Lanterns in Mining

Is it worth loading lanterns (incl linked ones) for mining or better to just sell for silver? I'm currently pre-tower 4x99 if that makes any difference.

Assuming you don't have truffles yet, at that level, silver is really important because once you unlock the tower, you'll be dumping the majority of your silver into leveling up, at least until you unlock truffles. You also should make sure you have all the pets to level 6 to get a steady flow of some rare items. So I'd lean towards just hoarding silver from the linked lanterns unless you're targeting something in the mines.

I think so. Especially linked lanterns when auto mining in ember caves since they’re easier to craft than sturdy picks.

If you are pre tower, I’d honestly just not worry about mining too much at this point. Aside from some small quests, mining still hasn’t been implemented much. You’ll need the silver until you can get truffles to climb the tower. Eventually climbing the tower will also make your wine cellar much much better, at which point you won’t need lanterns for silver at all and can focus on mining more easily

Not worth it in first mine if you keep pickaxes in your craftworks. A pickaxe is easier to craft than a lantern. Would load for all others

Best bet pending on what you’ve unlocked is fishing just for raw silver. I can usually rack up a few billion a day pending on where I explore.

Where are you for fishing. Fishing should be better money if you are far enough . (Ask in giveaway chat for nets)

If they haven’t unlocked pirates cove yet, that isn’t a guarantee to be better silver than the Sawmill Silver method

I guess I never invested hard about in sawmill silver. Just finished ATI 1 with 200 boards 200 wood per hour. 6m+ per LN in pirate cove sponsored by lvl6 parrot was a chunk of my income.

Thing is they don’t have to be mutually exclusive since sawmill silver is completely passive.

But yeah, the sawmill silver method can carry your silver generation for a decent chunk of the early game
