Caravan closed cities
I have been collecting caravan closed city stats for a couple of months now. I have collected over 400 inputs. While I was collecting the stats, there was an update, and the closed city percentage changed from 1.6 to 1.5. This meant that 200 inputs were outdated. Now that I am tracking caravan closed city status stats, I have notice a slight difference between 3 and 4 unlocked cities. That got me thinking. Is there a difference how many cities are unlocked? Is it better to have more or less cities unlocked when farming Silk?
Because I am not a mathematician and I can't calculate (or willing to calculate) what are the exact percentages on closed cities, I decided to just simulate it and let the computer do the math. I know how to write code,…
Most profitable expeditions
- Short version: Level 1 maps are better in almost every aspect.
There was a question in the Tavern: "Which expedition should I go on, now that I have all artifacts? Which one is the most profitable?" At the time I thought: "Just do the highest level expedition you can - they bring the most rewards." Some suggested the lowest expedition, because they are the cheapest to craft/mount and are fairly quickly completed. Both answers seemed good at that time, but we will know when we "crunch some numbers", as they say in movies.
- 1 Costs and rewards
- 2 Solving time
- 3 Solving with weapons
- 4 Conclusion
The table below shows:
- [Cost (raw)] - cost of crafting and mounting a map.
- [Cost (normalized)] - normalized cost of crafting and mounting a map (10 Wooden planks = …
The Mortar strategy
Long story short: build Ship, learn Prospecting (Iron sand), build Furnace lvl. 2, build Workshop lvl. 4, craft Mortars and solve a lot of huge nonograms with these Mortars (preferably from Treasury of Mental power) and getting a lot of items and Mental power.
Not so long ago I have built all the "important" buildings and had no need for Wood or Stone. I decided to craft Fans and throw them into the Cauldron. I threw Stone directly into the Cauldron, since there was no better way to get Coins - I really needed Coins. A couple of days after that, I saw a Reddit post about the best route for the ship - Prospecting. The OP (Original Poster) suggested to craft Shurikens and throw them into the Cauldron, but I thought: "What if I crafted Mortars …
2nd year wiki anniversary
Welcome readers to the "anniversary blog". The previous year will be remember most notably by the "Dungeon update" and war between Russia and Ukraine, which punished the developers (among other people who live in either country) and might caused some development delays.
The update on 1st November really boosted the activity on the wiki. The number of page views per month got multiplied by 4 from ~30k to ~120k, but has fallen a little and is now moving around 100k.
The internal top searches were taken over by Dungeon related pages, with Dungeon being the top one with over 3 times as many views as the second one (Airship). The only page on this list that is not related to the update is Caravan on the 8th place.
The wiki also got a boost in user…
1 year anniversary!
Happy new year to everyone!
At around 11:30 on 2 January 2021 a wiki was created, called Nonograms Katana Wiki. This wiki was created with the purpose to help/inform what the Guild is and how it works. The wiki only had a couple of pages - buildings and tabs (Territory, Mosaic, etc.) mostly. I could only fill in the information I had/found (which was not a lot). To help spread the word I have made a post on the Nonograms Katana unofficial subreddit. The reception was positive. Jean-Rémy quickly joined, added a bunch of information and created the Levelling and Items page. These were the beginnings of this wiki (at least as much as I remember).
The Analytics Dashboard is a feature available on all Fandom and Gamepedia wikis that provides web …
Active and passive players
- This blog post is not meant to devide the good people of this comunity into two groups or to put labels on them. It is meant to define two different playstyles and agree on the terms for them.
I am writing this blog post because of a problem I've been running into recently trying to update the Tips for Adventurers Guild (although I have noticed it much sooner). The order of building buildings might be a little different (to maximize efficiency) depending where you get the most resources from - solving nonograms or passive income. This blog is mostly aimed at completing the Territory as fast and efficient as possible for each playstyle.
A passive player is a person, who spends up to around 30 minutes a day solving nonograms and gets most of th…
Which item is better to watch ads for?
Which item in Bourse is better to watch ads for? Treasure map fragment lvl. 1, Coffee beans or Katana? From someone who watches a lot of ads this question is very important. While these resources are "free", you don't want to be spending them inefficiently. With the introduction of Katana as the third option the calculation became longer. The short version is at the bottom.
Firstly I needed to decide how many ads to take into account (as in how many ads do I watch). I decided to go with 35 so I have 70 Treasure map fragments lvl. 1, which can be crafted into exactly 7 Treasure maps lvl. 1 and 175 Katanas which can be thrown into the Cauldron exactly 25 times. I tried to convert everything to Coin, for a clearer picture.
- 1 Treasure map fragment …
Nonograms Katana Wiki new logo and background
Welcome people of the internet to my first blog post!
When I finally figured out what picture will be shown in the background of this wiki, I started making drafts. I knew it was going to something with a katana on the right and I also wanted that number bars will be shown on the top and left side (so it feels like the website is a big nonogram). That would be what you could see of the background (if you had a wide screen), but what would be in the middle? "Nonograms Katana Wiki" text of course, but what else? Items! That would be cool. This was the draft I made in Word:
Pretty cool, huh? Now let's make a nonogram out of it. Put it in the background of the nonogram maker and go. This is where I got stuck.
Items in low resolution don't look gr…
