Ch2 Step 65 - Solo Tempoross Pre-Humidify

[fluid badge]

Following the Bruhsailer guide and about to approach the grind to 99 fishing. It mentions an optional detour to grab the fishing barrel from Temporosso via Solo Firefighter method. However, the linked video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg4tNw3ZjeI) utilizes the Humidify spell, which is not available to me at this stage of the guide (locked behind Dream Mentor).

Just would like some clarification: is it still viable to attempt this method with manually filling the buckets instead [and if so, does anything change in terms of pathing]? Or is there an alternative I am not aware of?

[ruby pagoda]

the requirements for humidfy dont seem that high I dont see why you cant just wait for unlock before doing tempoross

not sure on a answer to the question but thats my 2 cents

[subtle hound]

no the method is not viable without humidify

you cast the spell multiple times during a single game

you can still do normal tempoross but firefighter isnt possible

[primal plaza]

It technically works but it's not great, you'll be a lot slower refilling buckets so it'll be less points

[subtle hound]

i mean it works as in you can kill the boss but ur not gonna get much benefit in terms of points and ur tanking ur exp

[feral belfry]

there's a very braindead method there you bring in 7 buckets and keep the energy at 10% or below so no specials happen

[versed viper]

That step is referring to a, worse, low level solo method without humidify

You can do mass, do low level solo, postpone it for humidify, or ignore barrel

Wait, shouldn't that be ch1? Sorry, if it's ch2 are you only missing the magic level?

[pure gorge]

I did some without humidify, went on my main to try it with, then decided that humidify is too good to postpone there

[violet mason]

It's possible to do the firefighter method for just the CA but it's not great without humidify, the other solo methods work

It's chapter 2, section 2, step 65. dream mentor completion is not until step 78

i think my gameplan will be to mix in some chill mass tempoross every now and then to break up the barbarian cut-fish grind. appreciate the responses!

I don't have humidify and get around 11-12 permits per run doing firefighter at about 11-12 minutes per run.
It's marginally better than the 5 permits every 6 minutes I get on the mass worlds

[hexed wasp]

do people not do the 17-19-19-19 method anymore?

only need 5 buckets max and its faster and more permits

[sharp stag]

That's what I did. Ends up being ~55 permits/hr and it's very chill because it is the same every time. Decent fishing xp too.

[hexed wasp]

i usually get like 60 ish an hour yeah, and its very chill

i made a spreadsheet when i started grinding and its actually more xp and permits once you start hitting 3+ hours

[civic mica]

fwiw with humidify you get 80+ doing firefighter

[hexed wasp]

how so? using serj's numbers you get ~63 which is basically the same as 17-19 method but way chiller

actually no its less i had to update my spreadsheet

assuming 9 minute games on 17-19 method and 11.5 minute on firefighter (averaging) you get ~70 with ~70k xp vs 66 and 69k xp on firefighter, obviously not a massive difference but again, way chiller

[civic mica]

if you look at the vid that was linked to start this thread

[hexed wasp]

hes also maxed though with d harpoon

timing are different

unless im missing something which id love to hear, i enjoy efficiency

[civic mica]

don't need 99 fish, not sure how much the d harp does

[primal plaza]

I got around 75/hr with no dharp firefighter

I agree 17-19 is not that bad especially if you value xp
