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.

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 added everyone itt I think. I’m 4 x 99 and have loads of everything - if you’re newish and in need of anything just shout!

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.

Maybe have a look here https://buddy.farm/ and see what quests you haven’t done yet and what they’re going to need. You can begin stockpiling!

I’m at 1850 something inventory and still craft pipes and shields all day. I up my boards and wood (and my trees) to my limit every day.

Okay I have 500 of each orchard tree, 500 hourly in sawmill, hayfield, quarry, what do I upgrade/unlock next?

Is 500 grapes a priority or should I level the owl pet or something with my money. I'm making prooobably 50-70 million a day by making lanterns for a benchmark.

E: I suppose a level 4 owl is only 10m which is extremely doable and is 80% as good as a level 5 owl so that seems an obvious purchase.

Think about increasing trees/boards/wood to match inventory capacity each day. This works for me but then I work from home so I can log in and craft every hour. I’m in a meeting right now in fact lol.

Grapes - well wine starts off kinda not important then kind of becomes a nice money maker then you end up needing quite a bit for quests so it’s worth being able to make a few a day but remember that you’ll get a pet that provides GJ eventually.

Got my first raptor egg way on my second day in whispering creek 👍🏻👍🏻

It seems like, based on the calculators and a 150k explore drop rate, I will get one every 4-5 days on average given my inventory and orchard. Do y’all just void all the oak you get, or are you also doing a bit of exploring elsewhere? I was thinking about the forest since then I get antlers + mushroom paste, which lets me make fancy drums which use up oak super quickly. But not sure what balance makes sense here.

I sell the oak or make fancy drums if I can be arsed. Might try crossbows now as well

I got obsessed with raptor eggs but now I have that many they can bring >5000 antlers a day and my inventory is 2070. Now that’s a waste for you, and I can do nothing about it lol.

It's more I remember seeing a post earlier in this thread about how the cost of the boards per hour stopped being feasible for paying themselves off anytime soon it becomes worth it to switch to other stuff

That’s very true and I’m past that point now, I only kept increasing as I play just about hourly so I was able to make use of them all.

The more I look at my personal help requests, the more I agree that I just don't know who they are for. Only one of mine is easily doable but the value just isn't there. There's one I'd like to do but 80 old boots is just not feasible at all. It's sort of like the 50 old boot trade in the exchange center. I don't know who is going to do that more than once because even if someone is trying to minmax but only fishing glass bottles from the Crystal River, you'll get 1 boot every 30-50 bottles.

Also, I submitted this improvement request related to Gold Fish:

My net worth is 13.5m, I just made 10m off of steak investment and am still new.

currently 32 boards hour / 16 wood

I have 3 options I think I can spend it on right now.
Storehouse for max inventory increases + more boards / wood
All board/woods
Half board/woods and half apple trees.

Any thoughts? I'm working on the math to try to figure out ROI on more boards right now but thought I'd put the question to the SA hivemind.

E: I forgot to add in the 1m crop row buy I think I should probably do.

I’d try and get your boards production up a bit I think but storehouse is a must purchase really. Once you get an extra 12 slots per day it soon starts to make things easier

I’m now 99/99/99/94 and making my way through my remaining quest lines, Strange Companions and A Towering Investment.

While the rewards for SC are very nice (I’m on 8 of 14), I’m assuming it’s more important for me to grind toward finishing ATI (2 of 18) first, right?

Not sure. I sort of left the tower until last, just sort of working on it in the background while concentrating on other things - it’s a massive grind even compared to some of the more grindy quests.
