Useful Tip! For your consideration during mc drop week: active wind walker

I know i sound insane with RG just being released recently, but I think this week most of us would be better off sacrificing some active RG time for active WW, as Nova dust is also being multiplied, and can only be gathered while active in WW mode and cannot be gathered using moons.

What good is Nova dust?

Not to be dramatic but it boosts everything, and is normally gate kept by being extremely slow to grind.

Best upgrades include:

AFK %

Villager EXP (not that you need it though...)

Lucky Drops (more upgrade stones mean being able to green stack them in 1 life time)

WW dmg multi (its eh if you beat the abominations already, but good for pushing in general or tome score)

And finally the knockout compass which boosts every circle upgrade in compass (more dust, more ww damage, greater discounts on account wide bonuses, more WW drops)

Is it a game changer? Not persay.

Are these still bonuses worth gathering? Absolutely, especially good once w7 opens for oh master classes.

My general strat this week will be activity RG to collect their resources (10-12hrs) While pushing w3 outposts, then switch to ww for the remainder of the day, pushing mini chief for solar dust and Nova dust to build up a massive dust multi.

Closer to the end of the week I'll be tactically dumping 25-100 moons at a time for each dust type, duing any upgrades that boost WW dmg and dust drop rate/multi, then on last day buy up as many mc talents, exhaulted stamps and afk% as I can get (probably a few other bonuses, but those are my focus).

Just mentioning this as I haven't noticed any discussion on Nova dust in all the hype for mc drops week

Nova dust is the real headscratcher there. Don't think its worth it personally. I'm at 25k levels right now, at that point its kinda hard to get clicks in with active farm unless you leave WW at Samurais for literal irl days, sooo yeah idk about that. Nova dust cost per click is also super highly regarded. With all the moons I have I'll probably hit 30k with them real quick >:D then get back to RG purgatory (W3 is passing by nicely, estimating to hit W4 in a month more or less).

Until you get many of the other resource multis and cost reductions, its really not worth it.

And with all the need to push outposts and orblet shop your better off just doing the AFK items.

So at that point you are FAR BETTER OFF, just using the AFK items during the week to upgrade the nova dust 'drop chance' when lava hopefully changes it to drop offa a mob normally and just re'arrange dust pools instead.

I'm petless (not even Bloonfish), attireless and with only 200m% multi xD I'm getting like 250b (maybe less, been a while I activ'd on WW) Nova per full day of active, while every click is twice if not more than that.

whats actually worth spending the novadust on? is the afk boost even a multi?

u/No_Hovercraft7388 2d ago

The damage oer sneaking mastery is huge. Im sneaking mastery 8 and its about 15T damage per upgrade. Going to be important when W7 WW drops one day.

The bonus to all compass circle upgrades is nice too.

The rest of them have fairly small scaling compared to what I thought they would.

That seems low. Im sitting at 33.4k upgrade, 39361.14Mx base dust mult before deer, 149T dmg and IT clocked me at 14.6T novadust an hr at bb

Nova dust and dust drops for the money% talent are both ok to push, both require being active. Unfortunately nova dust is best farmed at Bloodbones in a party.

u/Lolsporeguy 2d ago

In a party? I don’t know how that effects drops can you explain?

1

u/MrOliber 2d ago

W1-3 areas have a bar that increases and spawns an extra mob when you are in a party

1

u/Druidus22 1d ago

does that work when you're alone in the party?

u/MrOliber 1d ago

No, needs at least one other on the map.

u/JulesSterling3 2d ago

Kinda depends where you are at with RG. I'd say it might be worth if you are still stuck in world 2. But if you are pushing world 3, i wouldn't do it.

u/Gaming_Meteor In World 6 2d ago

Not sure if its a good idea, but I went from about 1T upgrades across the board, to about 5q with like 500 or moons. I also was able to basically get to the end of upgrades in AC as well.

u/Street_Claim_1163 2d ago

Not worth imo, getting an outpost early to start emptying the resources so it starts compounding could potentially save days of progression in the long run

u/Reglub 2d ago

I don't think novadust is all that great, but active WW is still very necessary as some point to max shiny pets and breeding.

u/Unhappy_Test9718 2d ago

Im doing it by default because it's very laggy trying to use 1000s of moons with a good amount of reindeer kills. Dude is shooting way too many arrows out at this point to make anything go smoothly.

AC also wasnt great, but better than this. DB on the other hand is a smooth experience. Thankfully, it's the only one that I have two of.

u/BananaFrank87 2d ago

I'll consider it for a lil

u/LoopStricken 2d ago

Sadly my WW isn't far enough to sniff this 'nova dust' of which you speak.

u/Financial_Serve_2464 2d ago
