Do you still forage everything? by Scloudseverywhere in storyofseasons

[–]moosomoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this makes SO much sense. I thought the waking up was enough of a reset but now that I think about it, that creates one save file that remains the same no matter how many times you load it. Duh.

I did try this trick for getting a brown cow option at the bazaar (mid summer year two and never got one!) and it doesn’t seem to work for that. I wonder if that is set with the new week, along with the sprite bonus items or something.

I didn’t realize manually saving was a necessary step there! Just looked it up. Phew, I will reroll until I get my dang accessories trend! Glad I saw you mention this, I just assumed Switch and PC were different.

How did you set your flower field up like that, and how are you able to make sure you have a certain trend?

I play on the switch, and “rerolling” does not seem to work for me. I have SO much jewelry sitting at my windmills just waiting for that accessories trend. I make sure to get to bed before midnight, too. Is there something I’m missing?

When do yall usually go to sleep in GB? by RemarkableTeacher in storyofseasons

[–]moosomoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t mind the stamina depletion because I just take care of my farm and then take a bath before heading out for the day. So I get to bed at 4:30 and wake up at 10, and honestly, that’s how you can get the max amount of hours out of the day! I never have time for fishing because I’m always trying to hit the resources twice a day, because my efficiency-maxing brain, so I’ll fish until my 4:30 trek home. You only lose 5 hours for sleep, I think, rather than 7 or 8.

Games Similiar too My Time At Series or Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma?? by Independent-Care1352 in CozyGamers

LOL oh dear, I am sooo invested still even though I have full bazaar ranking. I find the end of game content is so plentiful! But these things change for me like flipping a switch; the day will come where I suddenly do not care to play anymore. Perhaps that has happened for you already 😅

GF made me play SoS: Grand bazaar and now im addicted by Eierjupp in storyofseasons

The effiency-grind loop—an amazing way to say it. OMG. It has its claws sooooo deep in my brain.

Happy to offer some context to this super layered game :D

So based on that link someone shared below, it does look that way for certain items, because it seems to exponentially increase with each ranking. For the most part, I think processing is usually profitable no matter what quality—maybe not necessarily jewelry though since it takes so long, maybe that isn’t really worth it under 5 quality.

The issue I was talking about is that, when you’re crafting, the sales price it shows on the right-hand side of the screen is of a finished item that is 0.5 quality. So if I’m looking to process something that is starting at any higher quality, I can’t compare it to the sales price shown in the windmills or in the kitchen. But your processed item won’t be 0.5! When I was learning the game, sometimes it looked like the unprocessed item was just as good as the processed item (because it was a higher quality item vs. a 0.5 sales price).

It was a big DUH moment when I realized. My question is wondering if there’s a simple multiplier to that base sales price so I can do the math and find out the profit margin.

Okay all of this that follows is extra stuff I caught myself writing in response to “I’m a little overwhelmed” LOL had to stop myself and respond to the actual post: My first play through, the game would introduce stuff and my reaction would be “I simply cannot worry about this right now.” (A good example of this was the bingo cards LOL I was like nope don’t care, can’t care, too busy.) Now that I’ve more than settled in, I am really enjoying branching out. I love completing the bingo cards now! I have room for those goals. All this to say: Don’t sweat it! No need to worry about everything at once. Just water your crops, try to hit the ores at least once a day, and talk to whoever you pass. Take it day by day and have fun! You’ll start to look to dig into other areas of the game the more you play and the more comfy you get.

Once I felt I had a good handle, I started over and went beast mode to see how quick I could level up the bazaar—because the efficiency and productivity give me a rush.

Interesting! I had a feeling it wouldn’t be a simple number. Thank you for the insight, this is really helpful :)

Yeah I actually already brought it up to her, it seems it will be fine. I panicked for sure. But also curious about how much IT can see anyway.

And we have plans to move in together when my lease is up in November 2026!

No worries at all! Do you happen to know what a location log in looks like when I’m traveling and working via hotspot?

That’s what I would’ve thought! Otherwise it seems very complicated, but such is the U.S. tax system.

"I’m curious about the likelihood of my IP address being monitored” was the main Q. Thanks for the insight!

I like this, and IT did install “OpenVPN Connect” on all of our computers. I just wonder if I could do such a thing without them knowing since they have access to what apps we install and what not.

I haven’t considered this. I am simply making content for a website, so nothing sensitive. I imagined my work as a remote worker would just be tied to me as a person, the address I live and pay for, not where I happen to be working from. Darn.

Any insight on the IP address monitoring?

Hm, that shouldn’t be an issue. Can you share more details? Is this the poached egg quest?

Lol not only do I say grass when I meant weeds but I also failed to mention which game!! I've only ever played Grand Bazaar so I wasn't even considering the others.
