How to Succeed in LOP Without Even Trying

Tip #1: Sign on as frequently as you can.

I tend to be able to do so about every 3 hours and am able to maximize a lot of the components that respawn within that time frame, such as Pigeon Letters and studying at the Academy.

Tip #2: Complete as many Daily Quest Tasks that you can each day, with or without spending ingots or other resources you may be hoarding.

Tip #3: Hoard items in between the recurring quick events, and drop them accordingly and you'll be rewarded greatly, my friend.

Trust me, I know it's painful, but it REALLY does pay off in the long run.

Tip #4: If you're a F2P, try to have a minimum ingot stash around for special events that occur at least once a month.

My recommendation is 8,500. But I'll be honest, in an attempt to keep leveling up on my F2P account, I haven't followed my own tip.

Tip #5: If you're a P2P, I highly recommend getting the Lifetime Pass ASAP (it's half the price the first seven days on a new server!) and joining the dollar-a-day club. You get extra rewards for each day you top-up in a fifty day cycle.

Tip #6: Determine your partner leveling up strategy early on and stick with it.

A lot of people ask which partners are best to focus on, and from what I've heard and experienced, prioritizing any partner with Authority as their main or secondary attribute is going to be worth your while, since Authority makes up the backbone of your momentum.  My personal attribute preference is: Balance, Authority, Wisdom, Politics, and Charisma.

Tip #7: The Rule of 6

Having six slots for each of the following:

Foster Child

Pigeon Letters

The Academy

Will unlock the "fast" convenience features in the game, help you meet the Daily Quest tasks faster, and allow you to strategize leveling up Confidants and Partners more efficiently.

In addition to the slots listed above, leveling up the Academy's skill and growth levels to a minimum of level six will impact the efficacy of your Partners' studies.

Tip #8:  Spend your ingots and various game points wisely.

You won't be able to get everything all the time, so be picky about the items you want to spend your precious resources on. Unless your P2P rationale is to just buy everything, in which case ignore this tip.

Tip #9: Don't get FOMO.

Tip #10: Make some friends.

It makes LOP that much more fun. Or at least it has for me.
