ok, so I've been pushing the "Game" part of the game. By that I mean, I have been wondering how feasible it is to finish the game, and by that I mean buying the ticket off the island.
Since the devs stealth patched the bug repellent exploit, the best method to make money I've found right now is to go farm mutated mushrooms.
To do so safely, relatively, you need a mage build to be able to cast the water main and off-hand. with that method, I've been able to make an average of 1 gold coin per 20 minutes. staking for granted that the fare price will go up to 25 GC, this means that the amount of grinding necessary to win the game in an efficient manner is about 8 hours.
Knowing that it's possible to get fully kitted out and ready to start the grind in an hour, the minimum game time of a play-through right now is 9 hours of which 8 are pure grinding.
Should there be a change?
