Darya

[MyCurrentObsession]

So I decided to splurge and buy Darya since it looked like the rewards would be worth it. I didn't expect her to require gilding jobs or hobbies for every level up. I've been playing the game for a while now but I'm still learning the ins and outs so I just want to clarify - if I reset for the bonus, will the things I gilded stay that way? Otherwise that's a huge drain on my resources. And does anyone know how many diamonds I'll ACTUALLY get from fully leveling Darya since you have to spend so many along the way? It's hard to be excited about how much she gives you when you then have to turn around and spend somewhere between 20-40 per level.

Yes, a soft reset (the regular resets you should have been doing all along) will keep all of your gilds.

In total, it's something like 260 diamonds net profit in the end, plus the 50 you got as a purchase bonus. But you also just make a ton of progress much quicker than you otherwise would, and all of those diamonds add up too (though you'll want to spend that on the speed boosts in the store, x64 twice and x2 once to max it out, assuming you don't already have any).

And obviously, when gilding, do it on the jobs that will benefit your overall progress the most. The top 4 in order (assuming max level): Zamphoney Driver, Planter, Digger, Space - otherwise your currently best paying ones.

Just gild all jobs for Darya requirements. If you have winter job along with 2 DLC ones, you should not gild 3 lowest income job.

Thanks for confirming. I figured the gilds would carry over but I wanted to be sure before I just went ahead with a reset and potentially lost a bunch of diamonds. That will also definitely speed up my game beyond the reset bonus too, so I guess that's actually a really nice requirement for her rank ups.
