Can someone explain to me why I don’t receive cash when I attack with noms during a vday series party.
Because your stats are small, you could try buying “pots” attack items from the store to help successfully win cash hitting the noms bars
Asking how many drops needed to get the side story Avi as well where story will we get it 2nd or 3rd?
It's at the end of the 3rd side story, after collecting 3k drops (Valentine's Gestures). You can find more information in the Stories Tiers and Rewards thread.
Is the alternate hunt bed/couch going to be a reward somewhere since its not in the store or have I missed it somewhere?
It is available for direct purchase (199 ECs) in the furniture store. I did have to scroll a bit before I saw it though -- it'll have a timestamp countdown on it.
