I know most of you already know this by now, but here's how i do it.

Things you need

This is the endgame strategy. You need Queen Sigma and a fully unlocked Bone Zone (hurry, limit break, inverse, endelss).
Do not use random events as it can spawn annoying reapers, and this is a set and forget run, no movement necessary.

Steps to profit

1. Start with 2 weapon slots, one for Vicotry sword, one for Gatti Amari.
2. Passive weapons:
- Torona's Box - to evolve Victory Sword
- Stone Mask - Evolve Gatti Amari + extra gold
- Attractorb - to suck in the gold and XP
- Empty tome - self explanatory, cooldown reduction = DPS
- Clover - increases chance of gold bag to trigger and extend the gold rush
- Crown - to outlevel the enemy strength gain
- Get the RIngs and Metaglios from the stage.
3. Extra weapons from Candyboxes:
- Night Sword - get from Candybox in random chests (luck almost guarantees you'll get it), will evolve with Stone Mask, same as Gatti Amari.
- Luminaire - Increases gold and XP value, get from Turbo Candybox (already evolved), but it evolves with the Crown as well if you don't get the Turbo one from chests
4. Important arcanas (in any order, buy extra from the jester if you want - you can buy one every 30 minutes which is 15 minutes with hurry active!):
- Mad Groove - with "hurry" this will hoover up all the light sources every 1 minute. You don't have to move to find lights, they'll come to you and extend gold rush.
- Disco of Gold - every 1 minute guaranteed trigger of gold rush (especially with high luck)
- Silent Old Sanctuary - extra damage and reduced cooldown for the locked weapon slots
- Wicked Season - Increases Greed, but other helpful stats too. Over time, it guarantees Disco of Gold triggers and duration.
- Helpful - Slash (crits), Beginning (sword amount), Sarabande of Healing (for Muramasa, and to survive bosses and the Drowner without moving).
5. Limit break only Vicotry sword until you get VIcious Hunger. Then set to random always.
6. Park near the jester and go to sleep, go outside, put on another virtual desktop in the background and do other stuff.
7. ???
8. Profit.

How do you do your gold runs? Is there anything you do differently?

I love how ridicoulosy unbalanced this game is after you've beaten it (the start is rough).

This is what happens after 200 minutes (which is actually 100 minutes with hurry!).

sammy and silent old sanctuary, make sure limit break is off (or the game will break)

get disco of gold from the funny pants man.

profit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3024190482

(also this is possible with or without eggs, eggs just make getting the money faster)

oh right i should also stress, with this 'build', absolutely DO NOT take mad groove. when mad groove picks up everything on the map it temporarily stops you from getting the coins that were flying towards you, which can result in your death.

Yeah, Sammy with limit break makes the game run at 1 fps lol, but it's fun haha.
Sigma never runs badly with limit break, that's why i choose her mostly even though Sammy is better (even though i die without limit break lol). :P

[mastersord]

Big Trouser can blow Sammy away once you start farming eggs on him.

[Capybarasan]

I don't think you explained everything you did. I see two, what seems to be, locked weapon slots?

[KellyR]

Sammy blows Trouser out of the water entirely.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030552507

The reason is Wicked Season. Wicked Season gives you +greed with every level up, and while, yes, Trouser can also take Wicked Season, Sammy levels at an exponentially greater rate than Trouser can ever manage. Look at my level in that screenshot. And I should note that the game was probably tens of thousands of levels behind because it will only advance your level so fast. I had picked up left Metaglio when I was only like level 4000 and the game never got around to actually awarding it to me because it was busy processing the backlog of level-ups for so long.

Yes, I had almost 500 eggs in that run, but they're entirely unnecessary. Pick Sammy, go to Bone Zone. Take Disco of Gold as your starting Arcana and immediately run to the Merchant and buy a second arcana, and pick Wicked Season.

Congratulations, you are now on a god gold run. It basically doesn't even matter what your build is, but screen clearing weapons like Phieraggi, No Future, Echo Night, Godai Shuffle, etc will earn money faster.

I actually took Wicked Season quite late in this run, and that was a mistake. I could have had MUCH more money if I'd taken it at the start. But even so, I pulled down 331 million gold in 60 minutes.

You start with 2 weapon slots, then you get 2 more weapons from Candyboxes, and that's why there's 2 locked weapon slots. You can set the number of weapons in the character select screen. You might have to unlock this feature, i forgot, but since this is an endgame farm, i assumed it woudl be unlocked. It's been a while.

I have to farm eggs for sammy for it to be good without limit break.
With limit break though, it's CRAZY money, but after 5 minutes on hurry, the game slows to 1 FPS lmao, even though in that time, i basically got to lvl 600 and the gold/XP growth seems exponential. Hilariously broken! :D I wish it would work properly though, idk why it bugs out the game.

[KellyR]

This is a Sammy run with NO eggs (And an accidentally sub-optimal build), just to prove that it still makes Trouser cry from jealousy:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030595234

One hour, eggs turned off, limit breaks off, 215 million gold.

The secret is just Wicked Season.

Though I was wrong in my previous post. Taking Wicked Season as one of your two starting Arcana doesn't seem to be a good idea. You'll end up with curse advancing so fast (Because your leveling speed increases exponentially over time) that you won't be able to kill the 10 minute boss and evolve anything.

Instead, take Wicked Season at 11 minutes, or 21.

[KellyR]

Another, better run.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030628928

Accidentally quit early, which is really frustrating, but yeah. This run would have probably ended up with even more gold than the egged up run I posted first (The 331 million gold run), all because I took Wicked Season at 11 minutes instead of 21 this time.

It was no eggs, and of course no limit breaks.

This is all about a couple of interactions:
1: Sammy gains xp equivalent to any gold they pick up.
2: Opheon has a chance to instantly kill any enemy that isn't immune to rosary, that scales with luck.

Since Wicked Season gives you +1% greed, +1% growth, AND +1% luck for every two levels, every time you level up you level faster afterwards. And the luck scales Opheon's instant kill chance. The second thing isn't nearly as important, but it IS funny that you can hit !0000% luck and have a 100% chance to kill on hit with Opheon.

But the main thing is just that Wicked Season makes Sammy level faster and faster while earning gold faster and faster as time goes by.

[KellyR]

So I actually ran this one to 60 minutes, no eggs, and it's my best run so far:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031538753

I got Wicked Season at about 22 minutes because I had left the arcana chest until after I'd evolved the guns into Phieraggi and picked up another weapon. The reason being that after a while with Wicked Season you're leveling so fast you can no longer pick up items. I mean, you can touch them and they disappear, but you'll never get the prompt to pick it up or discard it, because you simply have more level-ups waiting to process than you have time left in your run. And I wanted to be able to pick up any candyboxes and free passives I got from random events.

Anyway, to illustrate how Wicked Season makes Sammy gain gold faster and faster over time, I took screenshots at 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 minutes:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031537648
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031537699
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031538076

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031538565
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031538654

Bonus: The moment I believe Opheon became fully 100% chance to kill on hit:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031538437

So, gold amounts at each time stamp were:
30: 6,524,760
35: 20,637,060
40: 54,329,340
45: 123,116,200
50: 227,697,200
55: 359,163,000
60: 547,789,000

Which means that the amounts gained over each 5 minute period were:
30-35: 14,112,300
35-40: 33,692,280
40-45: 68,786,860
45-50: 104,581,000
50-55: 131,465,800
55-60: 188,626,000

So for the first 3 increments, the amount roughly doubled each time. After that, the increase slowed, but there was a continual increase.

In conclusion: Sammy is OP, and a much better gold farmer than Trouser, unless you somehow have Trouser but don't have Disco of Gold and Wicked Season.

Wait, Sammy won't destroy your house if you disable Limit Break? Never knew that...>.>
I've been using Trouser on Switch. (on Steam before trying Trouser I used...Peppino with thousands of eggs for some reason. xD)

Yeah. You have to disable limit breaks, AND not take Boogaloo of Illusions for obvious reasons. Chaos in the Dark Night hasn't given me trouble yet, thankfully.

[Vepar]

Idk how you do it with Sammy lol, without eggs, i didn't get more gold than Sigma, and with eggs, without limit break, i still get 1FPS (although, the gold amount is insanely high).

Sigma is a nice background endless farm while you do other stuff on the computer, Sammy is great for short bursts on hurry lol.

Also, i think it bugged out because i couldn't get any evolutions out of any chest. Not that it mattered...

Case in point: https://youtu.be/H7S9FE2JVfw

haha

Like I've been saying, you HAVE to get Wicked Season to do it with Sammy. Once you have that, you can just run it overnight if you want. Obviously do not have limit break on, and do not have Boogaloo of Illusions. Anything else should work.

This is my exact build from the last run, if you want to try it:

1. Turn off Limit Break (And optionally turn off eggs if you want to see that this does work without them).

2. Take Sammy, go to Bone Zone obviously.

3. Pick Disco of Gold to start.

4. Immediately go to the merchant and buy a second starting arcana, and max rerolls, banishes, and skips (This all costs like 30-40k altogether, but that's chump change).

5. Pick Divine Bloodline as your arcana pick from the merchant.

6. Take Eskizzibur as soon as it comes up, to give you an AoE counterattack to pair with Divine Bloodline so that your HP skyrockets. This is probably unnecessary as the combination of Disco of Gold and Sammy's starting weapon makes you near invincible anyway, but there's no kill like overkill.

7. You are aiming to get the following weapons:
* Vicious Hunger (Starting weapon)
* Eskizzibur
* Runetracer
* Phiera Der Tuphello
* Eight the Sparrow
* Shadow Servant
* Laurel

8. You are aiming to get the following passives:
* Stone Mask
* Empty Tome
* Skull O'Maniac
* Armor
* Tiragisu
* Toronna's Box

9. Once you have all your passives and all the weapons you can get until you combine the guns, you should head up to the Silver Ring. Grab that and immediately head for the Left Metaglio. Then optionally head for Gold Ring, but either way you should get Right Metaglio as well.

10. Now you simply wait for 10 minutes to arrive so that you can evolve a weapon, and cross your fingers that it's the guns.

11. After you have Phieraggi combined, and you have already got your last weapon to fill the now empty weapon slot, you should get Wicked Season.

12. From the 21 minute chest, you should take Chaos in the Dark Night (Mainly for Vicious Hunger, but also for No Future).

13. Congratulations, you're done! Now you just afk and collect your money later.

Bonus:
Priorities when you get candyboxes after completing your build:
* Song of Mana (It evolves with an item you already have, and is a screen clearing weapon)
* Prismatic Missile, if you can get Crown.
* Anything that covers the screen and matches a passive you have.


Eskizzibur and Runetracer both evolve with the same passive (Armor), and both synergize with Divine Bloodline by giving AoE counterattacks (Though Runetracer only gives these after evolving to No Future). Laurel works well with Divine Bloodline by allowing you to make counterattacks without taking damage, and after it evolves it also provides more AoE counterattacks. Shadow Servant and Song of Mana both evolve with Skull, and Shadow Servant, after evolving to Opheon, synergizes with Wicked Season as it has a chance to instantly kill enemies which scales with luck, and Wicked Season gives you uncapped scaling luck. The guns are just there because you're going to want screen clearing power in the long run.

Obviously you have to make sure the guns are both in the first 5 weapons you get, as you need to combine them before you pick up the "seventh" weapon.

If you get candyboxes from chests before you have all these weapons, you should skip them, at least if you have random events enabled, as there is a chance that you can get candybox from the random events, in which case you will get nothing if you have already pulled candybox from a chest. I think anyway, definitely if you've already gotten Super Candybox you get nothing. If you get Free Passives from the events, you will want to grab them as well, especially if Crown drops, as you'd like to get Prismatic Missile if you can, to evolve into Luminaire for more screen clearing and xp boost (Which Vicious Hunger will turn into money.

Theoretical Note: You can probably dump the guns for something else, which would allow you to skip Tiragisu. Song would be a good choice here as it evolves with Skull, but Prismatic Missile may be an even better choice, if you replace Tiragisu with Crown. I haven't tried this myself yet, but I think it should work.

Similarly, you can probably drop Runetracer, and Eskizzibur, if you replace them with Night Sword or Victory Sword (Or anything that gives AoE counterattacks). Night Sword matches with Stone Mask which you already have, and Victory Sword of course provides its own evolution passive.

[leqesai]

I just go into bone zone with trouser. Pick Laurel and Clock Lancet. Don't accept any passives except toruna box and skull. I choose the heal = damage arcana and the gold party arcana then just afk for 15 minutes and collect a billion gold.

[CazadorDeLobo]

You lost me at "no movement necessary" this isn't Runescape, so afking while the number rises doesn't tend to have the same reward/gameplay benefit for everyone else as it does for you - if you choose to do something like this in a single-player game, anyways.
