2. Personal Test Notes
Marcus: Forest theme is the obvious best. 80,000G for 1,425 effective comfort. 17.8 comfort per gold. Royal is 3x more expensive for only 26% more comfort.
Lin: The cap is +50 Affinity per visit. Beyond ~500 comfort, returns are zero. Forest hits the cap easily.
Sofia: The Twilight theme is the most "aesthetic" but worst ratio. Skip unless you love the look.
3. Forest Theme Build (Best Bang-for-Buck)
- Oak Throne (Otto 100): 50 comfort, 12,000G.
- Forest Rug: 20 comfort, 1,200G.
- Pine Shelf: 25 comfort, 1,500G.
- Oak Table: 30 comfort, 2,000G.
- Forest Lamp: 25 comfort, 1,800G.
- Wooden Chair (4x): 80 comfort, 8,000G.
- Forest Bed: 80 comfort, 5,000G.
- Tree Stump Decor: 10 comfort, 500G.
- Forest Mirror: 20 comfort, 1,500G.
- Storage Chest (8x): 200 comfort, 12,000G.
- Total base comfort: 950.
- Effective (x1.5 theme): 1,425.
- Total cost: ~80,000G (with Otto Affinity 100 prices).
4. Affinity Cap Math
Each NPC visit gives Affinity based on home comfort:
- 0-50 comfort: +1 Affinity per visit.
- 50-100 comfort: +2 Affinity.
- 100-200 comfort: +3 Affinity.
- 200-500 comfort: +4 Affinity.
- 500+ comfort: +5 Affinity (capped).
So Forest theme (1,425 effective) hits the cap. Royal (1,800) also caps. No benefit to going beyond 500 effective comfort.
5. Pro Tips
- Build Forest first. Hits Affinity cap for minimum cost.
- Use Storage Chests for cheap comfort. 200 comfort for 12,000G is the best ratio.
- Max Otto before building. Affinity 100 prices are 30% off all furniture.
- Don't overspend on aesthetics. Comfort is the only stat that matters for Affinity gain.
- Use the Wanderer's Affinity 100 piece (secret recipe). Adds 100 comfort for ~5,000G.
- Theme bonus multiplies total comfort. 1.5x on 950 = 1,425. Big difference.
- Cozy theme is the cheapest "good" 1.3x theme. 100,000G for 845 effective. Hits cap too.
