marchionessofmustacheSo, a quick look at some Japanese guides (I should really just stop trusting the English sites altogether...) revealed that to unlock the Mine you need 200 Stamina, while doing good at it you'll need 100+ Vitality. So we're going to start out doing House Cleaning even though Market and Nursery were available right away. We're going to hope the peddler comes, because then we can buy Honey of the Fairies to get +50 Stamina.
Age 10
OK, Stamina raises much faster through Martial Arts Class, so we're going to do that lol.
Well, after a lot of Martial Arts and a little Farm, we hit 200 Stamina. But something I forgot about is that getting too much Stamina and Courage without gaining Morality will cause her to have Bad Attitude. Interestingly enough, though, Bad Attitude allows her to get better increases at the Mine. And 200 Stamina unlocked the Mine so... be a little meanie, Lisa!
With the Mine money we're going to start taking Etiquette Class, though, which shall raise Morality along with Elegance and Charm, and once we can get Morality to 350, we'll get out of the Bad Attitude.
Oh, it looks like she even gets boosts to Morality by Mining with a Bad Attitude. Cool!
Sigh, but Bad Attitude lowers Elegance when she takes Etiquette Class. Doesn't even make sense, but whatever. I guess we'll have to go to the Church until her Morality is 350+...
Age 11
I gave her free time and she said "I can't stay a good girl" or something and was like gambling with thugs on the street?!!?!?
Anyway, speaking Gently while in Bad Attitude seems to raise Morality sometimes. She made a comment about me being a knight once and got +4 trust (!) from Gently Chat as well. But uh, I just tried again and she got +5 Stress X_X; And another time Vitality went down 10. This is a gamble! I'll try Strict next time...
OK Strict also raised stress LOL.
So, I just stopped Chatting altogether XD Now I'm just spamming Church after the stipend. Thankfully it's also slowly raising Elegance and doesn't increase Stress too much.
OK, Church got her out of Bad Attitude by February (her birthday is August 1) so now she can move on to Etiquette Class! Well, while it does raise Elegance very quickly, it doesn't seem to raise Charm too well.
According to the Japanese wiki, Dance Class raises Charm SLIGHTLY more than Etiquette Class... but it raises Elegance like half as quickly. But we need a lot more Charm than we need Elegance (our Elegance is already 204, and we only need 500, while our Charm is only 84 and we need 700). So I think we'll change over to Dance Class. It's also a little cheaper!
OK, working at the Mine a lot is tanking her Elegance. It looks like Dance Class will not even keep up with it. So it's back to Etiquette class. The difference is only 0.1/day in Charm, so... I think this will be better.
It looks like we'll definitely need to get some help from the wandering peddler and buy some Perfumes, so we'll need to have more money on hand. So I'm only going to attend class when I have 900G+.
Age 12
Lisa is 12! She's still trying to get a feel for the whole Etiquette Class thing... she got a 51 on her 'exam' lol.
She's not doing too well at Mining... her Vitality is OK but I guess not enough to keep up with the work. I could move over to Bar work, which would give her a tiny bit of Charm, and maybe more money if she could be more successful at it. We'll try that for a while...
Age 13
Well, working at the Bar seems to be working out a little better. The tiny bit of increase to Charm makes me feel a little better, and I feel like we're getting better money with how much more often she succeeds.
Well... gonna put this on hold until tomorrow. It's bed time.
Age 14
Well, shortly after reaching age 14, we hit the 500 Elegance, but only exactly. So it'll keep dropping if we work at the bar. It's been a struggle to keep Elegance up, and I think it might be better to do work that doesn't affect our 'main' stats and helps us get money that we can put toward buying Bouquets, as I think those are going to raise charm better than Etiquette Class. They raise Charm by 12, which is more than we get from a single Etiquette class, cost about the same amount (maybe less?) and don't take a time slot to buy, so we can squeeze in more money.
Maid work will increase Elegance and Charm, which is nice, and only drop Pride and Attitude. So I think we're gonna start working there and then buy as many bouquets as possible. I'll try to buy them when I have more than 900G so that I'll never drop below 700, in case the peddler comes so we can buy a perfume from him...
OK, she's not performing well at Maid work. It requires good Attitude and hers is barely above 100... plus Maid work actually LOWERS attitude (wtf). The Nursery might be a better choice as it has a very low requirement of Vitality to do well, and we have decent Vitality from Chatting and other things.
Nice, she's doing much better at the daycare than she was at the mansion. So I think we're going to start buying turkeys to reduce stress... it gives -80 stress whereas giving her free time costs a little money and doesn't fully recover stress when she's at 60-80. We'll have to worry about weight, but weight loss class actually raises Charm so it shouldn't be too terrible. The turkeys cost 120G, but we'll get an extra day of work in from not having to go on free time, and we should be able to make ~120+ from that. So overall we're coming out ahead.
Yeah, with this method, Charm is raising more than twice as fast (almost 3x as fast) as before. Seems like this is the way to go. I did get lucky and get 3 perfect jobs, which means bonus money. So probably won't go THIS good every quarter, but still.
Age 15
Well, we're only a couple of months into her 15th year, and she's at 650 Charm! Elegance is still 525 or so, as it's not raising at all, so hopefully it won't drop TOO much when we start working the mines. If it gets below 510 I can always do Etiquette Class in an emergency.
Aaaaaaand Charm has hit 710! I think she might need to be 16 years old to meet the Mole Prince...? IDK, as always, information on this game is not goood, so I'm not really sure. But time to start working the mines again. If anything, we'll get more money. Especially now that Vitality has been boosted.
Age 16
I spent the rest of age 15 mostly doing Etiquette Class with the big money we made from mining; I also made a save once Charm hit 700+, so I can go back and NOT do mining and see what ending I get.
But now it's time to MINE MINE MINE and hopefully meet the Mole Prince now that we're 16...! Apparently to meet him you have to mine 10+ times. I don't know if it has to be in a row, or just 10 times total, or 10 once you've gotten the stats, or 10 once you turn 16... we'll see I guess????
Yup, first day I mined after turning 16 I met the Mole Prince :) Now I think I just need to meet him one more time and finish out the game.
And the next time I worked the mine, we met the Mole Prince again and he asked for her hand in marriage XD Now I think I just need to close out the game.
... And yeah, that's all I had to do. XD FURRY MARRIAGE WIN!!!!
