts to go!

What blows my mind is that today is shaping up to be the same as yesterday between my main and alt accounts with lioness claiming. I'm getting so many more NCL encounters on my main than my alt AND my main is significantly more successful at claiming them too. Albeit I am favoring my main more in terms of energy usage (I don't see a point in using energy boosts on my alt too, except for maybe getting the achievement) but even still, there is a definitely noticeable difference in encounter rates and claim rates.

I wonder if karma has anything to do with it? Although both kings have the same personality, my main is positive karma and my alt is negative karma. Likely not, this is just a random thought I had and probably plays no part in it, but I guess RNG just sucks two days in a row for my alt. (On the subject of RNG, my king here on my main FINALLY passed his base AND his mut today...in the same litter! Of course, to a long gen lioness and not one of my G1/G2 beauties - he hasn't base passed since i kinged him in early January and I bred him a lot whereas his G3 predecessor passed his Nefer base quite often. Smh about RNG...)

Kaijuuu! I'm so glad this has helped!

I want to say I've heard something about king personality affecting claim attempts on lionesses of varying personalities (ie kind + kind work better) but I'm not 100% sure. It is too early for me to recall properly. Well, it feels earlier than it is. Ahaha!

Oh, the rants I could go on about RNG. It is a silly and fickle thing! I'm definitely in the same boat with the NCLs though. I definitely see how hyperactive would be a less stressful experience for those with less or full territories! But it has, by far, been at least twice, if not three+ times, as beneficial for me so far!
