Tips For New Players

When starting Moe Girl Cafe 2, the sheer amount of content can be quite overwhelming. This page should help new players on how to do a variety of things. For topics not listed here, please refer to the FAQ.

## **Starting From the Beginning**

When first starting the game, it is required to:

* customize the cafe owner (the player avatar)
* make a name for the cafe (if not, the name will default to Moe Girl Cafe in Chinese)
* choose the assistant (Deacon or Moe Secretary)
* choose a username

Once the above is complete, the game starts the tutorial. It is **highly** **recommended** to follow the tutorial, as it helps in the first few quests, and with understanding the basics of the game. There will be more tutorials later in the game.

## **Leveling Up/Obtaining Items**

### **Quests** (found on the left side of the screen)

Finishing quests nets a certain amount of XP, coins, gifts, luckycats or costumes for employees. Quests are usually very simple to do, though some quests may take longer than others.

### **Advertisements** (map icon)

Employees can be assigned to take part in advertising, with rewards being gold, XP, XP tomes, Diamonds, ingredients, energy potions, gifts, or popularity points, as well as a chance to meet an SP Guest. To obtain more items per advertising trip, it is recommended to use 2 employees, and to have at least one employee of high quality. The chance of being rewarded certain items are indicated by a percentage, and the higher the quality of employees used, the greater the chance of getting more items.

There are three total spaces that can be used in advertising; two are blue, while one is pink. The blue spaces are for using personal employees, while the pink space is used for employees borrowed from other players.

## **The Main Currencies and How to Manage Them**

### **Diamonds**

#### **Spending**

After going through the tutorial, a new player will have 100 diamonds. Saving these diamonds is important, and should not be spent early on on items for the cafe. Diamonds are best spent on:

* Converting SP Guests (4 or 5 star)
* Buying food trucks
* Buying more spaces for delivery orders
* Vehicles for delivery orders

#### **Earning / Gaining Diamonds**

Aside from converting real life currency to charge diamonds, they can also be earned in-game by:
