Judd: Vibe Rank Bonus

Vibe Rank and Rewards

The more wins you string together, the more you ascend the vibe meter ranks, receiving a flag for each win. There are four ratings on the vibe meter, each determined by the number of flags you possess. However, you can lose flags too. Losing a match results in a penalty, potentially dropping your vibe rank.

So what’s the point? Judd, the sleepy cat in the Plaza, will reward you with gold, giving different amounts based on your vibe rank—the higher the rank, the more gold you’ll receive. These bonuses can only be claimed once per rank per day, and you will be awarded all unclaimed bonuses for previous ranks. For example, say on a Monday you reach Toasty rank and talk to Judd, who then awards you 100 bonus gold. Later on that same day, you reach Smokin’ Rank and talk to Judd once again, and he will award you 300 additional bonus gold. On Tuesday, you reach Smokin’ Rank again, but this time you did not talk to Judd while you were Toasty rank. When you go talk to Judd, he will award you 400 bonus gold: 100 for Toasty and 300 for Smokin’—this bonus is awarded all at once and isn’t shown as a separate 100 and 300 bonus. So make a habit of speaking to Judd at least once per day, preferably at the end of your play session.
