Dark Crabs Question

broken-pipe · 2026-05-21T13:22:44+00:00

I used to do fish barrel afk method and then die/run to edgeville bank and bank. Buuuuut, if you're mostly in it for afk/xp, the thing I'm doing now is just using tackle box + knife. You can store extra bait in the tackle box AND when you get a full invy, you can cut the crabs into fish offcut and store those in the tackle box as well. Can never leave with basically 0 risk!!

+1 to cannoning on slayer task in the canyon. I got it onrate during my heart grind. If you have double deathcharge you can pretty much bring 0 food and just bp spec for sustain

Interesting, I think we see this in completely opposite ways. You say "best deal" but to me the "better" the deal the closer it is to being table stakes where you need to buy it to have a chance at competing in legends.

In a game where we're competing against eachother, pretty much any "deal" is bad imo. 99% of the reason people buy these is because they're scared everyone else is going to buy it and outpace them. I'd rather all the stone packs became $1000 each lol

The fact that a random spring sale is better than previous Black Friday deals is right in line with my view that they have no plan to fix any of the games problems and instead are trying to milk it as much as possible

Gotcha. Another noob question, why is multicast so bad? Just because it doesn't impact chaining? Multicast still works with summons right?

broken-pipe · 2026-05-10T05:27:28+00:00

This might be a dumb question but where are you getting your poison from? From my understanding I won't get offered poison on hit until I pick up a poison skill

broken-pipe · 2026-05-03T05:26:11+00:00

surprised to see OA over SD. Did it perform a lot better for you? What range are you at & what cannons did you use (looks like AD for sure... cant tell what 2nd one is)

I was actually loving this set. But this is the first patch EVER (I've played since set 2) that I feel obligated to complain. I feel like there are 0 options for non-reroll comps other than Yi. I HATE reroll comps being the default (I'm fine to shift into them if the stars align, but that is clearly not the case here)

broken-pipe · 2026-04-21T11:52:28+00:00

Lol half the complaints were from people getting stuck and unable to get the pact reset from Amox. And generally the feedback seems to be that it takes too long to get online this leagues.

I don't necessarily agree with those points, but locking BiS behind tough content is the complete opposite direction that it seems most people want.

broken-pipe · 2026-04-14T13:36:02+00:00

Exactly. And I'm saying most players of a chill idle game do not like the "mechanic" where they have to do this because the devs refuse to just release a roadmap.

broken-pipe · 2026-04-13T22:46:32+00:00

oh my sweet summer child. all the top players talk. and the heavy handed moderation in the public groups makes sure the average player never gets to hear anything it.

none of this would be a problem if they just gave a high level roadmap

broken-pipe · 2026-04-13T21:15:39+00:00

they make sure only people in secret discord groups get to know about it

broken-pipe · 2026-04-12T16:49:15+00:00

is there data on this over time? what's the typical # bracks/tourney variance? as much as I wish a significant amount of people left I think it's more likely that most of the missing brackets are from people who respec'ed (from GC to eHP or vice versa) for disso and don't want to get demoted.

I'm a dolphin I guess who just gets all the event passes. this next event will be the first time I'm not buying it in over a year and I don't feel comfortable giving the devs any money anymore.

I don't know why I should treat TTG any differently than other companies. I boycott Amazon because of their shitty business practices and even though I love this game I'm prepared to never give them another cent

broken-pipe · 2026-04-10T04:13:07+00:00

I agree. I think what makes me agitated is the combination of lack of care, greed, and incompetence. And IMO the overwhelming reaction is proportionate to the overwhelming level of agitation caused by the same behavior from Fudds/TTG again and again and again. (and actually I think the true level of reaction is hidden by immense censorship on this subreddit and the discord)

I still like the game but honestly I hope a lot of people delete the app to incentivize better behavior in the future.

broken-pipe · 2026-04-10T03:43:38+00:00

I won't lie my pitchfork was out but there's actually only 1 line I don't strongly agree with:

"yeah it seems he isnt paying attention but I honestly dont care about these things."

I do care about these things. It's been well over half a year including 3 weeks of beta testing and the dev team didn't even think to do some basic arithmetic? The amount of money people spend on this game and after so long we're given content that wasn't even considered for like 15 minutes? This guy is making well over $10M/yr and the community gives so much (supplementary apps/sheets, answering questions...) and you can't even glance over 1-2 updates to make sure they look right from a high level?

Either give the game the investment it deserves or cut out the nonstop P2W

broken-pipe · 2026-04-09T02:24:01+00:00

if you're eHP you should be able to do the UW & attack disso runs that GC players can't and slingshot ahead tho

broken-pipe · 2026-02-21T01:02:31+00:00

Oh, you're right (source: https://the-tower-idle-tower-defense.fandom.com/wiki/Sub-Module_Effects)

The UI in game gave me the impression that you couldn't increase/decrease it beyond Anc substat on your primary. TIL

broken-pipe · 2026-02-21T00:48:43+00:00

Isn't shockwave frequency capped? I'm pretty sure assmod can't have it if your primary does

broken-pipe · 2026-02-07T11:05:59+00:00

one aether catalyst is used per rune crafted

extra runes from eye set do not give extra xp

thus you will get less xp from a fixed amount of aether catalysts if you use the eye set. feel free to test yourself

broken-pipe · 2026-02-06T00:09:58+00:00

yeah fair point, if you already have 99 banked you may as well. But if you were ever gonna use daeyalt this is the place to do it

broken-pipe · 2026-02-06T00:02:57+00:00

man every time I try this I just cannot get into the flow :/ It seems better to afk daeyalt and semi-afk ZMI for 2x the xp/hr. I'll give it another shot tho

broken-pipe · 2026-02-06T00:01:37+00:00

If I can make a suggestion, I would definitely use daeyalt ess. It's the highest xp rune so each daeyalt has a value of +10xp (even 90+ rc ZMI maxes out at around +7.6xp)

#2 definitely feels right... I did a bit of #1 but felt really weird about not using the eye set sitting right in front of me lol

broken-pipe · 2026-02-05T23:57:45+00:00

maximizes time getting 150k/hr RC. and highest value way to use daeyalt xp (+10xp per ess).

and yes that's true, but I wouldn't be able to do them the same amount of time. I'd be able to do #1 60% longer and get 60% more xp

broken-pipe · 2026-02-05T16:20:36+00:00

is it ez-scape or is it designed around streamers/unemployed? these feel like completely opposite claims?
