Cooking artifact wont make anyone really happy. It was discussed to either make it give more skill or reduce cooking time. That would have annoyed 50% either way. Also, if you don‘t like the artifact you haven‘t experienced how annoying Leek and Onions are.

I’m just about 50 cooking and honestly thats a huge part of why. That and yelling at my nest hub to set a timer. Also speaking of cooking, if anyone can’t get certain food in Giveaways always ask here. I’m trying to stockpile so I can help out as I was. Or yell at me in game if I’m online (same as here)

As an aside, should I kill my day's apple yield for Ciders? I've been sorta using them (w/ Cinnamon Sticks) but just wind up running out of OJ/Apples before running out of Ciders.

You’ll be doing that eventually. I’m maxed out on ciders at this point with hundreds of apples left over.

Making bone broth tradable would help everyone, since it gives lower level cooks something to spend their time on that can be profitable.

Make every cooking process produce double meals + double XP/mastery from actions would satisfy everyone and would not be busted imo.

My Tower is open for business.  ...And now back to grinding watermelons. EDIT: A couple of progress questions. On the one hand, I'm up to 338 gold again, and debating about a few upgrades. 1) Grape Juice Waterfall is expensive but would definitely speed up crop progress, either for quest needs or for silver. 2) I don't need Orchard Land quite yet (850 trees + the 30% boost daily, ~1200 inventory), but I'm getting closer. 3) Conversation Skills I and II would be an extra 200m silver per day. 4) I could add slots #3 and #4 to my Craftworks and be close to #5, as I understand that masteries will be important for Tower progress. I have about 1500 AKs remaining at this point. On the other, questlines. Wall in the Way is frozen in place until the PoH drops. I have a month to grind Frozen crops and try to finish GLE III, whose honey can go towards either A Way Back (which looks lucrative, at least for a while) or Defenses and Consequences/Strange Companions, which has a lot of lore but apparently nothing dramatic in its rewards. Giamics' Jubilee was great at first but 1000 Gold Leaves is nasty. delfin fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Jan 28, 2023 |

I’ve mostly been ignoring raptor claws as just an annoying non-egg find when exploring. Should I just be burning them on new raptors with terrible stats or is there a better use on buffing higher ranked fighters later? I keep all my active fighters stocked with shields and swords but I have one with 2s in 5 of 6 stats that is currently 43-2348 and has yet to gain a point in anything.

Given how terrible actually managing which raptors are fighting etc I just spam them into a random raptor that is fighting and never swap them out.

A hearty thank you to the goons contributing to my glucose reserves with gallons of orange juice. Much appreciated. I’m “mussel cop” in game. I think I’m at a bit of a stagnation point / not sure what to do next. Skills are high 50s, low 60s. I’ve got various quests to continue to grind. But I’m sitting on 15M silver, a fortune to me, and not sure what to buy next. I’m assuming my profile page is enough to show seasoned players where my bottleneck is but let’s see I’ve got 4 pets, 60 of each fruit per day, 6 rows in farm, 100 boards/hr from sawmill. 120 chickens and 60 cows. Farm buildings available are ironworks (but I have the unlimited iron/nails thing from gold), farmhouse, and quarry available. Thanks!

Is the ironworks required to unlock steelworks? The steelworks is at least a little useful and will also occasionally drop runes, but ironworks itself is pointless if you already have the depot upgrade. Farm house is an ok upgrade, otherwise throw it at the sawmill until you have 100 million for the next storehouse imo.

Ironworks isn’t completely useless because it occasionally produces small screws which can be tough to get until you have tons of large chest 02s. Upgrading it after buying it is useless though.

Unlocking (but not upgrading) the ironworks also has the benefit of removing it from the drop table in certain exploring zones, meaning you get the other items when iron would have dropped.

I am now approaching the slog™. I was about to post in here what I should spend my money on because PC was lice, but then ATI I dropped. Glad I had the 2b+ on hand. In any case I'm only on ATI II and while the crops should be fine to produce, I'm only 382/600 on herbs. Luckily I read some advice about not dropping honey on AWITW I in prep for the tower. Still loving the game, as there's enough to do when active, but if there isn't enough time to play in a day that's OK too.

I only have 3 slots so I have to tweak it a bit depending on what I'm working on GM'ing but Twine, Wooden Sword, Chum is the current lineup. Manually crafting buckets and rope->nets->LN when needed. Already GM'd most of the easy iron/stone items.

I'm doing board plank box right now for gm stuff and friendship. I have 5 slots so I tend to also do twine then something with the twine like rope/yarn. I still manually craft nets because it's only 2 cycles of maxed rope+twine.

I'm at 7 slots and will probably bump it up another one or two now that I'm at the langstaff crest grind. Might as well gm desert stuff while I grind! 4 seemed like enough earlier, but it's so convenient to have more. Also finally done with frozen crops. I don't know why they gave me some back at the end but ah well, good riddance.

I somehow hit an odd stopping point in the form of Lima Beans. Need just two more for AWITW, while everything else is reasonably within sight- save for Sea Dragons/Spiked Shells, but those are Wishing Well chases for me. There's something I'm missing in chasing Lima Beans, isnt there.

It seems like I've hit a bit of a wall with multiple quests requiring many fields worth of Cotton and Broccoli (and corn, always corn) to proceed. I'm prioritizing Islands Are Hard To Catch VII but I'm like 200 broccoli away and thats going to take a week to complete with Grape Juice. Any tips for getting out of this?

I assume you have the Farm Supply and Perk upgrades for growing speed? With those and without the tower artifact broccoli grows in 9h 36m which is still long, but you should be able to get multiple fields a day (and maybe save grape juice for rice). Salt in the wishing well turns into 50/50 broccoli and spiked shells. That's assuming you have enough salt and aren't dropping crab claws in there  (salt isn't a huge problem when you're grinding WC for herbs, but it might be at your level).Getting the hedgehog pet to lvl 5 will also help.

I think I have all but the last perk for growing speed, but my broccoli is showing a growing time of a little over 19 hours. I have a few salt to toss in the wishing well and will try that. No hedgehog yet, my levels are 79/72/83/69. It sounds like I may need to just buckle down and grind some more, starting with the perks.

It sounds like I may need to just buckle down and grind some more, starting with the perks. Each Growing Speed Perk has a much larger impact than the one before. The one from Tower Level 10 effectively reduces growing time by 50% (20% -> 10%)

The final perk is a reward for reaching level 10 of the tower.

I’m sitting there trying to grind for them myself. They’re not on the wishing well table, and they appear to only drop rarely from the one zone. No bags/chest drops either.

Limas are like Model Ships -- they're super-rares but not super-duper-rares. Needing five is annoying, but doable.

I'm prioritizing Islands Are Hard To Catch VII but I'm like 200 broccoli away and thats going to take a week to complete with Grape Juice. 1) More crop rows. Every little bit helps. I've bought the 1B row so far. 2) If you don't have the Double Prizes skill perks, get them. A 40% chance of an extra pull from each farm square isn't to be sneezed at. 3) LIkewise for the Grape Juice perks. I have Pitcher and Fountain and have Waterfall on my get-it-next checklist, so right now I have four refreshes per day of nine crop rows. So that's roughly 200 free crops per day, any crops regardless of growing time, and that'll become 350 when I get the Waterfall.

Looks like I'll need 100 Skill Points for Quicker Farming IV and Double Prizes II. edit: I just noticed I have a free respec. Should I go that route? I'm sure I bought something dumb at some point.

Resets 2 and 3 cost 5 and 10 gold respectively, I'm assuming it goes up by 5 each time and doesn't double Respecs are cheap! I used one while I was grinding exploring and then paid 5 gold to swap out that exp one later, but now I don't even know what to spend points on anyway because I have nothing good to buy so it's not a big deal tbh
