How to farm gold

How to start farming billions of gold AFK while having no eggs (without DLCs or Queen Sigma). Gold-related game mechanics. etc

Intro

This guide is still "work in progress" and will be updated according to new tests and your comments

Just skip to "Early run example (0 eggs)" section if you don't need extra info.

• This guide is about how to start gold farming after you have beaten the game.
  You can beat the game in a couple of hours using my other guide:
  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953930313
  
• I'm focusing on AFK farming.
  
• I'm focusing on the main game content only (no DLCs). If you have the Tides of the Foscari DLC, you can farm with Sammy, use Ophion, etc, or just farm eggs on the Abyss Foscari stage (see "Extra" section below).
  
• All tests was performed with all the PowerUps maxed.

Additional tests needed:

• Launching option impact on ingame FPS (Normal/SteamUI/GPUfix);
  
• Sarabande of Healing vs Blood Astronomia vs Garlic for fast light sources destruction (and FPS impact);
  
• Benefits of using more than 1-2 weapons in late runs (killing speed vs FPS impact).

How gold mechanics work

There are five main ways of getting gold in the game (we're focusing on the first two):

1. destroying light sources (and picking up Gold Coins / Coin Bags / Rich Coin Bags);
   
2. killing enemies while Gold Fever is active;
   
3. picking up chests;
   
4. completing some weapon evolutions related achievements;
   
5. completing the stage by being killed by The Reaper or White Death (in this case you get rewarded with 500 gold and additional gold for each Revivals left).

Light sources spawn

• The total amount of light sources on screen cannot exceed 10, with the old ones disappear and replaced by the newly summoned.
  
• Light sources is a destructible object. The game attempts to spawn destructibles every second in all stages, except The Bone Zone (every 0.5 seconds) and Holy Forbidden (100 seconds).
  
• While the maximum amount of light sources are on the map, the game can still attempt to spawn light sources, but the spawn chance is no longer influenced by Luck, causing them to spawn less often. If a light source is spawned at the limit, it will spawn in a location closest to the player and an existing light source is despawned.
  
• In some stages (Inlaid Library, Dairy Plant, Gallo Tower), the light sources have predetermined possible spawn locations, whereas in other maps they spawn in an oval shape around the character (just out of sight).

Stage	Spawn interval	Spawn chance	Max spawn chance	Luck needed to max chance	Max destructibles
Mad Forest	1 sec	10%	50%	500%	10
Inlaid Library	1 sec	7,50%	50%	667%	10
Dairy Plant	1 sec	20%	60%	300%	10
Gallo Tower	1 sec	7,50%	50%	667%	10
Cappella Magna	1 sec	20%	80%	400%	20
Il Molise	1 sec	30%	60%	200%	10
Moongolow	1 sec	30%	60%	200%	10
Green Acres	1 sec	10%	50%	500%	10
The Bone Zone	0.5 sec	40%	40%	100%	10
Boss Rash	1 sec	10%	50%	500%	5
Tiny Bridge	1 sec	7,50%	50%	667%	10
Bat Country	1 sec	1%	50%	5000%	10
Holy Forbidden	100 sec	100%	100%	100%	100
Eudaimonia Machine	1 sec	7,50%	50%	667%	10

Light sources drops
When destroyed, light source drops one of the following items:

Pickup	Chance	Min player level	Holy Forbidden	Eudaimonia Machine	The Bone Zone	Bat Country	Comment (in terms of gold farming)
Gold Coin	62.1%	0	yes	yes	yes	yes	Gives 1 gold
Coin Bag	12.4%	0	yes	yes	yes	yes	Gives 10 gold; triggers Gold Fever (if Disco of Gold)
Rich Coin Bag	1.2%	5	no	yes	no	yes	Gives 100 gold; triggers Gold Fever (if Disco of Gold)
Rosary	1.2%	8	no	yes	no	yes	Mostly useless (more tests needed)
Nduja Fritta Tanto	1.2%	0	yes	no	no	no	Mostly useless
Orologion	2.5%	4	no	no	no	no	Decreases farming speed
Vacuum	2.5%	12	no	yes	no	yes	Could be used to collect exp while AFK
Floor Chicken	14.9%	0	yes	yes	no	yes	Mostly useless
Gilded Clover	1.2%	30	no	no	no	yes	Triggers Gold Fever (but it's better to use coin bags + Disco of Gold for this purpose)
Little Clover	0.6%	0	yes	no	no	yes	+10% Luck. Could help in early runs

If the stage is not mentioned in the table above, it means there are no restrictions to light source drop types there.

Gold Fever
There are two ways of triggering gold fever:

1. picking up Gilded Clover;
   
2. pinking up Coin Bag / Rich Coin Bag while having Disco of Gold (XV) arcana.

The second one is what we're interested in.

• When an enemy is killed during the Gold Fever, there is a 75% chance it drops a Gold Coin that has a value of 0.5 (multiplied by Greed and Stage Modifiers). Coins from Il Molise enemies has a base value of 0.1 instead.
  
• Gold Fever lasts for 10-15 sec (depending on character) and can be extended by collecting Gold Coins (both from enemies and light sources), Coin Bags, and Rich Coin Bags.
  
• More gold you collect during the Gold Fever, faster the timer depletes (time drain multiplier increases).

Character	Base duration	Duration increase (Gold Coin from enemies)	Duration increase (Gold Coin)	Duration increase (Coin Bag)	Duration increase (Rich Coin Bag)
Big Trouser	15 sec	0.015 sec	0.75 sec	7.5 sec	15 sec
Sammy (DLC)	12.5 sec	0.0125 sec	0.625 sec	6.25 sec	12.5 sec
Any other	10 sec	0.01 sec	0.5 sec	5 sec	10 sec

How golden eggs work

Golden Egg is an item pickup that permanently increases a random stat on the player's current character by a small amount:

• +1 Max Health;
  
• +0.1 Recovery, Armor, Amount, Revival, Reroll;
  
• +1% Movement Speed, Might, Projectile Speed, Duration, Area, Luck, Growth, Greed, Curse;
  
• -0.5% Cooldown;
  
• +0.3 Magnet;
  
• +0.2 Skip, Banish.

There is a hard cap on certain stats (further increase will have no effect on these stats):

• Might - 1000% (+900%);
  
• Speed - 500% (+400%);
  
• Duration - 500% (+400%);
  
• Area - 1000% (+900%);
  
• Cooldown - 10% (-90%; equals to x10 attack speed);
  
• Amount - 10 (+10; amount stat is 0 by default).

It means, that only useful stats that will keep increasing are - Luck, Growth, Greed and Curse.
Magnet has no hard cap, but at some point will cover entire screen and further increase will make no difference.

You can get Golden Eggs by:

• killing Masked Guardians (1 egg) - spawns near Rings and Metaglios (stage items);
  
• killing Moon Guardians (1 egg) - spawns at 14:00 at Moongolow;
  
• killing Death (5 eggs) - spawns at the end of stages (if not in Endless mode);
  
• purchasing from the Merchant on any stage (for 10000 gold);
  
• purchasing from the Eggman - see info below.

Eggman
The Eggman appears directly north in Moongolow (if you have at least 5000 golden eggs and 1 million gold), and offers Golden Eggs for 10000 gold (similar to the regular merchant), but has an option to spend all of your gold to buy max amount of eggs you can afford at once. There is no need in waiting for the purchase animation to complete, you can close the shop window right away.

Healer
The Healer appears directly south in Moongolow (if you have at least 5000 golden eggs) and offers:

• Flames of Moonspell - removes 100 Golden Egg bonuses at random;
  
• Lantern of Foscari - removes all MoveSpeed bonuses from Golden Eggs (available only if current character has more than 25000 Golden Eggs).

How Enemy spawn & Curse works

Enemies spawn in two ways:

• based on the current wave;
  
• based on the map event.

Waves

• Each stage has a set number of enemy waves. Waves change every minute.
  
• Each wave specifies a target amount of enemies and a spawn interval.
  
• Enemies will attempt to spawn until the target amount met.
  
• Enemies generally spawn just outside the screen and can despawn if the player moves far enough from them.
  
• When 300 or more enemies are alive the game will not spawn more enemies periodically, and only bosses and enemies from map events can spawn.
  
• Some waves could contain bosses. Bosses spawn once per wave.

Events

• Map events spawn additional enemy/enemies based on certain conditions. E.g. swarm of bats, flower walls, etc.
  
• Chance of map events occuring depends on character's luck - more luck, less chance (some events have 100% chance regardless of player's luck).

---

Curse
Curse is one of the player stats. It increases:

• enemy health;
  
• enemy movement speed;
  
• frequency of enemy spawn;
  
• quantity of enemy waves (target amount).

The player has 100% base Curse, meaning that at +50% enemies will have 150% health, 150% movement speed, and any wave will have 150% enemy target amount.

• The multipliers to health, movement speed and target amount stack multiplicatively with other effects of the same kind.
  
• Curse modifications from character bonuses, PowerUps and items stack additively.

Game options

Game launching option
More tests needed.

Ingame options
Be sure to enable Performance mode and disable Damage numbers / Flashing VFX in the game options menu to decrease FPS drop.
There is no Performance mode in the current game version anymore. Recommended settings:

• Damage numbers = off;
  
• Flashing VFX = off;
  
• Disable blood = on;
  
• Weapons ScreenShake = off;
  
• Show Defanged Enemies = off;
  
• Visually Invert Stages = off.

1. Character choice

Your starting choice could depend on how many eggs you have already invested in specific characters.
Here I assume, that you have no eggs on any character.
If we are talking about the basic game without DLCs, there are 2 viable options to perform gold farming:

1. Big Trouser - this is our choice to invest money in. He gains +1% Greed every level and his Gold Fever lasts longer. In AFK endless runs he gets thousands of levels, so it's an obvious choice.
   
2. Queen Sigma - if you just beaten the game, you probably haven't got her yet. She can farm 10+kk gold per 30 min run but cannot purchase eggs for herself, so quickly falls off in terms of profit.

To unlock Big Trouser, collect all 16 standard stage items In Moongolow and raise them all to max level. Then MANUALLY left the stage.

2. Weapons choice

We need to use as few weapons as possible to reduce game lag.

• Greatest Jubilee - is OK in terms of AOE damage and its attacks has 1% chance of spawning a light source (increased by Luck), which means more gold & more frequent Gold Fevers.
  
• Crimson Shroud (early runs only) - helps to survive vs tough waves & bosses while being AFK.

Greatest Jubilee stats

• Greatest Jubilee has 9 levels. At max level, Greatest Jubilee has +4 Amount, +20 Base Damage, +50% Area, -1.0 seconds of Cooldown, and a finisher effect.

Base stats at level 9

Stat	Value
Damage	30 (+20)
Area	1.5 (+50%)
Amount	5 (+4)
Cooldown	2.0 seconds (-1)
Duration	0.1 sec
Knockback	0.1
Critical Multiplier	2x
Critical chance	5% (light show only)
Max projectiles on screen	100
Projectile Interval	0.2 sec
Hitbox Delay	0.5 sec
Pierce	AOE
Blocked by walls	No

_________________________________

• Greatest Jubilee summons fireworks at the top half of the screen and a light show at the bottom of the screen (upon reaching level 9).
  
• Greatest Jubilee has a 0.5 seconds Hitbox Delay, meaning that the same enemy cannot be hit more often than every 0.5 seconds by the same light show. Firework particles can only hit the same enemy once.
  
• Firework ignores Duration and Speed bonuses. Light show ignores Area, Speed, and Amount bonuses.

Limit Break

Upgrade	Chance	Max
Might +1% (Base Damage +0.5)	47.6% (20)	-
Area +2.5%	23.8% (10)	x400 (1000%)
Speed +5%	23.8% (10)	x40 (200%)
Duration +100ms	2.4% (1)	x20 (2 sec)
Amount +1	2.4% (1)	x20 (20)

Crimson Shroud stats

• Crimson Shroud creates a shield that protects from damage and briefly makes the player invulnerable upon triggering. Limits incoming damage (10 HP). Causes retaliatory damage explosions when a charge is used.

Base stats

Stat	Value
Damage	0
Area	2
Speed	1
Amount	1
Cooldown	8.0 seconds
Knockback	20
Max projectiles on screen	50
Projectile Interval	0.1 sec
Pierce	AOE
Blocked by walls	No

____________________________

• Deals huge retaliatory damage: damage dealt to you (not reduced by Armor or Crimson Shroud's ability, but not more than 100) multiplied by Might, Curse and Armor (+10% for each armor point).
  
• Amount creates more explosions.
  
• Cooldown recharges the shields faster.
  
• Works well with Divine Bloodline (IX) arcana (could give you millions of max HP).

Limit Break

Upgrade	Chance	Max
Might +1% (Base Damage +0.5)	47.6% (10)	-
Area +2.5%	47.6% (10)	x400 (1000%)
Amount +1	4.8% (1)	x20 (20)

3. Passive items choice

• Here I list only those items that are somehow useful (so, no Hollow Heart, Pummarola, Bracer and Tiragisú (you can still take Tiragisú if having troubles surviving early and replace it later in the run).
  
• Item impact highly depends on the eggs amount. E.g. Clover gives Big Trouser 38.5% of his starting Luck stat with 0 eggs, but only ~0.9% on 100k eggs (starting Luck should be ~5700% at this point).
  
• Some stats are hard capped, so at some point respective items becomes completely useless (see "How golden eggs work" section above).

Item	Effect (max level)	Impact (few eggs)	Impact (many eggs)	Forest	Library	Plant	Tower	Magna	Moon-golow	Boss Rash
Empty Tome	-40% Cooldown	very high	none		free				free	free
Candelabrador	+50% Area	high	none			free			free	free
Attractorb	+398% Pickup range	very high	none			free			free	free
Crown	+40% Growth	high	low					free	free	free
Stone Mask	+50% Greed	high	low		free				free	free
Clover	+50% Luck	medium	low	free					free	free
Spinach	+50% Might	medium	none	free					free	free
Armor	-5 incoming damage	low	none			free			free	free
Spellbinder	+50% Duration	low	none				free		free	free
Torrona's Box	+100% Curse; +25% Might, Speed, Duration, Area	very high	medium
Skull O'Maniac	+50% Curse	high	low	free					free	free
Gold Ring	+40% Curse	high	low	free	free	free	free	free	free	free
Metaglio Right	+40% Curse	high	low	free	free	free	free	free	free	free
Silver Ring	+40% Duration, Area	high	none	free	free	free	free	free	free	free
Metaglio Left	+0.8 HP Recovery; +47.7% Max HP	low	low	free	free	free	free	free	free	free
Duplicator	+2 Amount	medium	none					free	free	free
Wings	+50% MoveSpeed	low	none			free			free	free

• So, on low-eggs runs I focus on getting Empty Tome > Attractorb > Crown > Candelabrador > Torrona's Box > Stone Mask & Skull O'Maniac <> Clover <> Spinach.
  
• Rings & Metaglios are free. Metaglios needed for Crimson Shroud.

You should adjust pickup order based on the particular stage free items (take those items when you already have all the slots occupied).

• On high-eggs runs it doesn't really matter, what items to pick (pick Attractorb if your initial magnet radius is too low).

4. Arcanas choice

• Only somehow useful arcanas listed below

Arcana	Effect	Impact (few eggs)	Impact (many eggs)
Disco of Gold (XV)	Picking up coin bags from the floor triggers Gold Fever. Obtaining gold restores as many HP.	very high	very high
Wicked Season (XIII)	Overall Growth, Luck, Greed, and Curse are doubled at fixed intervals. The character starts gaining +1% Growth, Luck, Greed, and Curse every 2 levels.	very high	high
Silent Old Sanctuary (XX)	Gives +3 Reroll, Skip, and Banish. Gives +20% Might and -8% Cooldown for each active weapon slot left empty.	high	low
Sarabande of Healing (VI)	Healing is doubled. Recovering HP damages nearby enemies for the same amount.	questionable (FPS drop)	questionable (FPS drop)
Divine Bloodline (IX)	Armor also affects weapons' damage and reflects enemy damage. Character gains bonus damage depending on missing Health. Defeating enemies with retaliatory damage gives +0.5 Max Health.	high (with Crimson Shroud)	questionable
Boogaloo of Illusions (XVIII)	Overall Area continuously changes between -25% and +25% over 10 seconds. The character starts gaining +1% Area every level.	medium	none
Blood Astronomia (XXI)	Weapons also emit special damaging zones affected by Amount and Magnet. Enemies within Magnet range take damage based on Amount.	questionable	questionable
Mad Groove (VIII)	Every 2 minutes attracts all standard stage items, pickups, and light sources towards the character.	questionable	questionable
Lost & Found Painting (XVII)	Overall Duration continuously changes between -50% and +50% over 10 seconds. The character starts gaining +1% Duration every level.	low	none
Awake (IV)	Gives +3 Revivals. Consuming a Revival gives +10% Max Health, +1 Armor, and +5% Might, Area, Duration, and Speed.	low	none
Beginning (X)	Weapons get +1 Amount. The character's main weapon and its evolution gain +3 Amount instead.	low	none
Slash (XVI)	Enables critical hits for the Greatest Jubilee's light show. Doubles overall critical damage.	questionable (FPS drop)	questionable (FPS drop)
Heart of Fire (XIX)	Weapon projectiles explode on impact. Light sources explode. Character explodes when damaged.	negative (FPS drop)	negative (FPS drop)

The most useful arcanas for the farming purpose are:

• Disco of Gold - our main source of income;
  
• Wicked Season - helps to level up faster, earn more gold, kill more enemies (cuz Curse), etc.

For early runs extremely helpful arcanas are:

• Silent Old Sanctuary - helps to survive and kill enemies faster (if weapon limiter set);
  
• Divine Bloodline - paired with Crimson Shroud gives huge amount of max HP;
  
• You need to collect exp while AFK. So, either do not seal the Vacuum, or just pick Mad Groove.

How to unlock arcanas and other stuff:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850824605

5. PowerUps & Seal choices

It's recommended to have all the standard PowerUps maxed out (including Curse).
Most PowerUps are available from the start of the game, but some requires to perform additional actions to unlock:

PowerUp	Effect	How to unlock	Comment
Reroll	Allows you to get different choices when leveling up or selecting arcanas	To fully unlock, requires to reach Level 80 with Mortaccio, Yatta Cavallo, Bianca Ramba, O'Sole Meeo and Sir Ambrojoe	Could help in early runs, but is not mandatory
Skip	Allows you to skip level up choices and get Experience instead	To fully unlock, requires to survive 15 minutes in Il Molise, Green Acres, The Bone Zone, Moongolow and Boss Rash	Not particularly useful
Banish	Allows you to remove an item from level up choices, for the rest of the run	To fully unlock, requires to fill 100 entries in the Collection	Not particularly useful, but helps to get Seal
Omni	Increases Might, Projectile Speed, Duration and Area by 2% per rank (max +10%)	Get Torrona's Box to Level 9	Could help in early runs
Charm	Increases enemies spawn quantity by 20 per rank (max +100)	Find the Apoplexy at minute 9:00 in Bat Country (follow the green arrow)	Very useful in early runs. Useless in late runs
Seal	Allows to Banish an item from level up choices, or a pickup from light sources (in the Collection menu)	Seal - Banish 10 or more items in a single run. Seal 2 - Banish 20 or more items in a single run (additional banishes could be bought from merchant)	Very useful

It's highly recommended to get Seal (at least the first one), cuz we need to seal all the unnecessary drop from gold sources (to maximize gold drop):

• seal the Orologion, cuz it deceases farming speed;
  
• seal Rosary, Nduja Fritta Tanto and Floor Chicken to get gold instead.
  
• seal the Gilded Clover - it starts Gold Fever, but gives no gold on pickup, so is basically worse than any of coin bags (considering using Disco of Gold arcana). Could still help to start Gold Fever more frequently in early runs;
  
• for the late runs also seal the Vacuum - it could help in early AFK runs (if not using Mad Groove arcana), but is useless after you get enough magnet radius.

Little Clover could help in early runs, but is almost useless in late runs.

6. Mode choice

All stages have four unlockable, toggleable modes:

Mode	Effect
Hyper	+65-75% character and enemies' move speed; +15-25% projectile speed; +50% gold multiplier . Could also give Luck bonus and increase enemies health on some stages
Hurry	Doubles the Clock Speed of the stage and increases XP gain by 25%. Normal stages reach 30:00 when 15 minutes have elapsed in real time. All time-based events (e.g. enemy wave spawns, evolution chests) occur at their usual timestamps on the in-game timer
Inverse	+200% gold multiplier ; +20% Luck; +200% enemies Max Health (+5% additional Max Health and 0.5% movement speed every minute). Merchant offers additional Arcana, Skips, Banishes, and Rerolls
Endless	Instead of the final wave (Reapers) restarts stage waves from the beginning giving enemies +100% base Max Health, +50% spawn frequency and target amount, +25% damage, and lowering player's max damage cap by 1

For farming runs we're choosing all the modes except Hurry.

7. Stage choice

Each stage applies modifiers to certain player and enemy stats:

Stage	Gold*	Luck*	Enemy HP*	Time limit	Extra
Mad Forest	250%	20%	200%	30 min
Inlaid Library	250%	30%	200%	30 min
Dairy Plant	270%	30%	200%	30 min
Gallo Tower	280%	30%	200%	30 min
Cappella Magna	290%	30%	200%	30 min
Il Molise	250%	40%	260%	15 min	Enemies do not spawn correctly (if character has high magnet radius)
Moongolow	250%	40%	260%	15 min	Extra free items. Moon Guardians spawn
Green Acres	250%	30%	300%	30 min	Random waves
The Bone Zone	300%	20%	200%	30 min	+0.3/min enemy HP multiplier; +0.05/min enemy movement speed multiplier
Boss Rash	250%	30%	300%	15 min
Bat Country	280%	30%	200%	20 min	-75% exp; +0.2/min enemy HP multiplier; +0.025/min enemy movement speed multiplier
Tiny Bridge	280%	30%	200%	20 min	+0.2/min enemy HP multiplier; +0.025/min enemy movement speed multiplier

* stats include Hyper/Inverse modes' modifyers.

I did some quick test runs on Hyper/Hurry/Inverse (having exactly the same build from 0:15):

Stage	Time limit	Enemies killed	Gold earned	Level	Gold coins	Rich Coin Bags	Coin Bags	Little Clovers	Gold/min	Level/min
Mad Forest	30	212364	95130459	1939	166827	1348	172	13	3171015	65

Tiny Bridge	20	164194	73032442	1546	134587	843	110	5	3651622	77

According to this results, we're most interested in Cappella Magna, Moongolow and Bat Country stages.

• Cappella Magna is great in terms of destructibles' spawn chance and max amount => more coin bags;
  
• Moongollow - in terms of exp;
  
• Bat Country has lots of low-health enemies => more gold coins (but less exp).

// more tests needed

Early run example (0 eggs)

For the first run you can choose Moongolow on Hyper/Arcanas/Limit break/Inverse/Endless.
You can AFK it since min 15, but it's recommended to get 5th and 6th arcanas as well (Blood Astronomia (XXI) helps to destroy light sources faster, Divine Bloodline (IX) gives a ton of HP to survive later on).

Tips

• Don't seal Armor, cuz it multiplies Crimson Shroud damage.
  
• Set weapon limit to 2. Pick the Greatest Jubilee as your starting weapon.
  
• Choose arcanas according to the image below.
  
• The second weapon would be Crimson Shroud (so, pick Laurel on level-up if offered).
  
• Focus on getting the Greatest Jubilee to max level ASAP.
  
• There are 16 free items on the stage, but no Torrona's Box, so do not occupy all the slots until getting it by level-up.
  
• Pick up Empty Tome, Duplicator, Atractorb, Crown and Candelabrador. After obtaining Torrona's Box pick up all other free items left on the stage.
  
• Pick up Metaglios and be ready to evolve Laurel into Crimson Shroud on min 10.

Game lag
I went to sleep at 3:03 while ingame timer was "400" and returned at 9:30 ("763" ingame timer).
387 real-time minutes = 363 ingame minutes, which means I had 24 minutes of game lag over this period of time (6.2% time lost).

---

Further optimisations

• It may be better to seal the Vacuum and use Mad Groove instead (more tests needed).
  
• Sealing Rosary is also questionable (more tests needed).

Extra: DLC eggs farming

If you have the Tides of the Foscari DLC, you can easily farm eggs by killing Guardians, endlessly spawning on the Abyss Foscari stage.
If having troubles with unlocking Abyss Foscari, check out my other guide:

At the Abyss Foscari travel south through the gates, then go west all the way, then follow the wall north. There would be a fake wall:


Just go inside and follow the path to the Torrona's Box. Guardians will start spawning.
This method could easily earn you ~1.5k eggs per minute.

@rabbit.s [MS-DOS][rus] Thanks for clarifying, I kinda forgot that not all have the DLCs, it was one of the rare cases that I bought all DLCs since I came from Mobile, so I kinda thought Sammy was part of the main game so as Trousers.

@IbnBattuta
Sammy was obviously better than Trouser even before lag fix

@IbnBattuta
That's exactly what I mentioned at the beginning of this guide:
"I'm focusing on the main game content only (no DLCs). If you have the Tides of the Foscari DLC, you can farm with Sammy, use Ophion, etc, or just farm eggs on the Abyss Foscari stage (see "Extra" section below)."
There is a link to my Sammy guide also.

Like ain't this guide a bit outdated?

We used to farm with trousers due to the issues with Sammy and it breaking our fps but since the fix, there is no need to use trousers at all.

Just use Sammy, pick arcane for gold, farm as much as you can then go to Yellow Merchant and buy max eggs, leave the game, and repeat, and in like 30 minutes or an hour max, you've a Sammy that can generate you 20 billions in 2 minutes.

Scientist in the new DLC is also pretty good because it can get +5% greed per level

@XCYST The Great Turbini Returns
There is an option to purchase in the powerups tab called Seal, which allows you to go to the collection screen and "seal" a weapon or passive item, preventing it from showing up during your runs.

[XCYST The Great Turbini Returns]

Sorry, only doubt I have is when you say sealing this or sealing that. What do you mean by sealing a passive or a weapon?

@Gendor Skraivok
According to my experience, Gorgeous Moon adds too much lag to the game, but maybe the devs have made some performance optimisations since I tested it

[Gendor Skraivok]

I am a little old school still and don't keep track of all the things, but why not Gorgeous Moon? The drop in EXP getting Pentagram can be a slow roller, but given how Moon grants extra EXP it could make up for it to level up. Especially if you get Super Candy Box 2 Turbo skipping pentagram entirely.
