To put the 10k hot potatoes needed for the temple chain into perspective, the current market rate is 10-15g per 100 in trade. That means the temple chain requires the equivalent of 1,000 to 1,500 gold.

I’m growing a boatload of potatoes and have made out like a bandit on the market, but if I wanted to do temple and not spend a ton of gold here’s what I’d do:

- Buy a few sets of cookies at 100g a pop.
- Use the cookies at reset to get 36 grape juice uses for a cookie set. This nets a little more than 2k hot potatoes assuming all the perks and 12 farm rows.
- Sell 1k of the hot potatoes to recoup the cost of cookies and stick the rest in temple.

Do that a few times and you’re set without much cost or effort. Certainly nowhere near the effort of growing potatoes every second of the day. You’ll probably get close to mastering them this way too (and GMing potatoes if you haven’t already). Any potatoes you grow on top of that is just icing on the cake - do the cookie trick once less or sell your excess for gold.

I still need potatoes for the corn quest so :shrug: I’m gonna keep growing them and then when they show up in the borgen shop I’ll finish what I need.

I spent all week growing watermelon for the piece of heart temple reward and my very last watermelon crop gave me a piece of heart

I'm sure there's a moral there somewhere

Happy cookies, spooky cookies, and lovely cookies all have the same effect but are different meals so if you use all three at once you get 9 extra of whatever you are growing.

It feels weird to not turn in a temp quest but there’s no way I’m giving rockets red glare 2000 corn when I don’t even think I can do the next step (tower level) and anyway it’s 5000 more corn

I’m spending corn on working toward the boots in the temple. Between the two gold boots and a gold potato, it doesn’t feel like I’ll ever finish wall in the way.

Somehow I had 2600 Magic Conch Shells sitting around already. I did have to throw 10k LN to get my frost snapper shells though, since I've crafted 13k frost shields. But, that was NBD, just wish I had done it a week ago!

This (plus the availability of AP and AC x5 meals) got me off my rear end to knock out t199 this morning too. It also incidentally got me to use enough APs and ACs to actually turn in Excuuuse me, Farmer V after however many months of sitting on it

I speculated that earlier in the thread, but I don't think it's true. I've grown a lot of taters and I don't have any sand dollars.

I still don't know where I got the second Sand Dollar for the quest. I had zero at the start of the month, got one from the temple, and then had 2 somehow. I haven't opened any summer basket. And obviously I don't have the 14 day daily chore yet.

Edit: I have the materials to complete the rest of Geists' chain, but only 1000/2000 spikes shells. And tower 135. Welp.

10k LN at emerald beach (250g equivalent) OR just get to T149 by end of month (which is probably doable and will reward 1400 spiked shells).

Also, salt in the WW for an easy 20 a day. And maybe you’ll pick some up in PHRs.

You’re sure the mb passwords are done? I don’t think it’s possible to sell them so that’s definitely not it.
