Just hit 200 boards an hour on my sawmill. How should I approach the orchard? Dump everything in the apples until I can make x amount of glass bottles per hour? (In which case, what should I aim for on X?)

Once you hit 300-400 boards and wood, work towards maxing out the orchard so it caps your inventory every day. That’ll give a stupid amount of exploring stamina (and xp) that’ll further let you craft more and get more silver, and so on.

It helps cut down on some of the more tedious quests (I had to collect 100 spiders and just asking in the chat gave me 60 more than I needed) I feel like the daily chore to mail things has really helped cultivate a generous atmosphere. Whenever I get it I just lurk giveaways until someone asks for something common.

(In which case, what should I aim for on X?) Glass bottles are more a “do you have access to ember lagoon?” thing imo- mt banon works ok too. You really just need to be able to make as many per day as you need to make orange juices and lemonades. Each orange juice or lemonade lets you explore, and if you explore for more glass bottle materials it’s pretty easy to get enough bottles for your whole orchard even if you start with just a few seed bottles.

No Ember lagoon yet for me, but I do have Mount Banon. Dumping my stones into glass bottles is going to feel painful, as I need them to make fancy pipes which is my main form of income now, but I guess I'll see how this works out. Assuming I'm dumping my stones into making glass bottles, should I instead start investing into oranges immediately rather than apples?

Sexual Aluminum posted:I get snake for coins and wine, and Armadillo to start grinding screws and such, but why is Squirrel rated so high? In order to be able to craft Lava Spheres regularly, you need at least one pet who can bring each of Runestones 11-20. Red Dragon and Green Dragon bring most of them together, but in order to fill in the gaps, you need to get Frog L6 and then either Snake L6+Squirrel L6, or Spider L6. Since Snake is needed for Wine and Skull Coins, it is often an early L6 regardless of which path you take, and then it just comes down to Squirrel L6 vs. Spider L6, the only two pets who bring RS20. Because of The Collector's quests, which gives 500M Silver for 5 of the drops that come from the first four pets at L6, each of those pets can be considered only costing 500M to reach L6 rather than 1B. So Squirrel is considered the superior choice over Spider. Sexual Aluminum posted:All my skills are in the 90s, with 99 fishing and 99 crafting, and I'm at 79 exploring. This is one is rough to grind, are there any tips? Leveling Exploring sucks, only real tip to give is to spend all your Stamina at the Whispering Creek. I also found the perks that give +XP% for Exploring to be worthwhile.

I need 180 grasshoppers and dragonflies as well as 70 gold peppers if anyone feels like dumping some in my mailbox. I don’t have the bandwidth to sit in trade chat and giveaways right now but will check my mailbox pretty often. Happy to send back some goodies like nets or OJ. So close to being done with ATI E: good now! rafikki fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jun 8, 2022 |

But also I don't think the equation is quite that easy, since more boards/logs coming in = less stam spent there and more stam spent on oak/glass/gems/carbon/whatever which are bringing in the real money at 90+ crafting. tildes posted:Glass bottles are more a “do you have access to ember lagoon?” thing imo- mt banon works ok too.

Each orange juice or lemonade lets you explore, and if you explore for more glass bottle materials it’s pretty easy to get enough bottles for your whole orchard even if you start with just a few seed bottles. Canepole is also sufficient since that gives you the shimmer stones and stone to craft orbs, plus piles up mushrooms on the side (which you probably can't spend time growing since you need other crops for quests if you don't have ember lagoon unlocked yet). And you probably want to start stockpiling tea to make APs once your lemons get rolling, since once you get ember lagoon you won't be wanting to go back to canepole as much.

I mean, while this is true, it just means you don’t wind up doing as many of the wood products. Basically the only thing that requires wood/board/plank that is essential, rather than bonus money or mastery, in the later game is wood for twine. Everything else you can basically ignore or use the spillover from an occasional trip to a lower tier explore zone to handle. It’s not that you can’t do anything with higher wood counts, it’s just not where I’d focus, and I don’t like seeing people post things like “600 wood/hr but I’m not inventory maxed on fruit.”

I'm saying that when talking strictly about ROI, the calculation at endgame is a bit different because of the crafting recipes and other exploration items available, when compared to someone who's still working through unlocking the zones. By the time you get storehouse rolling at +10 inventory a day is probably when you don't need to bother keeping sawmill maxed. I never took mine past 400/400 and have never really felt like I was missing out. e: which pet to Lv6 next?

Since this decision was up for me and I got some help from help chat, I decided to post it here for people in a similar position. Once you have the spare silver for the 1b crop row (I'd suggest getting 4-6 pets to lvl6 before and the very first bil should be storehouse anyway). Here's some numbers to decide if you buy it now or wait for a possible event. Note, currently help chat assumes next event to be around 4th of July. If you don't have lvl90 farming yet, you will be using Grape Juice on Sunflowers (60'480xp per plot) because Beets (90'720xp per plot) unlock at farming 90. You have 32 plots before buying the 1bil extra row which adds 4 more plots. So the math is kinda simple: 32 plots * 4 grape juice uses * 30’240xp (difference between Sunflowers and Beets) = 3'870'720xp per day increase (5'806'080xp/day if you have the 2 extra grape juices from beta) 4 new plots * 4 grape juice uses * 90'720xp = 1'451'520 per day increase (2'177'280xp/day if you have the 2 extra grape juices from beta) So you get 5.3m xp/day for buying the extra row with 4gj uses/day and 7.98m with 6gj uses/day. The 1bil crop row is apparently 1bil xp, the event bonus is expected to be 10% to 25%, so 100m to 250m bonus xp. So it's 20-30 days until buying now is better than waiting for the event. Even less if you have beta for the extra 2 gj uses/day. I ignored xp modifiers from perks and upgrades as I figured they would be the same for both the event bonus and your gj crops. I ignored the xp from normal growing of crops, so in reality the 1b crop row returns the lost bonus xp even quicker. What I am saying is, everyone will be telling you to wait with the 1b crop row for an event, but you should enter your numbers to see if that's really worth it.

I’m guessing the play today is to cash in on antlers? My fishing is a measly 57 compared to exploring 62 and crafting farming 77. Unless goldfins are so rare as to spend it all on 3 of those or something.

I do ocassionally go 'oh man, i need 300 squid, time to go back and get those' and theoretically if I had kept them I might be able to avoid doing this sometimes? but also gently caress it.

Make sure the fish you care about keeping are locked. Then hit LN until you’re starting to get full, sell all, rinse and repeat without ever leaving the fishing screen. Not a critical upgrade, but well worth 25 gold later on when gold isn’t a hugely limiting factor.

I feel a little bad asking for this, but I'm on a part of the quest to unlock the new fishing zone where you need 100 of various gold fishes, and manually fishing is absolutely destroying my wrist/hands. I can fish for about a minute with mealworms before I need to take a break because my wrist starts getting hosed up. Does anyone have an AHK script or something for manual fishing that I could run while I'm sitting at my computer (mealworms or regular fishing)? I'm not planning on like idling overnight or anything, I just need to get through this without breaking my body.
