So with just a couple of days left until 1.2 launches on global, what are people most excited about?

I have wanted Shinku since she was first revealed, and now that I know the bike can not only jump but its indestructible I must have it, especially as a BatBike fan from the Dark Knight. Will definitely get a couple of skins for her as well - swimsuit and knight outfits for sure.

Overall though, I am most excited about the new play mode - cautiously optimistic but excited. It looks fun and seems a clever way to get us out of the Urban setting for a fantasy romp. More mint is always a good thing and Iroi not only looks cute but seems like she'll be amazing for most teams.

I know a lot of people don't want to spend premium currency on the vehicle gachas, but I did a mix of fons and annulith for the Porsche and I am eyeing doing the same for the Batbike knockoff.

I am not sure what other rewards are in the loot boxes compared to the Porsche rewards, but let's assume there are some small fon rewards, maybe a few blue dice, etc.

Here is my best math based on what's been released in CN for the Draco cost:

Fons pull 1-10: 3.5M Fons

Annulith pulls 11-15: 3800 Annulith, or 23.75 pulls of currency.

For that, you'd get the bike, the outfit (typically outfits going for 3M on their own) and any other rewards, and that is assuming you don't get lucky and get the outfit/bike early.

For me, a Dolphin with paid BP/Rift Permit, its worth throwing the equivalent of a couple of ten pulls at the bike.

For those that would never use Annulith for something like this, I completely understand. Just wanted to put this up for those that don't want to spend the full 11M Fons.

Edit: Rumor has it there are a total of 13 blue dice in the rewards, so if true that means you're looking at:

3.5M Fons + 23.75 limited banner pulls = Bike, Skin, 13 Standard Pulls, anything else in the boxes.

Looking better and better to me - maybe some others too.

Finished up City Stamina for the current week earlier today and it got me curious as to which hobbies people enjoy the most/least?

For me, even though I have my mailbox maxed I find that I enjoy driving around doing deliveries. I also find fishing relaxing when I can kind of do it with music in the background and not 100% focused. I am only at level 7 though so I know it will be a LONG time before I get the outfit.

For the offline racing, I didn't do it until I had the Porsche and that kind of trivialized it (I know, I could use another car and 2 of the circuits REQUIRE you to use a specific car) but it was amusing seeing no one behind me after the first few seconds.

On the flip side, I found the chaos of Owner's selection to be off-putting. I eventually got Baicang and was able to do the hammertime cheese combo for the rewards but with any kind of ping (I run 50-60 ms typically) its frustrating to me to do normally.

Little Sparrow and Tetrominoes I have barely touched honestly so I'm curious for anyone that has done a decent amount what your opinion is. I won't speak of Super Sound as that is pretty much just awful.

The Swift Travel Taxi can be fun but I don't do a ton of it - probably the next hobby I'll put a bit more time into.

I know some folks spend stamina as quickly as possible to "get it done" but I actually enjoy the non-combat side of the game more than I expected. I have 100% for all the map but still enjoy just wandering around seeing what new thing there is to discover.

So I keep seeing posts with people going "Oh I have 10 million fons ready to go for the Porsche event" and I am over here scratching my head wondering how non-whales are in this position.

Day 1 dolphin player here, BP + whatever the 5$/mo one is that gives you fons + annulith daily. I have purchased the first 3 homes, the entry bike (only vehicle you really need to get around town), and the entry SUV (needed to have certain number of vehicles for Tycoon leveling.) I do 200 point bond gifts X 10 a day. I spend all my city stamina, max out Heist event every 2 weeks, do all my dailies, etc. I *did* spend I think 1M fons on beetle coins so that I could actually level from 50 to 60.

I am sitting at 3.3 million fons. So - unless my math isn't mathing, HOW are people banking 10M fons unless they just aren't buying houses/vehicles/bond gifts/whatever ? Am I missing some great fons making scheme somewhere? Are people NOT cleaning out the Hunter Exchange (except for Beetle Coins) ? I bought everything in the exchange except of course all the beetle coins.

Just wondering what people are/aren't spending fons on.
