Levels and curves
Four ladders go up, and each takes a different length of time.
Four numbers in the app go up, and each answers a different question. Each also lives on exactly one screen, which is the quickest way to keep them straight.
Each ladder answers something different
Two of these predate her and two arrived with her. Only one is something you buy.
| Level | Answers | Screen | Comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank | How much have I done, all time | Profile | Lifetime Points |
| Zone level | How balanced is my life | Attributes | Dated habit completions |
| Bond level | How close am I to her | Companion | Care |
| Row level | What have I built | Companion Sheet | Coins, capped by zone |
Zone levels count completion days
A completion day is any day you finished something in that zone. Four habits in one zone on a Tuesday still counts as one, which is why spreading across days beats piling into one.
| Zone level | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Completion days | 3 | 7 | 12 | 18 | 25 | 33 | 41 | 49 | 57 |
| Days for that level alone | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
Cost per level climbs to level 6 and then holds flat at eight days. The top half of a zone is a steady climb, not a wall, and three daily habits get you to level 10 in nineteen calendar days.
Zone levels also slip back when you stop. That is what makes them a mirror and not a score. They set the ceiling on your row levels, covered on locked rows.
Bond comes from care alone
It belongs to you rather than to any one companion, and four levels change something.
| Bond level | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| 3 | The Collar slot |
| 12 | The Form slot, a second household place, and one Key |
| 20 | A third household place |
| 28 | A fourth household place |
| 30 | The final form |
Every level also adds 1% to every Point award until the total reaches 20%.
Bond 12 arrives around month three
These days assume you care for her most days. Skipping stretches them out, and nothing shortens them.
Bond 12 is the one worth aiming at. Three unlocks land on it together.
Row levels are the only ones you buy
Level 1 costs 25 Coins, and each level after adds 20 until level 10 costs 205.
A row stops where its zone stops, which puts your habits in charge of the pace and leaves your balance out of it. The rows page covers what each level does.
Rank counts lifetime Points
Rank is the oldest of the four, and she does not touch it. It counts lifetime Points at 500 per rank and runs from Novice up to Legend on your profile.
