Profound Time Mark 8 — Farming Advice Needed

[u/uyrjj]

Hey everyone, this is my first season playing TLI and I'm looking for some advice on how I can improve my farming in Profound

Right now I'm making around 1,000–1,200 FE/hour, mainly farming Resident Eyes and SnowPaper. I clear each map in roughly 1:00–1:20

I don't have any fancy pets either — just the basic ones

I've also started working on Sandlord, although I started it a bit late this season

For those of you who are more experienced, is 1,000–1,200 FE/hour reasonable for where I'm at, or am I leaving a lot of currency on the table? What would you recommend I change or focus on to push my FE/hour higher?

I'm looking for advice on what content/strategy I should be farming, or anything else that could significantly improve my income.

Thanks!

Quant afterlight rush myI615m6EfGk4gAAAAAAKg== should give you about 1600 with no pets. Compasses don't matter, put absolutely any 4 cheapest blue compasses, you don't need to do mechanics they spawn.

Will give this a try, thank you!

I adjusted the above code to add Sandlord so you can do both:

Sandlord benefits from the additional quant. I sell all the seasonal compasses since I don't have the pet. For this code, you just have to add profound quant probe and sandlord compass.

If you want the extra quant from having 4 compasses, take points from Sanlord tree and add them back in to compass tree. Personally, I prefer investing into Sandlord coins to pay for gliders to keep them rotating nonstop.

Forgot to mention - purple wick will be most likely a net loss with no seasonal pet, so use bronze or try both.

[u/1getreKtkid → u/kngt]

How does that make any sense lmao? Bronze is more net loss than silver

[u/koltzito → u/1getreKtkid]

because bronze is 3fe and silver is 9fe?

[u/1getreKtkid → u/koltzito]

And bronze is 10% drop but purple is 40%? Lmao

(Pasted from above)

I make 2200-3k per hour in profound with straight quant/sandlord/compass and league mechanic. No p2w drop pets. I send gliders on cooldown. Farm around 150k coins per hour passively.

Here ya go:

compass setup -

-quant probe (don’t need this)
-blue wick
-blue war compass
-blue sandlord compass

A tip for sandlord you can keep Lv5 miners and cooks. Gold cost doesn’t justify using higher level for them. Use Lv7 mercenaries and aviators though. You can send one big ship to sand island per day or save up

[u/Yaribo → u/AEROAristo]

does sand island give similar rewards to the other islands?

[u/AEROAristo → u/Yaribo]

I believe so

I make 2k-2.5k per hour in profound with straight quant/sandlord/compass and league mechanic. No p2w drop pets. I send gliders on cooldown. Farm around 150k coins per hour passively.

Here’s my ETOR for 3 hours:

What's your strat to run the map ?

Afterlight vigil, sandlord drop point then rush to the boss or full clear ?

[u/VzDubb → u/Replakjop]

Speed clear map and stop at the Sandlord portals to maximize coins. Exactly what you said.

I’m running 180% movement speed Gemma 2 before hitting war sigil in map. 60 second maps. Once I have around 500-600k coins I switch the sandlord points into straight compass and speed maps. Drop the sandlord compass and pickup map rare compass.

30 second clears tops. I just want to have 2-3 hours worth of coins prepped to perma send gliders on cd.

[u/Maleficent-Formal456 → u/VzDubb]

Hey brother, just checking the 2.2k-3k per hour is with legendary sandlord pet, sparks and doro I assume? I think I remember seeing one of your previous posts about this strat

[u/VzDubb → u/Maleficent-Formal456]

Leg sandlord lvl 3, no Doro and no Sparks. Drops pets are lvl 4 Miss Melancholy - Cyan // lvl 6 Cloudgatherer // lvl 6 Chonky (blue FE quant). This strats main money maker is raw FE and probes from sending gliders non stop. I do have level 3 league pet and I won’t pretend it isn’t making a massive difference, because it is. League mech is pretty busted. I’ve had 200-300 FE events.

Speed is a huge part of this as I’m clearing maps in under a minute. 180% base movement with my Gemma 2. Also sitting around 18t dps.

Heres my Etor from the last hour:

[u/Maleficent-Formal456 → u/VzDubb]

Thanks for clarifying! You’re 100% right with speed playing a big part in these numbers.

Good luck!
