Common Misconceptions
"Petal Wand is a core production tool"
Petal Belt provides 1.5x capacity leverage and 1.2x bomb leverage which contributes more
"Red/White hive is suitable for early endgame"
Blue hive costs 10x less and produces 10x more income
"Honey Mask is a must-buy"
Bubble Mask is cheaper with better stats
"Hive slots are not important"
Slots are the biggest leverage in early game progression
Never Use These Early
🔴 Critical
- Gold Eggs (5) - Save for Honey Mask
- Diamond Eggs (5) - Save for Diamond Mask
- Star Eggs - Save until all lower-tier gifted bees owned
🟠 High Priority
- Soft Wax - Needed for Porcelain gear
- Bitter Berries - Save for late-game gifting
- Loaded Dice / Smoothies - Major boost sessions only
Pro Tips
- First Spirit Petal = Petal Belt
+50% capacity and +20% bomb pollen provides transformative value. Petal Wand output is nearly identical to Porcelain Dipper.
- Bubble Mask over Honey Mask
At 35 bees, blue pollen dominates. Bubble Mask is cheaper with better stats for this stage.
- Blue Hive for Early Endgame
Blue hive costs 10x less and produces 10x more income than Red/White in early endgame. Switch to Red/White only at level 20+ with full gifted hive.
- Slots Are Leverage
Hive slots provide the biggest early-game ROI. Pause equipment purchases when slots cost 100-150M and buy them instead.
