{FAQ} The Mentoring System (Chickadee Roost)



* Where is the Chickadee Roost?
The Chickadee Roost is located in the Farmhouse, in the second tab next to the Farmhouse orders.




The new Mentoring system was launched in the game to offer the possibility to the more experienced users to help the "chickadees", new users who just joined the game. This system offers players a more interactive way of helping each other and rewards for both the mentor and the chickadee.

* I am new to the game. How do I become a chickadee?

All new users who create accounts will be automatically added to the chickadee list in search for a mentor (players that are level 40 and above). The following layer will be presented to the new player after finishing the game tutorial.



If you already finished the tutorial but you are still interested in joining the mentoring system, you can take a look at the chickadee roost. Please note that a mentor might not be found immediately, so while the system is searching for someone to shelter you, your chickadee roost will look like this:



If you wish to leave the mentoring system and play all on yourself, you can press the Leave button. Once a suitable mentor has been found, the newly comer will be added in the Mentor's roost, and your adventure together with your mentor begins. The partners will also be added on each others Friend list available at the Post office and neighbor list (separate from normal neighbours). When reaching level 40, the chickadee will leave the mentor so the special neighbour spot will be lost. If they want to remain neighbours, a normal neighbour invite should be sent by one of the parties.




You will also be able to see the other chickadees that are sheltered in your mentor's roost and interact with them. To interact with any of the other chickadees click on their avatar. You will be able to send them a gift or send them an ingame message.

You can change your chickadee avatar by pressing Change avatar.


Don't forget to interact with your mentor as well, by clicking on its avatar. You can send a gift or simply a message. If you no longer wish to be sheltered in the mentor's roost, press the Leave button. This action will also trigger a cool down that will not allow the leaving chickadee to search for another mentor for the next 12h. A notification layer will be presented to you and once confirmed, you will no longer be part of the mentor's shelter. Users who reach level 40 will automatically loose the chickadee status and can enroll for the mentoring position.

* How do advanced players become mentors?
Any user that has reached level 40 or above can apply to become a mentor, from the layer in the Chickadee roost. It might take some time until a chickadee is found. Each mentor will have a limited amount of chickadee slots, three slots to start with. Once a chickadee has been found, your roost is available. Don't forget to check your Action log for the chickadee arrival entry.



You can add more chickadees to your roost. Clicking an empty chickadee slot will start the search for a possible chickadee, and all the empty slots will become inactive until a suitable chickadee has been found.



Declining the chickadee will stop the search and the slot will receive a cool down.
Clicking on the mentor avatar will allow you to customize it.


You can interact with your chickadees (send them gifts or messages) and also see their status (EP bar, Love bar etc).

* What are Love points?

In this new system, love points are the "fuel" that builds up the relationship between the mentor and its chickadees. A mentor can receive love points via several ways:
  • First message of the day - when the first message is sent between the partners, the mentor will receive 5 love points. All other messages sent in that day will not reward any love points anymore.
  • Sending gifts to chickadees - every day the mentor can send one gift to each of its chickadees. Each gift will add 5 points to the love meter it has with the respective chickadee.
  • Li'l Box o' Love points (small love points package) - the chickadee can send its mentor a love package containing 5 love points. Only one package is possible to be gifted every day. All other gifts that the chickadee is sending will not add love points in the mentors love bar.
Chickadees can send one of the following gifts to their mentors every day:

  • 2 Salt
  • 2 Sugar
  • 2 Florist wire
  • Li'l Box o' Love (5 love points)
The chickadee can also send one daily gift from the Postal Office to the mentor.

A mentor can send the following gifts to its chickadees every day, according to the
chickadee's level:

The mentor can also send one daily gift from the Postal Office to the chickadee.

* What is the love bar?

A mentor has a love bar for each chickadee he shelters in its nest, where love points add up and eventually are transformed into social points by the mentor.



Once the love bar is completely filled, it can be redeemed for Social points. A maximum of 30 full love bars can be redeemed by the mentor for each chickadee.

* What are the Social points?

Social points add up to form the partnership system between a mentor and its chickadees, and of course, between the chickadee and its mentor. For each completely filled love bar (0-50), the mentor can redeem 5 Social points (up to a maximum of 30 times). Social points can be earned from the chickadee's level up as well. Every time the chickadee advances to a new level, the mentor will receive social points, depending on the chickadee's level. If you forget to redeem your full love meter and your chickadee level up, don't worry: the social points are awarded automatically for the filled love meter and the counter will start again correctly. When the chickadee reaches level 40, the respective social points will be booked automatically and the mentor will receive an informative ingame message.

These social points can be spent by the mentor in the Mentor Store for various goods (see below).

* How do I get more chickadee spots?

A maximum of 5 chickadees can be sheltered in a mentor's farmhouse (this may change in the future).

Chickadee Spot Price
1 Free
2 Free
3 Free
4 Social Level 3
5 Social Level 5

Both the chickadee and mentor can leave a partnership if they so desire. Leaving a partnership will bring a cooldown to the party that leaves the partnership: 24h for the mentor who left the chickadee (cooldown will apply only to the spot where the chickadee was located, not to all spots) and 12h for the chickadee leaving its mentor if unhappy with it (meaning that if a chickadee leaves its mentor, he will not be able to register for another mentor search for another 12h). When a chickadee leaves its mentor, an automated message is received in the Mentor's game inbox informing him about the loss of the chickadee. They are also deleted from eachother's neighbour list and friend list.

* What is the Social level?
A mentor's total accumulated social points form its social level. There are 5 levels in the social ranking, depending on how many social points are accumulated.


Social
Level
Points
1 1000
2 1500
3 2,750
4 3,800
5 ---

Once the mentor has accumulated some social points, he can spend them in the Mentor Store to purchase different items.

*What is the Mentor Store?
The Mentor Store has 5 sections (one for each social level), and they can be unlocked by leveling up in the Social ranking. Each section has 4 items (they may change at a later date). These are split into two different categories. The first category consists of items that can be purchased only once (Permanent items), the second category consists of those which return / repeat (daily and weekly). The daily item is available every day, while the weekly items will be available once/week.
