Residue Farming

[Grim Revan]

Just wondering if I'm overlooking anything. I have my Farmer class spec'd for residue farming, max residue store bonus, +1 from pets, and whacking bonuses gets me close to 1200 per 20 milking cycles @ 14 secs each. I'm still in A5 90%. Any insights on getting more would be great. Thank you in advance.

% from pets, that the most bonus u can get
and cards / residue expedition
i just dont remember if u have those unlocked in A5
also i would ignore the +1 residue from the pets (unless all the combo pets give u residue, i dont remember the teams) and go full %

I don't have a pet bonus % yet, but will add it when I do. The +1 residue adds over 100/cycle for me currently.

Only 2 combos include a residue pet.
Arizona Cid Itzamna : 1/3 residue - requires 6-1 pet - 2 air 1 ground
Asterios Flafy Darko : 2/3 residue - requires 7-2 and Expedition 15 rare pets - 2 ground 1 air

Full residue pet layout is only better if none of them are in your other teams as well as your other teams having no residue pet.
Having one or 2 residue pet's level being magnitude ahead of the others make a + 1 residue combo better because the other pets lower level can't compete with the higher level pet multiplying that +1 base residue.

As an example, on A8
Both have swamp king, plyne and garuda. All 3 used in other teams and quite ahead of arizona aphrodyte and papyrus.

+1 base with the arizona combo : 4 residue pets = 9.157e7 per 20 cycle
Switch cid and itzamna for aphrodyte and papyrus : 6 residue pets = 8.205e7 per 20 cycle

That is a lot of residue. I got some pets to farm.
