I got a gold potato at ~3700 potatoes. What the gently caress. Not complaining, but what the gently caress.

This crest quest is going to make me uninstall the game.

Like goddamn this is the most tedious poo poo ever and I like just about every other thing about the game.

gently caress this.

There. I have complained about it on the internet. Maybe it’ll drop for me now.

I’ve definitely dumped 1.5million+ stamina into it.

The Jundland one? There's the other quest that rewards one as well. I can't say anything, I did a 24hr expedition and got the Crest within the first few hours.

Yeah I don't see much reason to rush the crests, I've been plunking at it a little bit at a time working on masteries and throwing the scrap at roomba when they have a bonus friendship day.

Although I'm running out of reason to work on masteries, just hit tower 192 and I've got spoon, carrot, fancy guitar, eggplant, hourglass, and wooden barrel within relatively easy reach, not to mention about 6 weeks away from the 1000 PHR badge, and I've been tossing a thousand coins at the vault every day to get closer to that badge too. I am going to wait until I get the 1T crop row to really push at the crops (still have peppers and eggplant to GM as well). Only thing I'm really itching to get at is the runestones from 193 so I can get the spheres crafted during the easter event.

Pro tip butter churn makes wooden barrel even easier. Board > churn > barrel in craftworks means you wakeup to thousands of butter churns and a few hundred barrels. Basically let's the whole thing run for 2x inventory instead of 1x. I just got churn and have 9k barrels to go.

Thank you Marcus for all the orange juice!! I’ve got a quest right now asking for 64 golden leaf, and since I’m at the 100 mil is ok 1 bil is a slog range for silver I’m still manually hunting for them instead of just pet for them. So, the help for hunting is very appreciated!

I think I’ll upgrade my pets as soon as possible, looking at some of the later grinds I’ll have to face

Churn is one of those things I'm just letting progress at its own pace, whenever I use some for butter I craft more to top off my inventory. Everything else I'm working on is very wood-hungry right now and even at 8k wood/boards per hour I'm hurting for wood most of the time.

Yeah I pick one board thing at a time, and never maxing out barrel was nice. I just sold the churns. Now that I'm gm'd I just have an inventory of them to make butter with as needed. I'm only 3k/2k wood/boards though.

What? You spend some gold to get the farm upgrades so you have higher WW throws per day. I get 19 throws, and then double the rewards (but by the time you get all that, you don't really need it)

:toot: just finished barrels. It's amazing how much faster you complete the second chain item due to production luck boosts. (given I finished churns a day or two ago and I had like 10k barrels to start.)

Not sure what bulk wood thing I'm going to do next, I assume tables.

Well, I’ve never needed anything that was only available from the WW before. So I guess I’ll spend the gold on those upgrades but it still feels like kind of a pretty hard stop in terms of progress.

Is this before or after Unexpected Visitor/Unlikely Pair? Because that quest line will get you an item that activates AP usage there.

And then A Wall In The Way 4 will get you a free crest... assuming you don't get it dropped for that.

Yeah. I did it before the alternate sources of crests appeared, but I don’t think I’d do it manually at this point if I had the choice.

There's a good number of late game quests that rely on you working towards certain WW goals months in advance or you'll be in for some pain. Sea Dragon, Orange Gecko, Spiked Shells you'll notably need over a thousand of each.

Twincityhacker
Feb 18, 2011

Yeah, even when I don't have a request for them I'm putting 19 crab claws into the well for sea dragons and orange geckos, occasionally switching up it up with 19 salt for spiked shells.

Doing the 19 crab claws for a month still was not long enough to get me 100 orange geckos for my current quest, but it was most of the way there.

Working on wall in the way - it also needs a lot of stuff from the desert too, but at least I don't need to wait forever for RNG.

According to alpha the 2 recipes are Hickory Omelet, Crunchy Omelet

Hickory:
When active, Sawmill also produces
20% every 10 minutes. Effect
lasts for 1 hour.

Crunchy:
When active, collecting from Pets results
in 50% more items collected.
Effect lasts for 2 minutes.

But he's still asking for advice on the numbers for tmw.

e: "To mastery Crunchy Omelet during event requires 380 Egg 05 at minimum and ~38h of cooking w/ 8 Ovens. x10 for GM. So pretty decent, tho will definitely need to FP and get some more Egg for those who want to try to GM it like me."

dunno what most that means but I'm sure it'll help some ppl
