Windlyn' first pet sitting business!

Vivianne, sadly I haven't been taking care of my pets so the best person to ask would be someone new who is actually caring for a pet.

I think someone ( ) helped AKuyi level a pet up before and they were very happy so you just might get a business going!

Lemon - I’m experimenting and trying to calculate how to maximize experience gained per feather.

I want to see more pets around! That is my main motivation.

But first, I need to make sure I don’t accidentally kill any...

[Lemon Cheesecake]

At least there is a way to rectify it if you do!

[Vivianne]

True!

My ursus is about to hatch, so i’ll be able to more efficiently test soon. Thanks for the holiday immortality potion!

Post on here what you find out in case someone else wants to know!

[Vivianne]

Hunger (I prefer calling it fullness) does seem to go down 1 point every 12 hours!

Cleanliness - 1 point/hour

Happiness- 1 point/hour

Comfort - 1 point/hour

Good to know! I wonder if it changes based on pet type and/or individual pet?

Once it's figured out, it would be a great addition to the pet guide or have a link to the thread with all of this precious info!

[Vivianne]

I hope it’s the same for all of them! Making them different would make the hourly script really complicated.

My ursus hatched, so in about two hours we may find out.

Edit: rats, it’s at least different across pets. My ursus lost a hunger point after about 30 minutes. The previous were stats for my fish.

Edit 2: nope! They’re the same, I think! The script seems to run on the hour, which is why I got confused.

Oh, so you're automating it. I understand you using one, but it kinda defeats the purpose/fun of the pets feature. Hopefully, when you have it sorted out, it doesn't get shared if you understand what I'm saying (it would violate the TOS).

[Vivianne]

I’m not automating it. I’m guessing how Di programmed it.

Edit: the decreases are not on the hour, but the time intervals appear mostly correct.

[galled]

Got it!

Carry on!

[Vivianne]

I pseudocode in my head for fun. I like thinking about how stuff works without the risk of breaking anything!

...plus I’m forever on an iPad and that is not conducive to typing a lot with any accuracy.

The pet care items show care points and experience points on the screen where you select them. I’ll transcribe the data and break it down to exp/feather.

oh oops, didn't know we couldn't share the cool down, sorry.

[Vivianne]

Hope we can share this! Trial and error...
