Potion Grinding

I had an obsolete potion grinding guide on my sidebar so I fixed that by replacing it with a not-obsolete guide (it turns out it is now feasible to get 1033 potions done in about 8 hours from scratch).  I will make a post about growing yellow crumb in the new world soon.

Vendor Prices Update

The new vendor prices regime is in.  They still have variable markups but regardless of those markups they all buy from you at 66% of the list price.  The tool vendor is still at 75% but apparently that will move around in the future.  I've updated my vendor price page.

Dung-Kicker Drops

There are so many questions to ask about the new gardening potions that it is hard to know where to start.  So when I was recently asked whether Dung-Kicker Drops were an efficient way to speed up Yellow Crumb production, I welcomed the direction.

Complete Insanity

Something I've been meaning to do for a long time is reshuffle a bunch and get some data on the frequency of various cards.  I reshuffled 100 times, buying everything that wasn't energy and saw a total of 1008 cards.  Of those, I had the following:

+20 Energy: 86
+50 Energy: 92
+100 Energy: 96
+500 Energy: 26
Get out of Hell Free: 59
Reshuffle: 58
Event Tickets: 591

Cheese photo contest

I decided to start a little activist campaign to rebalance Cheese, and it seems the best way to do this is to have a snaps contest.  You can check it out in the general forum.  I hope to get lots of submission to show public support for this issue.

Cheese is Insane

Obviously there is a lot of talk about the new player experience right now, so I thought I'd say something that has to be said: Cheese is insane.

Gardening Efficiency

diaveborn ♥ asked about the efficiency of gardening in the forums, so I thought I would do some experiments.  There was little chance that it was going to be anything but efficient to grow yellow flowers, but it's always worth getting exact quantities.
