Are you looking to line your pockets with those yummy beetles? Would you like some pointers on how to squeeze out every last bug you can? Look no further; this is the guide for you!
Welcome aboard, my friend! Today I am going to be showing you how to collect as many silver and gold beetles as your heart desires! I have plenty of experience in a bunch of different ways that have proven to be worthwhile, and where's the fun in gatekeeping my secrets?
Art Sales!
I have absolutely no talent when it comes to art, but that doesn't mean that you don't! Charge what you feel you deserve for your hard work and let your skill do the talking! This is an easy way to earn big bucks if you even have the smallest bit of talent or creativity :)
Starting at square one: 0 SB and 0 GB
Whether you just started playing or you're starting fresh; these are some good tips on how to earn money without putting anything down at all; no investments in this section at all!
‣ Participate in the events!
I cannot stress this enough; if you want to earn maximum currency, do your best to follow the event! Explore regularly, and make sure to use your event currency to buy the most valuable things! Don't spend your event currency on simple decors that's prices won't increase dramatically. Instead, spend it on high-ticket items such as breeding items and applicators. Because of the high demand for these items, you can ensure that you will get the most bang for your buck! Also, going along with the breeding items and applicators, make sure to hold onto them and sell them a few months after the event is over, to gain the maximum dollar!
‣ Play the games!
Playing certain games, such as slots or Liomemo, either won't give you a prize or prizes that are worth what you spend are hard to come by. Instead, play games like Reptile Roundup, Serengeti Shuffle, and Lioden Trivia! You can either win SB or items that you can sell for SB or even GB! You can only submit score to earn prizes from RR and SS once a day, so only submit a higher score for a good chance at something valuable!
‣ Quests!
You can visit the Snake Questing page in the crossroads menu, and he will give you a quest to complete. You will either need to explore, or hunt certain animals, and return them to him once you obtain them. The quests prove to be difficult to finish at times and at other times, very simple. You will get a day or so to complete it. Once you turn in the quests to the snake, you will receive a decent amount of SB, some experience, and even some impression!
‣ Hunting!
This method of earning fast SB/GB is a very popular one. In fact, many of the wealthy players continue to do this because of how easy it is! First, you must create a hunting party of 5 lionesses. After creating a hunting party, you can go on over to the hunting section in crossroads. Pick some hunting spots, and send out your party! After 30 minutes, you will get a notification that will show you what your lionesses have brought back! You can send a lioness out hunting 10 times per day unless you buy hunts or use a GMO chicken. You can then sell your food publicly in a trade; which takes a bit longer, but may end up giving you more currency, or you can sell it to the monkey business at 3-5 SB per use!
Moving up: 10 GB [You can also do this step with 5 GB!]
Note: you shouldn't give up the above methods once you are at this point! Try to get as much money as possible by continuing to use the methods at square one!
‣ Raffles!
Guess what!? You can start making successful raffles with your nice bit of GB! Always make sure to only end raffles early when you will make a profit! If you end a raffle early that you won't make a profit on, then how will you increase you GB/SB? Usually what I do is make a raffle of 5 or 10 GB, having the tickets for purchase at 50 SB and items worth about that, such as broken drones and coconuts! If you make a raffle with 10 GB, you'll need around 250-275 tickets to end with a profit! Of course, if you have valuable items you'd like to raffle off, go ahead and do so!
‣ The Cub Lottery!
Basically, it's breeding lionesses to studs who have a chance at producing a rare, expensive cub! These studs are generally primals or piebalds (easier passing mutations), lions who have rare markings (and bases!) such as rosettes, and studs with a base compatible with your lionesses to have a chance at passing a combo based cubber! I call it the cub lottery because of how unlikely it is to produce something totally rare and unique, but when you do, it can sell for big bucks! However, I do not recommend using this as the sole thing you do for profit. Obviously, you have to take in consideration of stud fees and nesting costs, and how rare it can be to produce a valuable cub.
‣ A stud to be proud of!
At this point in the game, you'll be looking at your current stud- especially if it is a rolled stud -and be needing to change him up! Of course, you must always keep in mind that buying or breeding a stud tends to be moderately expensive. Also, if your stud is younger than 15, you'll need to pay a 10 GB fee to replace him. Some things to keep in mind whilst looking for a new king are as followed:
» Rare attributes, such as bases, manes, and markings always boost the price and likelihood that someone will stud to your king!
» People will not pay crazy amounts for a plain king!
» Usually, you will need to customize your new heir before kinging, which can get expensive!
You Made it! 50 GB+
Congratulations! You managed to work hard and save up, and now you can move onto the higher risk, higher reward situations!
‣ Stats!
This is a tricky topic, and I've always struggled with the dedication. But, if you have time, dedication, and a heap of GB, you can do this! Start off a couple high stated female cubs! Try to purchase at least 2 with the highest stats that you can afford. You must do cub training daily with them from 5 to 11 months, and get at least 75% training done to gain any stats! After the grow into adols, take them on practice hunts with your hunting party. They only gain 1-2% per hunt, so you must do this often! If you get at least 75% training done, they will gain some stats! When they become adults, make sure to always send them out on hunts! This is crucial to ensure that they will level up faster, gaining the maximum stats possible! When they are ready to breed, always stud them to the highest stated stud that you can afford! When the cubs are born, you can either sell them off for profit or use those higher stated cubs and repeat this process all over again!
‣ Kinging a king with high stats!
This is very time consuming and very expensive! If you want to ensure a high stated monster, you must be willing to spend a high amount of currency for an ultimate profit later. Always make sure to buy the highest stated cub that you can afford! This is very important! Much like training female cubs, your male cubs will start out needing cub training at 5 to 11 months! However, as an adol, your sub males can take him out on practice patrols! Make sure to get at least 75% training done! Throughout his lifetime, make sure he eats only food and play with toys that will give him a chance at stats! Items like those include egg yolks, dry palm leaves, and small turtles! This will ensure the highest stats possible. In most cases, while egg yolks are a great food to be using, it can get very expensive! Once he becomes an adult, make sure to send him on constant patrols, and remember to not king him immediately! If you do so, he cannot patrol anymore, which can earn him some stats. Only king him when you are content with how many stats he has!
‣ Higher risk/reward breeding!
This can be tricky. Basically, what I mean is that, for this strategy, you must spend extra on breeding items such as crunchy worms, lion scrotums, and buffalo scrotums. The lionesses you will breed should be of higher rarities, such as leopons, tigons, double uteruses, dwarves, and simply extremely rare lions. By using some of these items, you will have a chance at replicating the mother, or ensuring her mutation! Note: you cannot use a lion scrotum on a leopon or a tigon! While these breeding methods can get very risky, when you do breed a rare lion, you will be able to sell it for profit!
What are you waiting for? It's time to get those delicious and shiny beetles!!
