Have we considered ROOMBA is just Jill in a robot costume? = P

EDIT: I wonder if it's now worth it to invest in the wine celler. I had the cheapest "wine increases the price faster" upgrade but all advice was bot bother with any upgrades because the rewards were not worth it.

Getting to level 60 in the Tower has nearly doubled the price cap from 8 million to 14 million.

i have all the wine cellar +price upgrades and at tower 186 the cap is 42m per bottle. major increase but still not something i'd really invest in given how long it takes

With no upgrades T199 I'm at 28m/bottle in 2 months. That's 4.2bn. Or 9x50 large nets. If you're drowning in points and gold why not but otherwise, I wouldn't worry. Patreon people who get gold every month should do it because who cares at that point.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


43m per bottle at T199
* 500 bottles with all perks
=
21.5b for all bottles at maturity
/ 37 days for maturity with all perks
=
580m per day
/ 14m per net throw
=
40 LN per day equivalent

Total cost of upgrades: 2100g

Whereas if you just bought nets:

2100g
* 40 LN per gold
=
84,000 LN
* 14m per net throw
=
1.2T silver if converting to LN

Breakeven:

1.2T / 580m per day = 2000 days ish

There’s an argument to be made that trading prices are in flux and that not everybody trades.

Ugh every so often I dump 2000 of each bug into the various townfolk who like them when I hit inventory cap. I apparently did that twice with the green beetle and now I'm out with the new quest line.

How do you get 14 M per LN throw? With pincher and shrimp? I'm only around 11 M. That's a lot of cooking or more gold to spend. Not that it changes your overall point, it would still be more than 1500 days to break even. Maybe 1500 flat out when accounting for the Bottle Warmer perk.

Yes, exactly. Pincher and shrimp. And all the perks.





I would say it's not that bad at end game. Either cook them or buy the meals at 3AP each in trade. When you throw a bunch of nets you really ought to be eating meals.

Dec 28, 2006
Yeah I just randomly cook extra meals if I'm out of pie stuff. It helps if you can not worry about optimal stir/taste/season. If you need meals just ask.

Single net is 11.4m unbuffed. At 2.5m/net that's 20bn/8000 inventory. Well worth 2 meals.

The only time I'm not eating when throwing nets is when I'm full of nets and just need to dump off a few to be able to clear my mailbox.

Update dropped. New temple quest for yellow watermelons this month, similar to hot potato but not tradable. Also, double GJ with cookies is now no longer a strat.

Milk carton and toilet paper are craftable again - GM the former is possible, but good luck with TP.

If you want to complete the temple this month, get growing. You’ll get about 100 per GJ day, so if you use all month’s GJ without cookies you’re about 3k/5k. So either plan to use some cookies or grow on the side or both.

Daily update posted:

SMALL CHANGE TO MEAL USE
- Meals will no longer be allowed to be used from 11:55pm through Nightly Server Reset completion
- There's been some strategies used that were not intended or expected and negatively effect balance and planning of quests and temple chains, so we needed to make this change
- It is also being changed in the nature of fairness as many players are not up playing around Nightly Server Reset


Dammit, wish I'd thought of that before they patched it

obviously no way to know for sure but generally stuff like this comes back around in a year's time with progress maintained. that's how they've treated seasonal quests anyway, i don't think anything is permanently missable
