Farm Gold

[Quillathe]

Hi all
what is best or optional way for farm gold?
Any good ideas?

[Jork]

if you have the newest dlc, sammy isn't that difficult to unlock

if you don't have the dlc, look into unlocking trouser

sammy is the best gold farm character overall

Victory Sword / Greatest Jubilee and Laurel as shield

Adds:
Torruna's Box for evolue sigma weapon
skullmaniac more monsters = more gold
attractorb - more distance colect
Stone Mask - 10% gold impact per lvl
Clover - more luck
empty tome as dmg

Arcany core by piority:
1)Wicked Season
2)Disco of Gold
3)Sarabande of Healing

optional
Slash - optional, damage for the victory sword
Silent Old Sanctuary - optional, more damage

Used these guide:

I read some faqs

Sammy or sigma can be good early game with farming
but upgraded with eggs with time Trouser will beat them gather.

Gold farming revolves around increasing your "greed" stat as much as possible and triggering Gold Fever more frequently for longer periods.

To optimise this, you'll have to "finish" the game by defeating the Directer (sic). This will unlock the "Greatest Jubilee" weapon, which summons light sources to you every so often. This gives you more frequent coin bags.

You'll get a choice between "Too Hard" and "Too Easy." Pick one, you'll get a relic. Head back to Eudaimonia Machine again later to get the other relic. This unlocks Inverse and Endless modes.

Make sure you have picked up the Randomazzo in Gallo Tower, unlocking the Arcana system; the Yellow Sign in Holy Forbidden, unlocking hidden items; and the Great Gospel in Cappella Magna (you need the Yellow Sign for that one), unlocking Limit Break.

If you haven't already leveled a pentagram to level 7 and unlocked Christine, do that. Take Christine to Moongolow. Buy the Glass Vizard from the merchant to unlock the merchant in all stages. Collect all 16 of the stage items and raise them to max level, unlocking the Big Trouser character, who gets +1% greed every level and longer Gold Fever times. This will also raise Christine over level 50, unlocking the "Wicked Season" arcana.

Now you need to fight Death in the Inlaid Library stage. Use an upgraded Laurel and Clock Lancet to do this; the Crimson Cloak (Laurel upgraded with both intaglio items) will limit Death's damage to 10, and the Infinite Corridor (Clock Lancet upgrade with both rings) will freeze him much of the time. Killing Death is optimal, but you can also just survive for a full minute to unlock the "Jubilee of Gold" arcana.

Now take Big Trouser, enter the Bone Zone level in christmas tree mode (turn on ALL the options - hyper, hurry, arcana, limit break, inverse, endless), select Greatest Jubilee as your weapon from the candy box, grab Wicked Season as your first arcana, and buy Jubilee of Gold from the merchant as your second (an extra arcana is only available from the merchant when the level is in inverse mode).

Bone Zone has heavy gold bonuses, the Greatest Jubilee summons light sources which may contain gold bags, Jubilee of Gold makes those trigger Gold Fever, and Wicked Season raises your greed 0.5% per level while Big Trouser raises your greed by 1% per level.

Leave this run as long as you can stand. Like, start the level, max out your items, then turn off the sound and go to bed. Or work. or school, or whatever. Just leave it. For hours. Stack up cash.

Use the cash to buy golden eggs for Big Trouser. This is an investment. You want to put an OBSCENE number of eggs on Big Trouser. This character will never be fun again. It will be your dedicated gold farmer.

There are other things you can do to marginally improve performance, but when you have a SUFFICIENTLY obscene number of eggs, it literally doesn't matter what you do. I have 380k eggs on this character and my greed is +21182%, I pull in about 2 million gold a minute with all the options off and just taking the top upgrade for every level. If I use the basic farm strategy, I get about 40 million a minute. It would really not matter much if I improved that further.

I haven't improved or used Sammy much. He does make a lot of money but when I egged him up to like 20k, it was impossible to get anything done with his constant leveling, so I pulled them all off. It would take more experimentation than I want to do before I got a handle on how many eggs are "too many" for Sammy, when Big Trouser works fine.

5k eggs is on the edge of "too many" for regular play with any character, using much more than that just isn't fun for me anymore.

sammy, in the dlc.
only need his starting weapon, disco fever, and greed passive plus other standard passives like max projectiles/damage/projectile speed/etc.

his gold fevers easily reach 500k gold, netting a few milliom by 30.

assuming the lag doesnt make the game too choppy to even reach 30.

@cdarklock
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thx for full guide amlost make most of them but i see i still lack of few.

@Darth Zed
I tested 3 heroes and Sammy destroy all rest heroes
2nd is Sigma due of easy play
and the last one is trouser

However i saw few guides and boosted trouser seems be best in late game after 1-2k eggs on it.

...Why do people keep suggesting Sammy? The character basically destroys your computer, and puts the city in the risk of a massive pc explosion.

Anyways, trouser is the best right now, but any character would work. I even put quite a bit of gold eggs onto a gold farmer to get even more gold. That said, if you have Trouser, have him start out with Greatest Jubilee, start with the Arcana that gives you gold fevers from moneybags, have your second weapon Prismatic Missile and work on evolving that. (it increases XP and gold)

As for items and stuff just experiment, though....I usually go for Gold mask, Crown, Torrona's Box, Clover (or Skull for more enemies), Attractorb, and Empty Tome.

leave weapon limit on 1 and turn limit break off, just choose "always pick up gold bag on level up" and you don't need to worry about this

Check the Guides for the game. There's many options there. Even the ones that aren't 100% super efficient will still get the job done.

For Sammy its best to follow a part of the guidance that was for Trouser. The key factor being on the stage Il Molise. The frame rates will be stable there due to the plants not moving they only spawn if you move around.

It takes some pre-planning and a decent amount of gold build up to start, say get a minimum number of eggs for Sammy to at least have 1,000 percent modifiers for Greed, Growth and Luck. The more eggs you get the faster Sammy will ramp for further gold gains and egg buying.

Seal (disable) all ground drops except gold and maybe the clovers.

Basic build set for Sammy is set limit to two weapons, immediately pick Greater Jubilee as the second weapon. Pick Wicked Season as the first Arcana then immediately run up to the merchant to buy Disco of Gold.

Frame rates should be stable in Il Molise as the only effects will be Sammy's base weapon, Greatest Jubilee and the light sources it spawns being destroyed triggering Gold Fever.

I stopped buying eggs for Sammy at ~185 thousand, this brings all stat modifiers to around 10,000%, which with Luck the Greatest Jubilee will constantly spawn light sources. Gold Fever will almost be constantly cycling extremely fast to nearly 2 million.

My last gold farm run with Sammy I had 200 million gold in ~11 minutes reaching over level 17,000 at around 90 FPS.

(edit)
When buying eggs en masse in Moongolow, be sure to go south and remove all eggs for move speed. It is one of the helpful egg management options, but is limited per character reaching I believe a minimum of 25k eggs before it is available.

i figure out how farm with out lags
you need just keep move sammy in specific corner.. not side like left or down.. you need keep go corner so you need hold 2 buttons top or down gather with left or right..

Even if you got hard lag by afk farm you can unlag game like this after few secounds
but you need ALL THE TIME keep move.. and your game supose work smooth amlost like and virgin early game...

Here is proof i didnt break game and i pass 29 min not fuly 30 i die 1 min before end game xD

Monsters was too strong for clean sammy with out boosted by eggs
i farmed about 37 milion. near 4k LVL xDDDDDDDD

here screen as prove:

But i agree with guy above li molise is better bc you dont need move so you can easier afk farm

Dunno how map farm compared bone vs Il Molise but i can test it
thx for info lunar
