I assume PHRs are tied to your levels in some way, even the bad ones at 4x99 are offering 50m silver. If you're lower level and that's the best offer you're getting, I might just consider not doing them until you've progressed farther.

Yeah, keeps looking like the amount/items requested is the same for everyone, but your rewards are much better at higher levels.

pump up your sawmill to 50-100% of your inventory and look up “sawmill silver” in the library and you’ll be raking in hundreds of millions in silver per day super quick

after you have a sawmill going, make the orchard fill up your entire inventory every day and you’ll make even more money on exploring

Finally looked up sawmill silver today because I spaced on the second half of your suggestion. I am printing money now. Doing 74 wood and 29 boards/hr from the sawmill now, up from 10 yesterday. I also added a few more trees.

Yeah seriously.

For reference, here’s what I would consider to be a mediocre-to-bad request at 4x99.

Interesting how fast those scale up. I'm level 88/99/96/87 and they generally offer me roughly 5m each. Unless they scale with something other than skill levels maybe

I’ve got the green dragon and she’s loading me up with runestones. I’ve used them to build just a couple lava spheres, which I tossed into storage.

Is it safe to burn runestones at this point, or are there quests that require like 500 of Runestone 16? Can I safely start manufacturing spheres to sell on the market, or is someone going to come along and ask for 500 of them, too?

86/99/99/90, btw.

According to buddy.farm you need about 6 total of each runestone for quests. However you will apparently also need quite a few for the tower at various levels. Over 300 in some cases. I have no idea how fast the tower is levelled up though so I'm not sure how pressing that need is

You get them from the tower. The only thing you need for advancing in the tower is gold and ascension knowledge.

Yeah, you are reading it backwards, the Tower is giving items in those amounts at those levels.

Keep one of each sphere in the storehouse. Sell everything else to get your billions. Level 90-99 exploring sucks. I’m only at 96 and it’s been a week or more.

the correct move is to put one of each sphere in the storehouse and then craft and sell the rest of the spheres you craft. Don’t worry about saving Runestones at that point you’ll be drowning in them

the crawl to exploring 99 is easily the worst part of the game, even level 93 or so is only halfway there

Roughly 44% of the way through corn jail, and still no Runestone 11 in sight. I'm coming up on my first billion silver, though and sorely tempted to spend on lvl 6 owl so I can just get the runestone that way. Is this a bad idea?

Kaboobi

yes because the owl will be your only source of honey for a long long long time, and leveling the owl up to 6 from level 5 cuts that by a few honey per day

for reference: I'm currently STILL honey gated doing the very very endgame quests, and just made my owl 6 to get some goldfish for another endgame quest

go for the frog if you're currently gated by gold leafs, or the macaw as a massive silver generator

Welp, finally done with all requests except that one they added to give you another mystical staff if you had junked yours before they added a new quest line that needed obe. I guess it’s time to settle into the grand mastery grind.

I somehow got 3 of the 5 required goldfish for the collector quest without taking the owl to L6. Is there a way to get the last two I need for that quest without upgrading the owl? I really don’t want to do it before I have to, but can’t recall where I got the three goldfish I have.

Getting your Tower to Level 49 provides 140 of them.

There's really no hidden way to speed up the explore grind, is there? Beyond burning as much stamina at WC as possible?
