EDIT: What the... this.. is an insult!  This lady is asking to sell me something... at 500% markup!  I cannot afford that.
That's the postcard girl.  What did you expect?

Try something darker to scare the munchkins away?

Gaudy only attracts rich people. Dark only attracts strange people. Light only attracts "good" people.

In other words, if you want the most customers, stick with the very neutral.

Atmosphere is affected not only by your decorations, but your stock as well, with different items giving a different bonus.

Edit: what you put in your windows affects who comes as well. For fun times, put ONLY sweets in your windows. You'll see a funny surprise :)

I did that, but with only cakes once, when cakes were red. I think I got 20 housewives and girls walking around the store. xD

LMAO!

If you ever get the notice "book reading has experienced a surge..." Go out and buy AS MANY books as you possibly can. Then stock your entire store with ONLY books. It's awesome!

These things usually happen when you receive a news item regarding Housewives/man/girls where they are rabid about a certain item. Ie I had one where housewives were asking for all my treasure.

Some play tips.

there may be a connection between my woman/girl-surge and holy rating.
ripped off all the ruins stuff (lol i thought this ruins stuff should be plain or maybe a little evil-ish, turns out its all holy... should've asked the fairy earlier :D) and the customers evened out again.


anyone else not exactly liking the dungeons?
I think they're really too much work for little gain. You may find some cool stuff, hey, i got a items worth 40k in 10 lvls of the amber garden once, but somehow it's still meh. I blame the inventory management. Can't see if stuff on the ground is +x without picking it, can't get stuff out of chests when the inventory is full... all for the next +0 wooden bracelet.
Also, bosses don't seem to drop anything. There's an option to bossrun, so where's the effing drops? Bossrun jade way, receive charred lizard that drops every few gnolls, gg. 20 items is a horrible restriction for fusions that at times want 10 ingredients, and that's just lvl1.
I've only seen 2 boss drops in about 20 fights, that's a slime liver and a crab shell.

I think all the near pin's are static. I'll start a list.

Edit: Never mind near pin's aren't static.

well that's odd, my little girl has near pin bonuses at 100-103 and I've had a few just boni too. Also, they vary. I can get them about 30% of the time, but the same value% won't get the bonus on another item - or even on the same.

Near pins are random.

There's a japanese walkthrough somewhere but it's a bit outdated.This english version has more stuff.

In any case:

Actually, once you get to a certain point, dungeons give some neat items. But still, I do it mostly for fun and materials.

What I do mostly is exploit the low/high price changes. I put all blue items in the vending machine, since they get sold at base price and haggle only the red items.

Demo was quite fun.  I'll probably go buy the full version.

Incidentally, I managed to clear the first dungeon without additional food (food drops and levelups ftw).  So I was basically hawking stuff to Louie that he'd got all on his own :/.

I also didn't notice the pun until Tear pointed it out, since I assumed the C was soft :-\.
