• Longer streaks = exponentially more expensive

No Gold = No Service:

• "Sorry, I don't serve deadbeats, please come back when you have money."

Strategy Guide

Casual Coffee Use:

• Buy only when needed (important fights)
• Accept occasional withdrawal debuff
• Never rehab (too expensive)
• Let VE reset addiction

Daily Coffee Addiction:

• Buy coffee EVERY day (maintain buff, avoid withdrawal)
• Accept escalating costs
• Eventually rehab when addiction too high

Avoiding Addiction:

• Never buy coffee (zero addiction)
• Accept missing buff entirely
• F2P friendly approach

VE Reset

Killing Voldemort resets:

• Consecutive days = 0
• Times today = 0
• Addiction level = 0
• Last size = 0
• Fresh start after VE

Limitations

• Overcomplicated Math: Buff calculation involves 5+ variables
• Diminishing Returns Harsh: Multiple coffees/day = rapidly decreasing benefit
• Rehab Death: 50% chance to die if can't pay (brutal)
• No Addiction Cap: Can reach infinite addiction
• VE Only Cure: Besides expensive rehab, only dragon kill resets
