Up to now i was actually feeding them pills right before they hit yellow so around the 5900-5950.
Was pondering for quite some time if it was the case to actually wait for them to hit yellow before doing so.
I think the time has come.

Same here, not that I have enough monsters to matter (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

You can feed them at any time as long as it's higher than 0 morale you don't lose out on any gifts.

of course. but yep, i noted as well that when the mob goes from yellow to green bar there's a certain chance to bring out a gift - low, but there is. this, together with the amount of morale restored are good enough reasons for me to wait for the yellow bar before feeding. food, definitely when it's still in the green bar.

Im not sure about that trigger. Does that mean win in battle can be without gift? So few monsters won in yellow bar and roll said "no, not this time", but after feeding monster got bonus chance and as result gave gift?

according to my experience, yes. only things granted are the 3-days gifts. for all the others, there are only fair chances.

but after feeding monster got bonus chance and as result gave gift?

as i said, there's a chance for this to happen. but since you still have to feed a pill and only unknown is *when* to do it, it's worth the gamble.

[edit]: now that i think about it, there *may* be a difference between feeding at 6000 remaining and 5999 remaining morale. only my guess though.

The monster gift periods are deterministic, the only randomness involved is what items you get. And there is a difference between green and yellow morale, but it's much less significant than yellow to red.

What if i dont feed monster 3 days, it gives me 3days gift and i pill him from red-yellow to greeen? Wll that be same as pill him without any delays?

so basically to have more chances of gifts i should become a sadic bastard who enjoys when his mobs are sad? poor things! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If you pop a happy pill on a monster that brings it from red/yellow to green and get a gift, you would have gotten it anyway if it was green to begin with. The only difference is that if you kept it at green, you might have gotten it (and started the timer for the next one) sooner.

IIRC it was said that the number of gifts is a float and gets rounded when you check the lab, right? Can you lose gifts due to rounding if you check the lab too often? Is it safe to check several times or better just once per day?

which is like saying that yellow bar somehow freezes timer and morale should always be green as well, right?

Since there is still a chance of getting gifts at yellow, until shown otherwise I would think the timer is slowed in some way, but not stopped.

(but yes, you would prefer to keep bar green as much as possible)

Thanks guys (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Think I'll just let it go yellow since I'm not really active these days to care about getting gifts on time.

I've come to that point in HV where I just log in to check on my monsters (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) Might need to actually buy happy pills like Chraunzen D:

When calculating the number of gifts, it applies a fairly large random +/- offset to the timer to prevent any significant rounding effects.

I'm so glad that the Peerless Charged Phase Pants of Niflheim in Super's auction is already at 55m! I could never have afforded that! That means no regrets. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

By the way, my radiant pants have improved my clear speed of arena's considerably. I like them. I still die sometimes in the last 200 rounds of pffest. 2 solutions: 1. vase or gum 2. IWfest. Both work fine for me.
