Quick overview (what to actually do)
- Mayors create time-limited windows where certain grinds are stronger (Mining, Fishing, Dungeons, Economy).
- Treat it like planning: prep before, grind during, sell/hold after.
- Don’t over-invest. The safest prep is stocking items you would use anyway.
How elections work (quick)
Know the cycle so you can time grinds and investments.
- A mayor is active for a fixed term. Elections happen regularly.
- Most perks create “profit windows” (fishing, mining, dungeons, etc.).
- If you plan big buys (gear, materials), check if perks will affect prices.
Practical prep (beginner-friendly)
- Before the mayor changes: stock consumables/materials you will use anyway.
- During the perk: do the grind that the perk buffs. Don’t random-switch.
- After the perk: prices often normalize. Avoid panic-buying.
Economy rules (safe, no gambling)
- Prefer high-volume items. Low-volume markets are easier to manipulate and harder to exit.
- Always check taxes/fees before you call something a profit.
- If you’re unsure: split buys over time. Don’t go all-in on one prediction.
