No point in doing the character quests before you have evolved the girls and gotten a better team. The final one requires the girl to be evolved and is the only one that gives anything worthwhile.

Got one more question before I set off to farm the 2-1 map: When doing farming in the daily missions, is it better to do the 50 stam map or the 80 stam map?

I've got a question too. Why are people advocating 2-1 over 1-3? Comparing them, 2-1 is only marginally better in terms of Gold/EXP efficiency which doesn't seem worth the extra 3 stamina it takes. I haven't noticed a higher Gift rate or SG spawn rate on 2-1 either back when I was doing it.

Aside from that though, I second the suggestion to try spamming the Beginner Secret Garden over the Manyu Dailies. They're not actually very efficient unless you get really lucky, especially not at lower levels.

Here's a trick you might not have noticed. Your helper squad from your friend lacks power right? This is because the helper squad's max lvl is capped at YOUR highest level character (not sure if this cap applies post evolution though, since I leveled my evo-ed girls to a decent level already).

So focus on one girl and get her to at least mid 40s first.

Have we confirmed this? I know it's been brought up a few times but I never seem to have an issue with helper squads. When I was in my 20's even helper squads seemed to have a boost of sorts that made them better than some of other squads. Sometimes even my main squad which would mean the helper squad scales down once you hit a certain level or scales up until you hit a certain level. I think we need more data.

If it was removed, then I don't know, but I paid attention to my helpers (I weed out quite often during the first few days). Their highest level was always the same as my highest level. I noticed this because the early levels are blazing fast (remember to spam those gathers), it was too much of an coincidence that everyone on my list leveled up in sync with me. This might've been a way to prevent powerleveling alts with a main account.

??? I don't think that's true, when my girls were level 40, I could use the help of people whose girls were at level 50. I don't know if it's capped at a certain point but it surely doesn't apply in evolutions.

It's capped at the highest level girl you have in your team. Basically any friend helper that is higher than your girls gets nerfed down to your level. Note that it only goes by level, not evolution level. So a level 50 evolved character won't be nerfed unless you have no level 50 non-evolved or evolved in your team.

Okay I kinda made two more accounts just so I can redo what I did and actually wait for 50 flower gems rather than spend them like crazy. Here is what I got based on 4*+ units:
Alt 1: Convallaria, St. Paulia, and Cepha Lanthera
Alt 2: St. Paulia and Toad Lily
I'm kinda leaning towards alt. 1 has more higher rarity characters, but alt. 2 because it has two characters with quests atm. Any thoughts?

I also have another alt account that I was levelling up with my main account with Toad Lily, but like my main one, I did not save up to 50 gems before rolling gacha.
