    Mastering a Catalog

    I didn't find enough information about mastering a catalog, so I counted myself
    As soon as the new catalog came out, Emerald Isle, I did a research and here's what I found out.

    I worked with 40 slots on 8 hours catalog (Emerald Isle)
    You need a total of 124 orders to complete the order and it took me a little over 4 days to finish.

    # of items ordered to reach next level:
    LV 0 to 1 12
    LV 1 to 2 22
    LV 2 to 3 30
    LV 3 to 4 60

    Total orders accumulated:
    LV 0 to 1 12
    LV 1 to 2 34
    LV 2 to 3 64
    LV 3 to 4 124

    Using Hangers:
    You get 1 hanger for ordering, and 3 hangers for stocking; for a total of 4 hangers per item ordered
    LV 0 to 1 45
    LV 1 to 2 90
    LV 2 to 3 120
    LV 3 to 4 240

    Total # of Hangers Accumulated:
    LV 0 to 1 45
    LV 1 to 2 135
    LV 2 to 3 255
    LV 3 to 4 495

    Therefore, you need to order 496 (124 order * 4 item/catalog) in order to master a catalog.

    Total # of hours required to obtain mastery:
    124 order * total items in catalog * time it takes to order 1 item / # of slots you used

    In Emerald Isle:
    Total items in catalog: 4
    Time it takes to order 1 item: 8 hours
    # of slots I used: 40 slots

    124 * 4 * 8 / 40 = 99.2 hours
    A little over 4 days...

    Here are screenshots:
    After 10 orders complete


    After 20 orders complete


    After 30 orders complete


    After 40 orders complete


    After 50 orders complete


    After 60 orders complete


    After 70 orders complete


    After 80 orders complete


    After 90 orders complete


    After 100 orders complete


    After 110 orders complete


    After 120 orders complete


    After 124 orders complete (mastery)

    Right, you will need to double my time if you have only 22 slots.

    I don't waste $5 to get extra order slots, so I'm only using 20 slots - leaving the 2 extra because I like to keep it even (5 of each item).

    Is it $5 per slot? I didn't even count.
    I bought bunch when I was on a user-trial for mobile company.
    I got to buy all the gems for free, because the company paid for it. (I was an early adopter for awhile until they closed down the program)
    I only bought 2 slots using MY money, lol.
    Now, I only spend gems that I buy for decoration purposes

    if you have tonnes of money, id spend a little time actually just ordering and then 'starting a new order' from level 0 to 1, if you know what i mean. If youre after gems rather than stock levels, its really effective - you earn 6xp too for every item you order

    With the new expansions out, I doubt not many have enough "coins" lol
    With the money earned at such a slow pace, I personally wouldn't spend my coins on ordering-canceling methods.
