The Keep:Handy Tips to Manage Damage and Avoid Death in Habitica

Habitica Why do I keep dying? FAQ

I recommend you read this through once, before clicking any of the links.



-BACKGROUND-



First, and most importantly, Habitica needs to work for you as a list utility. If it is not working as a list utility, then it is not working. Once you get used to Habitica as a list utility, then you can work on using its RPG rewards as motivation for you to complete items on your list. You cannot use bicycling, Frisbee, or swimming as fun exercises to improve your health until you first learn to ride a bike, throw a Frisbee, or swim.



When you add a brand new Daily to Habitica, it gives you a large reward for completing it each day - but it also gives you a large penalty if you miss it. This is okay when you have been using Habitica for a while, but as a new character, *ALL* of your Dailies are new, so all of the penalties are large. If you have twenty daily items, and you only finish five, you will get a huge penalty for fifteen missed dailies.

You can use the ideas in this article to make Habitica easier to use, more fun and more rewarding. You can use these ideas even if you are not currently dying in Habitica, and even if you are not a new user of Habitica. (The newbies don’t get *all* the fun.)



This starting penalty for adding a large number of new Dailies does not apply to Habits and To-Dos.

You also want to do this because any incomplete grey dailies could be a (Day due= none) dailies or they could be dailies due once, or more, days per week. When you search for “NeverDue”, or your personal term for it, you can see which Dailies (Day due=none) are completed today, and which are not completed.

Do Not be afraid to put long descriptions in the extra notes section of a task (Daily, To-Do, Habit). Extra notes will be searchable. Example: for you daily “Take Allergy Medication” you could add the name of the medication, the key words Health, Morning, with Meal, with Food. Searching for Meal would bring up your daily “Take Allergy Medication” and all other tasks with Meal in their title, extra notes section, or checklists.

Example: “Brush teeth after dinner, Yesterday” would be checked off in the morning, if you brushed your teeth after dinner yesterday. Each morning I search “yesterday” then check off any of the dailies I finished the previous evening.

You regain 15 Health for 25 gold, so 100 gold will heal anything that does not kill your character. Depending on how much damage you take (from dailies, negative habits, and quests), you may want to save anywhere from 100- 2000 gold for Health potions.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">If you have trouble remembering if you completed a task, take a photo or a screen shot. Example: If you have Daily “Take Allergy Medication”, but you keep forgetting if you took it, take a picture of the bottle when you take the medication on Wednesday. Then delete Tuesday’s reminder photos.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">Weekly or Monthly Reevaluation

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">Every week, or every month, you should reevaluate your tasks (Habits, To-Dos, and Dailies). This is important for your Dailies, and especially any you are having trouble completing or you no longer have trouble completing.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">Look at your dailies that you are successfully completing, and you may change some of these to easy, medium or hard dailies. Your penalties for not completing them will actually be lower than when you first started them, because they will be “more blue”

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(18,85,204);"> ( http://habitica.wikia.com/wiki/Task_Value#Effects_of_Task_Value ).

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">However, the rewards will be higher since your INT, PER and STR will be higher. This is especially true if you start with a lot of Day due= none dailies.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">Look at your dailies your are not successfully completing. You might need to change it to a “Yesterday” daily, change its difficulty to Trivial, change its Day due= none, break it up into a group of small dailies, change it to a Habit, or remove it from Habitica.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">Expert Mode

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">You can increase the difficulty to easy, medium or hard on your dailies, and set Day due= everyday, once you master Habitica. If you want, once you become comfortable with Habitica as a list utility, you can spend 4 gems and buy a Fortify Potion. It will reset all your tasks to “brand new” which will give you large rewards for them.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(35,35,35);">I don’t recommend this, because the penalties will also be large if you miss something. But you can chose this option.
