I've gotten enough Bottled Cold Fusion to craft the Hearthstone Base. Those Mad Depths were absolutely BRUTAL this past time, and I think I'd rather have that than I'd like to have the Spiked Base.

I just need one more Frosty Metal to make the base, so hopefully I'll have that tomorrow, and I'll then be able to move through the Iceberg again (which will give me enough BCF to make my Spiked Base).

*wanders in with as close to MH jitters as you can get*
Just wrapped up the Bombing Run on hunt 195. Caught a Princess Fist which shot me 12 feet into the Mad Depths and then used all 8 drill bits which pushed me through to 1772ft - #195.
So now I just need to crush the last 28ft of the Mad Depths and then hope and pray I catch the Icewing quickly with the Deep Base. Shouldn't be a problem, I just have to stay under 250 hunts, but I have had bad luck with the Icewing before.
The record Icewing speed run is 172 hunts. I have no idea how someone managed to do that because I had a really, really good run.

Still in the Iceberg. I have the Mk. II this time and I think it's making a difference. Who knows what will happen once I hit the Depths though. Here's hoping we place in the tourney today; I still have only the Bronze base.

For those who may be interested, Jacob is drawing a header for the Town of Digby.

I have made it to the Deep Mouse!!! So far it's Deep Mouse 3 - FK 0 I'm doing a tournament that starts in an hour and a half so I'm hoping to snag him before then. I'll update if I get him.
Still no General Drheller though. Grrrr.....

ETA: Just had to say something, snagged my Deep Mouse. I love the fact that he dropped Deep Thoughts.

ETA 2: Here is my data for my best overall Gouda run and this SB run....

Gouda: Tunnels 43 - Bulwark 106 - Bombing 229 - Mad Depths & Icewing 259 (I did not have the Hearthstone Base for this run and I used 7 drill bits)

SB: Tunnels 33 - Bulwark 87 - Bombing 195 - Mad Depths & Icewing 204 (used 8 drill bits, all in the Mad Depths). Unfortunately I didn't write it down, but I think I caught the Deep Mouse around hunt #220.

I cannot get over the price of Super Brie right now! If it goes up much more it'll be at 10,000 gold per piece! That's just insane!!! People hard up for money might consider selling some off

Doing decently on my Iceberg run. 400 ft at hunt 60.

I have been selling SB+ off in small batches, Digs, just because it's so incredibly high and I'll have time to collect more before I get to the point in the game where I will really want it. I put 3 pieces up at 9500 the other day and it only took 12 hours or so for it to sell.

FK, since you're done with the Iceburg I don't know if you would consider this a spoiler, but regarding the Deep Mouse:

Spoiler

Apparently he's a guaranteed catch on the 250th hunt if you've completed all the other requirements. People have tested it out with Tacky Glue Traps, lol. Right now they're testing to see if it's an auto-attract as well. So you needn't have worried, and neither should anyone else who is going after him.

Well, I'm currently in the Cats trying to recoup my gold from my SS Huntington and Net Cannon purchase. Right now I am planning on getting the Aqua base since I'm still a week or two away from my Silver base if all goes well, and since I'm going to need it later on for assignments...*shrug* Doesn't make a difference if I spend the gold now or then.

After I buy that, then it's the DDB, and then I'll be hunting in the Tribal Isles doing all that fun stuff, working on upgrading my traps. Considering how much they cost (gulp) that will keep me busy for a VERY long time, lol.

But boy, y'all were right when you said the Cats were a gold mine with the ACRONYM; I've not even been in there 24h and I've made 200k. It's a bit boring but tournies keep it fresh, and I like that I'm also collecting coal and scrap metal while I'm there, which obviously I'm going to need a TON of later on.

There's a High Seas Hunting tourny tomorrow that I'm interested in...anyone? If you're lucky enough to catch a Shelder he's worth a TON of points, lol!

I made it to the S.S. Huntington (is it II or III? I've seen it called both).

But I went back to the Cats right away because I didn't have very much gold.

What Hydro trap should I buy? The Net Cannon or Harpoon Gun?

~Riella

I tell people to go with the Net Cannon. If you don't like it smash, recombine and you've got the Harpoon Gun.

I missed all three chests... again... I've got enough cheese stockpiled now though to go after the Shelder... hopefully I'll catch him sooner rather than later. Although, later would indeed be better than never

FK, since you're done with the Iceburg I don't know if you would consider this a spoiler, but regarding the Deep Mouse:

No, I had not seen that, and that's very interesting and kind of nice to know.

I made it to the S.S. Huntington (is it II or III? I've seen it called both).

It was II until they released the Iceburg and now it's III.

What Hydro trap should I buy? The Net Cannon or Harpoon Gun?

What DiGs said. But be aware, the Net Cannon is better combined with the Aqua Base, so you'll want to pair those two together.

I've got enough cheese stockpiled now though to go after the Shelder... hopefully I'll catch him sooner rather than later.

Good luck!!

In the Fiery Warpath having issues with Wave 3. I'm trying to get to the sweet spot for a Warpath tournament but I'm not getting many streaks, certainly not enough to use a Commander's Charm. Maybe if I complain about it I'll start getting some.
