I shared this in the discord but heres some secrets and tips for candy hunting
SECRETS
-Candy has a very low chance from being found after normal battles
-Events that give candy: Weary Traveler-> Choose to carry (req 30 str) gives 1, Charmweaver -> Choose to craft a banner (req a charm) gives 1, Humble Cottage-> Choose Take Candy: gives 0 to 2, Sealed Tomb-> Random chance for a Candy Stash reward (random required stat) gives 1 to 4.
-Candy Baskets are most common in Zone 1 Treasure fights TIPS
-Try to save candy for tier 2 or 3 monsters, their higher base stats mean they get an even bigger boost from the % increase.
-Candy is food, it can be used at campsites to cook meals to affect your entire party! Really make the most of those stat boosts.
