    Just found your channel, and subbed. A good discussion on the topic of collection. What has become apparent in the last six months or so is just how necessary a high level BG has become. I'd not built one until maybe 4 or 5 months back but with all the fragments required for various things I've now worked mine up from mud to level 91. I did used to pick and choose what to hit with the BG a while ago, but now I just take my chances with the 5 diamond auto collect button. I'm in Tomorrow era and depending on how my BG hits, I'm getting between 1200-1400 FPs daily, which I like to throw into whichever GB I'm working on at the time whilst ticking off RQs to gain extra goodies along the way. I tend to just use the Unbirthday and Riyeh RQs rather than the coin or supply collecting ones. I appreciate you were presenting a video but thought you might use the Unbirthday RQ more whilst cycling your RQs.

      Thanks for the support! I agree with you. With the massive amount of FPs that these newer event building are giving, as well as Tower of Champions, ect. a high Blue Galaxy has become tremendously valuable. You are getting quite a haul daily just from collections - wow! Great work.

    I gave up on motivations. I do a mass self aid. I have 170 a day that the mass self aid is motiving. I added buildings like joyful nutcrackers to get enough mass self aid fragments to add one full mass self aid each day. I pay the 5 diamonds to stop getting all the pop ups after I do the bg collections.

    Nicely done. I'm early in the Blue Galaxy journey so your approach generally confirmed what I had figured out, will have to look at the fragments approach as well. I've been more focused on FPs lately, so an hour or so before my collection time, I typically just review FP in the FOE production overview and use self-aid to motivate any laggards. Have a large collection of self-aid and have buildings that replenish that as well. I've also recently been able to consistently complete L5 on GE, so now able to have full coverage from Forgotten Temples, as it expires, I have another in stock -- that bumps FPs by 20%. Question: Where does the FOE-Info strip on the right come from? Thanks for the video.

    • @BardoFarkins
      @BardoFarkins  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really appreciate you taking time for the video. Sounds like you are doing really great! Yes, that 20% bump to FPs from the Forgotten Temple is quite nice! As for the aiding, that is one reason the Nutcrackers have become so valuable, for the mass self-aid fragments! I really appreciate you subscribing.
      The FOE-Info strip on the right is an extension you can use on Chrome. Here is the link: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/foe-info/clifeblhbipgjjlngahknaagkkikfhmo?pli=1

    So as an experienced player I would only add one technique:
    If you are lucky enough to still have the Spink Recurring Quest(supplies), leave it and Fnord(Coin), as the running quests.
    Once you reach 100 FPs, then collect the completed quest of Coin, and if the Supplies arent ready yet, leave them.
    Abort to the FP Quest, dump the FPs, and get back to coin.
    Likely you'll collect the supplies at least every other time through.
    This maximizes the recurring quests since the FPs will sit until you reach it.

      Thanks so much for watching and making this suggestion. It works tremendously well. I actually do this every day, but for the purposes of trying to keep the video as short as possible, I did not demonstrate this technique. But I agree with you 100% - it works brilliantly! Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate you.

    On the beta server, there are no longer pop-ups when doing collections. There is a bar that shows you have a collection, but it's not the annoying box that you have to close. Really hoping this feature comes to the live servers soon, because it's so much more efficient when doing daily collections.

    • @BardoFarkins
      @BardoFarkins  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'll tell ya. Since doing this video, I have started using the auto-collect for 5 diamonds after collecting my 15 "priority" building with the BG charges. It's worth 5 diamonds to me with all the time I save! But yes, I agree with you, those boxes popping up constantly are so freaking annoying.

  • @ballisonnh
    @ballisonnh 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This is so broken now with event buildings that dump 100fp. Little choice buy to smash the auto collect button after doing the BG collections. Motivating is also broken now with the mass numbers of 2nd tier event buildings. The only way out is to get 10 level 2 nutcrackers and deploy a mass self help every day.

    • @BardoFarkins
      @BardoFarkins  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ever since posting the video, I have actually been collecting with BG manually, then spending the 5 diamonds for auto-collect. Seems to be the way to do it if you are bringing in enough diamonds. Thanks for sharing!

  • @robertstorey9606
    @robertstorey9606 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    always collect daily . sometimes I use BG for certain collections but I prefer a diamond collection so I get about 1k FP's to play with and it saves time . I do think finish special productions with BG are a great way to boost fragments for upgrades etc if you have the time , but I got far too many world for taking time on each collection

      I can imagine with multiple worlds to manage that a "collect all" is a great option for a mere 5 diamonds.
      I have never had more than one city - sometimes my own is a handful in itself, it seems.

  • @Zorrolord

    Honestly seeing you do the recurring "Spend FP" questline during your city collection costs you more than it gives you, specially with your high lvl chateau in the future age where you can just do the unbirthday quest 400 times a day (until u reach 2000 aborted quests). You will gain MUCH MUCH MUCH more goods that way and it is already a perpetual machine at level 100+ so you get equal or more gold and tools back on average. With this i bet you ofc your daily harvest will only take like 5-10 minutes of time but eventually you are gonna miss out on an entire harvest because it becomes too late or too early for you to collect your city meaning you loose out on one ENTIRE collection which weighs 50x more than you doing those 15-20 FP recurring quests daily which again can easily be compensated by the unbirthday. I just spent 3-4 years in the future age so I also kinda know what I am talking about and I even have a lower lvl chateau than you have (sitting at 105 currently).
    I know you collected EXTRA slow here for the sake of the video but in reality it also costs a bit of time to collect manually until you run out of Blue Galaxy charges so best is to look at the buildings you want double production before your harvest is ready then when you harvest your BG make sure to have a building of your choice open to immediatly spend that FP into and collect your chosen buildings ASAP. Then for the rest just press the "collect all" button for 5 diamonds. Yes spending diamonds hurts but this feature is the wrong place to save diamonds from. Again the slower your harvest the more likely it is that eventually you will miss out on a couple of harvests entirely. When you have buildings in your city that actually produce diamonds like your himeji castle or any others you might have in your city that I cannot see in the clutter.

      @BardoFarkins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts. Especially coming from someone who has spent so much time in FE! I'm having a hard time following what you are saying though...You said doing the spend FP questline "costs me more than it gives me". I don't see how that could possibly be the case since I am always going to be dropping those FP on my buildings anyway. I mean, I'm spending the FP regardless - so I might as well take a moment and get the free rewards in the process. It costs me nothing but a little time as I'm collecting.
      Actually, since doing this video, I have started manually collecting just for my Blue Galaxy charges and once I get through those 15, then I spend the 5 diamonds and auto-collect and that is quite awesome! Saves me a ton of time, of course.
      I do take advantage of the RQ's as much as possible and the rewards are tremendous. The whole point of having a high CF, basically.
      But I do get what you are saying about spending so much time on the harvest that it delays the point in time 24 hours later when I collect again. I get that and it's a good point that you are making there.
      Thanks for contributing your thoughts - I love this kind of dialogue! Even if you don't like my clutter! LOL

    • @Zorrolord
      @Zorrolord 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BardoFarkins Haha yeah i love efficiency talks aswell, again i just meant delaying collecting to the point where u might miss a harvest. If you do 5 recurring quests quickly you are ofc correct that it won't hurt to collect some low hanging fruit.
      What I meant is the quest "unbirthday" where you pay 250k gold and 250k tools to get random rewards. You can cancel 5 quests until u face the unbirthday, pay the price, get the reward and skip again. Doing this over and over is basily infinitly doable with high lvl cf since you get more coins and tools back from the random reward than you have spent.
      Ontop of that u get goods, med fp packs and medals. This is what I meant with the perpetual machine as you can keep aborting and paying until you reach 400 cycles (max each day)

  • @MrCam7
    @MrCam7 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Did you have a reason to not open the daily quest chest? I always open mine first thing in the morning so events can auto complete as I collect and spend FPs and collect goods, troops, coins and supplies. Also, speaking of dead time, you didn't collect you traz.
    I did enjoy the video. I even learned a trick about clicking building in FOE helper add-on to open map and highlight which building you want for BG.
    As for your questions at the end, my daily collection in SAT is 2.1k-2.4k plus about 250-300 from BG. I could get a little more from BG but I prioritize titan goods and use 4-5 collections for fragments from Grape stomper, key masters, and chocolateries.

    • @BardoFarkins
      @BardoFarkins  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really appreciate you checking out the video. Wow, you are killing it in SAT! Nice work.
      You asked about my daily quest chest - I went back and looked and it WAS collected at the time of the video. So I'm not sure I understand what you mean - lol.
      Good observation about the Traz. Funny thing is that this morning it was actually not possible to collect it! I had temporarily deleted my only Hover building so that I could place some new military buildings for some extra GbG fighting boost. You can't collect your Traz without any military buildings :( so that was the drawback. Very observant!

  • @ywills7890
    @ywills7890 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for the video and explaining what you do. I didn't even realise that collection icon was an option to collect all for 5 diamonds!
    I don't have the Blue Galaxy yet but it's next on my list. I do have enough Nutcrackers for a mass aid kit each day which is very convenient. I also only have around 1k-2k FPs in the bank (Arc only recently hit lvl 80). Would have been good to see a different example other than loading all FPs on your AO. For example, if you are managing GBs that take much fewer FPs to secure first spot so you have 2 or 3 on the go during each collection while checking the 1.9 thread repeatedly, and considering whether you wait for the 1.9 thread, or move on to another GB and then risk loading too many GBs that you can't level quick enough.
    Given the size of your bank I'm curious about your strategy over the months for how you built it up and what your target was and when you dip into vs when you use collections only. Maybe an idea for another video?

    • @BardoFarkins
      @BardoFarkins  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      First of all, thanks for watching and making a great comment.
      2nd - congrats on getting that Arc to 80 - that is a big, big deal! And not easy!
      I remember when I got my Arc to 80, I was so happy that I literally slammed down a celebratory shot. And it was 11am.
      The question that you have about loading FP's into a GB that doesn't require that many. I will go into this a bit in a future video, but basically I do one of two things: 1) I load the fps into a 1.9 thread for my guild. It is a very active thread and almost always several building to dump into. 2) With so many active friends, I always have dozens of friends at any given time that are eager for me to post on their GBs. So I never have trouble. option #3 - which I never get to, would be to dump in another of MY own GB's.
      As for your question regarding the size of my FP bank....It is too high right now, and I need to get that down. FP's are not helpful to you sitting in your bank doing absolutely nothin. Sometimes.....often times.....they are coming in much faster than I can spend them down. At any given time, I generally average about 90 GB's that I have currently invested in. Again, I will touch on this in a video very soon.
      Thanks for watching - I appreciate you!

      Thanks so much for the positive comment! My current levels are CdM 107, CoA 107 and Zeus 111. The value/cost to benefit ratio for continuing to level these has really gone down with the power creep that is happening and the amazingly powerful new event buildings that we are getting. Perhaps I could do a GB tier list video, but there are already alot of solid videos on that topic out there on YT, so I don't seem myself doing one of those anytime soon, I have alot of other topics that are on the list.
