Also got Tower lvl 27. I have 1359 AK so silver's gonna be the bottleneck there.

It won't be for long. Once you get past that initial wave, silver will be much easier to pile up than AKs. I'm at T64 and those last 550 AKs before the fishing artifact look very far away from me right now.

Yep, same boat here. T67, 10bil on hand, but all out of AK. I refuse to manually fish so I've just been working on item GM's.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


One thing that I found helpful was to hide any items I had GM'd and no longer wanted to craft a lot of. There's some motivation to finishing off all of the... sturdy boxes (for example) so you can hide them and never look at them again.

It'd really be nice if they showed megamastery levels instead of telling you you're complete at 100k.

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

I’ve got 28 mega masteries now and you need 25 to get to T199. Looking through them, it’s basically all things you’ll always be crafting tons of like boards (32 million, drat) and twine or it’s fish. Obviously glacier lake and pirates cove fish, but also a bunch of others from grinding out GMs on the less common fish in other zones.

I know I'm rushing to get items, it's just because once the month ends my Alpha's gone and Mailbox goes from 120 to 30. It was a goddamn pain asking anyone to send me 1k of something 30 at a time, the answer was always no and I totally understand. (not goons, MarcusSA especially helped me a ton).

It reminds me of playing Elder Scrolls Online without the monthly sub and no infinite inventory.

I'm on tower level 176 with a single month of Pateron, there's no rush. I've got more nets/ac/ap then feel like using everyday. Enjoy the ride.

I've started cooking in earnest now, how much am I going to regret making pies? I just ground out 25->40 using sea pinchers. Their sole use is to sell for silver right?

They're also worth the most XP. Probably not as efficient as other recipes due to the time they take but I hate babysitting cooking so they're perfect for me.

Alternatively, casually farm them or get your Lemur to Level 5. And then go "need x spiders" in giveaway.

I really don't wanna burn APs/Ciders on Misty Forest anymore. Not until I get a higher fruit yield. (Inventory capped at 1200 trees +perk bonus).

That's the thing about Spiders. Unless you're willing to burn APs/Ciders there, they're not a very high yield and the Exchange Center always wants 350 of them.

On the last go-around I had with them, someone in the Discord offered to send me spiders "until I told him to stop," and then I lucked out and got a Personal Help Request that gave 20 Cutlasses. I'm at 11/50 now on my next-to-last quest that needs them, and I don't know what the last one will be because it's not showing up on Buddy's Almanac.

First red berry pie hit the oven tonight, which feels good. Just need a Rosalie friendship day and a ton of dye now to get the grape recipe and I'm done collecting them for now.

I’ll definitely do all of this, and the lemur is already at 5. I just thought I’d throw it out there. It looks like the community center is going to eat everyone’s extra spiders today too.

Yeah, like I said. Maybe when I get a higher inventory cap, I might be able to farm more comfortably.

That said...



I'm legitimately almost to 4x99. Exploring's a slog still.

Basically, Onion Soup + (APs or (Neigh + OJ + Ciders)), and pound Whispering Creek. That's how you get there.

Arnold Palmers become the limiting factor in the long run, it seems. The Trade channel is a constant barrage of "Buying APs for gold" or "Selling LNs for gold." I'm tempted to try "Trading LNs for APs" to cut out the middleman, but almost no one ever seems to be selling APs.

Got to Tower 37, and doing A Wall In The Way IV and it's asking for a bunch of Jundland stuff.

Should I be able to use Ciders/AP before I try getting all these Jundland items? And if so how do I unlock that first?

You explore slowly like the rest of us, beware the sandworm. The AP/Ciders come after you craft the item that you need to explore Jundland to find the parts to build.

It's a lot of clicking.

I just hit the Jundland requests on both the Wall in the Way and Unexpected Visitor quest chains, and I've got to either burn 700k stamina or sacrifice it to the worm.

Jundland's where expeditions are actually useful - at least it was when I got there, since expeditions aren't subject to Sandworm hits. YMMV on if gold or stamina's more important, of course.

You have to complete Unexpected Visitor XX which requires a Crest that you'll either have from dumping stamina into Jundland during the previous 19 steps, or from dumping stamina into Jundland to complete Wall in the Way IV before dumping stamina into Jundland to complete the first 19 steps of Unexpected Visitor XX.

The sandworm can only steal stamina you have so you'll be fine as long as you're not like drinking 1,000 orange juices before starting the grind. IMO the annoyance of the area is largely overblown by its gimmick happening to overly punish long-term players who bank millions of stamina at a time.

Ah okay. I skipped a bunch to pass ATI. I looked it up on buddyfarm, I'm still on Unlikely Pair 8 so it'll take me awhile.

Just glad to have a direction now, thanks :)

e: actually confused now, would it be easier for me to just grind WITW4 since I'm there? Or should I go through all these corn quests, then Unexpected Visitor 20 quests? I hope that made sense

Don't the expeditions also give Exploring xp? I remember reading that they did when I- on a whim- decided to spend 5 gold for the achievement tied to it.
