You can trade Blue Gel in for Grab Bag 7s at the Exchange Center every so often - those drop gold fish. I cleared that quest pretty easily that way (although it may take some time if you haven't been stockpiling those.)

Yeah I have been but my luck has been heavily weighted in the wrong direction.



I also just bought the pet that brings the bags and that was an expensive investment too.

Oof - sorry, can't help you there! Maybe bitching about it has helped your fishing chances - it's worked in the past!

Grab bag 7 for life. That pet is an amazing investment. I should probably get back to farming herb's for ati2.

Grab a few “Cat’s Meow” meals and go to town on manual fishing. With that meal active alongside Double Hooks you’ll get 5-8 gold fish each time you hit it. It speeds that part up significantly.

You’re close enough that I would just spend the time grinding it out. Probably only 15 minutes or so… although not sure TBH.

Oh thats a good idea. I didn't realize it would be that quick. I tried it before and it felt like it took ages.

Yes don‘t forget Cat‘s Meow. You should be able to get plenty of that for free too, I have 100s of them but have no use at all for them. Finished Fishing addict ages ago and I am sitting on 4k grab bag 07.

I just got a quest for 50 Goldfish, luckily I got enough Jack-o-lanterns during Halloween I can get them from the Wishing Well rather than upgrading my Owl

I see what you did there. (It's pretty easy, since ducks have a field of vision spanning 340 degrees.)

SMALL UPDATES:
- At the Wishing Well, you can now toss in multiple of an item at once
- The cost to toss an item into the well after your free tosses is now only 1 gold per item (it used to be a much higher increasing cost of gold per toss)
- There is a new Farm Supply perk to get an additional 10 free tosses daily now
- Today's well toss counts have been reset for everybody if you'd like to make your free tosses again!

Nice. How worth it would those extra 10 wishes be in the long run though?

Also thanks Kaboobi for the cats meow! Big help and I’m nearly done with the gold fishes.

it's 250 gold for the perk, so 10 throws * now 1 gold per throw it pays for itself in 25 days. considering how much crap you end up having to well (looking at you, spiked shells) it's a must-have.

Yeah I'm past most of the quests where the well will help, but still using it to even out my runestone counts for spheres. Not a bad use of my gold now that I've got the t100 inventory perk and a decent mailbox size.

Not sure what you mean.
There is no gold profit from the well so it doesnt pay for itself. Unless you were paying gold to throw in items?

Xerol
Jan 13, 2007


It pays for itself in that if you were to spend gold on 10 throws a day, you come out ahead on the 26th day. Or on the 251st throw, regardless of how many you throw in.

The only thing I have left that is WW worthy is 600 more spiked shells. And I’m in no rush there. I already have 10 throws a day. I might just save my gold… we’ll see.

I don't think it actually makes much sense if you're at the point in the game where you need a lot of things you could get from the well (shells, etc.) but when you're past t100 and inventory space doesn't seem as valuable, or your mailbox is already large enough, and you've already picked up most of the useful gold perks, it doesn't seem too bad.

I bought one of everything for completion's sake, than decided to open enough chests to get 100 turkeys for the time limited profile background.

This was probably a stupid idea. Are turkeys used for anything else?

throw a compass in the well, get a magna core
make a new compass, maybe the +45% chance of duplicating will get you two
repeat, until you have tens/hundreds/thousands of compasses

God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

Also just picked this up recently and am finally starting to pump everything into my sawmill, only to find that if you have enough components to make, say, 25 sturdy shields but only enough silver to make 20 of them, you have "no silver" and are locked out of lowering the number you want to craft, so you can't craft any, to make the silver you need to craft the rest. Cool design :shepface:
