The biggest challenge I'm having at the moment (82/92/91/79) is balancing resources so I'm not waisting anything while exploring with a full inventory. For instance, I'm currently exploring Whispering Creek for salt rock, however my oak keeps filling up. Oak products sell for enough that I don't want to just waste the oak. So I make guitars and drums, but that means I have to get leather, make twine, get carbon spheres, but then exploring the forest and Mount Banon are filling up my antlers and coal, so then I have to make nets and explosives, but then I have to fish to make room, yadda yadda. Just a lot of bouncing back and forth. Not to mention I'm growing mushrooms full time to keep the paste flowing.

Honestly sitting back and growing corn every 48 minutes or whatever would be nice. I'm still in corn jail but I'm just ignoring it for now.

Yeah, everyone hates on Corn Jail but at least it is simple and straightforward. I just sell the Oak and Slimestone, void the rarer drops to ensure I always have an inventory full of them, and make Garnet Rings and the odd Fancy Drum or Sturdy Bow when pet drops make it possible. I don't think Fancy Guitars are ever worth it, though, due to how much Steel Wire it requires. Those Carbon Spheres have much better uses. But I am also making getting to 99 Exploring my main priority of Exploring, which is obvious not optimal in the present for Silver but I think will be in the long run, which means just blasting away at Whispering Creek non-stop.

I updated the second post, but in case you don't see it, the Anniversary event has been updated and extended until the afternoon of Monday, May 16th (I believe the game uses US Central Time for reference). The Silver/XP bonus has been updated from 2%/1k to 3%/1k, so the global bonus jumped from 19% to 26%, meaning we are officially in "better than a normal event" territory. Need another 5000 players before we get the full 40%, so if you've signed up but haven't gotten a Hot Potato yet, make sure to ask in chat for one, and if you haven't jumped into the game yet, get on it!

I'm real bad at figuring out what to spend upgrade points on in games.

What's the general gist of what to spend my mastery points for the real early game? Are the +10% xp masteries worthwhile or should I just get the ones that deal with getting more resources?

The aforementioned Perk Tier List by Bhelogan, though a bit out of date, covers both Mastery Perks and Gold Perks. Negotiator/Resource Saver/Quicker Farming are all things you'll want to get as soon as possible, preferably in that order.

100% agree with this post and I do exactly the same with oak etc. Garnet Rings are great for making loads of cash.

I’ve got 1600 lava/inferno spheres just waiting for that bonus to go up. Holding my nerve.

I'm feeling like my resource bottlenecks are really asymmetrical early game. Like I never have enough wood or stone to craft stuff to level up crafting (or to get another 700k to get my sawmill going), but I'm already getting my exploration skill to about double my crafting skill. Dunno, I'm sure it'll even out later.

I’ll eventually update the OP with little stuff like this, but tip for new folks: when you hit Level 20 Farming, you’ll unlock Mailbox Passwords at the Post Office. By entering a password, you can earn lots of neat stuff as a new player, ranging from stuff you’ll need for quests, some bunches of Silver and Gold, and items from past seasonal events. One of these, Candy (from the Halloween event) will sell for a huge chunk of change, and can make a huge difference in getting your Sawmill up and running and starting your Silver engine running. Normally it is not advised to sell items like that that are hard to acquire and may be needed for future quests, but getting the Sawmill as early as possible is so important, and the Candy is relatively common as far as event items go, that I’m hard pressed telling anyone to hold on to it for a hypothetical when it is so useful in the present. All of the Mailbox Passwords can be found in the Library, check out the Mailbox Passwords and Spoilers pages for all of them.

I figure I'll give this a shot because I'm addicted to idle games. Might not stick around because mobile games arne't normally my thing.

There is a space to put in a referral when I register an account, is there any benefit to the referrer for that? Does some random goon want a gem or w/e currency they'd get.

The referrer and the referee both get some benefits, which are nice but not groundbreaking. My code is in the OP and another goon has a sheet they are capturing codes in.

Okay there is an inventory cap per item, is there also a cap on number of items? Because giving how this crafting and quests look it sorta feels liek I should just horde every last thing until I'm sure I don't need it and/or I need money for some reason.

Just a cap per item. Be aware that Ancient Coins, though they seem like currency, are also subject to the inventory cap.

You can also check if you have anything at your inventory cap by typing “max” in the search bar of the Farmers Market or Inventory screens. I forget who posted that to the iOS thread but it’s really useful.

If you’ve been playing for a while and have a stockpile of Beets, now seems like an ideal time to sell them. An effective 66% bonus due to the double stacking event bonus is too good to pass up.

Wait what do you mean by void? Do I need to be eliminating existing stuff in my inventory to get xp for new stuff or something?

Yeah you can take things out of your mailbox immediately but you can't send things until level 10 farming, so the hot potatoes people keep giving you will stick around for a bit.

What should I be spending my initial gold on? The game is giving me a fair bit but I don't really know where the real value is there.

Hello inferno spheres today. Almost pulled the trigger on selling my stockpile but I guess I’ll wait to eke out a few more percent as the hot potato bonus increases throughout the day

I can send you mealworms if you want, you don’t get the fishing streak so less bonus, but they make fishing quicker and easier as you just need to click the shadow, not the blue dot.

“Voiding” is when you get an item but already have maxed your inventory on it so it just goes into “the void”. You miss out on using it/selling it for silver, but you still get XP/mastery for it, so it isn’t that big of a deal when you are just trying to do a ton of grinding.

The Orchard is perhaps the most important Farm Building in the game, and while it will eventually become your main priority for spending Silver, when you first unlock it it’ll be hard to upgrade it fully. Buy it, but still focus you Silver on the Sawmill to keep that rolling.

It only took like 60,000 stamina and a couple of hundred Arnold palmers this morning but I finally broke through to 99 exploration to land me at all 99s now. Really hating this tower quest to get 150 each of a bunch of gold fish, even with mealworms.
