Item Daycare

Item Daycare is a feature that allows you to level up items without merging them, by having the Daycare Kitty "shine happiness and sunshine all over them." This feature is useful for items that are difficult to level-up normally, like the Hearts which can only be purchased, or items that are time consuming to level-up such as the Infamous Forest Pendants. The time it takes to level up is different for each item, and this information can be found on each item page.
Daycare can be accessed through the inventory window. Its button shows up once a daycare slot has been purchased.  
Attempting to merge an item into one in a daycare slot will result in nothing happening.
You can only have one of each item in the daycare.
== Daycare Slots ==
There are currentlyThe first Daycare slot was implemented in June 2018 (build 390), and the last in January 2019 (build 412-2). a total of 6 daycare slots:
* 3 from EXP Shop Adventure Special, for 250, 25k, and 500k respectively
* 1 from the 10th completion of the Normal Blind Challenge
* 1 from the 3rd completion of the Evil Troll Challenge
* 1 from ITOPOD perk for 50k PP (Evil only)
== Time & Speed ==
There are two kinds of speed-ups, both multiplicative bonuses:
#Time reductions: A reduction in time until completion (retroactive)
#Speed increases (not retroactive)
===Time Reductions===
* ×85% from Normal Blind Challenges: -5% for first completion and -1% for every completion.
* ×95% from Daycare Kitty's Blessing I ITOPOD Perk: 5 PP for -1%, 5 levels.
* ×95% from Daycare Kitty's Blessing II ITOPOD Perk: 25 PP for -1%, 5 levels.
* ×90% from Daycare Speed Boost from 4G's Sellout Shop for 125k AP.
Example: An item with a base speed of 1 level per 8 hours left in daycare for 15 days would gain 45 levels, or 50 with the Daycare Speed Boost.
*15 * 24 / 8 = 45 levels
*With the Daycare Speed Boost: 15 * 24 / (8 * 90%) = 50 levels
===Speed Increases===
* ×204% from equipment: +20% each from A Pretty Pink Bow, A Bag of Trash, A Garrote, and My Pink Heart plus 24% more from the Creepy Doll. (See Build Daycare Speed.)
* ×105% from the Fibonacci ITOPOD perk 55
* ×110% from Wishes
* ×120% from the Evil Blind Challenges: +2% per completion, 10 completions
* ×110% from the Sadistic Blind Challenges: +1% per completion, 10 completions
* ×105% to >190% from the Daycare digger
* Daycare hack (max 579.6580% increase)
* Daycare cards
With all the above bonuses except diggers, hacks, and cards, the overall time per level can be reduced to 85% * 95% * 95% * 90% / 204% / 105% / 110% / 120% / 110% = 22.20%. With an additional 180% from diggers, 220% from hacks, and 130% from cards (reachable numbers by the time you reach Sadistic difficulty), this would take the number down to 4.31%. Further improvements are quite possible, especially from hacks and cards.
