User blog:Switty/New (best?) method to gain max XP after the capping of Scooter and Bike Stores!

i have already mentioned this on the canoe store page. however, i thought it would get more attention as a blog post, so I decided to (finally*!!) create an account after over a year of just being an anonymous 'wikia contributor!'

other than the last paragraph, this is intended for those who have yet to reach the level necessary to purchase scooter/bike stores or those who have recently reached this level, but were unable to purchase a reasonable amount of them prior to them being capped at 15.

1)  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.

2)  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, and put the fine china/comfy cushions into storage).  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!

3)  once the player starts to get close to gold depletion (as they will lose gold daily rather than make it), 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.

*the short recipe for the village bistro makes about 7-9k less XP per hour (~28k XP per hour is still considerable though!) than the the fine china/comfy cushions stores. this being said, on the short recipe, it makes approximately 1100 gold per hour whereas the fine china/comfy cusions stores make next to nothing per hour. moreover, there is no market situation in which the cost of fruit for these recipes will EVER go above the breakeven point - they are ALWAYS money makers. on the otherhand, the fine china and comfy cushions stores will have certain market situations in which they will be profit losers.*

*in my personal opinion, it may be faster to use all village bistro or apple stores (on the short recipe apple stores make ~400 more gold profit per hour than village bistro stores, but make ~10k less XP per hour!) to reaccumulate gold. however, as i previously mentioned, neither will make as much XP per hour for any recipe in comparison to the fine china/comfy cushions stores. so here, one has to choose one of two options: 1) grind out more XP with fine china/comfy cushions stores, OR 2) grind out more gold with the village bistro/apple stores.*

4)  finally, when the player has again accumulated a comfortable amount of gold, repeat the whole procedure (use canoe stores until gold depletion, build gold back up with fine china/comfy cusions/village bistro/apple stores, ad infinitum!).

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 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/accumulate XP at a similar rate to those who have many scooter stores.

lastly, to those who have reached level 70, or who happen to have a vast number of scooter stores/gold, this method could also 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
