Danmaku match
- Thereis no favor lost or hatemarks due danmaku match attemt, also you can unlock whole branch of achievments from it. After match winning you got a lot of favor with defeated character or do "other stuff".
- The basic idea is to roll dice and get the highest number.
- Both sides start with 3 lives, with the Combat ability determining how good the dice will be.
- At the start of each round the player can choose to dodge or attack (the player can only see their own dice value here).
- If the player avoids, HP will go down instead of lives.
- If the player's HP reaches 0, a life is lost. Once the player runs out of lives the game ends.
- If the player chooses to attack and they get a lower dice value then the opponent, the player loses a life.
- Only by rolling higher than the opponent can their lives go down.
- The player wins if the opponent's lives go down to 0 before the player's.
- Further, the player can also use bombs to increase their dice value, use it in critical situations.
- When the player loses a die roll, a bomb is automatically used.
Once the player loses a life the bombs are set to 2. Losing a life before using up all bombs is a waste.
After starting a round you get a message like:
You: 105 VS 5d22+16(Min:21, Max:126) :Larva
When enemy max dice are smaller than yous, you can use attack action.

Way to train
When food cooking and especially utilizing have a much effort - just spamming with food are a lot of routine, especially at lowest level.
Daily helping with cooking jobs are the key, unfortunely characters which have a job with this skill are not at every location groups. Best job to train cooking is a help to mystia in bamboo forest once per three days. You can spend infinite amount TSP to train skill at evening in human village, helping myuou with work.
Music
Play better music. Helps you do not catch a stone with a face while perform, some characters are most likely to do it.
Using that skill requires instrument. When piano are being used in your room - keyboard and others can be used in all locations. Violin requires more skill to perform.

Performance with other characters assist will greatly improve the effect. You can generate [Joy] gems to daily reliability limit just in one/two performances.

At lowest levels you can perform only when alone or when yearning or love characters with high enough of favor nearby.
Generated exp which you can recieved from performance depends with two things: 1.Amount of characters which have Music/Singing skills and can assist you in performance. They are lost 300 ENE per performance, so you need to feed them or train them to make more performances. 2.Your music collection: You can find more songs when defeat characters in danmaku or making them [Yearning/Love]. Also characters which enjoy the performance - gives you songs as well.

Chopping up the log gives you wood pieces which requiered by characters requests, but when you have enough them - you probably more want to bring a log to a sawmill, where you can sell log or for a price make planks of them. From size and type of the tree depends price for selling it and amount and types of planks. Sawmill in human willage gives more money for selling logs, but sawmill in YoukaiMountain(Foot) in same location when you chop the tree.
Planks are needed to have great discount when ordering furniture. Price of furniture are fair enough - discount for bying them makes sense, Furniture shop can be finded at human village.
For access to chop down trees at some locations you need a permission from to do that. Permission can be obtained with getting enough reliability with landowner.
Way to train
Great location for chopping is a YoukaiMountain(Foot) because here you can get different kind of trees for most expensive furniture.
Because STA/ENE or TSP drain is a disaster (probably be around 2k, more if rare one) the key to pick a big tree for chop. Better to skip a few trees than spend whole bunch of your strengh on small amount of EXP.

When using forage actions one of ingridient in forage list being picked for skill check.
When you get max amount type of resource (99) this resource will be excluded from forage, making anothey type of resources more available, especially rare ones.
Example: You aim for a frog. Misty lake have 6 other common resources, mountain lake got only 4. You can get more frogs from a mountain lake.
When more attemts of forage per day used, then less resources you obtain per once search. That's why recommended to use different locations. [Foraging List]
Way to train
At low level you need to find locations where you cannot find anything to forage, but got 3 ForagingExp and 1 knowlege instead. Then spend most TSP in forage. Best location for train in Dream world.

For growing garden you need to fetch water daily, You can buy a sprinkler from Nitori to make this process more easy. In rainy days your crops can be already watered without any action.
Every time when you plant a crop - you can use a fertilizer on it, which increase the final crop yeld later. Fertilizers can be crafted easily with mixing. Bone scraps you find in underworld and manure on fairy tree from hakurei shrine. In beginning of day you will be informed if your crops needs to be gathered with maximum yeld.
