Is the Onion pet actually worth it for the mega seeds? After this event I'll have extra silver while being AK limited for a while.

Piggy backing on this which pet is the best one to max first? I haven't unlocked the tower yet but I'm coming in close to my next billion and I think a pet might be a good choice since I'm getting locked out of quests due to the lack of rune stones.

I think I did the macaw first but probably the tarantula? Look at what you need vs what they offer and let that guide you. It's pretty funny how fast silver starts coming in with the higher exploration zones and when you start gm'ing basic stuff like iron rings and twine.

The library has a guide as well.

The owl is the worst pet to hit 6 on.

It's pretty nice getting an extra ~100 beets a day, ngl. I'm GMing beets in the next day or two; sure, a bunch of that is from the exchange center trade, but the steady ~12 mega seeds a day definitely does not hurt.

The real power behind countless overlords

I'm not sure what I want to spend gold on. Or rather, there's nothing left that seems exciting. I got a ton of gold from this event and I've got 275 between that and what I'd had saved. Debating between:

A) More mailbox slots - currently have 20

B) More Craftworks slots - currently only have 1
I don't love craftworks because it doesn't count for some things, so it's mostly a way to avoid voiding stuff overnight, and while there are a few things I void overnight, not doing that wouldn't add up to much extra silver/day. Plus, it's nice to wake up and be able to do a big crafting splurge.

C) Sprint Shoes II (I've already got Sprint Shoes I)

D) Miscellaneous upgrades -
Collect-o-matic and Pet Whistle (50)
Wheel Boost & Wheel Bonus (125)

E) Comedy option: Grape Juice Fountain

I don't have the inventory space for the Orchard Land upgrades to be useful.

So, to go through your list:

A) mailbox slots are always nice as long as you actually use giveaways or trade chat and if you have nothing else to spend the gold on - if you ever get beta or above you’ll also get a multiplier to your mailbox (beta is 3x) and I just today got myself to 210

B) Craftworks isn’t about the income, it’s about the mastery grind. And it’s very good for that. The only thing craftworks doesn’t count towards is some “total crafted” metric on your profile which gets used for some merit badge or whatever - you still get counts towards mastery and that makes it the only sane way to GM a bunch of stuff imo. I think it’s really OP and highly recommend getting more slots and using them - for reference I recently got to 8!

C) sprint shoes 2 is pretty decent but only if you’re actually tapping (which I rarely do now). You’ll probably want it when you’re grinding the desert zone for the crest though (aka eventually but probably not now)

D) you should definitely get collect-o-matic and probably pet whistle as well, they’re just QOL but it sucks to have so many clicks to collect pet items otherwise. Wheel boost and wheel bonus are nice but in your situation I’d probably still wait on them until I have other purchases

E) grape juice fountain is actually pretty good! You can grow that many more rice or beets or whatever in a day which is a nice little boost. It’s also great when a request needs a bunch of crops that take a long time to grow and you can just blitz through them. I know it wasn’t optimal, but I also used some GJ to get out of corn jail earlier.

So to summarize, I’d probably go Craftworks to at least 3 or 4 slots, then collect-o-matic and pet whistle? And then whatever tickles your fancy.

Grape juice fountain is a lot of extra silver in a day, I have 4x grape juice per day now and it's been great, especially on mega beet day. The pet one that gives you a "all at once" is worth it, the one that puts it on the home screen isn't necessary in my opinion. I only collect pets every few days as-is so the few clicks just doesn't bother me. I don't think it's a "definitely get."

I am slow on mailbox slots but have definitely bought a couple levels of inventory and stamina - currently the next levels cost 75/105 gold.

Wheel stuff I would wait on until you're drowning in ACs per day and trying to burn them on spins vs spending them at borgen's camp. I do 1-10 spins per day depending on how much I wind up grinding ACs in a given day for other stuff, trying to stay close to cap. If borgen is a bust for the week I spin a ton.

I'm completely drowning in coins. I've got two quests I haven't turned in for going on two weeks now because they give coins and I don't have anything to spend them on even with 3-4 spins a day. On the other hand, I just got to 400 grapes so I think it's going to be a long time before I can afford to consistently run more than 2 grape juices a day (which is already amazing)

I managed to get the necklaces from Mythical Chest 01’s from tower 77 but realise that’s not going to help everyone.

I’m maxxed out on nets and just spent 1000 in PC, so painfully slow. Exploring was even worse, I did a couple of clicks in the haunted house but just left it alone for now. Maybe later today I can get some candy and complete some quests.
