Remember: Harvesting Barnacles Can Be Done By More Than One Person

Now that barnacles and jellisacs are in high demand, Glitchen should remember that you can harvest these with someone.  I have been inviting people on a street I am harvesting to come and harvest with me. Many people said they didn't know they could harvest with someone. Cooperative harvesting may ease a little pressure on the demand, particularly for the jellisacs.

  • To be honest I've found a massive supply of jellisacs on the home streets and they replenish pretty quick too.  Have you found that harvesting with another player yields more Jelli  for your scoop?

  • I had no idea barnacles and jellisacs could now be harvested with others. Good to know.

  • @Becky as far as I'm aware I've always been able to harvest both in co-op since I've started playing Glitch back in October.  It just ends up though in the busier streets that everyone runs around grabbing without waiting generally :?

  • I've attempted to harvest with another, but it's more difficult when the items are so close together.  Coordination is not my strong suit.  But I agree, it would be nice if we could figure out how to do it together. :)

  • I would feel a little dirty harvesting resources from someone else's yard...

  • To harvest together, a countdown works well, or agree that you're always working in a particular direction if resources are close together. You can also designate one person as the "starter"; if you're both set up to go, when you see the scoop or scrape bubble above the starter's head, join in. Once you figure out your system, it can go pretty smoothly.

  • +1 I've had a few different scrapping parties for barnacles.  There is so more if you scrape together! :)

  • while I still get some missess, you just need to do the same flow with the other person, like 'bottom, up, bottom' and make sure each are in the position +2 seconds before starting. So one have chance to select the jellisac before other press the scoop.

    Of course in the end if you calculate how much barnacles you got for yourself, it prolly less. But if you calculate how much both of you got, that is a great profit.

  • I take some mild pride whenever the barnacles tip comes up on the loading screen.

  • Jellies and barnies are hard to share because you can't tell which one someone is harvesting.. that doesn't help.

  • @Maestro & everyone
    Did you know that there are glitchen who WANT you to harvest from their street? They even networked so you can get from street to street with ease! Cool huh? :D

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I'm constantly telling others about this and most say they had no idea.
    It's a little annoying when I am on a route, I appear on a street, someone is on it already scooping and they seem to start to run around like a madman trying to scoop all the jellis before I can get to one. 
    Come on now, we can both scoop together, you get some, I get some and we cover less land. 

    Me and my friends have a system. We scrape and scoop from left to right. Left, middle, then right. We will click on the jelli/barnacle wait a second then one starts to scoop and the other follows at the same time. We don't even need to talk, it flows so well. 

    Of course you don't have to play this way, it is a matter of choice but it's the nice Gltichen thing to do.

  • @Eye Wonder ya, I got three glitchens doing that with me. First try is a bit awkward but after like 10 jellisacs, we all almost missed no double jellisac.
