Most of them have done the following that I've had done - when the bar was full or near full, I serve until my bar runs low. When it does, I just hunt for people with a level 10-12 rating and earn happy points until my bar slowly fills up again. You can just try making 50K happy points and stop for a day and continue on to the next for another 50K. BTW, I just earned the level 5 reward at the restaurant and the gold dress tonight! Very happy! ^^
Just went to the bar and found out the girl serving there was at Level 10! Turns out that there's 3 new types of drinks available when your mood is high - scotch on the rocks, a clear drink with ice, and a gold beer can with the giraffe on it. Each of these drinks cost 1200, but the happy points are at 300! Hitting level 12 with these drinks will net you 900 happy points with every round! This is best to use on people who really need the happy points and to buy those heavily happy-pointed dresses and other expensive stuff.
I keep seeing a 1000 point drink that nets 750 points and an 800 point drink that only nets 300, and I slacked on visiting the space so is it that you see these higher point drinks when your serving level goes up?
Depending on the server's mood, yes. 900 happy points seems to be the highest so far when he/she is at Level 12. I have not seen a 800 drink with 300 points, but that's good to know that the 300 point drinks would increase the money after each wall hanging reward.
Funny, I was just wondering exactly which drinks give the best bang-for-your-yen in terms of Happy Points. I was experimenting with the Standing Bar "Training Game" in the upstairs Club (not sure if there is any other training game, but that is the one I was testing). So If you are just beginning with a completely empty mood bar, it starts you as a Level 3. As you play and your mood increases, you reach Level 5 when the bar is 3/4 full, and become a Level 6 around 95%. At 100%!!! your happiness turns the bar fully yellow. Here's where I started to wonder about the happy points received vs. price of the menu items. In the Training Game, the beer can called 発泡 美人（生）or Foaming Beauty [raw], which is NOT the one with the Giraffe on it(?), costs 600 yen. At Level 3 it gives 60 hp and 78 hp at Level 6, but from a Level 12 server, 発泡 美人（生）provides 450 hp. The thing that surprised me is that there is another item on the drinks menu which also costs 600 yen, but only seems to yields 330 hp for the same price from a Level 12 server?! So that means the happiness yield of the drinks themselves seems to differ... huh? The scotch or martini or whatever-that-tipple-was for 800-1000 yen also yielded only 330 hp for me. Idk maybe inexperienced drinkers aren't able to handle the happiness provided by stronger drink. lol :tease:
I've seen the 800 drink with 120 points that yields 360 HP at LV 12. I generally do not select it because there will usually be a 600 drink with 150 points for up to 450 HP. The best ratio for the point levels seems to be 4:1 between the drink price and happy points (first and second numbers when selecting the drink). Many of them have this ratio and many of them are worse. I don't know if I've seen a better one. When I order my drinks, I always pick the highest price with that 4:1 ratio. The maximum HP yielded in the end has never exceeded 3/4 of the drink price for me, I do not believe. As far as I can tell, LV 12 provides a 3X multiplier for HP LV 11 - 2.5X multiplier LV 10 - 2.25X multiplier so on and so on... Are there any conditions or achievements that improve these stats? I haven't been playing there for long and only have the level 2 wall plaques so far.
http://translate.google.com/transla...u=www27.atwiki.jp/playstationhome&sl=ja&tl=en I found that page today, no idea about the requirements to level up still, just that each time I have to serve more rounds than the previous one. Edit: for some reason it won't let me link it directly but search for the game tab then game list and choose restaurant
Dan, the direct link for that page is PlayStation Home@Wiki - Text makes more sense if you use something other than Google to translate though.
I'd be happy to update the OP with information if someone wants to prepare an info list. I love this space and am learning more and more about it everyday.
my mate was so happy he got a job in a restaurant he said he " couldnt wait " when we challenged him and said if he couldnt wait why did he take the job, he just stared blankly back lol
I'm happy to report that I made my level 5 rank today at the bar this morning, thanks to Liza and Jo for helping me out. I'm planning on doing this again this afternoon and perhaps later tonight - making two or three serving sessions in each place for boosting for level 6 on each of the three. I know it's gonna be long, but having 50 rounds now on each and giving me time to see what new stuff I unlocked will be a great challenge.
I used to use the Paralink translator on FreeTranslation.com but I think their advanced options are no longer free. Babylon at translation.babylon.com is pretty good for Japanese. Actually the Google Translate page today looks different for that link I gave you. I think it's because google gives people the option to contribute better translations. Just now I made a new suggestion to translateおでん (大根) as "oden (daikon radish)". But could someone please tell me what kind of drink 山廃純米 できごころ is supposed to be? All I can figure with that one is that the first character says "Mountain". :dots:
Like not for a really long time to the US, it's bug city in there! I got a headache from the lights and the lag in the bar and I don't usually have issues with such things normally. 8(
Hey, that's great, congrats. You're saying, there's different achievement levels for the Bar game and the Club and the Oden soup house. One thing that's bothering me is that sometimes my happiness mood in the Club starts plummeting like a bomb, going down like a quarter-bar every few minutes. At first I tried getting served at the Bar to increase my mood rapidly but the servers must have noticed something was wrong. One of them even abruptly quit hosting and left the space and came back because he must have been trying to reboot his instance. Any idea what might be happening that might be changing the way the game works? I haven't tried serving myself yet.
This probably will help alittle. Sake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alot of sake put in different terms, such as process, location, ingredients, etc, so it gets really confusing. I have no idea how Granzella is going to pull this off when (or if) they localize this space. Probably they'll change the menu or just make it simplistic like beer, sake, etc without using the full name.
Sorry, I misspoke there. I actually knew it was sake rice wine just from the type of earthenware bowl it was served in. And I would love it if it were localized with the "original" names. What I had wanted to know was, what kind of fascinating poetic (or ironic) name did Granzella assign to this concoction? I'm pretty sure it isn't "Sincerely fanciful pure American mountain waste" !!!
I probably should have said more. The wiki page have the terms on it's page. Not sure if it has every single terms, but better than nothing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake#Varieties [TABLE="class: wikitable, width: 1"][TR][TD="bgcolor: #F2F2F2, align: center"]Special Designation[/TD][TD="bgcolor: #F2F2F2, align: center"]Ingredients[/TD][TD="bgcolor: #F2F2F2, align: center"]Rice Polishing Ratio[/TD][TD="bgcolor: #F2F2F2, align: center"]Percentage of Kōji rice[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Junmai Daiginjō-shu (純米大吟醸酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Pure rice, Very Special brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice[/TD][TD]Below 50%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Daiginjō-shu (大吟醸酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Very Special brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice, Distilled alcohol[SUP][note 1][/SUP][/TD][TD]Below 50%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Junmai Ginjō-shu (純米吟醸酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Pure rice, Special brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice[/TD][TD]Below 60%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Ginjō-shu (吟醸酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Special brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice, Distilled alcohol[SUP][note 1][/SUP][/TD][TD]Below 60%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Tokubetsu Junmai-shu (特別純米酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Special Pure rice)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice[/TD][TD]Below 60% or produced by special brewing method[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Tokubetsu Honjōzō-shu (特別本醸造酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Special Genuine brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice, Distilled alcohol[SUP][note 1][/SUP][/TD][TD]Below 60% or produced by special brewing method[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Junmai-shu (純米酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Pure rice)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice[/TD][TD]Below 70%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Honjōzō-shu (本醸造酒[SUP]?[/SUP], Genuine brew)[/TD][TD]Rice, Kōji rice, Distilled alcohol[SUP][note 1][/SUP][/TD][TD]Below 70%[/TD][TD]Not less than 15%[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Yamahai (山廃) is a simplified version of the kimoto method, introduced in the early 1900s. Yamahai skips the step of making a paste out of the starter mash. That step of the kimoto method is known as yama-oroshi, and the full name for yamahai is “yama-oroshi haishi” (山卸廃止), meaning “discontinuation of yama-oroshi.” While the yamahai method was originally developed to speed production time, it is slower than the modern method and is now used only in specialty brews for the earthy flavors it produces. Look more at the wiki page for other terms.
Yes, once you get the reward, your food and drinks will become better, expensive, and given more happy points to the customers. However, if your mood is up to level 12 (let's say you used a drink from the vending machine), and if you received a lesser reward of 3, the drinks you've unlocked will only become at its highest value than 12, so it'll be probably at 10 at the most the customers will give you. To get it to level 12, you just need to keep serving, aim for higher ranking wall hanging rewards, and play on. You'll eventually reach level 12 on most of the drinks you serve by then.
