Jessup's Advanced Achievement Strategy Guide

As of writing this I'm ranked #5 on the achievement leaderboard. Most achievements are straight forward: Milk so many butterflies, harvest so many beans, etc. I'm writing this for glitchen who have leveled up, who are perhaps nearing the end of the skill tree, who are looking to tackle a few of those obscure and difficult achievements. Or for folks who are just curious about how to do various achievements. Hopefully these tips and tricks will save you some time grinding...

Patch tending achievements:
  +You can't get these by tending gardens, you need to tend tree patches. There's a trick to this one, though it might be considered a bug, so try it quick before Tiny Speck fixes it... Die once near your patch. Then come back and repair stuff or simply wait until your energy is 0 (you can't die from losing energy twice in the same day). Now tend that patch. You'll get a message like "You're too tired to tend that patch!" but that attempted try still counts as a tend achievement-wise. Thus, you sit at 0 energy and spam-tend your way all the way up to a thousand patch tends and the achievement. Hooray!

Make a Crab Happy achievement:
   +As of now, the super rare SB-1 musicblock is included in the circulation of musicblocks the crab needs to hear, thus making this achievement nearly ungrindable. I'd suggest simply not trying until TS fixes the problem. Here's a full explanation.

Repairing Kitchen Tools Achievements:
   +Breaking a kitchen tool is based on number of uses, NOT how many foods you've made. So make things one at a time. All tools have about 60 uses, typically it'll break around 63 to 65 uses. You can make loads of flour one at a time, or you can make something like tacos, which requires three tool uses to make one. Whatever floats your boat.

Dying Achievements (Becoming a Zombie Dracula):
   +You can only die once a day by losing energy, so get ready to use no-no powder. You can only die 18 times per day before you are super-pooped and can't die any more. It will take you about 40 minutes to kill yourself 18 times using no-no. So just start 40 real minutes before the end of a game day, and keep using that no-no. And remember, no-no doesn't work if you're pooped, so eat a taco or meditate after you escape hell before sniffing up again.

Firefly Catching Achievements:
   + Chakra Phool and Shimla Mirch are the firefly locales. To cut back on energy lost, you can jump in the air before opening your jar. I've found the sweet spot to be just left of the epicenter of the swarm. Any fireflies in your jar will escape and WILL NOT go back into your jar in the same catching. Also, there are some decoy fireflies that are slightly larger than regular fireflies. They will NEVER go in your jar. They are always in the same place. A few rounds of catching and you'll know where they are, just be careful when counting a swarm for at least seven fireflies.

Paper Harvesting Achievements:
   + Paper is found in the ancestral lands. Using some Glitch maps and Ur's guide on paper tree locations, you should be able to map yourself a route that hits about 12 - 16 paper trees per trip. I set a permanent warp to Languid Line W in Xalanga and routed my way through Xalanga and Choru to grab about 15 paper harvests per trip.

Dirt Traps:
   + You'll hit more open traps if you visit the ancestral lands during off peak hours (i.e. don't go between 7pm and 11pm EST)

Numismatizer Achievements:
   + This only counts the DAYS YOU PLAY (i.e. you don't have to wake up every 4 hours to do this). Thus, while doing these, just make sure you don't log in near the end of a day, and make sure you get a hundred coins on any game day you do log in on. Chakra Phool is a great coin grab location.

Game of Crowns Achievements:
   +This is the Austen Powers or Borat of glitch achievements. The first time you experience Game of Crowns, it's fun. But the more of it you're exposed to, the more you hate it. In terms of long-term replayability it is poorly designed. Since glitches move at the same speed, it favors the crown holder. After about 5 games, you'll figure out a loop to travel that hits all the crown-lock buffs, thus making it virtually impossible for anyone else to win. Now it becomes boring for you and frustrating for the people you thrash. Furthermore, the yellow booths are broken. Give one a try, you'll sit there for 20 minutes, unable to do anything, waiting for people to show up. If you want to rope suckers in, buy a bunch of tickets, and just pop up challenges in populated areas or at parties. Special Note: If you've got the crown-lock buff, your time counts for winning the game, but not for the "held the crown" achievements. Once you get your loop down, practice hopping the buffs. Trust me, it's still nearly impossible to get nabbed once you get the crown and know the terrain. Also, even though the achievement description says, "win X number of games," the other games don't count for these achievements.

Tree-Saving Achievements:
   +You can do these all at once with one tree in your backyard. Poison it, antidote it, poison it, antidote it, poison, antidote it, etc... Since it's your backyard, there's no poisoning delay debuff.

Tree-chopping Achievements:
   +Again, backyard is ideal as you won't have to camp a poisoned tree and you can poison/chop four or five trees at once depending the size of your house. It takes 3 minutes for a tree to die, and roughly the same time for a new tree to grow to be chopped. You can poison even the tiniest tree so long as it grows past the initial petting.

Wood Tree Achievements:
   +For the "petted and watered x number of wood trees to fullness" achievements, the wood tree only needs to go from 3 wood branches to four. Thus: Grow wood trees in your backyard up to fullness (4 branches). Harvest it twice to get it back to 3 branches. Then water and pet, but don't harvest, until it grows back to 4 branches. Then chop chop, water pet, water pet, chop chop, water pet water, etc... until all the wood tree achievements are yours.

Glitch Train Achievement:
   +If you're going to rally people to do this, I'd suggest starting it in Eglesgown Wanks in Groddle Meadow. There's a sign post there that connects five streets, thus you just have to click through all five streets, you don't even have to move. This is important as dragging 20 glitchen across a street can create problems, it might bug out, or one person might accidentally move and break the entire chain. If you're all at that sign, and no one touches the keyboard except the train leader, it should work fine.

Trader Joe, Vic, Carl Achievements:
   +Since trade windows aren't used often, Glitches at work will often close them out if you simply walk up and try to trade. I'd suggest going to a party where glitches are just fooling around. Shout out in chat that it's stew time, and then just start trading people awesome stews for nothing. You'll find that people will often trade you back cubimals, food, powders, and other goodies just for kicks. Fun. Takes all of 15 minutes to get all three achievements.

Pig, Butterfly, and Chick raising achievements:

   +It takes 3 feedings of anything to raise a piglet to pigginess.
   +It takes 1 bubble to raise a catterpillar to butterfliery.
  +It takes a bajillion feedings of grain to raise a chick up. (EDIT: technically 10 feedings)

Shriner Forty Niner Achievement:
   +Doesn't matter how small the donation is. Fill your bags with meat and donate them one at a time. Despite comments to the contrary in the forum, I was still able to get spinner tickets doing this, and ended up with about 50 tickets after completing the achievement. Yop!

Sneeze-O-Rama and Sparkle Buddy Achievements:
   +There are usually a bunch of glitchen gathered around the tool vendor in Cebarkul.

Chatting Achievements:
   +You can just spam IM people "hello" to nab this one. But hey, try doling out some compliments on glitches' fashion choices. Spread the cheer.

Jellisac Achievements:
   +Southern Shimla Mirch is a great location for jellisac. Fjarke alone has like 16 jellisac slots. But if there are other glitchen scooping, consider heading to Chakra Phool. It only takes ones glitch to empty out a whole region of jellisac for a few minutes. If that glitch doesn't realize you can scoop cooperatively, it can be a real pain.

Friending Achievements:
   +Don't be shy. Spam "add to friends" everyone you meet and everyone in global chat. Glitchen generally don't mind, they're trying to get this too after all.

Emblem Collecting Achievements:
   +ABP. Always Be Powdering. Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder is your best friend. Donating large amounts of small items is ideal as you can control exactly how much favor you gain. (Favor is gained at 1/10th the currant value of anything you donate). Hundreds of meats, hundreds of milk, etc. Also, you do not need to have all the emblems at once for these achievements, you just need to have earned them.

Completist Achievements:
  +These are the ones you get for visiting all locations in any given region. If you're confused on any particular one, remember that these include the special locations that require keys to reach.

Subway Riding Achievements:
   +These suck and there's no short cut. Remember, you have to get on AND off the subway to count as one ride (rather than a ride for every stop you pass). You can double up grinding by meditating while you ride. Put on an audiobook, listen to some This American Life, WTF podcast, whatever.

Musicblock Achievements:
   +You can straight up buy these achievements at the auction house. But if you want to do it organically, the rare musicblock, BB-5, can be obtained by tending tree patches.

Moneybags Magoo Achievement:
   +Buying houses doesn't count for this. Buying stuff from an auction does. If you can't find anything for over 5k, have a friend post a bubble up for 5001 and buy it. (EDIT: You can get this from vendors by simply buying more than 5k worth of goods at once, like 3 gnomes)

Dragon Chaser Achievement:
   +No-no powder halves every time. Six minutes, then 3 minutes, then 1.5 minutes, then 45 seconds, etc. (EDIT: you can do this with two powders so long as you sniff the second one before you time out!)

That's all I got for now. If anyone knows a way to coax a ju-ju up to chase you, I'd love to hear it, as I usually only see a couple during a full trip through the ancestral lands. Apparently ju-ju appearances are tied to how long you are in the ancestral lands (last half of any trip?). Thanks for all the comments and additions so far, and feel free to add any tips below. Cheers!

  • Very useful, never realised garden patches didn't count for a start, or that a single use was better for kitchen tools, cheers! 

    Would add something about replanting patches afterwards, saving the entire place from becoming a wasteland ;)

    (or do garden tree patches work, just not vege gardens ?)

  • My current theory on jujus is that they appear when you trip a dust trap after your allotted time in the ancestral lands is at least 50% gone. It fits with what I've observed, but I haven't done any serious testing.

  • Nice guide. One thing I'd add is multi-tasking. Examples:

    - You can meditate while processing (cooking, tuning, gassifying, seasoning, etc). You can even navigate around the dialog to some extent during meditation; it won't be interrupted until you actually hit the button to start the action. So you can triple up, and say, season beans (badge) while meditating (badge) while riding the subway (badge).

    - In the same vein, you can repair tools, crush rocks, make crystals, and probably do something other things I'm not aware of while processing.

    - TP badges go up to 10,003, so if you're just standing around grinding stuff on no-no, why not TP around randomly while you're at it? Lem knows you've got the energy. You don't even have to wait for that batch of spice to finish milling, you can TP without interrupting it. With a 3-minute cooldown, you can squeeze in four TPs on your first hit, two on your second, and one for every hit thereafter, even when death becomes instant (have your TP points open and click immediately after you sniff).

  • How do you open a jar while in the air?  Literally--I've read that about catching fireflies before, but been unable to discover the combination of keyboard and mouse thingies to do it.  When I try to interact with anything in my inventory while jumping it seems like I can't, no menu comes up, I think.  (I do okay without, but there are some locations where it would definitely help.)

    Thanks for the guide!
    Also, what Lorelei said--I just bought a cubimal box to get Moneybags.
    Posted 13 months ago by Zauberberg Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Zauberberg: Position the cursor over the jar. Press spacebar and then click the mouse button. You should freeze in the air while the jar menu opens. It works for me.
    Posted 13 months ago by Ximenez Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks, Ximinez--that helped!  I was trying exactly that, but tapping the laptop touchpad to click.  For whatever reason, tapping the touchpad while jumping totally fails, but clicking the never-before-used left button works even while jumping!  Weird, but now I know.

  • great list , Jessup , thanks very much ! ;)
    Lx- I did NOT know I could multi-task while processing -cant wait to try that ;) Do you meditate as the last piece of that multi-task train or as the 1st ?

  • Great list!  =)
    Posted 13 months ago by ~Scilly~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks for the Repairing Kitchen Tools Achievements tip, I didn't know how the uses work.

    I'm almost sure that the Dragon Chaser achievement can be accomplished with just 2 no-no powder flaps, use the first, wait until the no-no powder crush debuff and use the second. 

    For the music block achivements, I got 2 with gardening V and the others doing other activities (mortar barnacles, jellisacs, etc.)

    For the firefly catching badges, buy several jars, if you can't fill one, don't try again with the half full jar, better use an empty one, so you don't waste energy.
    Posted 13 months ago by Natalia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • serenitycat - the last, any clicks or enter-key presses after you start meditation will interrupt. But you can, for instance, hit "C" or "B" before clicking meditate and eyeball around or navigate your inventory without breaking it.

    Lx - unless I'm doing it wrong, you cannot do other tasks while processing - no grinding, repairing or other, just meditation that I've been able to find. It gives the message that you're to busy doing something else.

    Gwenog - I think the juju appearance rate is linked to how long you've been in the ancestral lands, and not to the dust traps. I've had them appear without triggering any traps. In addition, the one time I encountered the bug there, jujus started appearing very frequently after a while. I was seeing as many as 3 per street.

    On the achievements -

    Dragon Chaser - you can sniff again after the no-no rush has run out and the crash has started. I'm not sure how long the window is, but it's at least a few seconds. Only took me one try and 4 powders

    Moneybags - As foxtongue said, multi-purchase works. I got it by purchasing 3 bigger bags.

    Chicks take exactly 10 grain to raise.

    Awesome stuff, though. There's a couple things on there I didn't know about. :)

    edit: oh yeah, fireflies! One of my favorite tricks is to release a half-full jar into a large (10+) swarm. You'll likely fill that jar, then wait a few seconds and open a fresh jar to fill a second one!

  • You don't need to buy something for more than 5000 currants to have Moneybag Magoo.
    I got mine by buying a Cubimal Box (5000 currants).

    Thanks for compiling all that.

    I got the Dragon Chaser achievement with just 2 flaps of No-No though. 
    Got to time that second one within the first min of the first crash. I think.

  • Very helpful, Jessup, especially the tip about the cooking tool mending! What about Gourmand Supreme? I think I read somewhere that you have to eat a full stack at a time, not partial stacks. Is that true?

  • I would edit the subway bit to mention that you can do most useful work while on the subway.   You can cook on the subway, grind on the subway, etc.   And yes, once you are on your way to Eastern Approach station and have started up a batch of awesome stew, you can click on your orb to get in a quick meditate.

  • Another great place to grab coins is in Ilmenskie (sp?). The mines have tons of coins and a good respawn rate. I'll go there, grab my coins, get some sparkly, and head back home. I'm on... day 6 or 7 of consecutive coins. Intending to break it this week! :D
    Posted 13 months ago by Saiai Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks for all the comments everyone.

    GreyGoose: I'm honestly not sure, I was paying attention to that one. I'd guess it's just the number of foods you eat.
    Lx: I agree on teleporting on no-no, great multitask.

    In fact, everyone had good multitasking suggestions, that's a big part of any grind, figuring out how many achievements you can work on at once. Most recently, I've been doing Paul Bunions, Dracula, Teleporting, and egg transmutator at once: Use no-no, teleport to front yard, run back inside, poison trees, then gassify some white gas until I can repeat the process.

  • Some of my thoughts, for whatever they're worth (a bit less than 2₡, probably ;))

    Glitch Train Achievement:
    If you're going to rally people to do this, I'd suggest starting it in Eglesgown Wanks in Groddle Meadow. There's a sign post there that connects five streets, thus you just have to click through all five streets, you don't even have to move. <<< THIS! 

    After helping out folks with this achievement more than a handful of times, going here or to GFJ is the best way to do it. It takes 75% of the pain away. Also, check with everyone at each hop to make sure they still have the train buff active.

    Trader Joe, Vic, Carl Achievements:
    If you're planning on getting icons by trading emblems, you don't really need to worry too much about these as you'll get them naturally. But trading parties are loads of fun, so that's a great way to go about it especially since you can trad the sneezing & sparkling powders around and folks who need the powder badges can use them.

    Sneeze-O-Rama and Sparkle Buddy Achievements:
    There are usually a bunch of glitchen gathered around the tool vendor in Cebarkul.<<< Please be considerate of your fellow glitchen when going about this - the powders make lag worse & Cebarkul is laggy enough as is. 

    Just keep them on hand and when you're on a street with enough people, let it loose. Or double up when doing or helping out with the peat bog quest... you'll have nearly enough people gathered for these badges, so just wait around for a couple more and trade the powders (and whatever else) around (whee! quick trading party!). It's quite likely that a couple others need the achievements, too, so you can all knock em out quickly.

    Emblem Collecting Achievements:
    Also, you do not need to have all the emblems at once for these achievements, you just need to have earned them. <<< I was under the impression that this had been changed and you did need to have them all on hand at once. 

    A couple tips favor is 1/10 of the game's price for an item. Fairly Hallowed Shrine Powder will double it and Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder will triple it. Meat, being worth 10, grants 1/2/3 favor. Metal ingots, which you'll probably have plenty of from the smelting badges, are worth 30 and grant 3/6/9. Other good fillers after you've loaded em up with music blocks & gems are sparkly & milk, both worth 8 and grant 2.4 favor with extremely hallowed shrine powder. (of course, you only want to use the FHSP if it will save you ~200-250 currants and the EHSP if it'll save you ~350-400 currants, otherwise it's not worth the expense). 

    When you get your emblems, you can hit the emblem trading group chat and trade your emblems (getting you closer to the trading badges and icons if you're going for those).

  • Question. Wood Trees. That doesn't work 100% because... unlike other trees, you cannot Harvest 2 times a game-day, but only once! So after chopchop, you're still left with 4 branches :O
    So it means this whole thing can only be done once a day?
    Posted 12 months ago by elka Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Another good place to gather 100 quoins for the day for the Numismatizer Achievements is at Groddle Forest Junction.

    This may be common sense, but to get cooking, alchemy, blending, or drink mixing achievements quickly, it's best to cook food where ingredients are few and easy to obtain:

    knife & board - flour (need only grain)
    frying pan - buns (flour and allspice changed to salt)
    awesome pot - proper rice (rice and allspice changed to salt)
    blender - orange juice (cherries changed to oranges)
    cocktail shaker - spicy grog (hooch, allspice, allspice changed to licorice, mustard, hot pepper)
    saucepan - cloudberry jam (cherries changed to cloudberries, allspice changed to ginger)
    famous pugilist grill - greasy frybread (buns and milk changed into butterfly butter)
    test tube - lemene and cosmox
    beaker - no-no powder (using the lemene and cosmox)
    potion-making - charades potions (yellow crumb flower essence, and gas changed to laughing and crying gas)

  • Multi-processing: as well as meditating while cooking etc, you can click on emblems for caress/consider/contemplate.  Not both at once, though.

    This is useful if you want to gain experience from cooking and your mood drops while you're in the middle of cooking 36 Meat Tetrazzini - a few Caress clicks will get your mood back up before the exp from the cooking is calculated.

  • I suspect the patch-tending bug has been nerfed; I got the lower badges (251 and 500) easily, but I feel certain I've tended this patch an additional 500 times and no final badge has been forthcoming...if anyone can confirm it still works, Ill persevere, but otherwise, I'm going back to normal, slow patch-tending.

    *EDIT* D'oh! There is no tending badge beyond 501 - I was probably getting it mixed up with the barnacle harvesting, which does go up to 1009. Nothing to see here...On the bright side, I did die a few extra times. :)

    For the Juju-dodging achievements, does anyone know whether you need to actually jump over the Juju, or is it enough to just get off the street without getting your stuff stolen?

  • @shannonk:  Just getting off the street does the trick.  If you have 3 following you, and you get off the street, that counts as 3 Jujus that you dodged.

    Note, if you get 3 people in a group, the waiting time of 2 minutes GOES AWAY...  I'm going to try to organize a subway party soon, want to get 5 or more parties of 3 going on the blue line all at once.   If it glitches and one of you separates, all three of you are delayed by one ride of 2 minutes, so you'll still be three together at the next stop.  The large number of groups is to make it more like a "race" and make there be spares.
