The Basics

Energy: Energy is a basic concept found in many a phone game. In LM you use it for one thing and one thing only - crafting sets. You craft sets to progress in the story. I've got exactly two tips on energy which I noticed many people miss out on.

1.: Every day upon logging in, first farm the item that is a requirement for progressing the story - as far as the game allows you of course. Usually that item requires 2 story items to be farmed, one from the normal difficulty, and other from the hard difficulty. The hard difficulty item will be the bottleneck as you can only farm that item 6 times a day if you don't pay diamonds for it. That's fine! Take it easy, don't waste diamonds on the story, it means nothing anyway.

2.: Spend your energy as soon (or before) it reaches the maximum. That means you're going to spend your energy fully at least twice a day. This is the optimal way to spend energy if you want to gain XP and craft items at an optimal speed. You can stack energy above the maximum threshold, but once you pass the threshold it won't refill as time passes, it will only be refilled through game rewards etc. That's a major loss! So every time you log on, go into fashion studio and spend your energy on anything. This way you'll ensure you're always earning XP and your energy is constantly passively refilling. You'd be surprised at how many people don't know about this! I thought people should be familiar with phone game energy refilling in the year of our lord, 2024...

Gold: Gold is the currency used for rolling in the permanent low tier gacha, for buying items required to craft sets and for doing the beauty course in your guild. Always make sure you have enough gold for crafting sets. Other than that just keep hoarding it slowly. I never let my gold fall below 1mil, just in case. Usually when it comes close to 2mil I will use some of it on beauty courses and some of it on the permanent gacha.

Diamonds: The currency with which you can roll in all gachas (except for the gold one). You can buy a few other things with diamonds, such as backgrounds and character slots. They should always be used on gachas, but of course, feel free to buy the bgs you like and unlock as many models as you wish. You hoard diamonds for gachas mainly. Never use diamonds to refill various things such as items for crafting or dailies. However, there is one area of the game in which you're encouraged to use diamonds for besides gacha and that is Fashion Battle. More on that in the Fashion Battle section. You can also use diamonds to buy Trend Color Charts in the shop - it's actually a better value to use diamonds than the coupons for this.

Coupons: The p2w currency. You can only get it by spending real money. You use it to buy various stuff in the shop. I don't really recommend it, it's mostly worth only using on gacha. Never convert coupons into diamonds. I only used this feature once or twice for 1 coupon exactly when I was missing diamonds for rolls and I had some leftover coupons from buying them once or twice. They always give you an incompatible amount of coupons for the gacha purchases so you're forced to buy more.
