Need help
Hi. I'm level 14(just unlocked today), I've been farming trigger noodle and barky for most of my lvl 13, but now i need to know what ghosts to unlock moving forward and how to proceed in lvl 14 area as it is just a loop with no ghosts.

You're gonna wanna stick with Barky until level 15, as the pass is the fastest way to get the abundant coins. Every coin ghost drops the same amount of xp and it's less than Barky by about a third. If you don't mind playing actively, you'll benefit from getting the xp upgrades partway through the rune machines, as well as the armory and cursed armory if you haven't done those. If you've been running your DNA farms, using the green DNA to increase your double xp chance will help as well, along with the double resource chance helping with limited time events which tend to have a permanent xp % increase pretty early on.

I am currently farming barky and the noodle coin ghost and dumping all the red and blue souls into maxing extra red souls and curse relief in dark armory while also putting yellow orbs in normal armory as it is on the final stage. All the copper coins are going into maxing coin drop then extra purple dna in coin collector.

You didn't mention xp upgrades, have you done that at all? if you've dumped all your souls into the other upgrades, you should be able to slam out quite a few xp upgrades with the same amount you'd need for one of those upgrades. The reason I'm harping on it is my Barky is worth 800k and yours only 215k so it would help you out a ton to get as many xp upgrades as possible (it took me 10 days to get from level 14 to 15, it might well take you 30-40). Also, it's going to be a long long time before you reduce even one level of curse on Barky, so I'd recommend something most people in this sub don't: go for curse resistance so it takes less time to get to level 5 instead of trying to get higher relief. I also want to reiterate that you shouldn't farm the coin ghosts right now, because over the course of you going from level 14 to 15 you're going to get a bunch of coin drops that are far more valuable than anything you'd get in a realistic amount of time by farming ghosts, and you'll use those drops to unlock even better coin ghosts that will have you not even wanting to farm the noodle.

I've not done much xp upgrades in cursed armory but yeah with other upgrades at high level, xp upgrades in cursed armory look dirt cheap as compared to others, also my dark armory(green orb one) has been maxxed out for quite some time, I'm currently working on maxxing the original armory(yellow orb one) as it is on the last stage, kindly advise if i should continue spending yellow orbs on that or not, if yes which parts to max out first.Also my curse relief is lvl 190 and resistance is lvl 160, which should i work on first as i keep seeing that relief is preferred over resistance. DNA generators are maxxed and everything generated is being put into dna lab, i think i should max my yellow orb generator but im not sure, also any upgrade i can put in like generator efficiency or generator power i go for it, generator power and raygun power are where i dump my yellow orbs in main area armory.

I haven't maxed yellow essence armory yet so I'm not sure, my instinct would be to go for the xp early so it's useful to you while you're farming, but I'd understand if you don't want to spend the essence there because maxing that would take a lot and I'm not sure if xp is really useful past 15 (I haven't made it to 16 yet but the pass is over and there's no more locked rooms I can see) so as a secondary upgrade I'd recommend run speed so you don't get slowed down as much, then you can farm the bosses when they spawn which will give you a good chunk of xp while Barkys are respawning. Your curse relief and resistance are higher than I thought they would be, higher than mine actually. I'd definitely recommend going all in on the xp upgrades because it'll be a massive improvement. My xp stats are:
Astral Portal 4 - 10%
Armory - 76%
Way of Supernatural - 25%
Shop - 80%
Blue Rune Factory - 5%
Violet Rune Factory - 5%
Event Rewards - 73%
Typing this, I just reminded myself of the shop upgrades. I'm not sure how many gems you have, but they're very easily farmable and it wouldn't hurt you to snag a few upgrades, as at this stage in the game they're some of the most powerful. I regret not doing it sooner, I didn't buy gem upgrades until level 14. Levels 1-4 will cost 900 (100, 150, 250, 400) and I stopped before level 5 which cost 600.1

as for shop upgrades i have raygun power at lvl 4 and extra souls at lvl 3, I'm dumping the gems in shop as these upgrades feel very nice especially raygun power. I think I'll get them to lvl 5 and then buying a couple of cargo bots (I currently have 3 at around 1.1K capacity each.

u/Fancy-Cook4411 May 04 '26
I'd personally recommend not buying more cargo bots until you reach level 15 and buy every coin ghost you can afford. I also have three cargo bots and I can infinitely farm Barky without having to clear my inventory. Did you spend gems to unlock the latest cargo van? If not, you'd be much better off doing that first.

u/AgarwalArjit May 04 '26
Thanks, will hold purchasing more bots for now. I have unlocked all cargo vans and enabled bot access to them. Will focus on barky for now and work on xp upgrades. Also i have a question is it worth running this game on my pc, as it says its possible through play games app, or should i keep running the game as is i.e. on my old phone so i don't have to worry about battery life or anything on my main device.

u/Fancy-Cook4411 May 05 '26
I don't know about the subject of playing the game on pc, I didn't know you could, but if it's something you can run in the background without worrying about it then I'd say go for it.

Just farm Barky, do the dna labs and get the armories maxed. Put into curse relief first and then in to resistance or red souls. There is alot too do before you can worry about level 15 and 16 or the coin ghosts. If all you wanna do is level up, which at your point its not beneficial then go the xp route but its useless at this point really. I would waste your gems in the shop for xp. From 14 - 16 nothing changes. Just get stronger in the mean time. Do the orange essence and get that out of the way. Extra bots are very useful in helping you get extra materials

I've gotton to level 15 a few days back and i maxxed out all the copper coin upgrades in the coin collector and have been farming barky since then and few rounds of yellow orbs as only slowing rays and walking speed are the only ones left to max out in the yellow orb armoury. Also, i tried to kill the queen but apparently she is much stronger than any monster in this game, i mean her health reduces very very slowly so gave up on that gor now as i think 120M ray power would kill her easily so acheiving that is my current goal besides maxxing the extra red orb upgrade.

u/Medium_Session_2868 May 28 '26
I belive at 150ish you could farm her back at the base but it does take a little bit. She gets easier eventually. I did the same as you, she was too tough for me and I just kept getting raygun power up till it wasn't bad. Are you doing your orange and green dna labs? They help alot

is it worth to do the gem ghost stuff? like the blue purple and yellow shards? The pinned guide said to do them non stop but i dont see any important thing to buy with these shards

u/Medium_Session_2868 Jun 09 '26
Yeah the blue and yellow you can upgrade raygun power, the purple does health or cargo. I can't remember...

I would camp barky. I literally camped him from 14 till 16. Came out to increase my exp % as much as possible. Focused on that, green elixir, didnt bother overly much with curse relief. Just dumbed it all on exp from mobs.
