IMO you should wait to see if either of the spheres are the IOTD but if it’s the final day and you’re still sitting on them, sell baby sell

Definitely this as spheres usually get iotd during events (at least since I’ve been playing).

I sold my red shields that I’d been holding for the event yesterday and they are iotd today. I have sold a couple of inventories of purple handbags today (highland hills feather gathering side effect) so if they go iotd tomorrow I am cursed.

Maybe there’s nothing to be done for it but surely the predictability of event user load means you could scale up resources for that time. Lag just after reset today killed me.

I haven't gone that far in it but I've been doing all my wood/stone/mushroom exploring (mostly to replenish on shovels and hammers) in small spring and converting the extra feathers. I usually have an excess of white parchment anyway because I don't want to spend my paste on diaries. I'm at least going to go until I GM white parchment since I'm getting close on that and finally hit the point where AK is the bottleneck instead of silver.

Someone in global was annoyed about the 200 TP request, so I mentioned it went up to 500 and someone else responded that there's a request for even more TP after that one.

How much do the 4x99 pets help with getting through the tower?

I'm on ATI 2, just spent the 2b on the first stage and I'm probably going to have the food for the second stage together today. (I have plenty of geckoes and spiked shells, but don't have much seaweed.) I'm trying to decide how to prioritize my large nets & silver - either saving silver for the ATI quest line, spending the silver on the 4x99 pets (I'm at 99/99/99/98 right now with 400k stamina saved up, so should be able to push it through when I feel like getting some carpal tunnel), throwing nets for catfish & seaweed, or I guess saving for the 10b farm row.

(I have the 10b storehouse and all the other pets to L6 other than owl, hedgehog, and penguin.)

The 99 pets help a shitload for ATI, particularly the brown bear and capybara.
The bear provides a ton of keys to open up chests for the screws/springs/mechanical bits as well as another source of honey, the capy gives grab bag 07 which is a good source of gold fish.

I'm confused about Mega Beet seeds. It costs 500 beet seeds at the exchange center for 50 mega beet seeds, which yield ten beets when planted. Are they only for saving time I guess?

Basically. They are also much more efficient uses of grape juice. So if you have 4 grape juice per day, you can grow 1440 beets a day (at 36 crop slots), plus whatever you grow in the 24 hours (for me a bunch of corn or mushrooms, and some broccoli overnight), as opposed to just 144. That's a lot more silver and farm xp.

Yeah. You can grow 500 in the time/juice needed to grow 50.

Also apparently it's the only way to get mega seeds except for the onion.

Right, you basically always want to make that trade because one use of grape juice gets you 10x as much money/xp.

I’ve got everything else for ATI saved up and I’m stuck on cogwheels too. Don’t waste the nets, I got 2 cogwheels out of 6 large nets just now. Would be nice to have a well option for them though.

Does voiding an item still count towards mastery or do you need to have the inventory space?

Tahirovic

Voiding counts for masteries.
Mentioning that, the current event mastery bonus always rounds down, so try to craft in even 10s because 9 gets rounded down.

Any tips on how to best blow through exploration levels without wasting a bunch of mats? I’d like to craft things that I’m earning, but I keep getting capped out at WC due to twine or (more often) steel.

Just try not to void garnet, since rings are easy to make if you're keeping up with mushrooms. And the new canoe craft also makes using oak reasonable, if mildly tedious.

Edit: and don't void fruit or salt, hopefully obviously

Once you max salt in your inventory what else is there to do with the salt rock?

e: guess it sells reasonably well
