New pet drops a lot of stupidly good stuff. Regular nets AND large nets, Large Chest 2 (for the millions of screws you need), and crab claws. A level 6 parrot would make its money back in a couple weeks from the nets alone.

Is that a better buy than level 6 tree frog for someone who just started the A Towering Investment quests?

I need to save up that billion and it seems like i can make like 50mil/hour so sometime tomorrow, I guess.

I need 300 salt, which translates to 15,000 salt rock. I can get that from WC at a rate of like, 50 per arnold palmer, so 300 arnold palmers or like 100,000 stamina or something?

Is there a faster way to get these or is that just how it be sometimes.

I need to do a ton of WC to get to 99 anyway I guess so it's not like it matters.

What do I do with all the materials from WC I'd get on the way to 99? they seem all to be pretty useless aside from the fruit and oak, and I get way more oak than I could ever use. Garnets are nice too I guess, the other stuff doesn't even sell for much, it'd be less work to just void it.

All that salt took me three days, enjoy!

blue purses are great as a good way to use your leather from exploring forest for antlers that makes good money, if you start grinding WC making garnet rings and sturdy bows is pretty solid profit. 90% of silver in this game comes from fishing at LI or now PC though, crafting silver is more of a bonus in late game than a primary source of income (with the notable exception of selling sphere hoards during event bonuses)

probably worry about upping sawmill and hayfield before steelworks unless you feel really starved for steel, its hyper expensive. for reference my inv is just under 5k, i have 5k boards and wood per hour, 2k hay per 10m, 1k stone per 10m, but only 300/100 at steelworks and even that is arguably more steel than i need even for chasing my last couple steel GMs. in your case i would probably spend it on hayfield

Holy poo poo. I thought wood wasn�t worth leveling past a certain point because the payoff is asymptotic. I will get more wood now because 5k inventory :stare:

Oof, the exploration grind to 99 looks brutal. I'm about halfway there (at 92 exploration), and it looks like it needs...1.8 million stamina to get there, exclusively exploring WC? Or am I misreading the Farm Buddy calculator - that's with all the exploration xp perks and all the free explore chance perks, but not counting the stamina refund from grabbing apples, oranges, and lemons while exploring.

Now I just have to do some rough math on my daily stamina generation from the orchard (about 980 inv. cap) to figure out how long this will actually take.

When I stated the event this month it said I�d need 3300 Arnold Palmers. It took me the whole event with an auto clicker at 18cps plus a couple days after to get from 92 to 99. And I had like almost a million stamina saved up

Caveats

You have to zoom in enough to get the fish slider bar's popup into the fishing area, because otherwise you end up having to pixel-search way too massive an area & it fucks up. I'm not sure if this is related to searching the color itself, or the range of colors it's looking for, or just not enough CPU cycles to get it to find the dot, mouse the dot and click the dot before the dot's moved from where it thinks the dot is. Personally, my zoom is 250% and that gets the bar fully into the pixelsearch area.

The color set up is for dark mode. There's a bit that says ";light mode 0x50452F"; replace the 0x13323b in the line directly below that with 0x50452F if you're one of those light moders.

Color recognition for actually hitting fish is hit-or-miss; doesn't work at all on Minerva, works ~85% of the time on Large Island. It always moves to the fish on LI, it just....doesn't always click on them, or the click doesn't register, and I'm not sure why. I figure having it bumblefuck around a little bit here is probably good for anti-botcheck if nothing else, and atm I'm only fishing LI anyway, so I haven't dug into this like I originally wanted to.

Hasn't missed a blue dot for me.

Vineyard is crazy expensive. I just managed to buy enough grapes to make one grape juice every day. I shudder to think how much it's going to cost to get enough to support my 2 grape juice a day habit. As good as it is, I think maybe I should have held off on buying the grape juice pitcher perk. It's going to be a long time before I can use it.

Yeah probably not going to break even until you unlock at least broccoli, which grosses 200k/row and will recoup the investment into gray jay capacity quickly.

Still trying to get the rare drop to get rid of the sandwyrm in the desert. Is there a way to automate clicking? It really sucks clicking at 10 stamina a go. I've spent well over 400k stamina so far.

There are tons of autoclickers out there. Autohotkey on windows is great for all sorts of stuff like this, on Mac I have an app called autoclick by a small dev. In Firefox there�s a great extension called auto clicker that�s good too and can even manage a plant/harvest loop for all the <15 minute crops. I can share links if you like.

I�d appreciate this.

For Mac the best basic one I've found is Autoclick by Mahdi Bchatnia.

On Windows, get AutoHotKey going and use a script like this. There are tons around, they're real basic.

For Firefox, there's Clickin by B-aublys that I like a lot. It takes a little tinkering but here's the workflow for an automated farming loop:
1. Go to farm
2. Right-click the harvest button > Send Element to Clicker
3. In the clicker icon, click the name and call it harvest or whatever (not necessary but I like it for keeping the later steps straight)
4. Do the same with the plant icon.
5. Next to each line in the extension menu, change the unit from s to ms.
6. Work out your crop's growth time in milliseconds and add about 150ms to this for the harvest field, 250ms for the plant field. For example, a potato for me is ready in 2m30s, that's 150s or 150000ms. I set the harvest click for 150150ms and the plant click for 150250ms.
7. Press plant.
8. As soon after as you can, hit the green "on" button in the clickin extension. You don't have to be terribly fast here because once the timer ticks over, it will catch up again.
9. Wait. I like to top up my seeds and sell/give away the excess on my phone while the browser runs. I assume it's bad for evading their bot detection to just be planting/harvesting nothing for awhile but I've left it for like an hour or so by accident before.

Note: With this there will be some "creep" as each click iteration gets farther and farther away from when the plant is ready for harvest. At a 250ms delay, every four harvests you'll be a second behind. Not too big of a deal with potatoes but it means that after 20 harvests of peppers (with the tower upgrade) you loop back around again to being on time, but you have to wait 50% as long after 10 harvests.

Also note: This extension is very durable to page changes. I've accidentally refreshed, clicked away and clicked back, all sorts of stuff and it seems to just pick up the timer where it left and do its thing again no problem. Very cool extension.

Oh and also for Firefox is the Farmrpg-Extensions by Coderanger extension. It's really good but I couldn't get it to work with my default profile so I made a profile for farmrpg alone. Works fine for me.

For some AHK scripts for fishing, and a clever Chrome console workaround for mealworm fishing that someone posted, check my post history.
