If you're looking to speed up the bonding, if you have a two devices, you can open the familiar selection screen (set to "Not Bonded Today") on one device and select on that device while clicking the bond button and refreshing on the other. I get through my 900 familiars in 30-35 minutes by selecting familiars on my phone and clicking + refreshing (with refresh bound to a button on my mouse) on desktop.
This is how I do it with around 1000 familiars - I actually prefer bonding to coli for NOTN (and might even start to do it for festivals instead in the future). It’s just as mindless as Coli once you get the hang of it. I just watch YouTube or a show or something, and it’s over before I know it.
The most annoying part for me is taking them all out of the Vault in the first place (plus putting them back after) since it’s so many pages. I wish we had a ‘Move everything to Hoard/Vault’ option.
(In regard to the original topic though - it’s still hardly ‘no effort’ as it does take like 30 minutes of constant clicking/refeshing not to mention the work that went into getting 1000+ familiars in the first place. And I wouldn’t say I get oodles of Mums or any dropping item from it. I’ve been hoping for one of the Purple bows to drop all NOTN and still haven’t got it. I definitely wouldn’t do it outside of festivals. If someone does choose to bond every single one of their fams every single day to fame Mums, they deserve them.)
i do this but on desktop, with two windows side by side resized/zoomed in so the bond button on one page is only an inch from the list of fams on the other page, and just click from one page to the other and refresh the dragon profile i'm bonding on. takes me about an hour for 1200~ fams.
i also have fams on dragons in my lair (like 170~ dragons) and just arrow right to the next dragon, spam click the bond button, immediately right arrow to the next page etc., to bond those real fast. i miss like 4-5 when I do this but it gets 'em done fast.
u can also do it all on mobile if u have a browser that allows u to swipe between tabs using the address bar, select a fam then swipe back to the dragon profile, refresh, bond, swipe back to select another fam, etc.
Nayrt Also, the close button (NOT the x, the one with the "close" text) on bond with familiar refreshes the page itself. This means you could also do (tab 1) bond -> (tab 2) add familiar -> (tab 1) close -> repeat
Just want to say that when I did the two window method, I never had to refresh.
Basically, what I would do is, bond the familiar, go to the other window, change the familiar to a new one, and then click close on the first window. The page would refresh and the new familiar would be showing, click bond, go to the other window, change familiar, and then go back and click close and it refreshes automatically.
This was with both windows on desktop, not sure if it would work quite the same way with two devices.
Not sure if this is what you meant, it just sounded like you would close the popup bonding window, then change the familiar and have to refresh after you changed the familiar.
AYRT: I neglected to mention that you could also do this. For my setup it's much faster and requires left effort for me to refresh (as it's bound to a button on my mouse) rather than moving my mouse back and forth between bond & "Close".
SA: And forgot to say: I just don't interact with the popup window at all. If you refresh after changing familiars it does the same thing as if you were to hit close, you just save time not having to move the mouse.
