Daily and Weekly Tycoon Routine

Quick answer: Every day, collect and restock your Cafe, then farm Chiz until each hit pays 1 Fon. Every week, spend all of your City Stamina before Monday, then do the Auction House, Realm of Greed, and Special City Delivery. Every two weeks, run the Pink Paws Heist until you reach its 1,000,000 Fons cap. Skip nothing that costs no Stamina.

City Tycoon pays best when you treat it as a routine, not a one-time grind. Most of its Fons sources reset on a fixed timer, and anything you miss is gone. This guide puts those timers in one place so you can see what to do, and when.

When Things Reset

Timer	What resets
Daily	Chiz's daily Fons cap, daily quests, shop and gift limits, and open-world enemies
Every Monday	City Stamina, the Auction House, Realm of Greed, and the Special City Delivery
Every two weeks	The Pink Paws Heist Fons cap
Whenever you log in	Your Cafe earnings, which keep building while you're offline

Sources disagree on the exact hour of the daily and weekly reset. One guide says 5:00 AM server time, and another says the Monday refill happens at 4:00 AM (UTC+8). Treat it as early morning, server time, and don't leave your Stamina until the last minute on Sunday.

Daily Tycoon Routine

Do these in order. The first two are the ones worth doing even on a short session.

Collect your Cafe earnings. Open The Cafe by Origen, collect from every shop you own, and unlock any new recipes.
Fix the shelf and restock. Put the highest-priced dishes on the shelf, then restock for 24 hours. If a shop runs out of ingredients, its earnings stop completely.
Farm Fons with Chiz (Tycoon Level 18 and up). Hold her attack on enemies until each hit pays only 1 Fon. That means you've reached the daily cap. See Chiz Fons Farming for the two fastest methods.
Claim your daily quests. One guide lists "Earn 10,000 Fons" as one of the four tasks, so your normal routine usually clears it for you.
Spend a share of your Stamina. Aim for about one seventh of your weekly cap each day. At the 700 cap, that's roughly 100 points.
Check the Hunter Exchange after every level-up. New stock appears without a prompt. See Hunter Exchange.

Optional Daily Extras

These come from a single guide each, so treat them as bonuses and not as part of your core routine.

Hamster Ball Module: one guide says the Hamster Ball in the Eden Apartments gives a free Module each day, and that you need Hathor unlocked. See Property and Apartment for how to buy Eden.
NPC loot (Tycoon Level 16 and up): one guide says you can loot up to four Lost Wallets a day, plus Commuter Briefcases. The Fons inside count toward the new Puka Membership Program.

Weekly Tycoon Routine

Do these once a week, ideally right after the Monday reset, so you can't forget them.

Task	Needs	Costs Stamina?	Notes
Spend all City Stamina	Any Tycoon Level	It is the Stamina	1,000 Fons per point. Unspent points are lost on Monday.
Ebisu's Auction House	Story progress	No	Grab Gluttonous Eyes and Covetous Coins to upgrade Blind Mammon. Let rival bidders settle before you bid.
Realm of Greed	Wiener Apartments and Blind Mammon active	No	Upgrade Blind Mammon with auction items first. Payout: TBD, sources disagree.
Special City Delivery	Eden Apartments and the Old Mailbox active	No	Upgrade the Old Mailbox before you accept, so the reward scales up.

Spend All Your City Stamina

This is the biggest weekly habit, because every hobby pays the same 1,000 Fons per point. Spread your Stamina across the week, and use City Delivery for large chunks when you're short on days. See City Stamina and Hobbies for how each hobby compares.

If you're close to a level that raises your cap (5, 10, 16, or 23), reaching it before the reset gives you the bigger pool for that week.

The Weekly Fons Activities

The Auction House, Realm of Greed, and Special City Delivery all depend on your apartments and their Anomaly Furniture. If one of them won't start, check that the right furniture is placed and active. Furniture effects don't stack across properties, so see Property and Apartment before you buy a new home.

Check the Cafe for Long Gaps

Your warehouse holds up to 72 hours of ingredients. If you won't log in for more than a day, use a 72-hour restock, then go back to 24 hours once you're playing every day.

Every Two Weeks: Pink Paws Heist

The Pink Paws Heist unlocks at Tycoon Level 10 and costs no Stamina. Its Fons reward is capped at 1,000,000 Fons per two-week cycle, so the goal is to reach that cap before the cycle ends.

Efficient runs pay roughly 100,000 to 200,000 Fons, so the cap takes about five to ten runs.
After the cap, you can keep running it for Paw-Paw Coins. Only the Fons stop.
The "Current" Challenge Targets reportedly reset on the same two-week timer, so finish them before the cycle ends.

New in Version 1.4: one guide says the 1,000,000 cap is now a shared fund called the Tycoon Encouragement Fund, which the Heist, Beach Volleyball, and the Going, Going, Gone! auction display all fill together. We don't have confirmed Stamina costs or payouts for those two new activities yet. Another guide says Puka Membership levels raise the fund cap slightly, to 1,050,000 Fons at Puka level 4. Check your own cap in the in-game activity list.

What to Do at Your Level

Your stage	Focus
Levels 1 to 3	Spend Stamina on Swift Travel and Sea Angler, and finish the early tasks.
Levels 4 to 9	Open the Cafe and restock daily. Buy your first apartments so the weekly activities unlock.
Levels 10 to 15	Add the Pink Paws Heist every cycle, and add City Delivery to your Stamina plan.
Levels 16 to 17	Open the Puka Membership Program, and watch your Stamina, because each action costs double from here.
Level 18 and up	Add Chiz's daily farming until you hit her lifetime cap.
Level 23 and up	You have the full 700 Stamina, so spending it all every week is worth about 700,000 Fons.

A Simple Schedule

Every login (short):

Every Monday (a little longer):

Every two weeks:

Run the Heist until you reach the cap.
Clear the Challenge Targets if you've planned for them.

Common Mistakes

Leaving Stamina unspent on Sunday. It's gone at the Monday refill, along with the Fons it would have earned.
Letting the Cafe run out of stock. Earnings stop completely until you restock.
Farming Chiz after the daily cap. Once each hit pays 1 Fon, stop.
Skipping the weekly furniture activities. Realm of Greed and the Special City Delivery need their Anomaly Furniture active first.
Forgetting the Heist cycle. The cap resets every two weeks, and unused room doesn't carry over.
Upgrading nothing before a weekly activity. The Blind Mammon and Old Mailbox upgrades raise the reward.

FAQ

What should I do first every day? Collect your Cafe earnings and restock it. It's the one source that keeps earning while you're offline.

Does City Stamina carry over to the next week? No. It refills every Monday, and unspent points are lost.

How often does the Pink Paws Heist reset? Every two weeks, with a cap of 1,000,000 Fons per cycle. One guide says weekly, but most sources agree on two weeks.

Which weekly activities cost no Stamina? The Auction House, Realm of Greed, and the Special City Delivery. The Heist is also free, but it runs on a two-week cycle.

Do I need Chiz for this routine? No. She only adds a daily top-up from Tycoon Level 18, and her Fons have a lifetime cap.

This guide is compiled from player guides, with details checked up to Version 1.4. Some numbers differ between sources, the exact reset hour isn't confirmed, and the weekly payouts are still marked TBD. We update it as each detail is confirmed in-game.
