...How

i'm VERY attention deficit when doing boring repetitive tasks that have no real end-goal in sight or obvious stopping point but i WANT to get the riches and u have to pay JUST enough attention to not make a mess of ur coli team

how do u...,,, survive mentally in the coli

Oh easy, I do it in the BG of other tasks. I often RP with friends on another site or do voice chats, and through-out the week play a few dif table top games.
So what do I do while I'm waiting on my turn, or while I'm talking and need a visual stim? I grind coli. It's a lot easier to do when you're doing something else that doesn't need your visual attention All The Time All The Time.

Making a mess of setting up your coli team tho? Couldn't tell you cause I think I might have lol

Fodder leveling is really the only way I can focus on the coli. There's an endpoint/endgoal and I can actually see the progress towards it.

I can't grind in a venue for loot for longer than five or ten minutes myself, even with something in the background, because there is no tangible progress. It may take five battles, it may take 500.

I try to do it when I know a favourite person is streaming, or wait until i have a few videos I want to watch queued up in a playlist. I still get distracted and end up in the forums or worse, browsing AH, but much less often. I was coli grinding before I got distracted by this post lmao.

Also I like to wait until plague has coliseum drop-related IF events going on, like right now, so I can write down what I get and participate for a place on the leaderboard, pretty badges to show off, and prizes. Little challenges like that motivate me. Otherwise inbetween events and streams, all I can do is exalt maybe 10 or so dragons before I get too bored and I cant make myself train more.

Doing it while split screen with some videos, so I can basically autopilot the Coli while actually watching something I like(this is also for G&G). Or while simultaneously playing a different game and tabbing back and forth every once.

podcasts [emoji=familiar heart size=1] That or I just... don't do it. But coli isn't my main source of profits anyway. I only coli-grind when there's a festival tbh. Podcasts get me through even that tho, so I stand by my suggestion. [emoji=snapper laughing size=1]

I've been grinding the coli so long that I browse the forums while grinding, because scroll doesn't require the forum window to have focus so I'm fighting via muscle memory and peripheral vision. That and lets plays/shows that don't require all the attention/friends streaming games.

[/quote] this this this. in fact I've spent this festival in Harpy's Roost, because I can' get XP in the Scorched Forest or the Volcanic Vents. I also have podcasts playing, or sometimes split-screen with movies, as well as Subeta questing in another tab (there's an event over there too.)

I have to have something to watch on the other half of my screen or I can't focus on coli at all.
