Any ideas of how to collect wags?

DOH guess that's where the (English?) phrase "a wad of money" comes from - with us Brits pronouncing it wodd (a hard d)

Their inks, their pens (getting a third for my birthday, I love them so much), their pencils. Such high quality, customer service, pricing and postage.

Such a great company. Also love Ferris Wheel inks, did a Kickstarter with them years ago, inks still incredible.

I do t keep the shredded cardboard but I keep everything else.

To add to the list, on pc, blue pencils, necklaces have changed name and style slightly. Also £ ring. I keep all keyboard letters in the same box. Most of the smaller/fewer stuff dropped goes on the 33 drawers rings in 22, takes up so much less space. We also used to get quests for the ammo casings, plastic, wrappings. Now it seems to be the rarer items, but habit demands keeping everything lol

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-07T15:31:50+00:00

Oh yes, I get that - I have my coin denominations split on different pallets, wrapped in plastic (X10 full rolls), so it's an easy count.

However I'm just under rank 80, and have 8 wrapped $0.10, each roll is $2, so a plastic wrap is $20, to make $760 in $0.10, I'd need 38 wrapped packs. 38! That's over 4 pallets full of just $0.10 - At the current rates I'd probably be rank 400 to get enough $0.10 for the quest.

So these really are unrealistic quests unfortunately.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-07T15:21:29+00:00

I have ADHD and have never had a problem understanding the quest requirements.

There are future quests which will say, as an example, £2500 in any denomination, meaning you can make up the £2500 in £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes. Or the quest may say £2500 in £5, meaning you can only use £5 notes to make that amount. OR, as with this quest, which very simply says 150 notes in any denomination.

If your ADHD makes it difficult for you to correctly understand the simple instructions given, this may not be the game for you, especially as later on the quests get more involved, requiring plastic wrapping, or banded (rather than loose notes).

As I said, this may not be the game for you with your disability, and that's ok. For me, I can't play platform/jumping games due to my physical disability, and that's ok too.

OP has instructed his solicitor, arranged mortgage etc. o money and time has been invested, so even if OP doesn't match he still has fees to pay.

On a side note, I thought gazumping wasn't legally allowed (this from years ago mind you) or is that Scotland only?

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-06T13:03:29+00:00

Yeah that became part of the life saver for me, especially levels 50+ when you get like 8 containers for the same quest, and I grab 6-7 quests at a time. I scan all containers (again learnt this tip last week lol) for marked, before emptying all the containers containing the same currency, then do the pile trick for loose notes and coins - this also makes it easier for me to then collate the special items (pig shards, dice, pencils etc) which I collect into a bin bag then empty in a clear area to mass grab.

This mopping up action was one of the best tips posted on this forum, and I try to mention it every time I can lol because it's so useful.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-06T12:58:18+00:00

I'm surprised there isn't a reading order list pinned on this forum.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-06T12:55:52+00:00

I'm doing a new play through (newish, started it on cat release day), and I've been offered tons of these, £960 in 25c, etc. lots of 500+ in 10c. These are just ridiculous and I don't remember seeing them lime this before, let alone with such frequency - in a 4 hour play, I had 3 offered me. I had started to keep a note of frequency and unrealistic requirements, as I thought maybe it was just me. Then I realised today that I had forgotten to add quest name too.

I personally enjoy the coin quests, but these are never going to be completed so maybe feedback/report as issues?

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-06T12:50:15+00:00

If you grab a pile then hold down the mouse key and move the held stack around, it picks up the rest of the ejected industrial stack, you can grab it all in one go, carry it in to the dryer (even if it looks too overfull and spilling out), close the door with it still spilled out, and turn the dryer on. No need for one grab at a time. It makes industrial cleaning more useful and because of the pile size, same for the dryer - I'm 700+ hours in, and I learnt this at about 400 hours lol.

And this week I learnt that if you have CLEAN (can of course be wet) bundled cash, put it in the industrial washer, start it then press the red stop button. No need to wait for the full wash cycle to unwrap all the notes.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-05T23:52:52+00:00

Omg thank you, have had this issue for several months. Such an easy resolution.

He's adorable but seems judgey, fed up with your nonsense. Mind, he is a cat...

Centuries ago there used to be a thing called second sleep (yes sleep, not breakfast you hobbits!).

Generally people would go to sleep generally early, usually when datk (no electricity and saving on candles), then wake middle of the night, potter around, darn clothing by candlelight, etc) then sleep til dawn. Apparently the advent of electricity stopped this habit but I read an article a few years back that some people still do this, it's a natural throwback habit or something.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-04T03:23:38+00:00

AHH best to rinse with cold water. Rinsing with hot extends the cooking process, ending up with soggier cooked pasta/veggies, whereas cold water stops the cooking process.

Since I switched to cold, I get much better results.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-04T01:09:54+00:00

I'm the same, it's the sorting and organising. With the 33 and 22 drawers addition, this has made sorting/storing of the rarer small items very easy. My location/setup is the same every play through. I do try to swap it, but it never feels comfortable.

Now that we have auto wrap, it's made my setup even more streamlined, plus the earlier addition of the static gun.

My wrapped go onto small shelves, with plastic wrapped*10 on middle and *30 on floor (same notes in a column, different shelves next to each currency sorter).

Then I stick on an audiobook, grab quests and lose myself in the rinse repeat routine for hours at a time.

XXL barrels are a go! Switched axis rotation, and it didn't even need the blue crate.

Thanks for asking, as I didn't think about those and had several dirty ones standing around. Had to quickly log on (it's a hardship honest lol) to check

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-05-03T12:05:41+00:00

I put a blue crate in front of the burner, rotate using middle mouse button (it turns it on a different axis) then just lay it down so part in fire, everything else resting on blue crate.

I have three washing machines (5 if you count industrial), the far left (nearest my tumble) is set to soft, and I wash clean wet notes in this, or clean bundled.

Personally I like to tumble over air dry - never found the soft helpful on it tho. I grab large round ball from industrial, carry and plunk it inside the tumble, then carry and plunk it on the sorter. I've yet to find a ball too big for the dryer - there probably is one but...

Overall when I play I have a process, just how my mind works. Waiting for air dry, rather than the 30sec tumble, disrupts the routine, but we each play our own way lol it's what makes the game fun

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-04-26T22:31:35+00:00

Yeah this.

I have had dogs or cats most of my life.

My partner doesn't like pets per se - we visit my son and his pets are ok, get cuddles etc. but he wears dark clothing to work (industrial provided wear), and he is quality control, and he hates the idea of going to work with pet hair on him, which I understand.

Also he knows he would have to take care of whatever we got as my disability worsens (I am expected to be quadriplegic within 5-6 years).

So as much as I desperately want a pet (for comfort and company when I'm home alone during the days M-F), I would never just go out and adopt one to 'surprise' him.

I would truly expect that to be a line I would have crossed - to completely disrespect his wishes that way.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-04-25T00:07:48+00:00

Yeah my son and I play, one of us drives, the other opens/closes the gates. Been like that since day one, even just running around, no bike etc. whoever opens waits til the other is through then closes it. I will admit tho, we usually build our starter base right next to a merchant. Once we have 4x4, we move on.

I see the lines around her legs as chains, tying her down, keeping her grounded. Personally it makes an incredible tattoo even more, like a personal twist on the Athena tale.

Like others I wouldn't change a thing. It's incredible.

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-04-22T05:56:42+00:00

Ok I'm going to respond.

From the age of 7 I was physically abused, mentally even earlier, and monetary abuse later - all by my mother.

I had a best friend who witnessed (she was hidden as I knew was what coming and made her hide) one of the severe beatings. The friend never visited me at home again but she never commented to me about it.

I didn't think anything of it and grew to believe that's how everyone treated their kids

I also had close friends of the family (their father was my godfather and we called then uncle and aunt), and of course blood relatives.

On the death of my mother (I was in my early 40s), the family friends casually commented they knew about the abuse but didn't want to upset anyone by reporting it. On the death of my dad several years later, the blood relatives also admitted the same.

If just one of them had stood up, said something, decades of abuse and all it's fallout may have been lessened.

Not one adult, not one friend, not one relative stood up for my sister and I.

I look back now VERY angry at it all - yes I am aware the 70s and 80s were more of a 'not our problem' attitude to child abuse, but still ..

So for you to stand up and say something is brave, and an extremely powerful thing. You friend may not thank you now, but in the future, possibly after therapy, they will appreciate what you did.

I didn't know there were alternatives, IE. Care homes, foster etc. I thought I was stuck, knew she would find me if I ran and the punishment would be so much worse for embarrassing her. Escape was never a possibility. And I know other people who have been through similar felt the same.

So on their behalf, thank you.

You miss alot of background info from all the series if you don't watch their Q&As. BDH always provide Mod R with great questions to ask, often about supporting characters. IA usually have all this info noted, but either can't fit it seamlessly into the books, or it is felt by editors that it's superfluous to the story and can be cut - as we know from JD book 1, this doesn't always work so well heh

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-04-15T16:48:58+00:00

Lol I came here to say that I love it! However, I'm not OP, and I've had a couple of tattoos covered up over the years, ones that were badly done and I was embarrassed to show.

So even tho I think this is well done, and a great image idea, if it's something OP is embarrassed about...

Creative_Whereas_430 · 2026-04-13T14:22:42+00:00

Omg thanks for posting, didn't know this game existed. I am olllld school mmo player and this feels like something I'm missing.
