For what it's worth, here's my Guide To Having Fun And Being Productive In Amaranthine:

1) Create character, join guild
2) Find out what sort of production the guild might need - woodcutting for logs, mining for ores, gathering for plants and poo poo
3) Go do that
4) Open Stardew Valley, play that for a while
5) Try to remember to alt-tab back over to the browser every half hour or so for the botcheck
6) Drop off the stuff you produced in guild storage
6a) alternately, turn the poo poo you produced into other poo poo the guild might need
7) wash, rinse, repeat


As an example, I showed up and said "Hey, what do we need?" I was told "we always need logs," so I grabbed hatchets and cut logs. Then I learned "Hey we're putting together ingredients for this massive cooking project, we need a fuckload of wooden bowls," so I grabbed some chisels and carved those logs into wooden bowls. I'm the third-best carpenter in the guild now thanks almost entirely to wooden bowls. I carved something like 8.5k bowls. All of this I did while expending virtually zero effort and while feeding quartz to a pixel-person until she agreed to marry me and move to my farm and water my crops every couple of days.

This is a good guide. I do wanna suggest an edit to it though. As an alternative to step 4: Go to work, log into the game either on your work computer or on your phone's browser. That's what I do.

Also, if any newbies are interested in the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent fluffy bunnies and owls, they should get into combat after they get situated and bring my hides. I'm the second best tailor in the guild, and I always need thousands and thousands of hides for either spellbooks or bota bags. Once I get up another 10 levels or so, I'll be able to make a full set of clothing for everyone in the guild. We're working towards getting people to the point where we can make blue dye, which can be applied to the clothes to make you do everything faster. Since the timer is everything in this game, being able to subtract up to 12 seconds off every action is a huge thing, and definitely something worth working towards.

So, if you're looking for something to do that's not straight up gathering and crafting, and goes faster than practically any skill in the game, grab some armor, a shortsword, and a dagger, and start skinning rabbits. For the good of the clan!

I don't have access to a computer for large parts of the day so I started using an auto-clicker to get through the idle check. It works fine. It doesn't get me magic xp, but it's better than nothing. I don't know if the guy who makes the game has some way to detect and ban me though.

New people: Don't feel pressured to pick a main skill right away. Take a week and gently caress around, take some free equipment, get a feel for the game and what you like to do and then pick something. We'll always have recommendations but just do what makes the game fun for you.

As this has come up a few times in Guild Chat - the general consensus is that you really should spend your first few days in the game loving around and trying out different skills to see which ones interest you. Don't get locked in to mining or woodcutting only to learn later that you'd rather be gathering, or poo poo like that. There'll be time to specialize; for now, just chill and do you.

If you were on the fence about joining, this weekend's a good time! There's an easter event on. Like most events you'll get random event drops (easter eggs in this case) which you can turn in at the end for...well, we won't know until it's over, but it's usually good stuff. The Christmas event dropped all those festive clothes we're always needing more of, the valentine's event dropped cards and candles, and the birthday event dropped some unique boost items.

Also if you're just a part-timer this would also be a good time to login and play a bit, since the eggs only drop until 8pm ET (midnight server) tomorrow. It doesn't matter what you do, but whatever action you can do at lowest timer is best because more actions = more eggs.

So using some questionable methods (scraping the item pages in the manual), I was able to find some arbitrage opportunities by buying an item cheap and selling it for more copper. Oftentimes this could be done without even having to travel. My best score was buying thousands of Cherry Logs in DF for 7, and selling them in a different store in DF for 9. I started the day with a few dozen copper, and now have over 18,000.

Feels like EVE up in here.

Looks like the easter event got extended by a day. More eggs for everyone!

Also, this thread is looking pretty bland. Let's spice it up a bit with a Contest!

From now until whenever I get home from work on Friday (~4-6pm ET) make some crappy mspaint art related to the game. (Or make it not crappy. Or not in paint. I don't really care.) I'll give out some fabulous prizes to the best ones as judged solely by me. Prizes will include a full sparkly festive set, some other gear, and pumpkin ales (-2 timer for 20 minutes, works on ANYTHING). Number and distribution of prizes will be determined when I give them out. Make sure you post your in-game name with your submission so I know who to mail prizes to!
