Strategy / 99% tracker, missing recipes, fish, shipping, crafting, and friendship blockers
Waivers are most tempting when the tracker shows 99%. Before paying, check likely final blockers such as one missed crafting recipe, a new 1.6 fish, a shipping item, Golden Walnut mismatch, or a friendship route that is faster than spending 500,000g.
Facts and route notes
Category: Strategy
Focus: 99% tracker, missing recipes, fish, shipping, crafting, and friendship blockers
Checklist: Check cooking, crafting, fish, shipping, monster goals, Stardrops, friendship, and Golden Walnut categories first. Use the waiver when the time cost is worse than 500,000g for this save. If the missing point is a seasonal recipe or calendar-gated item, decide whether waiting is worth more than the gold.
