Sea Dragons are needed and quite rare but they are grindable so its not a huge deal to miss out on 7.

Sea dragons are rare (and are used in a couple late game quests) but I think CC completion is more that barracuda are a common result from Large Island fishing so it痴 easy to donate a bunch to pump up your donations amount to work towards those achievements.

That makes sense, I kinda figured you couldn't mail anything obtained for a locked down zone.

Wow, getting to $10M and building a quarry is drastically accelerating my money making and crafting progress. I thought it was good getting a sawmill in place and to 100-ish boards/woord/hr, but now that I can get stone as well I can use my stone & wood for pipes and my boards for shields... I can see how this will continue to snowball.

Getting to Parts Unknown XX and Islands are Hard to Catch feels like hitting a huge wall. I had hoped I'd unlock Whispering Creek in time to finish to quench the worst thirst vii but I don't think there's any chance of that happening now. Like an idiot, I didn't buy the lemur until I got Parts Unknown XX because I thought... who needs all these bugs? Now being 40/128 on beetles feels really bad... =(

Im exactly where you are right now, racing for WC before the 31st, but the limiter is gold leaves (and to a lesser extent dice and spectacles). All of my bugs came from giveaway chat, and I only had to ask once for each type before my mailbox was flooded.

I知 42/64 for leaves and should get the rest by Thursday. I知 a little worried about magna quartz through. I have enough for the quest but not enough to craft the compass. I知 hoping the 100 lemonade and orange juice rewards for the Parts Unknown XX will sort that out.

Also, I知 stocking 750 corn, because of course that what they want next.

I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS GAME WHO GETS LAID
What should I be aiming for with inventory space? Just up it as the quests start to require more than I can stock at once? I feel like using gold for it is a bad idea considering all the perks I need? I did have to buy one inventory size upgrade, so I'm only at 256 now (just got the Farmhouse).

Once you get the storehouse just bump the storehouse痴 per-day inventory increment each time you can. (Your first 1b should almost always go to the Storehouse upgrade.) at this point I知 getting 12/day from my storehouse, so spending gold on inventory upgrades is pretty meh.

Klungo make bessst ever video game, 'Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World.'

Spending Gold on Inventory space is good, especially the earlier you do it. I致e bought +200 for 150g (my max inventory is currently 1208), and I値l probably stop there. When you are just getting going, inventory space caps you on how much stamina you can get from the orchard, how many grape juice or wine you can make a day (which limits silver gain and farming XP), which quests you can complete, the amount of output you can manage from the Sawmill/Quarry/Hay Field, and other stuff. Being able to boost all of those things is certainly worth a bit of gold. +50 inventory for 15g is a steal at the early levels.

Your inventory space determines your entire income in the game after the early part and you have your sawmill and orchards started. Definitely drop a little bit of gold into some upgrades at the start (maybe up to +200) and every milestone silver amount you get put into the storehouse first.

I think I was around 6000+ corn grown when I got my first Runestone 11. Now there's another quest for another Runestone 11, and I'm at 8000 corns and haven't gotten it yet.

Do a way forward, it will give you a sphere that you don稚 have to pay to craft at the end.

Anyone who needs gold leaves check your locksmith. Large chest 01 has 100 of the ancient coins and we致e gotten a lot of treasure keys from quests and stuff lately.

Get the lemur, it's better to have excess bugs on hand than discover you don't have enough for requests weeks from now. Level 5 baboon and owl are a good investment because their loot pools have a ton of useful things.

IMO get the Owl up to level 5 ASAP and leave him there, you will need literally 3000 honey for various poo poo and at level 5 the owl drops like 10 a day and that's the only source of honey until you get 99 in all stats

source: the current two quests I have available I can work on are waiting for honey drops for a quest that needs 200 and a quest that needs 600

Okay I have 500 of each orchard tree, 500 hourly in sawmill, hayfield, quarry, what do I upgrade/unlock next?

Is 500 grapes a priority or should I level the owl pet or something with my money. I'm making prooobably 50-70 million a day by making lanterns for a benchmark.

E: I suppose a level 4 owl is only 10m which is extremely doable and is 80% as good as a level 5 owl so that seems an obvious purchase.

I think 300 grapes to make 3 wine a day to put in the cellar is the first break point, then enough to make enough juice to take advantage of all of your grape juice usages is the next.

Think about increasing trees/boards/wood to match inventory capacity each day. This works for me but then I work from home so I can log in and craft every hour. I知 in a meeting right now in fact lol.

Grapes - well wine starts off kinda not important then kind of becomes a nice money maker then you end up needing quite a bit for quests so it痴 worth being able to make a few a day but remember that you値l get a pet that provides GJ eventually.

What about cows and chickens? I can't do pigs and up yet as I think I still need to buy farm upgrades (currently it's 100m to upgrade farm capacity and 25m for a feedmill or flour mill)

Where am I going?
Man corn jail is nothing compared to hops jail, at least with corn jail you can check in every hour, hops you to check every 4 minutes. Runestone 16 is the last one I need and I知 close to mastering hops without seeing it. I知 tempted to just wait until I知 farm lvl 80 and can get the guaranteed rune from the 99 bottles quest but exp from crops is so slow And I知 only lvl 75 right now (already have the 100 mil crop row). So I知 kind of stuck farming items for lanterns and continually planting hops until I find one naturally
