Roughly how rare are runestones from crops? I'm trying to get runestones 1-10 to get access to the exploration zone and all I got left to go is the stone from leeks and cukes.

I'd say 2-3k is about average, though it can obviously happen a lot sooner or you can get super unlucky and have to go much further than that.

Keep in mind you can get 1-10 from the wishing well. There's a spreadsheet of items somewhere in the library. I think that's how I got the one that drops with leeks.

Don't forget to turn your first set of runes in to the requests, you get an orb from completing the questline and don't have to pay the crafting cost.

I looked at the spreadsheet but it seems only some of 1-10 are available and neither leeks or cukes is.

Also good to know I should do the quest first for the same reward and completion. I'm on leeks for the quest anyway.

So now it's a question if I wanna do a bunch of leeks fishing for a rune or a bunch of corn for the special requests that just opened as I hit a level breakpoint. Probably the special requests for the guaranteed payday and limited availability.

No, they're there. You can get the leek rune from wishing the small pond rune or the radish rune and the cuke rune from the misty forest rune.

Corn rune is an absolute bastard and I'm glad it dropped before I gave up and upgraded my owl.

If you have money I recommend you buy all the steak you can today, 30k per is in the record lows. The swing back could be looking at 70+, although I think 60s is more likely. Either one will be 100% profit.

**The price increase may not be after todays reset, it may take another price change tomorrow to see the increase or full profit realised. Either way it’s impossible that prices will not increase when it at the least settles back into the 50k region, so this is guaranteed money.

I'm a wee baby fish but I still managed to save up 12 million today to put into steak, I need that money to upgrade sawmill and w/e so I can't just sit on it and wait to sell at a price better than 50 or w/e, so I'll almost certainly sell tomorrow. Still 80% return on an average market day.

Would be a good day to sell it. Dont see it going much higher than 57k this month. June looks to be the next wild meat market. Hopefully ya'll planted cows as they take a while to turn into steak. Optimum level is said to be 8 when you send them to slaughter.

I spent more time with kabobs as the turn around is way faster. With my storage limits it is possible to make 600k every other hour. I usually buy any time it's on sell in the 9k range and sell in 10k range regardless of the last 3 digits. It's not much profit, but free is free.

Three types of manual exploring: lovely, lovely oak, and lovely loving oak


Couldn’t manage to get a screen grab of an actual good explore with two diverse rows. Thinking if I set up like an auto-clicker script, which hits explore and then screenshots I could get better ones.

By the by, despite how easy it would be automating the game isn’t allowed; given that just 1600 players during an event can cause lag I understand why. There was also a warning about bots/automation in the update notes last month where they had one player making 30,000 calls per minute - so I can imagine everyone’s poorly written scripts making multiple calls every second would make it unplayable.

I've been thinking about making a simple macro in Bluestacks to automate growing some crops. Basically let the game run in bluestacks and harvest + plant carrots every 3 minutes or whatever. I think they would not find that and it's not something that messes with the game.

Just log into the website and use auto hot key or similar to script your clicks.

(I have a “click repeatedly” macro to save my hands when doing a ton of exploring. It clicks slower than I can manually, so I figure not really a concern.)

Yeah the flier in particular seems to have a much lower drop rate than the others. That’s the point where I just gave up the gold fish quest until I can get mealworms and just started fishing exclusively with nets.

If you're short on fliers but have a surplus of other golds, you can try swapping for them at the wishing well.

I've just been doing some manual fishing now and then to try and get all the streaks up for cheevo points or w/e. Including a mechanic that I can do endlessly by buying bait and manually clicking is the exact sort of poo poo I hate in an idle game.

Too much clik.

Also I got all my runestones (following the quest) up to corn now. If I'm lucky I'll get the corn runestone while doing all these quests and won't have to specifically grind for it after.

I think technically you’d count yourself unlucky if you don’t get the corn Runestone before you finish Corn Jail, but it is nice that it has a force mechanism to give it to you if RNGesus fails you.

Wishing well can give some. Re: golden fish once in a while the wheel will give me a cache of a ton of them, so I will just trade whatever I have most of in the wishing well to try to even the numbers out. I don't need any right now but I know there's some upcoming quests where I will need a lot.

Re: farming, I'm approaching level 99, been using 4x grape juice daily on beets which is doing most of the work there. What do you farm when you hit 99? Specifically what do you use grape juice on? Obviously beets are the most XP and silver, but is there something else worth juicing? During the day I've been doing either corn (don't need it right now but I'm sure I will eventually) or mushrooms (need that pasta), and once in a while a load of wheat or pumpkins for flour/feed.

You’ll need some beets and sunflowers for requests down the road so build up a stockpile of those with grape juice. Otherwise there’s usually something that needs growing for some request or another. Barring all that I usually default to broccoli as the right amount of time I don’t need to pay attention but doesn’t put me out too much if I need to farm something else and it turns into feed.

This but also mushrooms as you can make Garnet rings for max cash and also every spore gives 10 shrooms I think so you can grand master them easily.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
I do 4 grape juice beets, and sell the excess over 600. (This is after farming up all the items needed for quests). I keep 600 because i need it for the tower quest. Once that is done i don't see much reason to keep a stockpile.
Throughout the day i do mushrooms.
When going to bed i do broccoli (it takes 8h so synchs well with sleep, and its the best crop to use to generate feed)

'A way forward' and 'strange rocks' are both quest chains that each ask for a runestone I think there are 10 quests in each chain, from what I've seen. I think I needed one of each for the quest? I wasn't realy paying attention since alot of them I just happened to have anyway and just spam clicked 'complete' as I went. But those are the two quest chains I've seen.


I've been putting money into the orchard and I'm up to about 200 of each tree, I should just be turning all of these into juice to pump out more exploration for poo poo right? Or is there some better use of fruit?

Nope, push your orchard to your max inventory and then eat all the Apples and craft all the Orange Juice/Lemonade/Iced Tea/Arnold Palmers you can.

I've been playing for a few weeks now but just today I learned that you don't need 1000 stamina to use an apple cider, you just need to have that much to spend. So you can use 10 OJs, refresh the screen, then use an apple cider if you want.

I don't really understand why as it doesn't do anything but save you clicks. But I am irritated that I missed out on some chore batches because I thought that would be something useful later on.

the only one that opens when you hit all 90s is A Towering Investment, which asks for 2 billion right at the start lol

Once your sawmill is cranking out millions of crafting materials in silver a day, aim to hit your inventory cap of orchard (and keep it updated every day), that's where your next major sources of money come in, exploring for better poo poo to craft. Just make it all into Lemonade/OJ and eat all your apples by the end of the day and start making the stuff that requires steel (and later lanterns).
