Am I the only one using radioactive coal as mana farm?

[Gimli]

Title, but also, I never had a trilion mana, I literally cant have more in the bank, its insane.

[Reps]

yup i am doing the same thing

[Zhaidel]

I'm also selling it. Honestly, the coal pet is pretty bad event for the pet, however, it is an amazing way to make a lot of money which the game normally lacks.

There are plenty of other pets that roll superior stats and are easier to farm in bulk instead of needing an insane 44 coal with the potential to regularly role stats in the 300s and only caps at 800, max ever. Seems to be mostly oriented to the freshest nightmare entry players who don't know how to get better stuff yet like the super easy to get Treadmill on Treadmill that regularly hits 600-850 (overcap) stats and can upgrade to 800 while having a superior movement speed buff, or convenient to farm while high end armor farming comparable pets with slightly lower movement speed such as Pumpkin on Treadmill, among many others.

Gimli you can have more money. Once you hit 1 trillion mana you need to create a mana token which becomes an item in your Forge inventory that you can lock/sort into a folder until you need to sell it. Think of it as a bank note that you trade in for its exact value, but does not normally show on your owned mana. Example, say you want to store a 900 billion mana just type 900b for the token amount and this leaves you with 100 billion to use when needed in your bank while the 900 billion is stored as token.

Lol I tried doing that, but the mana token would cap out at 2 bilion, a fraction more than the coal. so I went ahead and just dropped all the extra coal on the floor, because I still dont have more than 300 inventory space. Currently working towards ultimate defender hehe.
But yeah, my go to pet currently is the turkey on a treadmil

Weird. Make sure to try it with no spaces between the 900 and b like 900b. Worked for me. I couldn't get the 1t to work, though supposedly it does.

Yeah, the expanded 600 inventory space is a game changer for sure. I think I'm one more easy mission away from the 800 now that you reminded me, assuming it doesn't make be rebeat the enhanced old one fight. I should go finish that.

Ohhh thats how you do it. haha no wonder it didnt work for me. I assumed putting in 100000000000 would work to, but that caps at 2b. Thanks :)

[Zhaidel]

NP, and thanks to you reminding me I now got the 800 inventory achievement with some nice accessories and am working my way for the 1000 inventory one now.

Note, if you don't get your accessories after doing the achievement, when you get to that point... What I did was upon finishing the mission and getting the tavern where it grants you the achievement you may have to start a game and loose/win to get it to then announce the rewards (automatically put into forge inventory) upon returning to tavern after. As for the one you are working on now, no accessories but you get your 600 inventory (use the safe in basement to activate) and in the basement there is a free exp orb to make one hero automatically lv 100.

[Gimli]

nice! yeah only one in my way now is to clear crystalin dimension on nm. Has been a good 8 years since I last tried that, so we will see how that goes haha.
Thanks for the tips, I will keep them in mind for when I get to your point

[Zhaidel]

Idk your stats but if they're fairly decent Hermit makes it a total breeze. No need to use tower boost at all, no need to really upgrade stuff other than buff beam, just play solo to keep boss hp low as possible and bring a fairy (or better cupid/goblin cupid because of annoying mobs) for the boss round. I was surprised at how easy it was when I tackled it recently expecting it to be way harder but I guess at this point of time my stats were too high for it. Died on boss first try though because no healing for boss insane dmg output from fire DoTs.

[Gimli]

Yeah I saw theo's recent video of him doing it on ruthless, where he mainly builds with the hermit. I am planning on using his build. I am mostly worried about the boss. My builders are around 5-6k stats, so thats heaps. Currently farming a lovers cupid just for the boss fight, and once i have a decent one I will give it a try

[Gimli]

Update: I managed to clear crystalin dimension on NMHC
Was pretty easy tbh. The first time, the old one instantly shoved me off the platform haha. Second time worked out pretty well tho! I am now the proud owner of 600 inventory space :)

[Zhaidel]

Nice. I'm working on getting a good enough Cupid, and trying to figure out which of the three are the best option for the Great Old One who is a completely different monstrosity compared to the CD version. Not required for the 800 inventory, but the 800 inventory achievement is required to unlock his fight. You get a unique shield for beating him, apparently.

What level do you have to be to equip the treadmill on a treadmill? because i farmed the 44 coal for the pet and cant even equip it until lv 100 and its stats arent even that good for a lv 100 defender lol defiantly a waste of time for the coal pet but cool to have i guess lol

Level 100 iirc.

Basically the top end tower stat stick pets usually cap around 800 stats, and if below that point can be upgraded to it like the Diamond, etc.

A few, like Treadmill on Treadmill and Pumpkin on Treadmill, which are very easy to farm by comparison, can spawn with overcapped stats of 850, but cannot be manually upgraded past 800 for any stat between 800-850.

There are a few pets that can push to even 999 if you get crazy lucky farming some of the hardest maps, but I think honestly that really is an extreme case of not worth it. Accessories and good weapons would be a far better point to progress stats first before moving onto pets that go over 800/850 stats.

Now, for leveling Tinkerer's Lab campaign is really good on nightmare, or if you can't handle it insane or wave 1 nightmare if particularly lower level. Tavern defense is a good alternative, too, and you can just not do the boss wave to save yourself time and effort if you lack the ability to kill it with just the towers or lack a strong enough DPS. If you do win either of those maps, though, you can collect guardian pets, accessories, and sometimes other good drops (esp on Tinkerer's).

The event ends in a day or two but you have to do nightmare (insane might work, too) maps, especially survival, and coal just randomly drops. Radiation Coal is marked as supreme quality on your map to help you locate it and is a green rock.

If you want to make it into a pet take 44 that are in your forge and just above the shop keep npc and a bit to his left (or follow the left stairs that is) you will find the forge to make it. Says 88 coal but that is for diamond, not the radiation coal pet event.
