If I understand this correctly, it looks like the only way to get 2nd affection gifts is by forging. The forging conversation rate is, essentially 1/20. That is, you can get 20 girls to full normal affection with the amount it takes to get 1 girl to full second affection. Maybe the long-time players have all their girls at full affection but for now, the 20 flower gems for getting a girl to full affection seem far more useful than burning gifts in a forge in an attempt to get a girl to full second affection.

Are the extra stats on the one girl really worth the loss of 18 flower gems?

Am I mistaken?

Just don't worry about it for now. There are far better ways to get the second affection gifts later on. The exchange rate is extremely expensive for almost anyone but a long-time F2P player.
(Long term players who collect a lot of girls from deals dont have as many gifts as you would think.)

Best advice is to ignore this blooming thing and just continue maxing your Flower Knights' normal affection. You'll probably find Flower Gems much more useful than the extra stats on just one girl. Plus, I don't want to see my girls stats bugging out since there's still some bugs that aren't fixed.

I don't even know how to spend Flower Gems to raise affection

But yeah, doubling up on ^ posts, just wait for the upcoming updates for easy 2nd affection gifts. The Forge is for players like myself who needed to find a way to get rid of their excess gifts.

It IS very nice seeing those stats though, they effectively raise a Knight up a rarity tier; 5* have Rainbow-level stats and 6* become super stars. I haven't seen any bugs regarding my stats; my Water Lily is in top form and now awaits Blooming (and I can't let anyone have a stronger Water Lily than me)!

The only thing right now is you can't view their love scenes; it'll proceed to start the scene, but immediately back out to a Nazuna dialogue, who comments that "something special must happened," or something along those lines.

The only way you could is by burning them for stam to run the Searching for Gifts mission then forging those gifts, which I really do not recommend unless a) you're swimming in FGs and b) so desperate to get a girl with full 2nd affection that you can't wait until you can just buy the gifts in a later update.

But as everyone else has said thus far, just carry on and ignore the second affection for now.

like everyone said, the older players have gifts to burn

for you new players just focus on lvl your gurls - there will be chances to get 2nd affection items once they fix stuf and add maps to grind for it

I didn't know we had a forging system if it was in DMM - I never used forging in DMM

Cute Cake - Saki, Expensive Stuffed Toy - Saki, Quality Book - Saki, and Superior Sapphire - Saki will raise a character's second affection. These were obtained via Ficara's event during the bouquet gacha. There's a glitch where you can use them to raise a character's first affection due to how second affection wasn't added during the event. After the September 19th Patch, it was fixed so you can now use those gifts for second affection only.

For the foraging, it's a gift dump if you happen to have RNGesus trolling you with gifts you don't need. For my case, it's jewels. I already maxed out all the Flower Girls that like jewels and have 200 pearls from gatherings/dailies/etc...

There will be more ways to obtain Saki gifts to raise your girl's second affection later.

You mean all who bought those have been given the same amount? Would that mean they took back the additionals?
