#### You got how much IMG today? Yeah right *rolls eyes* - (Quoin Upgrade Limit Edition)

- Mercifully short version:
Share a screen grab of your "New Day" and show me your 60k - 70k - 80k, share your level, your brain capacity, your quoin mutiplier, energy tank and how you managed to do it.
The recent Quoin Upgrade limit of 100 affects many of the strategies shared here, but in no way invalidate them, you can still use them to get the max amount of IMG you can within the limit.

- grelca insane advice to higher levels: click here

- Arabesque offers this method that I tested and works like a charm to get 50k IMG: click here
- UrgleBurger Is some kind of machine and is crazy: click here
- saraswati offers this wisdom: click here
- Ely Phant explains a very straight forward way to do so: click here
- TL;DR version:
I´m a lvl 32 glitchen (blue and proud) with a healthy 100/52 brain capacity, 2515 energy tank and 17.4 quoin multiplyer.
I tithe every (game) day, sing to butterflies, roam the ancestral lands, craft, season, cook, donate (with EHSP of course, what am I, an animal?), I harvest, I pet, I do everything that can be done to get my IMG up and I´m glad when I manage to do a healthy 20k in IMG per game day.
That´s until I got to chat on Global and some dudes and duddetes (yes, you) just mention as if it is nothing "oh, today I got 500k IMG just clipping my toenails", and when I mention my now really crappy looking 20k I picture them popping a monocle, spilling some tea while standing up straight from their Louis VI lounge couch staggered at my meager, poor achievement. I´m sure some of them raise an arm resting a hand in their forehead while fainting.
They ask "well, did you donated today" - "yes".
"you need to use EHSP" says another - "yes I did" I duly reply
"There are some Qurazy Quoins that you..." - "yes" I interrupt "I know and I get as many as I can"
"You need to cook awesome stew" - "I did 400 today, meager 5k"
And the endless stream of useless advice flows and I don´t believe a word of it. Now here is the place to make me shut up:
Share a screen grab of your "New Day" and show me your 60k - 70k - 80k, share your level, your brain capacity, your quoin mutiplier and how you managed to do it.
Cheers n_n

  Level 33 now, was 32
  Quoin Multiplier: 26 now, was 24
  BC: 53
  I harvested the spice route, turned a lot of spice into cardamom, and a lot of general vapor into laughing gas.
  Made about 260 fruit tree beans, donated them to shrines with EHSP in lots of no less then 20. You get 2400iMG JUST from making 40 beans, not including the prep you do.
  Donated up to max donation limit: Approx. 21k iMG.
  ETA: Also reflect on all icons, that'll get you roughly 3-4k iMG the amount goes up based on level .

- I recently realized that I can donate from zero to emblem on more than one shrine in a day - that REALLY helps! Never have gotten 500k in a day, though... look forward to seeing some proof that it's possible! ^__^

- Hmm, Fruit Tree Beans eh? That would definitely give me a use for my supplies of beans, spice and gas. I use all my other harvests (meat, milk, grain, spice, fruit, and egg) for making Meat Tetrazzinis. Now I just need a good use for Bubbles. What does everyone use Bubbles for? Bubble Tea or Savory Smoothies, or is there an even better use for Bubbles?

- You need WAY more coin multiplier. 17.4 is nothing. (Also, brain capacity is worthless if you already have all the skills. Do not buy.)
  My multiplier is at 47.4. I made over 40k today without much fuss. A stroll through the Ancestral Lands usually nets me a minimum of 10k.
  But really, donating is the biggie. EHSP + an f-ton of molybdenum = iMG out the wazoo.

- I haven't done it since I was grinding to get to level 60, but I used to do it regularly. I mean you get the same amount of iMG for actions now as you got for XP then (well. reflecting icons seems lower but that's probably just because my level is lower now).
  Here is evidence of my getting to level 59 to level 60 in a day. The best I can do right now.
  Level 59
  Level 60
  Even if I'd played every single game day (which I didn't) and got level 59 at the very beginning of April 23 (which I didn't) and level 60 at the very end of April 24 (which I did), that would be a maximum of 12 game days. Which would be an average of 40kish for each. But I played more like 6 game days, which averages to about 80k per game day.
  Obviously getting to level 60 had a ton of donation potential per game day (which I met each of the days I played), but even 58 to 59 I got in 17 hours (http://grab.by/dfdq), which was 250k to level I think? Much less donation per day potential, yet that is just over 4 game days real world time, so an average of 42k per game day if I'd played each of them. But I don't remember if I did.
  As for how, I seasoned beans and donated them with EHSP mostly. I also rarely bought things, so there was also the XP gained from resourcing/gassifying/etc. Which is small, but in mass amounts adds up.

- Also don't forget petting and nibbling piggies are worth about 48 img each and then you have the meat to donate to shrines. I've found that mining helps as long as you keep your mood high. You can munch on rooksweed for that...it suspends mood loss for a while.
  Do you have icons? If not then emblems can be 'considered' for about 36 img each, each day. They are also good for other things too.
  And you are using extrememly hallow shrine powder for each donation.....right?
  good luck and don't give up....also get those coin multipiers if you have the img to do so

- Make potions, beans, or eggs, in large amounts, and donate them with EHSP. The Ancestral Lands are a waste of time for iMG if you really want to maximise your output.
  I have Arborology 5 and the x4 upgrade cards for all trees. I go out and harvest all the gas I need to make potions, I plant yellow crumb herbs and harvest them as often as possible. I make my own hooch with potatoes I grow. Making 5 yellow crumb essences gives me 100 img or so, and each Charades potion gives me another 100 iMG. I donate 30-40 per day with EHSP and get around 15k iMG. On top of that I get the iMG from harvesting from trees and the iMG from farming. You can do the same with seasoned beans I think.
  I get 50k+ iMG a day easily from this, and I'm level 26. I've only been playing for 3 weeks. I'll take a screenshot later, but those are my tips.
  e: also you should use the housing routes: http://www.glitch.com/groups/RHVP8CB5LHP2U8O/

- I would also like to know how long everyone plays a day? Do you actually play the entire 4 hours to make that much iMG or do you make that much in about an hour?
  Posted 7 months ago by TRB4 | Permalink
- My quoin multiplier is 124, tank of 5600, current level 48.
  At this time, my method to the madness is to t-port back and forth repeatedly between AL for quoin refills and home streets singing to butterflies, plus the icon reflect/revere. It takes about 2 hours of play to hit 70K iMG points and level up as often as every 3-4 days. It's pure grinding :P
  Even them I'm far behind Lucidess and Ygasuasu, who are level 58 and 57 respectively and leveling up in a day or less. Their quoin multiplies are close to 300.

- I'm not updating a pic, too much hassle for me on this pc but I find that if I make 40 seasoned beans I get 2400 img (xp!!!) plus if I donate about 85 of them approx I get around 10,000 img that's with the shrine powders. I normally make about 200+ beans a time when I do that but it's not often because it's dead boring.
  I mostly donated essences now, yellow and purple and my shrines are all at around 5000 so if I donate to 5 gods per game day to the max, I get 50,000 IMG just from donating plus 13,000 approx from reflecting on icons, plus all the extra IMG from collecting qurazy coins (if I can be bothered to go out and collect them). I pick up a lot of IMG too but just gardening. If I pass a plot that no-ones tended I'll always weed them as I get 10 IMG each time. Pigs are a good source too at the high skill. 48 xp each time for each pig.
  Edit: If you home street roam, always muck in and help if you see a project going. Even if you only put in a couple of bits, you'll still get an img reward when the project has been completed. Every little helps : )

- Okay, so I have no idea of the exact amounts, but this is my trial of some of the stuff mentioned in here. I must have eaten at least 30 awesome stews today.
  45,455 total
  24,242 from shrines
  21,213 from harvesting, nibbling, making and hatching butterfly eggs, making yellow flower tinctures, making charades potions, making fruit tree beans, planting, hoeing, some quoins, and 1 qurazy quoin
  Level: 33 to 34
  Brain Capacity: 41
  Quoin Multiplier: 19.5x
  Energy Tank: 1880
  Posted 7 months ago by Scarf | Permalink
- I'm level 47 and my quoin multiplier is currently at 71.9 so the qurazy coins give me 700+ IMG for each one too. That probably help, the regular IMG quions give me 83IMG I think and I can collect those 150 per day, not that I ever do. I'm mostly at home and on the home streets.
  Posted 7 months ago by ~Arabesque~ | Permalink
- Level 49 - Brain Capacity 60 - Quoin Multiplier 105.4x - Energy pool 7,440
  Here is my best so far 171,812
  Here is how I did it
  prerequisite is to keep getting emblems from giants and raising the maximum daily donation amount.
  I plant and harvest 3 herb garden plots and 3 Regular plots as often as possible in order to make animal youth potions and awesome stew for donating. I do huge batches!
  I use rookswort to keep my mood up all the time
  I run a pre designed route I created and use a program I created to set the next destination on my route (basically just drops a browser window down with the encyclopedia page for my next stop. I click set destination and it rolls back up out of my way and the next set destination button is revealed). My route takes me through groddle forest beans, ix spice and groddle meadow for fruit and bubbles. My street is also planted with beans and my friends with gas.
  When done with route I go to Ancestral lands total per run now averages 17,000 img and 30,000 currants (plus some more favor with giants) and energy is fully replenished (note: if I have an excess of energy before going I burn it off by singing to butterflies)
  Return home and empty my bags of all items i collected into sdb's (everything i pick up goes into sdb's and when a large enough batch of an item is ready I pull them out for donations). Music blocks I wait till I have 40 of one kind before bringing them along. Saves on shrine powder.
  Tend to gardens if necessary and craft depending on what resources I have available until my energy is depleted. then back to ancestral lands.
  To sum it up
  Max daily donations to shrines = 89,000 img
  3 ancestral runs = 51,000 img
  reflect on all 11 icons = approx 10,000
  which leaves 22,000 gained from the crafting, gardening, harvesting, etc!
  additional info -
  If I run short on donation stuff, I take the 90,000 currants from the ancestral lands + a little and buy 999 savory smoothies from Helga in Ix for donating. Total approx = 108,000 currants
  3 ancestral land runs per day and if necessary I use the potion that increases my maximum quoins by 50 for a total of 200. (I already have the card that makes it 150)
  I never need any other food or beverages other than 1 sprig of rookswort every 10 to 15 minutes and if I do some seriously heavy crafting, nothing that one of my get out of hell free cards doesn't instantly replenish!
  Occasionally I break from my routine to gather other mats like guano for my animal youth potions. or ore for shrine potions. When I gather guano, I make 200 rich tangines and gets me 600 guano at a time.
  I really have thought out my strategy quite a bit right down to items I craft so that resources don't overlap too much
  Bean Tree Beans = Gas, beans, spice, fruit - Made when I have excess of fruit & gas
  Piggy Eggs = Potatoes, Bubbles, eggs & fruit - Made when excess of bubbles
  tangy sauce for AYP's - is mostly tomatoes, eggs & milk
  Rich tangines for guano is mostly spice and meat
  AYP - gardens are always growing Gandlevery and purple flowers and they both grow fast
  Awesome stew - onions & parsnips while on in the daytime, potatoes and cabbage while I sleep cuz they take longer.
  Empty 4 piggy feeders and 4 milk collectors whenever full!
  That's about it!

- Urgle, are you feeding 200 rich tangines ALL AT ONCE to the batterflies, and then getting 600 guano all at once?
  Posted 7 months ago by Feylin | Permalink

- Whew. Last game day I played from around 3PM to around 5PM and earned a total of 222,951 iMG.
  All I can say is that I run around in the ALs a lot ;)
  I'm Level 52, have a quoin multiplier of 212, and a brain capacity of 60, not that that last one means much :P

- I got 40,703 iMG from reflecting my 11 icons once and cooking. Just harvesting, prepping and cooking. No donating, no bean seasoning, no quoin quollecting... just making tons of food :)
  Posted 7 months ago by Just Willow | Permalink
- My screenshot. 58,567 iMG.
  Level 40, 100/48 skills, 36.9 multiplier
  This amount was garnered from reflecting on 8 icons (I think my other 3 are still packed), making 200-250 each of 3 bean types and donating 34 beans x EHSP to one shrine and 71 beans x EHSP to another. I did it all in the last hour of this game day. Just imagine how much more it'd have been had I time to donate to more shrines!
  ETA: I did have the materials for the beans made up. I think I've had them made since before the house reset and only now used them. It would've taken me more time to grind up and gassify everything and then make the beans.

  brain capacity: 100/47
  quoin multiplier: 34.7x
  energy tank: 5050
  i don't like to grind/do the same tasks over and over, so it varies and i could probably earn more img, but recently earned 67,000 img: imgur.com/rVEov
  i like this loop: cebarkul =>flipside=>eastside=>westside=>louise pasture=>wander around groddle meadow=>wander around groddle forest=>the great hole to ix=>groddle ladder=>baby steppes=>guillermo gamera way=>cebarkul=>oktyabrya=>groddle forest.
  one typical itinerary (1-2 real hours):
  *early morning home ritual: eat 3 purple snocones, reflect on all icons, shake elements bag, redeal cards. collect butterfly milk from butterfly milkers. collect meat from collectors. collect hooch from stills and re-load with grain.
  *make earthshakers and flaming humbabas.
  *teleport to favorite mine or resource route, any place with good distribution of dullite and sparkly rocks.
  *drink earthshakers. mine rocks. drink flaming humbabas when grinding rocks for elements. make a few extremely hallowed shrine powder.
  *teleport to cebarkul. walk thru ix, harvest spice.
  *purchase general vapour and make a whole lotta fruit tree beans.
  *exit onto groddle forest, dust shrines with ehsp and donate fruit tree beans (about 42ish favor each).
  *collect different emblems until out of fruit tree beans. (also donate meals leftover from previous day). contemplate emblems.
  *collect beans, fruit, bubbles, grain while in the groddles. these can be made into flaming humbabas and earthshakers.
  *about 20 minutes til new game day: collecting spice on the way, head over to uncle friendly's emporium at guillermo gamera way. have a hoard of buns because uncle friendly doesn't sell buns, but buy other supplies. take nono. make expensive grilled cheese until almost kaput. around 220 expensive grilled cheese made. [alternately, make awesome stews at uncle friendly's if too many beans collected and not enough butterfly milk]
  *walk over to cebarkul and croak, plenty of glitches around to mourn.
  *if time before new day: after returning from hell, revere an icon to regain energy and walk over to groddle forest and dust & collect additional emblems using expensive grilled cheese (about 52ish favor apiece).

Being at level 57, I am able to get 140K iMG by donation (10% of the iMG gap between level 56 and 57). Every iMG I get is used for Quoin Multiplier upgrades.

- I played for two game days today--kinda--and I got +22K on the first and have no idea on the second, but I guess it's about the same. I don't have crazy multipliers. I think mine is at 19 right now. I just don't get those cards.
  That being said, it's eye-opening that so many of the above, rarely actually leave their homes. Even if I stayed on my street, I couldn't get this. I only have 7 icons and I'm officially bored of trying to get more emblems for the rest. I only came back to the game at the end of April. I'm seeing people saying they collected +5K of items and I know I didn't even touch that on anything I collected today.

- +1 Dahlia DreadNaught I'm all about having fun in Glitch. I grind enough in the real world. I want my Glitch life to be as different as possible from my real life.
  I have often considered the relationship between Glitch life and real world life. For example, in the real world I am kind of fat and frumpy but in Glitch I love to be elegant. It makes me wonder if some of the very odd or scary avatars belong to people who are extremely beautiful in real life.
  I have mentioned before that in Glitch I can be very close to my daughter and cook for her and provide for her but in real life she is hundreds of miles away and very independent.
  So as part of that whole feeling of Glitch being a separate world, the last thing I want to do is make spreadsheets and daily to do lists and schedules.
  But the nerd in me really enjoys reading the results of other people's optimizations and strategies.
  So thank you all for telling us how you are getting such amazing results.

- I went back to my old house/street in Bortola (Venet Root Quarter) just to look around. My bean tree was dead so I "removed" it and got some planks for my touble. I had some different tree beans with me so I planted a wood tree. I did a tour of more addresses in Venet Root and removed dead trees, replanting as I went. I squeezed some chickens for music boxes, etc.) I ran out of beans so I went back the next day & visited every address to plant, water, hug & harvest. I got lots of iMG and over 1,100 planks in less than 1 hour.
  I hope other people can use these resources. I plan to do the same as I come across other old addresses.

- I have a question about donating to shrines: Is there a post somewhere explaining how much favour you will receive for donations. When I use EHSP I'm afaid of OVER-donating. Is that possible? Also, what is the value of an emblem as donation? I already have all 11 icons. I have spent the first emblem of each giant. I have used some to speed learning (if they are the primary for the skill). Besides contemplating, considering & caressing them each day - I don't know what else to do with them.
  Posted 7 months ago by Patricia | Permalink
- @patricia, use the favor saver: http://agent86ix.github.com/glitch/
  amount of favor depends on whether or not you sprinkle extremely or fairly hallowed shrine powder first, but that will help you figure it out how much favor you'll receive.

- I wonder if having a huge energy tank and quoin multiplier puts a player using this strategy into a position where they almost *have* to play a certain way just to accommodate the needs of those huge tanks - especially the mood one. What happens if they wake up one day and are tired of that way of playing?
  Posted 7 months ago by WalruZ | Permalink
- @WalruZ - I am not sure what you mean by "accomodate the needs of those huge tanks"?
  If you are referring to mood loss, then there is not much difference between 5000 and 25000 Energy Tanks: you should either use Rooksworth or upgrade your Energy Tank regularly.
  Other than that, I see only advantages to have a big Energy Tank and a Quoin Multiplier of 100x.
