Apparently, magic rock candy plus calico festival boosts equals some mad skull cavern loot. I got two autopetters, a prismatic shard, and three trinkets. I was hitting back to back treasure rooms, multiple times. I wonder if that Switch update glitched my luck or something, haha.

Today I reached 8 million! So clones to finally buying the Golden Clock and reaching Perfection!

I’m on Winter 20, Year 3. Never reached perfection before and It’s always because of the clock (I don’t like to sleep through the days and only waking up to sell wine, so it’s kind of a grind).

As soon as I reach perfection, I’ll start a new save in a Beach Farm. Can’t wait!

Beach farm is beautiful, I enjoy playing there.

Why are you sleeping for money? Do you not enjoy other money making methods?

Yea, that's what I've begun the process of doing.

Whoops, I misgendered you, my b.

That might be too much lol. I noticed you use a slingshot. I wonder if it's absolutely necessary? I have a hard time with it :/

That's way too many xD. I admire your tenacity ^.^

Wtf?

That sounds about the same as me. My floor record is 2250, and there's 20 hours in a day, so it's real close to that.

I also have really bad stick drift which constantly messes me up.

I just tried again, (my 4th attempt, total) and got a bit over 2600. I noticed you use Slingshot, which may be the key, but I tried using it and had a tough time. I'm not giving up quite yet though :D

The main purpose of the slingshot is to clear rocks that are in the way of placing a ladder, sometimes to clear rocks to get to iridium node chunks, and rarely to hit iridium nodes. I’m not great at aiming, it’s easy to miss, or not actually fire. Wish it was slightly more user friendly.

Another thing, I only go on best luck days, with +1 ore buff, and either the speed or luck buff (speed preferred).

606 is my record depth, I’m going to see how deep I can get (without getting distracted by iridium). Hard challenge for sure hah.

@pealee my 5th run got 3360

I ended on floor 720

I didn't use the slingshot, but, fun fact, I accidently threw away both my Galaxy Weapons somehow (I don't even know why I brought them).

We must be doing things very differently. I pause ALOT. In fact, basically every single floor, I pause TWICE. First I pause, then I un-pause, put a staircase down, and pause again. Very quickly of course. This let's me get a feel for my surroundings.

My general rule is, if there's 3 nodes right by me, I ignore them, and go down. That's right! 3 is not worth my time! 4 or more is the rule I went by, and apparently it worked. ^.^

So when I see 4 or more nodes within bombing range of each other, I put the bomb down, put a staircase down, wait for the bomb to go off, then PAUSE as the ore gets sucked in, then go down the stairs.

I wish you the best of luck! :D

Nice! Sounds very very similar to what I do actually. I pause every floor too. Rarely go for 4 nodes though (unless they don’t require moving), usually 5+…. Annnnd I’ve thrown away my slingshot so many times. I’ve gotten pretty good at not accidentally leaving the mines at least. Best of luck to you as well, I’m sure you’ll have me beat in no time based on your progress.

That's some sweet loot. Especially the auto-petters. But yeah, if you had +3 from festival food, the +5 from the magic rock candy would have significant effect. I thought I was lucky during the desert festival when I got 3 prehistoric floors that brought me close to the goal for pepper rex. Your luck was better.

I went on a good luck day, but not a "very happy spirits" day. If I have to try again, I'll try a bad luck day because I want to test to see if it matters. I haven't read anything in the wiki that suggests that better Daily Luck means more Iridium, I just have to confirm. In fact, better Daily Luck would mean more Treasure Room Floors which would mean LESS Iridium, right?

Wait, what?! I thought I DID beat your record! I thought it was 3117! I didn't want to have to keep doing this haha. What's your record then if you don't mind? :)

The sad part about this is that because I like to see the little red heart when I pet my rabbits, I don't even WANT the autopetters.

Has anyone ever had this happen before?!

Another 1.6 mine layout I don't think I've ever seen before.
Click to expand...
I've seen the layouts, but I don't think I've seen them with the mines in dangerous mode. Then again, often when the mines are in dangerous mode it's because I've taken on Danger in the Deep and I'm mostly just looking for the stairs down. I do know I haven't seen a frozen castle map with forest debris and monsters.

I think those layouts are more common in Skull Cavern. Maybe because the Mines are locked in a specific pattern at the beginning and the RNG has to decide to pick a different layout, whereas the Skull Cavern just has every layout with equal chance.

Completed the last two monster hunter goals. Now it's just a matter of making another 3.5 million for the gold clock, and a whole lot of crafting.

Turned the mine to dangerous and spent some time on the forest floors, mainly looking for hardwood and mahogany seeds. I want to finish at least one avenue with mystic trees. More mushroom logs are also welcome, even if I'm running out of space for dehydrators. I can fit just 10 more unless I move the iridium mushroom processing to the preserve jar shed.

The baby's stopped sleeping like a baby. Not long before he's a rugrat.

ETA: My 8th ostrich hatched and forced me to sell off the "baby" goat.

Started Summer Y6 now. The winter was quiet, a bit of mining and all tools upgraded to iridium. Willy won, of course, too many fidgety fish on my hook that just waste time... I now have seven ostriches, that'll have to do for now. In spring, I completed Qi's extended family quest and caught the ‘normal’ legend a day later. Now all that's missing is crimsonfish, octopus, pufferfish and scorpion carp. We'll see. I used the spring to plant an orchard, which meant removing a few farn trees, which are now growing elsewhere. Also let Abby win the Egghunt once again , I was only one egg behind... And I did miss the Flower Dance for the first time in this save. Elliott told me the night before, he would be happy to dance with me next day, but didn't comment my forgetfullness later on. But I wasn't in the mood to restart the day either. During summer, I plan expanding the house for the last time. Thought about getting Elliott some kind of a writing corner, and the aquarium for the legendary fish needs space too. And I still have to befriend a few villagers, but Perfection watch out, I'm coming...

Got a Lucky Ring while panning. It quickly got combined with a Slime Charmer Ring. Now I'm better prepared for the Skull Cavern.

The little rugrat hid under one of the beds in his room one day so it took until almost his bedtime to interact with him.

Mushroom log grove fully equipped with mushroom logs. Now I just have to trade out the excess spruces for mystic trees, but I won't get far on that project before reaching Perfection. 1 million left to earn and still a bunch of crafting to be done. If I don't work on the crafting, it will be what's holding me up rather than the clock being the last piece.

Didn't get anywhere at all with the project of changing the spruces to mystic trees. Perfection was achieved after fairydusting the gold quality starfruit wine in the cellar, and one day of frantic crafting to complete that part (including visiting Willy's shop and the desert to buy the last two recipes).

Summit visited, statue of true perfection fetched and placed in the house.

Standard, Wilderness, and 4 Corners left to play... *rolls 3d dice (6 sided dice, result divided by 2)* And it's Wilderness... Yikes.
Now, who to woo with that farm... On earlier saves I've married Abigail, Shane, Sebastian, Harvey, and Leah, so they're out of the picture.
