Tutorial:Ultimate Guide


 * See Forum Post: How to go from early game to absolute endgame - The Ultimate Guide

Early Game

 * 1) Leave your island. You can do /hub (or alternatively bridge over).
 * 2) Buy a Promising Pickaxe, Rookie Hoe and Golden Axe. You can get the Promising Pickaxe from the Mine Merchant, the Rookie Hoe from the Farm Merchant, and the Golden Axe by crafting 2 sticks and 3 gold from the Mine Merchant.
 * 3) Level up (Mining sand instantly in the mushroom dessert),  (Farming wheat in the Hub),  (Breaking trees in The Park) skills and collections to get to skyblock level 7 and to unlock multiple important areas.
 * 4) NPC Flip. (Buy Items from NPCs and sell the to the Bazaar). Most people do Packed Ice and Sand.
 * 5) With the profit you have earned, construct a cobblestone generator and get an efficiency 5 golden pickaxes and haste 3 potions with enchanted Redstone. Mining 100,000 cobblestone will award you with all rarities of rock pet. The pets(legendary in particular) will give you a massive sum of coins(13m). it might seem like a daunting task, but the profits are worth it for the ~3 hours you're going to spend.
 * 6) One of the best armor sets for early game is Mushroom Armor, as it gives tripled stats at night.
 * 7) Most events in the calender are extremely good money making methods as they require almost no money to participate in. Some events you can do in the early game to mid game are Diana's Mythological Ritual event (Buy ancestral spade and griffin pet from Diana when she's mayor) and the Spooky Festival, which occurs Autumn 29 - 31, in game time.
 * 8) Get some minion slots (Craft more unique minions). You should have at least 7 minion slots.
 * 9) Place some Redstone Minions, since the Talisman Bag upgrades are going to be really important.
 * 10) Work on some easy talismans (Buy the ones from the Adventurer)
 * 11) Events are extremely good for moneymaking in the early game as they require little to no money to participate in.
 * 12) You can do Diana's Mythological Ritual event, which occurs when she's elected as mayor. Buy a Common Griffin Pet and Ancestral Spade from her for 40k total and start looking for Griffin Burrows. Griffin Feathers go for around 50k on Bazaar, which is very good as they are an almost guarenteed drop.
 * 13) The Spooky Festival is also very good for money making. In the night of Autumn 29 - 31, go to the Graveyard and kill as many spooky mobs as possible. During the day, kill either zombies in the graveyard or spiders in the Spider's Den for more drops.
 * 14) Do the Season of Jerry event (you can get up to by selling Gifts from the Defend Jerry's Workshop event) Make sure to kill as many mobs as possible to earn the most money.
 * 15) Get a Raider Axe for the Joyful Viking. This is really good for early game because then foraging will actually have a purpose.
 * 16) Get skill to level 12 by killing Crypt Ghouls in the Hub Crypts. The Crypts are located in a cave near the void and the Forest. Note that you should put all of your Coins in the bank, so that you don't lose them when you die to the Crypt Ghouls.
 * 17) Now buy Glacite Armor reforged to Fierce. Make sure you get the Glacite Armor with and . If you cannot get  yet, you have to buy some Grand Experience Bottles from the Bazaar, then enchant some items with an Enchantment Table.
 * 18) Get an Aspect of the End, this is the most versatile thing you can have in the game. You would need this even in end game. If you want, you can grind for it but it is also pretty cheap on the AH.
 * 19) Eat your Free Booster Cookie, which you can get by talking to Elizabeth in the City Hall.
 * 20) Go to the End, Talk to the Lone Adventurer, and buy a Void Sword for 200k. After purchasing, grind in the end using your AOTE or Raider's Axe. Next you should kill the Endermen on the top level of the End to get a full set of Ender Armor and an Ender Necklace.
 * 21) Go to the Hub and reforge your Void Sword to Sharp. After doing so, go to your island and enchant it to Sharp 5, and all the other enchantments you have unlocked.
 * 22) Return to the end with your Ender Armor equipped.
 * 23) Grind The watchers using your new Void Sword which you can find in the Dragon's Nest. While you are there, if anyone spawns a dragon, it won't hurt to get some dragon fragments to sell on the Bazaar. After killing enough Watchers, you will have an Ender Cloak.
 * 24) After getting the Cloak, Equip it and start killing the Obsidian Defenders that are found all around the Dragon's Nest. Eventually, you will get an Ender Belt. Now, you equip it, and can start End Node Farming.
 * 25) Return to the main End Island and mine all the shiny Ender Nodes you see. They can be made of End Stone and Obsidian, until you get an Ender Gauntlet. Equip the gauntlet when you get it.
 * 26) After getting all the pieces, go to the entrance of the Dragon's Nest, and talk to the Lone Adventurer. The Lone Adventurer is now wearing Superior Dragon Armor. Talk to them, and eventually they will say that they will talk to their friend, the "Pearl Dealer", and will get him to give you a Dragon Shortbow. Talk to the Pearl Dealer, and he will give you the Dragon Shortbow.
 * 27) Get as many Fairy Souls as possible. NotEnoughUpdates has a Fairy soul waypoints mod which you can activate in the /neu menu. Note: Some Fairy Souls require Ender Pearls/Aspect of the End to reach.
 * 28) is another way to make easy money. Pumpkins are good for Farming XP, and Sugarcane is good for money. A Rabbit or Elephant pet is both good for farming, but be sure to have at least rare on it.

Mid Game

 * 1) Start to AH flip or Bazaar flip if you haven't started already. This will increase the number of coins in your bank account, and will be used to obtain better gear later.
 * 2) Grind upper-level Endermen until you are at least 18. Now grab an Aspect of the Dragons reforged to spicy. (Alternatively, you could get a Warped Aspect of the End without Combat 18, if you have the money to buy it. However, if you do choose to do this, your critical chance will be slightly lower.)
 * 3) Do some Zealot Grinding. (Unless you can't one shot zealots yet in which case use Potions to increase Strength and Critical Chance, or get more talismans or use a talisman optimizer)
 * 4) Get Young Dragon Armor with Farmer Boots or Rancher's Boots. Alternatively, if you are planning to use a God Potion, get a full young dragon set, as the cap will be increased by 100.
 * 5) Sell Summoning Eyes that you obtained from Zealot Grinding
 * 6) A griffin pet works extremely well for stats; the uncommon and above versions grants strength and regeneration effects, both of which are extremely useful. They are only about on the Auction House, make sure it is Uncommon rarity.
 * 7) A Flower of Truth is one of the best weapons for mid game as it has no skill requirement (unlike the Livid Dagger). However, with a recent update there is now a Cata Floor VI requirement to use it. Although being less expensive at around 1m, it still does nearly the same amount of damage as any other mid game weapon. If you have not completed Floor VI, a Livid Dagger is the next best choice, with great damage and 100% Crit Chance. However, a clean one costs around 7mil, so it is an investment, but is definitely worth it.
 * 8) Upgrade your armor as well, to either superior, which is quite expensive, or 3/4 Shadow Assasin with a Zombie Knight Chestplate, all reforged to fierce. If you can't afford these sets yet, you should save up money from events, flipping or grinding as they will last throughout mid-game and into early late game.
 * 9) Focus on more talismans and minions for some passive money income (at least 25% talisman completion and 12 minion slots). ThirtyVirus has a tutorial on talismans. You can complete half of the tutorial. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV8vo68Y2VI. For minion slots, you can craft as many minions to Tier 5, or alternatively get the Minion Slots upgrade from Elizabeth,
 * 10) Use a Minion Spreadsheet to find a minion that consistently makes a good amount of money. Alternatively, continue using collection minions to get more upgrades and recipes. Snow Minions and Clay Minions are commonly used, as they make a decent amount of money.
 * 11) Start doing Slayer Quests. Maddox the Slayer is underneath the Bar.
 * 12) Having at least half of the Fairy Souls is recommended, but not required..
 * 13) And maybe get some Crimson Armor for the Crimson Isle.

Now that you have killed some Dragons and gotten level 3 - 4 on all slayers you are:

Late Game
Now this is going to be a lot of money grinding
 * 1) Grind tens of million using any method. Make sure that you like your money-making method, so you will be more motivated to do it, and therefore make more money. Most people choose to Auction Flip, Bazaar Flip, or grind Zealots.
 * 2) Get better Pets, such as Blue Whale, Baby Yeti, Sheep, and Tiger.
 * 3) Do Dungeons (a lot). Do Dungeons until you complete Floor 5.
 * 4) Get Frozen Blaze, Necron's Armor and Livid Dagger. For Frozen Blaze, you need a Blaze Pet.
 * 5) Get Wolf Slayer 6 and Mana Flux Power Orb or preferably better version.
 * 6) Minimally 50% talisman completion, consider using Recombobulator on the legendaries.
 * 7) Get your Slayer levels higher (level 5 - 6 on all slayers exept voidgloom, get voidgloom to 3-4).
 * 8) Your skill average level should be at least 25 at this point.
 * 9) Maybe focus on the Crimson Isle a little more. It will be useful later.

End Game

 * 1) Max collections one by one using collection minions.
 * 2) Get any of the Wither Armor variants. It might be tempting to get these earlier but it's not worthwhile.
 * 3) Get any of the Necron's Blade variants.
 * 4) Get all Slayers to level 8 or 9. Zombie Slayer level 8's perk is actually really good, so it might be worth getting earlier.
 * 5) Do any of the methods you have found to get more money on the last few things you are missing.
 * 6) Now that you have done some Crimson Isle stuff to ready up, now you can go full tryhard and fish, do daily quests. And get your well deserved break. Then now you are in the:

Absolute End Game

 * 1) Get everything in the game.
 * 2) Do everything in the game.
 * 3) Grab an Emerald Blade.
 * 4) Grab all the pets.
 * 5) Max everything out.
 * 6) Flex with your millions of damage.

Nice, now you know what to do

Final Tips

 * With every new Dungeon Floor added, the Skill will become easier to level up. Because of this, it is not recommended to grind Dungeons too much and focus on other things too.
 * Most importantly, these are not rules for how to play the game, simply a very efficient means of getting to End Game. The main purpose of video games is having fun, and if building your island or experimenting with overpriced Items is something you enjoy, don't stop yourself from doing it just because others don't. Don't let people bully you because your Skill Average is low or because your networth is 1/2 of theirs, people who take the game too seriously are the last people you should be getting advice from.
 * As time goes on, many of these steps will become outdated, until another hero comes and update this guide
