I did pretty well today. Made it to my first Monster Trench and nabbed two AotD and a Tritus mouse right off the bat. No PP drop, but we can't have everything. 13.5km, 200 O2 and about 360 SSgpr Tidal Base.

I made it to my first Monster Trench as well. I've got 333 sand dollars.

I'm missing the Sand Dollar Diver and that's it.

I caught a tritus, but no processor drop. Love the points and gold from the mouse. I've got another Monster Trench coming up and another Sunken Treasure. I just need the sand dollars to get the base. I still have 366o2 and am at 15160m.

Gymmie, congrats on your High Roller mouse. The last event mouse I need. I've seen several Treasurer and Snooty mice, but not the other three.

And congrats to those of you who snagged your Tritus mice.

I finished up my run and posted the results above. I was quite pleased, especially since I got a processor which I wasn't expecting. I also have over 500 sand dollars so I'll get my trap next dive. Back to the boring o2 farming in the city. Up to 343 so far. My minimal goal is 1200, but if I can make myself be patient, I'm gonna go for more.

Now I have a question for you guys. I saw on Jacob's Fb page yesterday that they're not going to have a FBF next month at all. I was curious if any of you had heard why? Most of you know why this is, but I'm not in a position to go find out myself so I'm hoping one of you can

I'm likely going to be on this dive awhile. I'm at 16010m and I still have 325 o2. I've got two sunken treasures coming up. No tritus this last monster trench. Any recommendations on charms that might help the catch rate?

A toxic spill is coming up this week! Yay!!!!! It'll be my first one as a grand duke. Yay for new mice for me!

Got the base! Now to see what happens with hunting with it.

Currently:

16,670m
254o2
500FF
311 DC
275 MS
198 B

Down to 4 sand dollars and 4.5 mill in gold. On to the first of the traps!

I've been EAC'ing it through the last bit as it was two sunken treasures with a Monster trench in between them. Now that I have the base, I'm taking the EAC's off and keeping them off the rest of the dive.

1:53 pm - Sunken City
Having run out of Oxygen Canisters, I returned to the Sunken City to stock up on more after traveling 17,210 meters.

During this dive, I visited 2 Rocky Outcrops, 2 Schools of Mice, 2 Shallow Shoals, 1 Sand Dollar Sea Bar, 3 Pearl Patches, 7 Sea Floors, 6 Mermouse Dens, 6 Shipwrecks, 4 Coral Gardens, 2 Carnivore Coves, 5 Coral Castles, 7 Murky Depths, 3 Haunted Shipwrecks, 6 Lost Ruins, 3 Sunken Treasures and 2 Monster Trenches.

On my second Monster Trench, I caught a few more AotD and got a PP from one. Not a bad haul. Crafted about 800 FF with my supplies, but I'm saving that for when I actually start my big move in two weeks. I figured while I'm still relatively unoccupied, I'd work on some things that I haven't finished game-wise, like fill a couple empty mouse slots on my record and etc.

Congrats on the PP Gymmie Nice to see several people getting those to drop. Maybe it won't be so bad getting the rest without buying them off of the marketplace.

Kat, congrats on the base!

Definitely bummed the toxic spill is only Count level. I was hoping for any level other than that to help boost points and leveling. That's alright though. Now I won't be torn between the TS and Sunken City. I'm just going to fill up the barrel and head right back. My goal is to at least get the trap before the next Rift release.

Current SC stats, 340 FF to go (about 5 days worth for me) with 969o2, as well as enough materials for six water jet charms. I should be in really good shape once I get back into it.

Well, after some severe DLU (I caught my King Scarab, and a King Grub after that) on my LG run, I got just as severe DHU. Out of 20 pieces of Lunaria, I only attracted 1 TC, which I am grateful to have caught. I have never seen such abysmal attraction rates for her, except maybe in my first few runs, but I think that those were better.

I'm camped out in the TS for now, and will probably head back to SC when I fill my barrel.

Ah phooey stwin, that stinks about the lack of TCs. At least you only have one more boss mouse to go. So you're just about there.

I know this is just Count level in the TS, but I've been really impressed with how well the Tidal base is working here (forget you Washboard and Polluted bases). I mean it's high enough that I've just been using Wealth charms. Can't wait to get my shark traps for the next time.

Unfortunately I didn't take note of my Countess percentage when the Spill opened, but it was 88% a couple of days ago, so perhaps 89 or 90%.

It just rose to 95%.
Perhaps I should stay in this Spill until I'm a Duchess ...

I need 24 more Crude Pollutinum to fill up my barrel - unless I get that last Canister Ring that I need to buy the Large Barrel, in which case I'll need more. I got four or five rings during the last spill, but it stopped before I could get the 8th one - and today there hasn't been a streak of them

The Chrome Phantasmic works fine. I'm using the Horse Jade Base. Is it useful to buy/craft any of the Spill Bases, or should I forget them (if that's what you mean) and save my resources for the Tidal Base? Or is that so far ahead of me that I need one of the two here while waiting?

Well, here's what happened with me. A few spills back I was doing a high level area and I was watching the scoreboards. I had the Rift Base and the couple people who had the Washboard Base were passing the people who didn't. So I got that one, but I haven't found it to be a better investment than Soap Charms, which improve your catch rate far more than the base.
The Polluted Base is good IF and only if, you pair it with Ultimate Polluted Charms, unlike the GTB which can stand alone without Champion Charms. Since I'm currently saving for the theme, I can't craft any charms, so my Polluted base is gathering dust. But once I have the theme, I'll probably use it.
So having said all of that, since you don't have either the Rift or the GTB, it may be a worthwhile investment. I think if it was me though, I'd aim for the Tidal Base.

Filled up my toxic waste barrel a couple days ago and moved back to the Sunken City. Currently at 1134 o2 with 262FF to go. Should be a nice long dive. I am ready to burn some extra o2 with repeated dives to get my Sand Dollar Diver and finish up with the mice in the area.

I definitely want the Tidal Base. So it may be better to concentrate on that - as soon as I've levelled up to Duchess. I'm 97% Countess now

The Horse Jade Base does a decent job with the Chrome Phantasmic - I even got that last Canister Ring, have bought the Large Barrel and have filled it up, and I'm now farming Soapy Suds - possibly for the Washboard Base, which doesn't cost any gold.

When I become a Duchess, it will be time to go back to Sunken City and Living Garden.
I want to craft the GAT blueprint - perhaps even craft the trap (although that would delay getting enough gold for the Tidal Base ...) ...
And I'm also ready for my next dive, with 643 Oxygen.

I filled up on crude pollutinum and headed back to the sunken city. I've got 90 pieces of Fishy Fromage left, so sometime later this week I'll be diving with probably close to 1500 Oxygen.

Finally wrapped up my third dive:

Having run out of Oxygen Canisters, I returned to the Sunken City to stock up on more after traveling 23,480 meters.

During this dive, I visited 2 Shallow Shoals, 2 Feeding Grounds, 1 Rocky Outcrop, 1 Coral Reef, 7 Sea Floors, 2 Pearl Patches, 5 Shipwrecks, 2 Carnivore Coves, 1 Oxygen Stream, 1 Mermouse Den, 10 Murky Depths, 7 Lost Ruins, 5 Haunted Shipwrecks, 7 Coral Castles, 4 Sunken Treasures and 5 Monster Trenches.

Ended up using 6 water jets I think. Definitely an improvement on the 8000m from the last dive. lol.
