What is the fastest you've unlocked Krobus?

[NotSoSnarky]

I'm wanting to do a run where I unlock the sewers ASAP. In order to unlock the sewers, you'll need to donate 60 items to Gunther to get the key to the sewer. I was thinking the Hill-Top Farm for this type of challenge. You get a huge quarry, great for geodes and artifact spots. I noticed with the Hill-Top Farm you get more artifact spots, which could just give you coal, clay or stone. Or it could get you something else like a chicken statue or whatever. Some items like Fire Quartz or Aquamarine you can even get from fishing, so there isn't always a 1 way to donate to the museum.

I plan on spamming the mines for geodes and potential artifacts. I know that you can get certain items through hoeing the dirt in the mines, so I'll be doing that as well.

No cheats, no mods. Just pure vanilla play through. I was thinking about remixing the mines reward, but that was it. Or do you think original would be better?

Any thoughts/ideas/help would be appreciated as well.

Well, Hilltop wouldn't be so bad for that, but at the beginning you get more or less stone and ore from your Quarry. Takes a bit of time to spawn Geodes there. Maybe running the mines will help you more with getting gems.

Do you think it wouldn't really matter which farm to choose? Or maybe it would, but a different one?

Don't know tbh, just wanna say, don't expect too much from Hilltop. I don't focus in the sewer that much, it happens more or less incidentally.

Same with me, usually. Just whenever. (Usually after year 1), but that's why I'm wanting to do a play through with this in mind.

Then why not give it a try? I liked Hilltop so far, it's a good map to play anyway.

Hill-Top is a lot of fun. I've been able to craft 1 furnace on day 2 because I got so much copper ore. And then after I had crafted the furnace, I had just enough to craft a copper bar. The second day was the fastest I got Clint to show up to give me the blueprints of the Furnace.

Yeah that's really fast btw.
