Furniture Priority Guide

First Purchase Priority

Mandatory Sequence:

Year of the Horse Ornament x10 (2300 Echoes total savings)
Additional B-Tier for foundation
C-Tier if available (free Melody)

After discounted ornaments, evaluate budget against Melody targets. Seven additional B-Tier pieces reach 3000 Melody threshold.

A-Tier Strategic Value

When to Prioritize:

After all 10 discounted ornaments
Targeting 6000-10,000 Melody range
Clue reserves exceed 30,000
S-Tier aesthetics not appealing

Purchase Patterns:

Conservative: 2-3 pieces
Moderate: 5-7 pieces
Aggressive: 10+ pieces

S-Tier Investment Justification

Valid Scenarios:

Aesthetic priority over efficiency
Targeting 15,000+ Melody
Collection completion
Limited playtime (Echoes > farming)

Efficiency Comparison:

1x S-Tier (2688 Echoes): +1617 Melody
9x B-Tier (2592 Echoes): +1620 Melody
2x A-Tier (2376 Echoes): +1438 Melody

Strategy: Never buy S-Tier with Echoes if Clues available (45% savings). Limit to 1-3 pieces unless pursuing max Melody.

Limited-Time Priority Framework

Immediate (Feb 5-12):

All discounted Year of the Horse Ornaments
Clue Packages (5 limit)
Spyglass Package (1 limit)

Mid-Event (Feb 12-23):

A-Tier and S-Tier based on Melody targets
Lantern Fair participation

Final Week (Feb 24-Mar 4):

Gap-filling for next milestone
Last-chance S-Tier aesthetics

Melody Calculation and Mechanics

Melody Formula

Total Melody = Σ(Individual Furniture Melody Values)

Example:

10x Year of the Horse (B): 10 × 180 = 1800
5x A-Tier: 5 × 719 = 3595
2x S-Tier: 2 × 1617 = 3234
Total: 8629 Melody

Highest Melody determines room music. System is purely additive—no set bonuses exist.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: S-Tier = Maximum Value

Reality: S-Tier has worst efficiency (0.601 Melody/Echo vs. 0.625 for B-Tier). One S-Tier (2688 Echoes) = 1617 Melody. Nine B-Tier (2592 Echoes) = 1620 Melody.

Correction:

Buy S-Tier only after exhausting B/A-Tier value
Use Clues for S-Tier (45% savings)
Limit to 1-3 pieces unless max Melody pursuit

Mistake #2: Assuming Set Bonuses

Reality: No set bonuses exist. Melody is purely additive. Thematic grouping provides aesthetic value only.

Correction:

Prioritize Melody values over themes
Pursue themes after reaching Melody targets
Balance efficiency with personal aesthetics

Mistake #3: Poor Currency Management

Common Errors:

Buying S-Tier with Echoes when Clues available (45% loss)
Purchasing before acquiring Clue Packages (7.92 Clues/Echo)
Missing Year of the Horse discount (2300 Echoes savings)
Spending on aesthetics before milestones

Correction:

Day 1: Clue Packages → Year of the Horse × 10
Week 1: B-Tier to 3000 Melody
Week 2-3: A-Tier to 6000-10,000 Melody
Week 4-5: S-Tier aesthetics

Reserve Rules:

Maintain 5000+ Clues throughout
Keep 1000 Echoes until final week
Calculate exact Melody needed before purchase

Mistake #4: Ignoring Milestones

Reality: Stopping between milestones (e.g., 7500 Melody when next is 10,000) wastes 2500 points.

Correction:

Research milestone thresholds pre-event
Target next achievable milestone
Stop just above milestone (e.g., 3100 vs. 4500)

Example: At 8500 Melody, need 1500 for 10,000 milestone:

Option A: 2x A-Tier (8376 Clues, +1438) → 9938 (fails)
Option B: 1x S-Tier (11,688 Clues, +1617) → 10,117 (succeeds, depletes reserves)
Option C: 1x A-Tier + 5x B-Tier (9628 Clues, +1619) → 10,119 (succeeds, preserves reserves)

Advanced Optimization Tips

No Gacha Mechanics

All furniture is direct purchase at fixed prices—no RNG. Optimization focuses on purchase sequencing:

Limited discounts (Year of the Horse × 10)
Conversion packages (Clue Packages × 5)
Highest efficiency (B-Tier)
Milestone-reaching (A-Tier)
Aesthetics (S-Tier)

Daily Task Maximization

Morning (30-45 min):

3 qualifying matches: 3600 Logic Points
Lantern Fair: 10 materials
Shoppers' Delight tasks
Lucky Dice (ends Feb 26)

Evening (15-30 min):

Deep Sea Exploration: ~428 Logic Points
Chinese New Year (ends Feb 23)
Verify daily completions

Weekly:

Deep Sea before reset
Track Lantern materials (70 by Feb 12)
Monitor Logic Points (20% boost Jan 29-Feb 5)

Multi-event participation yields 50-100% more currency than single-event focus.

FAQ

What's the fastest way to increase Melody in Spring Retreat 2026?

Buy 10 discounted Year of the Horse Ornaments for 1800 Melody, then farm B-Tier using daily Clues (3600 Logic Points from 3 matches). Reaches 3000+ Melody in 5-7 days F2P. For instant results: purchase 5 Clue Packages (1440 Echoes → 11,400 Clues) for ornaments + 15 B-Tier = ~4500 Melody day one.

How much to fully furnish S-Room?

All 44 items cost ~186,000 Clues or ~15,000 Echoes (using packages + farming). Estimated: 5 S-Tier (13,440 Echoes), 10 A-Tier (11,880 Echoes), 25 B-Tier (7,200 Echoes), 4 C-Tier (free). Strategic use of Clue Packages and farming reduces to 5,000-8,000 Echoes plus time.

Which furniture gives highest Melody?

No set bonuses exist—each piece contributes independently. S-Tier: +1617 (highest absolute), A-Tier: +719, B-Tier: +180, C-Tier: +66. For efficiency, discounted Year of the Horse Ornament delivers 3.1 Melody/Echo (best ratio). Mandatory first purchase.

Can you get furniture without spending Echoes?

Yes, all purchasable with Clues. F2P earning 4028 Logic Points daily accumulates ~108,000 Clues (Feb 5-Mar 4). Buys: 10 ornaments + 30 B-Tier + 15 A-Tier = 15,019 Melody without spending.

Should I save Clues or Echoes?

Prioritize Clue farming while reserving Echoes for 5 Clue Packages (7.92 Clues/Echo). After packages, use Clues for B/A-Tier (better ratios), Echoes only for S-Tier if desired. Never buy B/A-Tier with Echoes when Clues available (wastes 45-50% value).

What to prioritize before Feb 12?

Reach 3000-6000 Melody minimum before Raffle launch. Sequence: (1) 10 discounted ornaments (+1800), (2) B-Tier to 3000 threshold, (3) A-Tier toward 6000 if budget allows. Ensures competitive raffle participation while preserving reserves for post-update opportunities.
