Is there any trick to raptor fighting? I'm just making sure they have swords and shields and occasionally feeding them grape juice. My one good one just got promoted to a new league so now wins 10% instead of 90% which sucks.

There's not really a trick. Items are really powerful for low level raptors but once they get higher level, the fights end so fast that the turn they spend activating the item can cause your raptor to get hit and lose. The best thing you could do would be to send in a new raptor with items once the W/L ratio drops below 1, but it's probably not worth micromanaging.

I don’t think items consume a raptor’s turn anymore.

I feel like it’s worth investing in so you can make the number of grape juices you use in a day.

Beyond that though :shrug:

You will eventually be able to get all the Grape Juice and Wine you need through the Mandrill and Snake, respectively, but the A Way Back quest line requires 521 Wine to complete, and you’ll want to work on Wine/Grape Juice mastery anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to have the ability to create it yourself. I currently have 700 grapes/day, because with the Resource Saver perks that was sufficient to be able to create 4 Grape Juice/day until I got a Level 6 Mandrill.

LLSix posted:

I've read both gold perk lists, and I think I have all the essentials. I'm not sure what to get next though. Currently I'm trying to decide between:

a) grape juice pitcher. I want this eventually but I'm low on grape juice right now and another round of pumpkins would only net ~60k a day.

b) extra guess at the vault. If it's the difference between succeeding or not, its an extra ~100k, but it won't be every day, so call it ~50k a day

c) Banker III - I'm saving up for a quarry, so this'd be 200-300k a day except when I empty out my account, but neither guide likes it which is confusing.

Grape juice pitcher is great. More GJ uses are always useful.

Extra guess at the vault is worthless. You can almost always guess in 4 or 5. If you need a 5th guess just pay the 50 AC - don’t waste the gold. My strat is always 1234 as my first guess, 5678 as my second guess, and working in 90 as my third guess. Obviously modify it as needed if you get all the numbers early. In my 63 vaults, I’ve solved 100% and in 4 or 5 guess all times except one where I needed 6.

Banker in general is one of the lowest return investments. I make 8m per day without any upgrades, and the lowest ROI upgrade would allow me to increase that to 16m for 50 gold. For comparison, I can throw a single large net in pirate cove (end game fishing area) and make that 8m. And I’m making many large nets each day. I would avoid the banker perks unless the passive income is really attractive to you for some reason (like you’re going on vacation for a bit).

I would suggest upgrading craftworks or buying some inventory if it’s still cheap. Some people will advise against buying inventory (as you get some passively each day) but I find that getting 100 extra inventory early can really feel like jumping forward in progression.

Is there a trick to getting the rare drop in the desert or am I just going to mindlessly be spamming "continue" for 10 stamina at a time until I get the ultra rare drop so I can build this compass thing?

I hope they don't do a questline like this again. It's bad enough trying to get rare drops when I can spam ciders and APs.

Spend some corn and don't try to min/max it. If the sandworm eats 100 stam off a 10xOJ so be it. I'm at 16/click.

The current price for me to upgrade exploring in Jundland is 10,000 corn. I can't imagine what it took to get to 16, or the storage space needed.

Inventory for gold is worth it until like 250g per, depending on a lot of factors.

Early on it‘s just 50 apples/oranges/lemons more each day, depending on Orchard upgrades.
Later on, when you have enough raptors, it‘s around 40m silver/day due to passive antlers for LNs in PC.

That is all next to making the game easier in general.
So before you consider buying any Bank perks, look at inventory upgrades.
