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!
