Easiest Seal Objective In Your Opinions ?

[Samseng Yik]

The first 3 objectives seem like easier to choose.
The last one require much more planning to do well.

1) Open or send 3 caches.
With or without seal forest, most player are going to do this anyway.
Difference is this is not retroactive so we should start doing after get the seal.

2) level 2 standing with 3 settlements.
90 amber total. This should be bread and butter for P10+ players anyway.

3) 80 amber
Completing 2 should almost automatically complete this.
Just need a bit more from glade event or order reward.

4) Rain Water 600 consumption and burn 35 cyst.
Playing high prestige auto spawn around 10 cyst per 3 year.
So 9 year yield you 30 cyst already.
But still better use rain water earlier to reach the 600 target.

1) Caches is what I go for if possible, I've had bad luck with getting caches on seal runs though so then I go with rain engines.

2) and 3) work well together, I got the resolve rep one by accident once.

4) If I'm lucky with ancient tablets then that's easiest, for my P20 seal I went for rain water. Overdid it a bit year 6 but I managed to complete it just before corruption hit me.

1) Abandoned caches is the easiest but either of the others is a solid fallback.

2) They are all roughly as easy depending what you have drawn. Standing though is the fallback you can't really avoid.

3) Complex food and services is often easy and collecting 80 amber may give up opportunity cost in not buying cornerstones and blueprints. Delivering tools etc. seems pointless as the value of the items is more than the 80 amber.

4) Ancient tablets is the easiest but blightrot is the fallback. The resolve one seems very hard,

[Ysthrall]

I'm still finding my feet wit this, but so far it's been:
1) Open the caches
2) do lots of glade events for rep. And open more caches for rep.
3) Oh look I have vast amounts of cash from sending in all those caches. Ka-ching.
4) ...fail miserably trying to do the blight cysts one in time.

Next time for four I need to see if I can get a couple of forbidden glades ready to pop for the fourth challenge. And use that as a back-up, if my blightrot isn't running high...

"Ancient tablets is the easiest but blightrot is the fallback. The resolve one seems very hard,"

The easiest? This is the one I've never done because I've never had 6 tablets.
I've usually done resolve. Just turn off goods in your service buildings, consumption control the food, and buy everything. Kick it off at the start of drizzle.

The blight one is probably the most consistent - you can always force it with collectors and rain engines. (Once you get automatic blight - and especially at p11 when there's more of it - the resolve is probably easier before this)


Ysthrall - I suggest not going for the glades unless you _already_ have the tablets, as going for it and failing will make the resolve/bight harder by adding a bunch of hostility and thus shortening your time.

Just win the P15 seal. It go exactly as I planned.
However,
1) The crates are not as common as I plan.
I am only able to get 2 crates when I found the seal. (both crates within this glade with seal)
Opened another 4 glades only managed to found 1 another

2) By the time I find 3 crate at year 5, the trade route level already non issue
3) Ditto just like (2), no money problem.

4) At the mid of year 5, I only managed to consume 270 water.
Then I build extra rain collector , with 4 people constantly collecting.
Just noticed I have no source of pipe. And managed to buy 5 from trader just to install 1 another building for storm water consumption.

[Harwin]

I had this same problem with only finding 2 crates - so I just piped 8 buildings. I didn't get that until year 4, but then just like you, goals 2+3 were already done(trade + money), and having piped that many buildings made it really easy to use 600 water.

[Chris!!]

I often do the first option (12 packs of crops, provisions and materials), trade relations, amber, and glades with ancient tablets. I never seem to be able to do the others.

[Samseng Yik]

I always not confidence with food stockpile.
Spending food to make provision and crop is big no no to me.
I am able to get enough tablet from large fossil vein, but play safe better just wait out the water consumption
