Levels 1 and 2

I've created a new FB account with only Pub Life as the app.  This way I can start from Level 1 and make notes as I proceed.  Many of you are beyond (far beyond) Level 1 but I thought I'd start at the beginning for those new to the game.

Level 1 is basic.  Four chairs, one table, 3 bar servers.  It will ask you to stock the bars.  Being Level 1 you only have two (2) options; an 11-hour "Cheeky Gitmo" and a 3-minute "Doggy Days' brew.  I do NOT recommend purchasing the 11-hour brew at the get go.  Eleven hours is a long time to wait for that brew to be ready and you can serve many other types of ales/snacks as you level up.  So I put all three of my counters with Doggy Days and as I accrued some points then moved up to the 10-minute brew, which is unlocked at Level 2.

Note:  If you click on the pub sign you can change the picture (some are free, others cost pub $) and you can also change the name of your pub.  You don't have to keep it named The Ape and Apple.

Note: As you hover over chairs, tables, bar servers, wall hangings, etc., if they turn red it means they need cleaned.  CLEAN THEM!  It will toss out coins and XP.

Note:  Make sure  your pub door is OPEN of your customers won't be able to enter your establishment!

I have just leveled up from 1 to Level 2. This will allow you to post to your feed so neighbors can benefit from 500 coins & 50 XP.  Level 1 was 0-200 XP.  From what I gather (my math is sometimes fuzzy) it takes 560 to get to Level 3.  When you level up to Level 2 you are the "Taproom Trainee" and you get 2,000 coins and are able to buy Karlheinz (that 10-minute ale) and Jimmy Toffee Apples (snack).  It says Mince Pies and Trick or Treats but I don't see them on the menu so I think that refers as to gifts you can give to neighbors.

NOTE: Every once in a while when you clean your furniture you'll come across a wall hanging, pool ball, cup, etc., these items are used for building electronic dart boards, pool tables, cappuccino machine, etc.  You will notice a vertical column along the left that gives you a % of how much you have completed for these items.  I have heard from many that if you place the item on the floor BEFORE you have all of the required parts the pieces won't drop randomly when you clean tables, bars, etc. So I would recommend that you leave them until you have 100% of the parts.

Out for now.
