What is the best gold source and why?

[full horizon]

I’m a f2p player

[bitter olive]

fairy gold is consistent, go for it

don't care about ads; it makes no difference

[full horizon]

Aight, thanks fam

[normal wedge]

There isn't really a best gold source, but Fairy Gold or Heart of Gold tend to be favored since they're the easiest to use

[full horizon]

Aighttt

I kinda think the armor with Hand of Midas gold bonus is the best as you don't need to physically tap fairies nor Pet Gold to get gold. But it's very niche.

[bitter olive]

Only useful for multiple titan gold chesterson. Others receive a reduction of 0.6.

[hallow quail]

I only see minimal difference (x100) between this one and a a Chesterton gold armor. The main advantage is that it gives a continous flow of gold in AFK builds, if you have the auto increase active if gives smooth AFK runs. But once again very niche

I use the armor with Fairy Gold bonus in my active build, especially interesting if you want to push and have 6/7 fairies on screen.

[bitter olive]

for chesterson, sometimes you have to leave boss to farm gold

[deep quartz]

Hand of Midas armor has a SIGNIFICANT reduction for Fairy and Heart of Gold sources. With an armor with e100 on it, Fairy and HoG only get e60 gold from it. It is significant

[hallow quail]

I never said otherwise

[deep quartz]

And Chesterton, All, and Jackpot armors will get you literally the same effect, without sandbagging Fairy gold

The only gold source that should ever be using the Hand of Midas armor is Chesterton gold source

[hallow quail]

That's what I use in my AFK build

[deep quartz]

If you want an afk gold build, just switch to Chesterton gold source

Then you can use the Hand of Midas, Chesterton, Jackpot, or All gold armors. They would all be pretty much synonymous for Chesterton

Also, not sure why you have a distinct “afk” build and “active” build. How often do you switch between them? Most players just play actively when they want to, and SM when they don’t

Only reason I ask is because the difference between an “afk” and “active” build really isn’t that big until you get around 5000+ SP

[fast scaffold]

U can play completely afk? Damn bro

[deep quartz]

SC is the main “afk” build

[hallow quail]

Mmmh I have to check, indeed. I might just have sticked to it because it was more consistent than having to click the fairies

[fast scaffold]

Its semi afk, u still need to check and activate skills

[deep quartz]

I’m aware. Hence the “”

[fast scaffold]

Afk is for me u dont have to do anything

[hallow quail]

BTW I am at 10k SP

[deep quartz]

Oh well, in that case, the only real big skills that reduce your builds effectiveness are the Contract skills. You lose about e35 by dropping those. PE and ASh are about e10 each

I just checked those numbers myself last week

But yeah, if Chesterton is your gold source, you could just use All, Jackpot, or that Hand of Midas armor for more consistency. That basically just helps you out a bit more since you’d be a bit less reliant on Chesterton uptime

[hallow quail]

Only farming during event with 99 prestiges. But yeah big loss of power with SC full AFK compared to Pets

[deep quartz]

I say only a bit because you still may not even see meaningful amounts of gold with Chesterton build unless you have Chesterton up

You should also try to get Multispawn, Chesterton, and Jackpot % chances secondaries on your equipment for the best consistency

[hallow quail]

That's the main issue if you don't meet a Chesterton towards the end of the run

Quid about the Multiple Gold armor

Had same issue than with Chesterton

[deep quartz]

That one is also OK. Chesterton also relies on Multispawn, so that’s pretty much equivalent to a Chesterton armor

You need Chesterton, Multispawn, and Jackpot to happen as consistently as possible to keep the flow of your run steady

[hallow quail]

I felt Hand of Midas was more smooth because it also gives gold on Bosses

[deep quartz]

Having Boss gold with a Chesterton build is useless

Bosses themselves give almost no gold whatsoever

They don’t Multispawn, or give Chesterton gold

Thats why the gold pot when on a boss still shows the boss icon even when Chesterton is active

[hallow quail]

Well then I will go back to Multiple Gold maybe it was only because the secondaries were a bit better

[deep quartz]

For Armor, you ideally want Chesterton and Jackpot chance

And also, even more optimally, Multispawn chance on your slash

All three probabilities max out at 80% for their ability to proc, but Chesterton and Jackpot especially are fairly low % without the secondaries

I’m also at 10k SP, and my Jackpot and Chesterton % are 20%-25% without secondaries, whereas my Multispawn % is at 62%

[bitter olive]

do you know how multiple titan chance is averaged into gold sources?

above 80%

[deep quartz]

The same way any source is averaged using a %. If you have 150% chance, you get 150% of your Multiple Titan Gold.

That being said, Multiple Titan Gold will only average in for Porter, MiR, and Clan Crate
