Red Hive Help

[lusty ginkgo]

I'm here to write about my personal advice on Red Hives ( Note that I'm not a pro red hive )

For others :

Red Hives need to be adjusted to your own negative sides and positive sides

An example is the Precise/Spicy/Vector ratio, if you're bad at maintaining Precise Marks along with Precision, run 11, it's a good base and I personally feel 10 is too little. Spicy Bees help a lot with Honey due to Dark Flames, which is why people run more Spicy Bees. Vectors are used for Mark Surge along with Pollen Marks for Mark Coverage on the field. Mark Surge works with Precise Marks so that they'd last longer.

Another thing, the bees that you should NOT have in your hive even if you don't have an alt ( When you're boosting ) are as follows,
Fuzzy, Festive, Puppy and Vicious. These bees do not help when only you run them and are better used for another Precise, Spicy, or Vector.

Honey you make from boosting is heavily dependent on experience and alt accounts, without them, you'll make barely any honey.
You don't need to boost to get experience as you can just pretend to boost while gathering and everything will start to make sense as you play more. There are plenty of Alt Account guides everywhere, just search it up.

For Early Reds :
I don't really encourage this unless you're set on it and won't change.

Gifted Bee Order :
Precise > Spicy > Vector

Precise Marks and the most of the pollen you gather all come from Precise Bees.

Spicy Bees help with convert and up to 8x more pollen from Precise Shots.

Vectors helps you maintain Marks but it is definitely not as important as the other two.

Don't run a Fuzzy, it won't help.

Top players have said many times that your alts, experience, skill, all help more than your beequips and amulets ( even though they help a lot, they aren't the difference between a 100t and a 1qd boost )

Focus on getting alts, nectars, as many buffs as you can, and not to cheapskate out on materials.

Thanks for reading.

random question

why is carp so much better than festive? both have honey marks

esp when you consider festive wreath

[lusty ginkgo]

You should use Festive only on your alts, a mythic bee would be better in place of it

Festive Bee takes a lot longer to spawn ability tokens, Carpenter Bee has Honey Mark+, not Honey Mark like Festive Bee

Another thing is that Festive Bee has a lower chance to generate the Honey Mark, so mainly those are the reasons it's not used
