You can also get it from working at Aero's shop, Kuri's shop, or the gym.
Yeah, you're right about that, I have now found the bar. I didn't realize it just doesn't show up in the list at all unless you're there when it's open. Hadn't been many places at different times because I was still under the impression I was supposed to be working every day, since, you know, Boss tells you that, except... literally nothing changes if you miss a day (which the game forces you to do because of progress quest timing). Still can't work anywhere else yet, as far as I can tell.
I'm thinking part of the reason everything is so incredibly unintuitive to me is that at least half the things the NPCs tell you are lies. I think I'd understand better if they were lying 100% of the time rather than me having to try to figure out with almost no context whether they're lying or not.
Now that I have the money required to buy one of the ingredients to become an orc, seems I need to meet someone named Tyde for the last ingredient, at least according to these comments? No idea what triggers meeting them.
And I'm starting to think most events are either completely random and not triggered by anything specific or based on the *exact* time that you do them, down to the minute.
Also, do I even need to do that anymore? Trald hasn't bothered me at all since I got PATS. Maybe I have no reason to train. But in that case, what am I supposed to be doing next?
K well now I'm an orc, but Blood still doesn't show up in the gym, unless he only shows up at a specific unknown time.
Er... I don't know if I somehow managed to do things in a different order even though that part of the progression seemed 100% fully linear to me, or you just don't remember that far back... but first of all, I'm pretty sure you can't meet him before getting the phone. And that app doesn't appear until much, much, much later. But yes, I do have that app. However...you... do realize that if I had met him while I had PATS, I wouldn't be having issues locating him? Like... as far as I could tell based on my playthrough, literally the thing that triggers acquiring PATS *is* going back home after meeting Blood. If there's another pathway, then apparently I just happened to fall into that one unintentionally.
In any case, I've uninstalled the game and don't intend to play it any longer. I'm attributing most of my frustration to game-breaking bugs, but if they aren't bugs, it's so horrifically unintuitive that I have no possibility of ever enjoying myself while playing it.
