Visiting

You can visit your friends' games and apply a charge, or bonus, to their locations. Your friends can visit your game and apply a charge to your locations. The bonus that is applied depends on the "Player Profession" of you or your friend. You will receive experience points, coins, and the occasional collection item when you visit your friends.

## Visiting Friends

When you visit a friend's game, the game will display a popup screen containing some information about your friend's progress in the current event for a few seconds. If you want to see this again after it disappears, click on your friend's avatar in the upper right; the game will show you the information again.

Then, the game will display information about how many friends you can receive a visiting bonus from today. This is the number of different friends **you** can visit and be awarded a bonus. Simply for popping into your friend's game, you will receive a bonus of 10 experience points and 10 coins. The bonus is awarded when you return to your own game. The maximum number of bonuses you can receive equals your reputation level (see Reputation). Also, if you "pop-in" but do not charge any of your friend's spots, you will **not** show up as a floating avatar in your friend's city (see Friends on your Map)

Finally, you will see a screen showing your friend's city, information about you in the upper left, and information about your friend in the upper right. Now that you are in your friend's game, you can click on one or more charge spots. The potential maximum number of charge spots that you can click per friend depends on your reputation level (see Reputation). The actual maximum number depends on how much strength you have (see Strength).

When inside a friend's city, the rest of your friends are sorted into a scrolling list at the bottom of the screen. The list is sorted by player level, but all friends who have recently visited you are moved to the left end of the list.

### What can you Charge

You may click on, or "charge", locations, totems, and standard mini-games that your friend has unlocked. You may charge any one spot once every 24 hours. You cannot apply bonuses to event-specific mini-games, nor to locations and standard mini-games that your friend has not unlocked. "Totems" includes the special totems that are earned as part of an event. You can charge the current event location, if your friend has unlocked it.

### Charging a Spot

For every charge spot that you click, you will receive 10 experience points and 5 coins. Occasionally, you will also receive a random collection item when you click a charge spot. It is unknown if there is a pattern to receiving collection items. The experience, coins, and collection items are awarded when you return to your own game.

Each "charge" will provide a bonus to your friend for one exploration of the location or mini-game or one collection of the totem in the friend's game. This "charge" is dependent on your Player Profession (see Player Professions for details).

Each charge will cost you 10 strength points and will give you one reputation point.

If you apply the potential maximum number of charges to a friend's city, a green check mark will show up on the friend's avatar in the list at the bottom of your screen. This is helpful to keep track of who you have already visited today.

### Visiting the Upper City

To visit a friend's Upper City, the friend must first unlock the Upper City. If it is unlocked, an airship will appear on your friend's map on the right of the screen, under their avatar. If the airship icon is clicked, it will take you to your friend's Upper City. To go back down to your friend's Main (Lower) City, just click on the airship icon again. If there is no airship icon on the right side, then your friend hasn't unlocked the Upper City yet. This is the same method you would use to travel to your own Upper City.

## Strategy for Visiting

Each charge provides a one-time exploration benefit according to your Player Profession. "One-time" means that it provides your friend a bonus that is used up when your friend investigates the location, plays the mini-game, or collects rewards from the totem to which you applied the charge. Briefly:

* Archaeologist bonus increases coins
* Mechanic bonus increases experience points
* Psychic bonus reduces energy consumption
* Pathfinder bonus increases the chances of finding a collection item

Since you has a limited number of bonuses to apply, you could be strategic in how you apply them if you so please. Some players who are more casual players of the game may not want to think too deeply on it while others prefer to get the most out of the game may want to be strategic about it.

Here are some things to consider:

* If your friend has any favorited locations (the locations with a star on them), click on those first (see Favorite/Starred Locations).
* The most recent past event location is a good spot to click because players use the previous event locations to earn the most event entry items which are needed to enter the event location.
* The current event location is a good spot to click because most people are playing the current event.
* Charging totems gives extra coins, energy and experience depending the totem. The amount given will vary based on the rank of the totem. (It's hard to keep track of what a totem gives as a result of charging it since the developers have seem to change this a lot.)
* High level locations are good choices since they give the most event keys
* Apply as many charges as you can (maximum will be 10)
* Charge mid-level locations as these have a lot of quests/cases (more useful for friends that are under level 200 or so)
* Mini-Games can be a good choice due to a lot of quests being related to them (more useful for friends that are under level 200 or so)

## Friends on your Map

When a friend has visited you, a floating avatar of the friend will show up on your main screen. There will be more than one floating avatar if more than one friend has visited you. If you click on your friend's avatar, a beam shoots out showing where the friend has given a bonus. You can have upwards to 5 friends floating around on your map. If you want to be strategic about using **all** the bonuses your friends give you, see Player Professions for some tips. When you click on a floating avatar, you will get a coin or two.

Depending on time of day and your last activity, you may also get a pop-up screen that tells you which friends have visited you recently. If you click "Visit Friends", it will take you to your Friends list so you can visit friends back. However, it will show all of your friends and not just the ones that have visited you.

## Favorite/Starred Locations

You can "favorite", or "star" some of your locations or mini-games. You can have up to 5 starred locations or mini-games. After you favorite/star a location or mini-game, its banner will be pinned to your map. If friends visit you, they will be able to see which locations or mini-games you have favorited/starred.

In order to favorite a location, you need to click on a location. In the location name banner there is a little star ⭐ beside it. If that star is clicked, then the star fills in (turns yellow). If you want to remove a location from your list of favorites, just click the star again. If you already have 5 Favorite/Starred Locations and you choose to favorite a sixth location, the system will automatically un-favorite your oldest favorited location.

If you see a star when visiting a friend, then that likely means that it's a location that the friend is working on and they would welcome a click there!
