The One With Even More Math


Day 9

Dear Diary,

The blockchain actions are back up!! So let's see what we can do.

I already checked magic eden yesterday to be prepared. I want the cheapest (so fully bred) gen 1 queen with stats as close to 280 as possible and found this beauty on the top! There is actually even a perfect one, much cheaper available, but it's listed in SOL and for the challenge we can only sell HXD for WAX.

I actually thought I had a super clever strategy, which was going for a Cocarro Queen immediately (you can still activate those as hive queen), but I noticed the price difference was over a factor 10, so that plan was out of the window soon.



Now some bees, but what bees? Let's do a quick and dirty check

Hmmm, floor bees always have a way quicker ROI. Though if you would ask if it's 'better', I would say it depends on how long you think you'll play with them and what unknowns are happening on the market in that time.

The lower zone bees will starter earning earlier for you, but the higher zones will bring in more, so they will close that gap and overtake them at some point. 


I'll try to buy some mood and landform matched teams. And while I'm at it, I'll try to find 3 bees or so with a lot of luck to see if we can win the stone in the Icerax battle. It might be a while before we really have bees to do anything significant there, but it would be a nice accomplishment right?!


I'll do some calculations on the hive I bought this weekend. Should have some stats then after I have been able to activate my queen, so see you then!

Icerax: How to open the portal to Cocarro

 Day 16 Dear Diary, I'm going for Icerax! Startegy: get 1-3 bees with luck > 250. They're supposed to stay in the battle for a long time, and will do a lot of damage that way. So I've bought a couple of relatively cheap luck upgrades and upgrades the highest luck bees. These 3 are supposed to be my MVP's! I started the battle with 3975 attack, the battle starts at 01:00 am for me. When I woke up, this was the snapshot, already more than the minimum needed to qualify! And when the evening started it looked like this It's looking good I think! If I filter by luck, I see all the high luck ones are still in the battle! It's paying off!  Oh, I also see I upgraded 1 that can only fight last few hours  My advise, when you don't have many bees, go for a few with high luck! I also made level 13 by the way 🔥

Icerax? Hunting profits? Cocarro Team? Answers to big questions!

  Day 18 Dear Diary, I know, I know, you're wondering: - Did she get the portal stone from Icerax?! - Is she still hunting? - If so why? Or why not? - What are we even gonna do in Cocarro? Let me immediately jump into this.  I had more than enough damage, ended up as 19 and as expected my luck upgraded bees did most of the work and survived the full battle! See my other blog for more info about this strategy. And now what?! Yeah, good question. After spending all HXD on earth assets this was now more of a pride thing than anything else. However, I did buy the starter pass now for 200 HXD. This would allow me to do explore missions. Maybe we can get some bees and a queen to do some of those.  So how to get those bees? Well, hunting of course!! I did another 100 hunts and re-checked the profits to see if I should still be hunting. It's an overwhelming YES. Check it out. These are today's market prices and the green ones are the most profitable. Also, I pay a max of 0.5 per ...

What the Whale?!

Message from the future: This article was written and published in January, far before the changes to the generations in U1/Earth. All the basics still apply, the strategy would still be low zone turbo harvesting, but it might be interesting to spend a little bit more on quality > quantity and the asset prices are not the same anymore after that announcement. What are the changes? Only gen 3 eggs can be created, for 150 shards + WAX Gen 3 Bees will have 99 floor and 130 ceiling stats Per 1st April: Gen 3: 60% decrease in Queen Boost effectiveness Gen 2: 30% decrease in Queen Boost effectiveness There is an event item coming that will give players the option to increase the Generation of a Bee. Let's only look at the Queen Boost effectiveness for gen 3 now.  Before the changes (right now) a 270 gen 1 queen would give 108 stats to the gen 3. A 120 floor bee (overall) would end up as 228, 262 with other bees, and would bring in 0.33 hxd per run (with 2 others).  After the chan...
