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The aforementioned Perk Tier List by Bhelogan, though a bit out of date, covers both Mastery Perks and Gold Perks.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.

Thanks, that's good advice to start with and I missed your link earlier.

I finally got my sawmill but I think I have one more crafting level to go until I can craft the shields. Eh, gonna stock up on boards a bit until then I guess.

How in the hell did you get the sawmill before you can craft shields? I know I'm bad at games but drat.

Unless you're one level short of making Sturdy Shields. In that case, make regular Wooden Shields for that last level. It's less profit but you'll get there way faster.

I only needed 7 and I still caught about 1500 fish for that. None of the other gold fish seem to be nearly as bad.

I don’t understand why anyone would need to talk about their gender/sex/sexuality in the game chat of a loving FARMING game in the first place tbqh.

A) I don't understand why anyone would need to stop people from talking about their gender when they're playing a chill farming game. Don't Ask Don't Tell is a lovely way to live and a lovely thing to enforce.

B) You've obviously never met a a farmer with a John Deere tractor. People who buy Deere don't stop at riding a tractor, they "ride" their tractor, if you know what I mean. And it doesn't stop at the tractors! Lawn mowers, leaf blowers (leaf "blowers", geddit? :wiggle:) hell Deere even makes attachments to allow you to sow your wild oats faster and farther!! If FarmRPG will allow tractorfuckers, and I'm sure they do, they can allow anyone.

The corn requirements in this game are insane. I'm still running Corn Quandry, unlocked a second quest to bring Jill corn, and now there's another character demanding corn for hooch? I'm not in corn jail, I'm in corn hell.

I have no idea how people are getting exploring XP so fast. Even fishing is higher than exploring for me.

Just finished corn quandry, so I am growing some corn. Currently the two quests I have the ability to finish are gated on pocket watches to ducks and spiders to cutlass. Working on some t2 masteries (the 100x one) in the mean time. Yay treasure chests and magnifying glasses and such.

Finally got crafting to 85 or whatever so I can make purple purses and red shields. Made around 1k of each. (max inventory is 988.)

I'm sometimes reminded of how slow I go on games. I'm crafting 91 and I have like two GMs.

Finally hit 80 exploring! Spent 300k-ish stamina getting there today. All in WC. Still only one raptor egg.

Someday.

if you're going to do any manual fishing, eat some Cat's Meow (i got some from a quest), it's a massive multiplier to the fish you catch (biggest I've seen is 7x) & they count towards streak if you don't use mealworms
10k merit badge here i come

I'll have to do that once I get access to cooking. And get the recipe for Cat's Meow.

I just got Double Hooks, so hopefully that makes the Flier grind 20%ish shorter.

I love the pointlessly low farming level requirements for corn quandry. I'm on one of the last quests and it requires Farming 55. I'm pretty sure if you did nothing but grow corn for Corn Quandry you'd still be at least level 60 just from the thousands of corn you need for the quest.

I need a sanity check. I'm 99/95/96/87 and am on the run up to open the tower (once I get my grapes tonight). Do I spend my next perk points on Double Prizes 2 or on Artisan 3? Is the extra 20% crops worth it over the extra 15% silver I'll save?

Made it through the corn maze and got the corn reward box by going as far northwest as I could, then grabbing the rope when offered.

Notably, I didn't make it out of the maze, it just gave me a good end. Does that mean that I am doomed to eternally walkstalk the corn? Do I get out next Halloween?

Grind out that last exploring level if you can! Apparently Haunted House is almost 6x better xp than any other area, according to the dev (in some discord).

lol yeah same. I’ll probably get to exploring 94 maybe before I’m completely out.

Make sure you're eating all the apples you get from the house, it's a shitload of stamina. Then maybe use an auto clicker on a PC because manually exploring 60k+ stamina is murdering my thumbs even at 12 stamina per tap

I'm getting 6mn per large net - do you have reinforced nets, GM on all the fish, and all the sales bonuses? I yield 400 fish per large net.

Yes on the reinforced nets and sales bonuses, no on the GMs but that shouldn't make that big of a difference.

You know what made a big difference? Unlocking PC fish so I'm selling more than two kinds of fish. Moral of the story is to be smarter than the fish you're selling, I guess.

FarmRPG is one of the only live games I've seen with a good track record for updates. I know the snow effect wasn't a hit and I'm pretty iffy on the whole cooking system, but other than that it's been one good update after another.
