Storehouse, then macaw, then farm, then frog (if you need leaves and feathers, then GD is the typical recommendation.

If I need glass bottles, which zone is the most optimal to explore for them? I'm assuming Ember Lagoon but I haven't done the math.

Ember I would think as it drops orbs then all you need is stone.

Ember also gives you Emberstone, which can be crafted with Sandstone into Unpolished Shimmer Stone, which is crafted into Shimmer Stone, which is crafted into Glass Orbs.

So yeah, Ember Lagoon is probably your best bet.

Ember also drops the stone. I've actually been doing cane pole lately, since it drops shimmer stones and stone, as well as mushrooms and wood (and tea leaves which I suddenly need a ton of for quests).

I'm currently at a point where my raptors are outpacing my inventory growth for antlers, and with the hayfield cranked way up I need tons of wood for straw (I did upgrade the sawmill but that only gives logs once per hour). Even with a full inventory of straw every half hour I'm still not using all my antlers in a day.

gecko jail sucks worse than corn jail

at least with corn i could rotate crops every hour or w/e, with geckos i'm either wasting exploring energy or just waiting until tomorrow to throw another 10 crab claws at the problem & hope for frogless%

you'll need 100 for ATI, and it'll give you that many back once you climb a few levels in the tower

don't spend 60 on strange companions until you do that, it's a trap

honestly the spiked shells/seaweed/water lilies were worse because each large net I threw in was like 8m silver down the drain

For the record, I threw 1000 mealworms at Emerald Beach and didn't get a single Spiked Shell, so their drop rate is worse than Golden Fliers.

I held out hope that a day or 2 of manual fishing could get me around wasting large nets, but it's the only way short of winning the PHR lottery.

yeah once you have the geckos/sea dragons you need immediately pivot to dumping salt into the wells for spiked shells because the rate on those is brutal

So keep at least 600 salt around and dump the rest into the well, 50% a toss is better than the fishing drops, I need to upgrade my well to 9 tosses

Also perk sets from Patreon so that I could have otherwise suboptimal +xp perks.

I’ve got two today that are absolutely awful.

Oranges and Glass for Leather


Oranges and Broccoli for…. Cucumbers and Pearls



I would do the reverse of these trades without a second thought.

My 3rd PHR was solid though



The problem of course is that is two peach juices drank today out of a very small supply. It really needs to cost half or less the number of peaches to craft one at this point.

What's up corn rune buddy. I was a little luckier and got it after ~4500 corn, but the next quest needs runestone 16 so I'm back to planting hops :sigh:

At least these grow considerably quicker, and even if my luck is atrocious I know I'll get a runestone from the 99 bottles quests eventually.

99 Bottles LXXX rewards Runestone 16, I hope you get it before then.

Runes are a bit of a 'watched clock' syndrome. Same with raptor eggs. As soon as you get past the desparate need for one they start dropping pretty regularly.

Certain quests will need Flour, but otherwise, yes. But once you get to that point, you’ll probably want to be farming Mushrooms full time. Cooking is a feature that has been out on the development roadmap for some time, presumably Flour will have a lot more uses once that finally gets implemented.
