100% merge them - in the long run spending anytime now levelling a 2nd copy let alone the mannys and prezzies to get affection will be a huge drain

Unless she has op skill

If you're just starting, and don't have many 5* or even 4* girls yet to fill your roster, then it might be beneficial to keep the dupes seperate for a while. Designate one as the "main dupe" and the other as secondary right away.
-Don't level the secondary dupe beyond lvl 40 (unevolved). It's really a waste of money to level her any further than that.
-Feed the secondary dupe to the primary dupe not too long after you evolved the primary dupe. Definitely before the primary dupe reached lvl 30 evolved.
-Don't feed ampys to the secondary, only manyus

Some of the leveling you did to the secondary will carry over to the primary when you merge the two, it's really very similar to merging two low quality rings resulting in a leveled low quality ring, which improves a high quality ring better than a non-leveled low quality ring would. But, even though you invested a dozen manyus in the secondary, it won't give the primary as much experience as an ampy would. So to still see some noticable increase in experience, you really want to merge when the primary is still relatively low leveled.

The nice thing about evolving the primary is, that it will restart at lvl 1, so it gets back down to a low level, and the merging will be more noticable in experience, while you still benefitted from having two good units for a short while.

Hi, I just recently started this game a few days ago and I have to say thanks for the guide! It has been insightful for me as it was kind of hard finding a Beginner Guide at first.

My question is, Why would I choose to farm 2-1 over something like 5-4 / 4-3? Experience-wise, the latter is better, isn't it?

2-1 has the better rewards overal (experience, coins and seeds) per point of stamina used. 5-4 and 4-3 cost a bit more stamina, and can be run less often when you start out with a full stamina bar.
What's generally ideal, is trying to get 3 medals in the highest map you can handle for which you didn't get the three medals yet, to grab the Flower Gem reward, and at the end of your session, dump the remainder of your stamina into 2-1.
Notable exception to this rule are the 11-X maps, which are RNG-hell. You wouldn't be the first not to bother with 3-medaling those and move onto 12-1 (which is a good farm spot again) as soon as possible.

Are Flower Gems supposed to be obtainable EVERY DAY in the daily quests?
For the last week, every time the daily quest renews, the beginner and intermediate quests are marked already completed with 3 medals and 2 flower gems received ... even tho I haven't even started the quests.
I haven't been able to receive any flower gems from daily quests since before xmas since I don't do the 80 stamina advanced quests. Is this normal, a glitch, or a punishment for having 2 accounts?

No. That's why it's so hard to get gems later on. No consistent source besides new events and the occasional 2 FG/10 days.

Daily Quests gives life crystals, dude

Flower Gems for daily logins usually happens twice per 10 days. There are times when you get a Flower Gem loaded stamp card.

Just play and the enjoy the game at your own pace. Hoard those Flower Gems.

Just bumping this thread with a very tiny detail:

When you gather, the stamina timer resets to 3 minutes again.
Effectively, this means that if you go gather when there's just 5 seconds left on the stamina timer, that you effectively lost 2 minutes and 55 seconds of stamina regeneration.
If the stamina ticks over while you're gathering, you may notice that stamina shown (you can just see it above the gather screen) + stamina gathered does NOT add up.

So, to get the most out of your stamina and gathering practices, start your gather right after your stamina ticked over. On a daily basis, this can save you several minutes of stamina regeneration (upto 8 points worth of stamina if you do the A-hunting daily). No, it's not that much, but it's something.
