Super Easy early-game Microplastic farm. (25-30k ever 5-7mins)

Requremients

SOOOOO! I found a REALLY simple, relatively early game Microplastic farm that can easily net 25-30k each run, with a run taking 5-7 mins.

To start off, there ARE a few requirements.

1). Access to the "Sands Between"

2). Sand Dollar (unlimited amount can be bought from the Lower Crust Stowaway store).

3). Ebb & Flow (Final Skill of the bottom Left skill tree branch)

4). At least 26 Attack.

Optional: Fruit Sticker - Can be bought from the Stowaway store. Increases microplastics by about 15%. A second can be obtained from killing a secret boss.

Optional: Defeat Pagurus - Makes this method a lot less risky or a bit quicker, depending on your route.

Getting There.

Once you have the requirements, head to the 'Central Vista' in the Sands Between.
From here, you're headed West-South-West.


I'm not sure if the area you're looking for has an official name, but I've been calling it the Bobbit Forest. Why? because its absolutely PACKED with Bobbit Woms. Ambush worms that can kill you in 1 hit if you're not quick enough.



You'll know you're in the right place when you see a bunch of towering Aloe looking spikes.


But its these very screaming demons we're after.
Why?
Because each one gives 750 Microplastics each, and there's roughly 30 of them scattered around this relatively small area.

Doing the Deed.

Now, as the Bobbit Forest, from a gameplay stanadpoint, is supposed to be an annoying, trap-filled nightmare filled with jump scares, but with a bit of preparation, it can become a SUPER easy and pretty quick early game farm.

What do you need? Not much, honestly.
First, you need Ebb & Flow, the final skill of the dodge branch in the skill tree. If you need to, you can buy a Shark Egg from the Prawn Shop and Respec, though honestly Ebb & Flow is so good, you should probably have it anyway.

Secondly, you need an attack of at least 26.
Why 26? Because at that's the point at which you can one-shot Bobbit Worms with Ebb & Flow.

Do you see where this is going?

Lastly, you need a Sand Dollar for every run. Why? Because There's no Moon Snail Shell near the forest, so its FAR quicker and more effective to die and respawn.



Once you're in the Bobbit forest, you're looking for the large Xs in the sand. This marks the Bobbit worms. NOTE: There ARE several hidden worms not marked by an X. You can seem them by streams of bubbles escaping from the sand.





From there, all you have to do is approach the worm, dodge and activate Ebb & Flow, which should kill the worm in one hit. There are a few worms with awkward positioning that can make some of the skill hits miss (or just not activate) but only 2-3 of them.

With some practice and memorization of the worm locations, you can EASILY kill all 30 worms in 5 mins, with a +1min to walk to the forsest, it results in about 25k Microplastics a run. Up to 30k If you've got some Fruit Stickers.

obs: the redcup is one of the best early-mid game shells by it self, and you can buff and change shells after to a Heavier one or double use it. with just 6 points in RES you can tank many things.

obs2: running hammer atacks do more damage than normal and are about the same speed. you can also run atack and do a normal 1 atack for good DPS. I rarely use the second normal atack for hammer.

obs3: the buffs is long enough to get hits and get all the umami spent on it leaving room for other adapatations, like bobit and tentacle to stack damage.

In the Grove area there is a moon shell in the main path called OIL DRUM. Near it there is a enemy that drop 750. it have a red cup shell near it that increases the damage , roughly double damage for a good time for only 1 umami , down side is to fat roll but is not a problem.
Get hammer upgrade first.
With 12 atk on the stats (maybe + 1 or 2 fork upgrades), use hammer and two running attack while buffed to kill , or sneak (walk inside the shell) and do 1 full hammer charged attack. Since it is very close to the moon shell it is safer, you can spam other skills and adapatation.
you can make it work with lower atak as well without problem.

i uh also recommend muting sound their screams get annoyinh

[forzmack]

25 attack works if you use fredrick because if he hits the worm once he can finish it off and you should be using fredrick for the money buff anyway

[eumel]

this gets even easier if you found the contact lens stowaway. no more bad surprises from underground! and with fredrick (ghost fish) and a fruit sticker equipped you get around 1000mp per kill. some even give 2000mp. if youre lucky they even rarely drop a sand dollar.
i would recommend going without a scrap hammer. somehow it was easier for me to track them down with ebb and flow this way.

ShockMeowX Ehhhh, Neither of those areas are great for farming.

The second (Old Ocean) you don't even have access to until farther in the game.

How do you find the better fruit sticker? Can’t find any info on it online

[Osamaru]

Northeast, around the chains.
