Is there a best time to Reset Boost?

[Anutha_1]

Tried doing a search of "reset" and 306 pages were returned and looked through the first 10 pages of results without it really being answered. Some say it's really up to player preference but I'm thinking logically there has to be somewhat of a best time to do so honestly?

My current Reset Boost is x64.04 and my Bonus Add is currently at +15.68 because I was initially planning on resetting when my Bonus Add got to 64 so I could take advantage of the in-game Achievement bonus resets at 64, 128, 264, 512, etc. until reaching the 2048 max but it just seems so slow at this point.

Is there a standard when one should logically be resetting because you can reach a certain threshold with the early girls rather quickly each time before it comes to a crawl once a certain girl is reached?

I'm even starting to wonder if there is a script program I could utilize that I could just download and set up to run (think this game engine uses Unity?) that would just auto run the first girl's prompts and then auto soft reset each time after reaching 0.5 and just put it on a loop to run for a day or whatever to see how quickly that would get me to 2048, if this was even possible to do? Maybe like a VB script possibly? I'm running the game on my phone though, not on computer, so more likely even less possible, I'm thinking.

EDIT: Also read that having two certain girls (Just buy Darya and Catara) makes things much easier and quicker on this front apparently.

Darya makes things easier because she gives you a metric crapton of diamonds that you can use for gilding; Catara makes things easier (or at least quicker) due to her speed dating ability.

As for the best time to reset boost, I would say it's whenever you hit a wall - like when you personally feel that the money and affection you're earning will take too long to meet the expected requirements. It's far too easy to get hung up on numbers in games such as Crush Crush.

Do you know if it's possible to obtain either one of those two through free means, so thinking LTE or are both only available paying real money?

Waiting for higher reset boosts and deeper 'walls' is less tedious, but takes more time. If you really want to increase your Reset Boost as fast as possible, the amount of boost you want to reset at changes the further you get as the 'wall' you can hit changes from timers going faster. You want to reset at small, yet reasonable intervals. Like, "how far can I get in 30 seconds, 90 second, 2 minutes?" and such.

I remember I had resets going in seconds in very very small increments when I was a new, F2P only player and I managed to hit max boost in like 2-3 sessions. It was tedious but nothing some good tunes can't drown out and well worth being at max F2P speed.

There are scripts out there I'm sure, and you can even make your own to fine tune and automate the process, but it really isn't too bad to do manually.

As for paid girls - Darya first, Charlotte or Suzu second for those extra highest paying jobs aside from Zamphoney Driver (can skip them if you have Zamphoney Driver). Catara is more of a late game convenience and isn't necessary, she can't do anything about walls you hit. Can even argue that getting as many of the paid girls as you can since the more you have at Lover status, the more affection gains are multiplied for all girls.

Darya and Catara are both paid-only characters. Darya will easily make up for it in diamonds, you'll have almost everything gilded by the time you're done with her and have max paid-speed boost with some spare change.

I wasn't planning on spending real money so most likely it's default girls only but this statement piqued my interest. Are you saying that certain girls introduce certain specific jobs as well that wouldn't otherwise be available in the base vanilla game? If so, I didn't realize this until now.

For Reset Boost you want to get all possible girls to lovers asap then reset.

If lucky you can get some LTE girls (Don't depend on phone flings or PES girls because they are designed with late game in mind by a lot).

Remember to listen to the base girls voiceline though. You will never hear all the stages once you get max boosts.

I've really still no idea what this gilded means even though I see it coming up time to time in posts I'm reading about the game.

I'm up close to 80 diamonds and I was thinking of using them for the additional 10 time slots in store purchase but now that I'm seeing reaching the Lover status with the girls on the phone app requires 10 Diamonds to unlock each one, I think I'll just use them for each girl instead actually. I'm assuming soft resetting each time won't require me to respend an additional 10 Diamonds each time on the phone as well upon rereaching the Lover status each time?

Gilding is spending diamonds on your hobbies and jobs. There's a little symbol you can click beside them to permanently increase their outputs (speed in the case of hobbies). These stay even after soft resets.

Correct, there are three jobs locked behind paid or LTE girls. You can wait long enough to get them for free in an event but may be able to purchase them for diamonds in the shop. Sometimes all LTE girls go up for sale in the shop.

Two of the jobs are similar / better paying than the best normal job. One of the jobs completely outclasses the output of every other job in the game.

I highly recommend you don't use your F2P diamonds on anything but paid-speed boosts first. Max that out ASAP.

Not sure what PES here stands for? LTE is limited time events, correct?

"Remember to listen to the base girls voiceline though. You will never hear all the stages once you get max boosts."

Only voicelines I've heard so far was from the skater girl during one of our phone exchanges. Is that what you are referring to here? Read that certain different versions of the game offer different level of voiced dialogue by the girls so not certain if this is accurate and if I'm playing a version that has the least voiced dialogue?

All the same, once you get max bonuses (reset bonus or gilded bonuses as well here as I've really no idea about the gilded bonuses at this time still in as all honesty) but wasn't aware that reaching them would lock us out of voiced content so that's good to know now.

PE is parallel event. LTE is limited time event (the rewards you claim with tokens in the top right). Granted I play on PC and know nothing of the phone version.

What he's saying is once your overall speed is boosted high enough, you'll speed through girls to instant high level/lover status so quickly that you won't be able to hear a lot of their voice acting or read a lot of their dialog lines anymore.

"paid-speed boosts first" are the same thing as the gilded bonuses?

If so, is it better to focus on upgrading the hobbies or the jobs first? Hobbies seems to be the slower of the two. Just haven't used my diamonds yet on either the hobbies or jobs because I was afraid clicking on them wouldn't ask me to confirm first before taking my diamonds?

Okay, duh on my part. I totally forgot the daily LTE's count as LTE here. I just seen this most recent Ginger & Wasabi event as being a LTE when it falls under the PSE header instead really.

Thanks for all the clarification folks. It's much appreciated.

These are paid-speed boosts: Image.[i.imgur.com]

They stack and multiply with Reset Boost for a total of a maximum possible speed of 16,777,216x

The best way to hit max is x64 + x64 + x2 and you'll be maxed out.

Awww man, my 80 are useless until I get to 180 then.

So should I save for those first or should I use them on the little gilded diamonds next to each job and hobby first in the meantime?

If I do use them on each specific job and hobby (gilded,) are those permanent bonuses after each soft reset?

How about after a full reset? Like why would we ever want to full reset for that matter?

[Mackenzie]

Top priority with diamond spending is speed boost to the max.

Buying Darya will give you enough diamonds to do that and also you'll gild most of your stuff in the process. If you only ever pay for one thing, get Darya, and the sooner you get her, the better - Since it affects your overall speed to get those boosts going ASAP.

Dunno anything about hard resetting except that some things stay 'unlocked' on your account.
