Would you bother with bank perks once your 4x99 and 100-odd floors up the tower?

I only ask because I seem to have over 1300 gold and don’t see anything else to spend it on.

I'm 100 floors up the tower and the extra 100m still doesn't seem worth the gold and I have 1500 kicking around.

Autocrafting slots or the inevitable cooking perks that are going to show up.

Yeah I have 7 autocraft slots and I'm just waiting for the cooking stuff to drop to dump some gold into

It's never worth it. Go into /trade and trade gold for large nets instead.

Don't forget to save 500-700 gold for cooking, when it releases.

Vault guesses is just saving you ancient coins isn't it? I don't know what a good gold:AC ratio would actually be, but I'm likely never gonna get it lol

Those extra AC could be spent on more wheel spins which by endgame is a huge value in terms of OJ/lemonade/nets compared to other perks that have silver benefits. I think even with optimal play there's a not-insignificant percentage of vault codes that can't be done in 4 guesses.

ACs are limited and annoying to get until you get a level 6 brown bear, at which point you're getting 12 large chest 01s and treasure keys per day (meaning up to 1200 ACs per day). I spin the wheel about 20 times per day, for example.

I didn't even know you could try past 4 guesses on the vault by spending ancient coins, I've never failed it (I got extra guess a few days after the vault became available) :smug:

I finally grinded up 600 herbs for a towering investment, just waiting on mushrooms to grow to finish it. Almost at 10 billion but I figure I should save for the tower quests rather than buy the crop row, now that I'm at 99 farming. Nowhere near 99 exploring so no sense stockpiling for the pets I guess.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Im T120 and dont have banker perks nor the extra guess.
Getting millions of gold for free from the bank sounds super useful when you are new but by the time you might have gold left over to buy those perks you make billions per day.

As far as the extra guess, again by the time you have room to buy it 50AC to buy extra guesses is a drop in the bucket.

I'm at tower 96 and have about 1/4 of the silver I would need to get to 100. Current GM progress:



Is it worth cashing out all my chests/etc. to finish things up now, since the tower 100 reward is such a big deal, or should I just wait until I have the silver to push for the AK?

Yeah I just do not have the inventory space (until tower 100) or the time to click through in small batches to use up all my chests/grab bags/etc.

e: Also I turned off the halloween theme because it made the site completely illegible on desktop but it seems fine in that screenshot; was it updated after the original release or does it just look different on a phone?

I saw one of the updates said they changed the font on some stuff to make the theme better but I don’t normally use desktop. I just took a peek on my computer and it looks ok to me?

The only trick for manual fishing is to do it on Mobile, or risk a ban by using an auto-fish script.

They gave us those free meals a few weeks ago or whatever, I decided to try one out today. I of course did not look at before/after numbers so take this with a grain of salt but this was my strategy for mushroom stew (+10% mastery):

Gather Mega Beet Seeds over the past few days so I would have farm*grapejuice worth. Let my overnight crops finish. Hit the stew. Harvest, beet+grapejuice x4, then just did some fast crops.

This is obviously able to be further optimized with some overnight accumulation crafting like orchard stuff but I didn't think about that.

What are YOU PEOPLE doing?

TBH I'm not, but I'd probably eat one of those before spamming 700 large nets to make fishing masteries go quicker.

I'm a few floors from 70 so once I hit that I'm going to do just that and see if I can mop up some more fishing GMs.

Otherwise that 3x harvesting cookie is definitely going towards mega beets. Did we find out if it works if you use it at the very end of the night so you could effectively double your GJ uses during those 5 minutes?

If you dig through enough poo poo you will sometimes get quests that reward like 25 spiked shells or some other thing that's annoying to grind. And you use the peach juice for particularly bad quests (like those requiring items from those hard grinds)

I am saving them for whenever I find myself being awake for the server reset (8 AM, I'm a late sleeper...) so I can double dip on the grape juice.

Also combine with spooky cookies.

If it works like the Double Prizes perks then it just needs to be active when you harvest.
