Guides

Last updated Jan 12th, 2021 Revamping the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2738582]previous revamp[/url] of the Baldwin level efficiency guide by @Totsugeki who revamped it originally from @TabbyTomCat For a guide for people low on resources check out @Arcticfox98 's [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2884586]Guide[/url], it also has the % outcomes when transmuting materials. Green is the most common of Goo, Ooze, and Sludge. Grey Slime and Copper Muck are most common for the slime and mucks. As a resource I have all of my raw data [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hJIVvQgle9wyCTInqHcfks4yT2Pe6TEoRx_EbIak5mA/edit?usp=sharing]here in this google sheet [/url] should you want to take a look or if I become inactive, more updates come around, and you want a base to start your own sheet. [quote][u][b]Warning![/b][/u] This guide is expensive and just assumes you have all the resources needed to brew everything. I'm looking at the raw numbers of [u]experience gained per minute[/u] so you get the most bang for your buck in every brew. If this is too expensive for you I suggest opening your cauldron up to other players for free (minus the mats and treasure cost of brewing of course) so you don't have to spend anything to level. Sometimes the most "efficient" way to level is just to have literally anything in your cauldron at all times.[/quote] LET THE GUIDE COMMENCE! If I've gotten anything wrong please let me know! All material quantities are for a single brew of a given item. Total material quantities for a full 1-27 run are[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2918575#post_44914229] in the second post[/url].

Thank you for including the resource totals! I was prepared to sit down and crunch the numbers myself but then I saw I didn’t have to.

oh wow this is really useful... ive just been transmuting materials and wondering why my baldwin level wasnt going up

Great guide! I would find this very helpful if my cauldron wasn't maxed already.

@JinxFlux

Wouldn't some of the gene brews end up being better than the webfiend cave scene between lv 10 and 20?

Skink/Spinner (veilspun) lv 11
2500 xp / 7 hrs = 5.95 xp/min

Stitched/Patchwork (veilspun) lv 12
3000 xp / 7 hrs = 7.14 xp/min

Stitched/Patchwork lv 14
3250 xp / 7 hrs = 7.74 xp/min

Beetle (veilspun) lv 18
3700 xp / 7 hrs = 8.81 xp/min

I'm not sure if I misunderstood anything, and if I did, please excuse me!

@ZnowyOwl
I have yet to add the Veilspun genes into my sheet or calculate their xp/min but I shall do so. And apparently stitched and patchwork too, whops! I shall update that. Thanks!

You're correct, they are better.

Edit: I have updated the guide! Thank you for prompting me to do so. :)
