A huge advantage, especially for a non-spender or light spender. Which is approximately how long I spent farming gems before it was announced. This is an extra 100-150k gold and grog per hour.ģ0 days of diligent farming would have been enough to completely speed up PH8 when you first start building it.

My farming army takes 8 gems with pc3 (10 brutes 25 gunners- 1 brute 4 gunners x 6, 2 brutes 1 gunner, 2 brutes) which means every trip or two I get an entire free army, or an extra 400-600k of both loots every 4 hours. And to the high rank players that gem resources, this is an easy way to get gems and resources without costing you a single troop, which might be enough to get you an extra couple attacks or a mine or two reset when you're hurting for grog at rank 900. Not a lot, but enough to gem 6-10 extra armies when farming. But if I'm diligent enough about resending my ship out, I've been able to pull in 50-75 a day in the past. The most I've gotten is 15, and there are some times I've gotten 0. If you're going to sleep, it may be worth skipping some shallows to cross a more rough sea, however. But the shallowest waters take 5 seconds and very little range, so might as well add them in. The depth of the water effects the number of gems that can be dropped, and I've found the second and third shallowest waters are the most efficient in terms of gems vs time/range to cross. On average, I see 1-3 gem squares sometimes I get 4, sometimes I get none. This run I only got 1 gem square, but it had 5 gems in that square. Notice how many rewards I'm getting from crossing squares. While a couple things did spawn in my path, because I set sail before they spawned, they did not add to overall range restrictions (unsure if they added time). Notice it uses all my range and crosses a large number of squares, but only takes 2 hours 3 minutes (with observatory). There are a couple different paths I've done, depending on where things spawn and if I'm trying to avoid battles (battles take up a lot of range and time, for much less reward, but you may want to clear your initial farming path) So by doing as many as possible, you're maximizing the number of rewards you can get. This initially started as a way to make use of my ship while waiting for ph8, since I didn't want to kill off my Santabrutenclaws fishing for BP (still sad he got replaced with ching when she came out :c )Ĭross as many squares as possible, in the shortest amount of time, while using up your entire ship's range.Įach square you cross has a chance to give you a reward.
