I'm rather new to the actual game part of this game and I feel rather stuck. Can someone please help? π
From what I hear, the general strategy is to upgrade your dorm mates in odd tiers. T1 > T3 > T5, etcetera. Also important, keep your tutor bonus maxed. The formula is: Your total combined stats x 15. (strength + intelligence)x15 That's how much you need to invest in hiring tutors to be maxed bonus for max cash. That should be all you need to know.
Here are some guides that I think are necessities for beginners, in no particular order: Guide for New Players Updated Guide to PvP Guide to All PIMD Parties How to Avoid Scammers Guide to the Dorm Tower [Guide] Extra Credit Guide to Clubs Additionally, I recommend reading through the Game FAQ (accessed on your home screen by pressing the cog βοΈ icon in the upper left and then selecting 'Help'). This post has a link to other helpful threads and guides, but the ones that at least I consider to be essential are linked above.
At lower stats you can sell your stat items for chibis/bentos because you don't really need them till you're at higher stats where farming might be more common. Use your bentos/chibis to get yourself into cat/dog clubs, particularly during X2 X3 X5 cash promos (Black Friday starts in a few days, big cash bonus ahead) you can also sell your bentos for DVP because at lower levels the cash makes a big difference. Don't focus on stat items or furniture till later in the game.
Follow the standard playbook for a while. Upgrading, building tb, collecting items, making friends and networking, visiting many clubs. Then Set your win conditions and goals.
