So, I know that this may be a topic that's already been covered, but I don't think that anyone has gone about covering it this way before. When Tayba, my mother in real life, started gaining gold beetles without paying real-life money for them, I asked her how she was doing it. When she told me, I was shocked at how cheap and easy this way to make money is. Even a new player can easily accomplish getting GB rich if they can use the "Explore" and "Patrol" features in Crossroads.

At first, I didn't understand why this item was so profitable, especially since it's such a common find in Explore, and can also be found in Patrol. So I asked in chat. It turns out that this item gives an experience boost, which makes it a sought after commodity.

What is this Item? And how do you reap its benefits enough to be rolling in Gold Beetles in no time flat? Well, that's what I'm here to tell you. And remember, this is all assuming that you have one King who is already playable.

The item is... (Drumroll, please!)

Broken Drones!

Supplies:
- Your King
- An Adult SubMale
- An Adolescent Male (Adolescents from the Giving Tree work great for this!)
- Some Energy and Replenishing Items
- Lots of Patience
- A few days
For Best And Quickest Results, You Will Also Need A Side Account (Though this isn't, strictly
speaking, necessary. You can do it with one account, it will just take longer)

Procedure:
Finding Your Supply
- First, take your SubMale and an adolescent male, and send them to patrol ten squares in
crossroads.
- Go to explore and pick any green area. What area you're in doesn't matter, as long as you can
find elephant dung.
- Whenever you find elephant dung, make sure to click on "Dig!". You can get all sorts of items
to play with your lion from these piles, such as feathers, but what we're looking for is Broken
Drones.
- Keep exploring and repeat step three until you are out of energy. If you have a Bone Marrow
(Available for 80 Silver Beetles in Monkey Business, located in the Crossroads), remember that
you can eat one per account per day, and they give you +20% energy. If you already have
some GB and you don't mind using a few, there is an item in the Oasis called the "Energy
Boost" that will full your energy up completely.
- Once you run out of energy, go to your Hoard and check how many Broken Drones you have.
The more drones you have, the more GB you stand to earn.
- If you have a second account, repeat all of the above steps. Then you can do one of two
things. First, you can sell on both of your accounts, and, if you're saving GB on one account,
you can transfer the GB from the sales to the account you're saving on. Otherwise, you can
transfer the drones to the account that you're saving on and sell from there. Now comes the
part where you can turn the drones around and make a large profit.

Making A Profit:
- First of all, I would not recommend trying to sell Broken Drones on your branch. If you do
that, you risk cheating yourself out of money. Instead, use the Trading Center to sell your
Broken Drones. I also recommend selling groups of ten (10) Broken Drones. It's easier to
actually see your profit that way, as it's not just a tiny line change.
- Go to the Trading Center. You will see a button that says "Create a Trade". Click it.
- When the page loads, name your trade something along the lines of "Ten Broken Drones"
- Scroll down to the "Items" section. Select ten of your Broken Drones.
- In the payment section, select "Either Or", and price it at two (2) Gold Beetles. Leave the Silver
Beetles slot blank.
- Select "Create Trade" and accept when prompted.
- Wait for someone to accept your trade

Repeat until you have as many Gold Beetles as you need.
