Suppose you want a gelatinous cubeling. You can buy one in the mall. The cheapest is currently 420,000.
An alternative is to farm one up yourself, one fat loot token a day, for 27 days.
In order to make that efficient, you need the three items that the cubeling drops.
Without them, 13 turns a day (skipping chests).
With them, 1-5 turns per day (also skipping chests).
Turns out, those items are tradeable - and some are remarkably cheap. There are hundreds of Pick-O-Matic lockpicks available for 100 each.
Who knew?
I needed a script for this. So I wrote one, which assumes you have the three items: eleven-foot pole, ring of Detect Boring Doors, and the lockpicks.
I'm willing to consider not requiring that you have the ring, say (which will make every run take 5 turns, since you won’t skip any monsters). But this is what currently works for my multis, so I provide it for your amusement.
