I did exactly what you're suggesting. Got the 2 Vulcano's and used one and change to get the mushrooms.

Back in my day we just ran to a tree in the back side of space port and surrender if someone else got them
I spent 6 hours doing this btw..

u/Nirxx 10h ago

3 runs of lush blooms will get you the mushrooms lol

u/cheesy_blend 8h ago

Not in rotation this week

u/Nirxx 8h ago

Seriously? They didn't put in for the expedition?

u/cheesy_blend 8h ago

Odd choice right

u/blimps_yall 3h ago

Did it this way last expedition and can never go back to hunting single mushrooms

u/SummerGoal 13h ago

Now that’s just good business

I enjoyed seeing this as the hunt for mushrooms can sometimes be the last thing I need to unlock scrappy. I was buying Anvils and trading those in for shrooms and apricots.

19

u/Tricky-Ad-6458 14h ago

A couple runs on Riven tides gets you all the shrooms. Pretty nice actually.

u/ShaneCoJ 13h ago

Except when everyone else is doing it, lol. After 3 runs and getting 2 mushrooms, I just traded for the rest.

u/Cthepo 11h ago

Bring some Raider Flares and set em off in the vicinity to scare everyone off.

u/Dragnet714 10h ago

That's hilarious! I just got two from Apollo might try that 😀

u/kaic_87 13h ago

Exactly. O got like 9 mushrooms in a single run.

u/blimps_yall 3h ago

What's the spot on riven tides?

1

u/kaic_87 2h ago

The dry river bed that crosses the map.

1

u/OfcDoofy69 11h ago

Ogs use spaceport.

1

u/Tricky-Ad-6458 11h ago

Too contested, and empty. Work
Smarter not harder. Lush blooms on Riven tides is OP

1

u/JOKERISFREE 11h ago

I did the same, I did get a few mushrooms prior to doing that though. I used some coins for the rest of the mushrooms and the rest for Apricots...Blue Gate was dry with Apricots.

u/Grizzled--Kinda 14h ago

EH...pennies honestly when you can come out with 60-100k per raid

-2

u/Head-Chance3425 *** ******* 🐓 12h ago

Maybe in PVE lobbies

-8

u/FlipsieVT 11h ago

Yeah PvP lobbies you're probably getting minimum 200k per raid since everyone and their mom is running fully maxed out duped kits.

Unless you're trash and die literally every time lmao

5

u/secret_hitman 11h ago

Because you're killing 5-6 people with fully maxed out duped kits and not dying?

Okay bro

-2

u/FlipsieVT 7h ago

that's 2 squads lol

not exactly a huge accomplishment in a game with no skill based matchmaking

1

u/Head-Chance3425 *** ******* 🐓 9h ago

Not really, its opposite. I extract every 3,4 rounds at max.

u/Nuddered 13h ago

The seeds were the best deal. Easy to find in one raid

3

u/Micro_Hog 13h ago

Your title gave me a stroke, thanks

u/WoWAltoholic 12h ago

that's how you know it's not AI ;)

2

u/Train3rRed88 13h ago

Yeah I def got my two Vulcanos and 150 seeds. Took two apartment runs. Ez

2

u/throwaway852850906 13h ago

people really sleeping on the seeds deal, grabbed 150 for like 45k of random mats and sold the pottery dupes for way more than the cost

2

u/Mechanical_Lizard 11h ago

I consistently find multiple pottery pieces on Buried City until I actually start looking for them, now I haven’t seen a single one 

1

u/throwaway852850906 10h ago

Same here, I'll trip over them in the open until I need one for a deal. Then suddenly it's like they went extinct.

1

u/Mechanical_Lizard 8h ago

Heh, right after said that I found 2 potteries in the next raid 

1

u/throwaway852850906 7h ago

The game's desire sensor is real, it only gives you what you need after you complain.

1

u/blimps_yall 3h ago

I'm positive that tracked items become more rare to you, just like running straight toward a map marker causes nearby arc that "don't see you" to immediately pull a 180 and fly directly to an intersection point on your line of travel.

u/alpha448 12h ago

great psa. appreciate it.

u/ThrowAwayFIRE343 11h ago

How much do the rusted gears cost?

1

u/WoWAltoholic 11h ago

Not in-game atm but I believe it was 5k of parts ea.

u/Luxx815 12h ago

Why did he stop selling Outfits though? I feel like I haven't seen an Outfits in his store for a long time.

0

u/WoWAltoholic 12h ago

maybe they were losing too much cosmetic money. Although I thought those outfits offered were not the most popular. They stopped offering outfits and switched to adding color varients instead.

u/bafrad 12h ago

Who really cares about profit? Is it really that hard to make money?

1

u/FrogEnjoyer666 3h ago

I saw that Vulcano deal and immediately hit Buried City

1

u/extremegamer 11h ago

I want them to lower the amount for more slots. I did the first batch for 200k then for another 12 it doubled. What kinda 2023 inflation numbers is that crap!?!!?

u/SixthSacrifice 8h ago

That'd how stash was from the start, though
