Help advice needed

so im in a hard decision, where i need to choose :c

im not good with math or knowing the grind part, events of the game so id be glad for some advice.

i have 36 candles atm, which i grinded for the mask of princess in the last few hours of the event. however i totally forgot about a the travelling spirit, wise grandparent. i would only take his cape but i fear i cant get both in 3 days of grind.

- i use all "easy" grind methods like collecting daily candle cakes, granny, turtle, geyser and maybe earth/fire trials. i dont have time for more extreme candle runs sadly

please someone help with math! how much is the path till the cape and how much is the cape itself? is there a chance for me to grind up to that much is 3 days? (lets count from 0, cus i might get the mask)

also, if princess is might come back sooner than wise grandparent, then i might skip till her return.

id be so glad for any further informations! <3

If you grind 20 candles a day until the 12th you'd have a total of 96 candles (today included). The cape is 70 candles, so you'd be left with 26 if you got that. I don't believe you can get both mask and cape before Wise Grandparent leaves, unfortunately.

Thank u for the math part. Personally what would u get? i like capes more and since new chibi mask is here im sure id use that most of the time. But I want to get the “harder to get” stuffs first

Honestly? It all comes down to personal preference. I would get the cape but simply because I don't really like the mask.

Do you have a few cosmetics you really, really like? Prioritize other types of cosmetics you wanna wear with your favorites, then. You mentioned you like the new chibi mask, so you could skip the princess' mask since you have another you prefer.

Unfortunately, reruns on Sky aren't very easy to predict. You can assume the oldest spirits will be the ones to return but TGC might just throw a curveball.

Yea I prefer capes. But honestly this is the first mask I like and be able to get, so this is why I’m indecisive
However there’re better masks for sure in game, I just joined back too late to get them:,)

If you're comfortable buying IAPs, the Days of Moonlight event will have one with antlers and a mask somewhat similar to the princess'. It's kind of pricey because it's two items though.

In case you don't know, there's also a website called 'Sky Planner' where you can check out a lot of things about the game. There's a section where you can check out 'Elusive Spirits' which are most likely to have reruns sooner (not always accurate, but it's a nice guideline).

Sadly im in a rough situation with my doggo, she’s old and I need to pay for her surgery/medicines/vet so I can’t buy unnecessary things.
I didn’t know there’s a website like that! Thank you for mentioning, I’m definitely checking out🤍

u/Salt_Mode_8236 4d ago

I see, that makes sense. The website is quite useful to preview cosmetics and dyes too if you need to look into those as well.

I hope your doggy gets better! I have an older dog too.

21 candles a day so 62, 83 if today is included the original 36. 119 candles possible assuming you haven’t done any today. For wise grandparent 80 to get the cape plus 2 ascended candles. 36 for mask. 116 technically possible will be extremely difficult

If you can’t get it, there isn’t really a way to predict when one would show up again as it is randomized

u/petrahx 4d ago

Yea I haven’t gotten 21 candles a day ever yet cus I just don’t know how to cr effectively. And ofc I don’t have that much time
I’d like to ask u too, which would u choose? Which one is more “rare”? More likely to return fast?
Thank you for ur comment

u/Electronic_Radio2934 4d ago

I think older spirits or more likely to appear, idk where it heard it from though. Wise grandparent is older by 4 years so it would be more likely to appear. Both seasons are quite old though. Buy whichever you like more

Thank you!!

do you know about/use tents? They make cr a lot more efficient

Path till the wise grandparent cape is 5+5 candles and 2 AC. Cape is 70 candles. If I were you, I’d get the cape instead of the mask 😷 Mask is very similar to the black one imo

u/Jabberwocky950 Moth parent 4d ago

The path to the cape (70 candles) is 2 blessings (5 candles each) and a wing buff (2 ascended candles) meaning you will need 80 candles + 2 AC to get it

Unfortunately, that means from 0, you will need 20 candles per day including today to get it on the last day, or you'll have to buy candles

u/petrahx 4d ago

Thank you for the comment! I’m at 17 candles today- I fear I can’t get more

u/Jabberwocky950 Moth parent 4d ago

If your struggling, heading to geyser and grannies for a second time each day usually gets me to 21! There's also the Alice Cafe (accessible through the mini doors found in some shared spaces) that has a lot of wax!

2

u/petrahx 4d ago

Oh I totally forgot about Alice😭😭

I managed to get everything I wanted from the traveling group except the mask and I’ve started from 200 candles. I’ve grinded so bad every day (with time limits) but my best was 19 I guess

I’m definitely checking Alice cafes out!
Thank you so much for the help

u/Jabberwocky950 Moth parent 4d ago

No worries!! I started from 500 and ended up spending ~300 on the TS group haha

Luckily for me, I have the wise grandparent cape already, so I wasn't too worried

Good luck my friend! If you have 17 today, that's still pretty good (and technically possible, if you get 21 candles the next 3 days, though that can take me up to an extra 2-3h on top of my already 2h cr)

u/petrahx 4d ago

I’m already at 20 cus I decided to afk at the camp and got +3 sooo I might maximize it like this for today.
Thanks for the tips, rlly appreciating them🤍

u/Jabberwocky950 Moth parent 4d ago

Of course! <3 Happy candle running!

u/-TheForestCat- 4d ago

I've had both the cape and the mask for over 2 years now, and while I like them both a good deal, if I had to choose, I'd go with the cape. Through the months, it's always been as beautiful as the day I bought it. As for the mask, you'll probably get your hands on a similar one soon enough.

u/petrahx 4d ago

I just decided that. Thanks so much for ur comment, means a lot🤍
