Imagine heading home after a long day, and the geisha you've been chatting with pitches you a bizarre business idea in🥀volving her cavalcade of cats. Is that a business you would invest in? As wacky as it sounds, Usugumo Dayu's Cat Concierge service is a significant asset in .

The Cat Concierge service is Usugumo's way of socializing her cats, which involves sending them out to accompany others on their missions. The cats return with 💞a bounty of items when their service is done. But how does this cat-for-hire business work? Keep reading, and we'll walk you through the basics of assigning your cats to missions and how to make your concierge service its very best.

What Is The Cat Concierge?

The Cat Concierge service sounds much more ambitious when Usugumo describes it compared to what it is. All you need to know is that it is one of Rise Of The Ronin's passive reward systems.

You'll send out the cats you've collected to take on missions for clients. Completing these missions strengthens your bond with the client and the area where the mission takes place. Plus, you'll receive splendid rewards as payment!

Where Do I Access The Cat Concierge Menu?

You can access the Cat Concierge menu whenever you visit your longhouse. Follow the steps below:

1. Enter your longhouse.
2. Select the Housekeeping tab.
3. A new row of options will appear next to the Housekeeping tab. Choose Cat Concierge from this list.

How To Rent Out Cats

Upon entering the Cat Concierge menu, you'll see empty slots labeled "Standby." Select a Standby slot to proceed to mission selection. You'll see there are several missions you can assign to your cats. Highlight the mission you wish to assign and press cross (X) to select it.

Breaking Down Mission Specs

When you highlight a mission, you'll see🃏 its brief on the right side of the screen. Catไ Concierge mission briefs contain the following information:

• Description: A paragraph snippet that explains what the client is asking for.
• Location: Where the mission takes place. Your Area Bond will increase in this location once the mission is complete.
• Client: The person hiring your cats for the mission. Completing missions for Ronin will increase your Ronin Bond. If you complete a mission for another character (ex, Matthew Perry), you'll improve your Personal Bond with them.
• Request: The number of cats and time required to complete this mission. Some missions are unavailable until you've collected enough cats to lend out for them.
• Recommended Stats: The recommended Cat Concierge Stats to complete the mission.
• Rewards: A list of the rewards you'll receive after completing the mission.

What Are Cat Concierge Stats?

Did you see the term "Cat Concierge Stats" and do a double-take? Don't worry, so did we. Fortunately, Cat Concierge stats are simply the stats of the cats in your roster. They mirror the game's Primary Stats: Strength, Dexterity, Charm, and Intellect.

The only way to raise your 🀅Cat Concierge Stats is by collecting cats. So, if you lack stats for a particular mission, you havﷺe more feline-hunting to do.

Cat Concierge Rewards

To receive your rewards, return to your longhouse after the Cat Concierge mission time has passed. Upon entering, you'll see an info card displaying your rewards. Items with a cat icon in the lower lefthand corner are rewards gained from Cat Concierge missions.

Your Cat Concierge rewards will depend on how many other online players lent their cats to the same mission.

Missions with blue up-arrows next to them have fewer cats assigned to them, meaning they'll give out more rewards. On the other hand, missions with red down-arrows next to them are oversaturated with other players' cats, thus yielding fewer rewards.

How Can I Improve My Cat Concierge Service

Witnessing the Cat Concierge service's benefits doesn't take long. (After all, who doesn't love some passive income?) So, this begs the question: how can you get more rewards and take on more missions? You can improve your Cat Concierge service by collecting more cats and bonding with Usugumo Dayu.

Cat Collecting

If you wish to run a thriving Cat Concierge service, it makes sense to collect more cats. More cats equals more labor (And you can pay them in catnip; what a deal!). If you've started your Cat Concierge business, you already know how to collect cats. But if you're st🎃ruggling to find furry friends, here'🉐s what you need to remember:

1. Raise your Area Bonds by restoring public order, taking down fugitives, completing chance encounters, etc.
2. When you raise your Area Bond, cat locations appear on your map.
3. Travel to these locations and pet the cat to collect it.
   1. Remember that Calico cats must be approached quietly, or they will run away!

When you collect more cats, you gain two essential boons. First, your labor pool will increase, allowing you to pursue missions requiring more cats. Second, your Cat Concierge Stats will increase, and you can take on missions with higher stat re👍qu💦irements.

Bonding With Usugumo Dayu

Owning more cats is not much of a benefit if you don't have enough open mission slots. This is where comes in. One vital Bond Bonus she offers is additional Cat Concierge Client slots. The following Personal Bond Le💦vels rewar🅰d client slots:
