Talk:Canoe Store/@comment-75.166.222.170-20130306093201

as with the contributor directly below me, i agree that those looking to get to current max level of 70 should start to buy this store since the scooter and bike stores are capped at 15 now.

i'd suggest buying the max of 15 of the scooter and bike stores, and then purchase as many fine china stores as possible as these are not capped. they make slightly less XP on all the recipes than comfy cushions, but make more profit per hour on the short and long recipes, and since it will now take longer to get to max level, i expect most people would be trying to grind out as many short recipes per day as possible, as they make the most XP per hour.

once the player accumulates a considerable amount of gold, i suggest replacing the fine china stores/comfy cusions stores with all canoe stores (*keep using the scooter/bike stores). on the short recipe, the canoe store actually makes more XP per hour (~10k) than even the scooter stores! this comes with a caveat, however: the canoe store is essentially a profit loss for all recipes. hence, as i initially said, this can only be done once the player has lots of gold!

once the player starts to get close to gold depletion, they should then remove the canoe stores, replacing them with the fine china/comfy cusions stores in storage. *they could also replace them with either apple stores or village bistro stores (as these make much more profit per hour than either the fine china or comfy cushions stores). however, these stores do not make as much XP per hour for any recipe, so there is a bit of a trade off.

finally, when the player has again accumulated a comfortable amount of gold, the whole procedure should be repeated.

i was lucky, as i reached level 70 in october, prior to the cap on scooter stores (i have about 150 of them). i feel bad for those who were unable to reach level 46 before the cap, because it appears that it will take much much much much longer to get to max level for these players. however, i believe that this method would be the quickest path for these players to reach max level.

lastly, those who have reached level 70, or who happen to have a vast number of scooter stores/gold, this method could be used to grind out more XP (in hopes that tinyco will eventually release more levels). once a player has reached gold levels near the reverse gold bug (what is it?  1.2 billion or so?), they could replace all scooter stores with canoe stores, and  grind out as many short recipes as possible, until gold levels had again been depleted. the canoe stores, paired with the level 50+ stores would make the most XP possible (*using short recipes only).

to all those bummed about the cap on scooter stores, i hope this helps! may the dino gods be forever in your favor! <3
