Hints and Tips to get you started:
----------------------------------
Written by Shadeofnight
Some Easy and Fast Tips to get you game moving and open up new features.
* You want to push for Reincarnation as your first target (and you might
as well trigger it as soon as it unlocks). This will allow you to start
earning reincarnation points, which can buy some very powerful bonuses.
You will find reincarnation (even ignoring the points you get for spending),
is the largest boost to your stats and income bare none for a long while.
* Do your Daily Quests for souls each day (they add up and you will have
everything you can buy before you know it).
* Whack has a few bonuses that are critical to get ASAP (the most important
one being Lower Cow Cost). It will take a bit of time to build up the points
you need for this, so do not be afraid to buy a lot of page one to make
later whack pushes worth more. There is also whack gear in later worlds
that will increase your score a crazy amount. You will also get some cow
reduction reincarnation bonuses you can buy around 750 RL (reincarnation
level).
* The first few sets of gear will be replaced fast, but even so, do not be
afraid to upgrade them(I would say starting with Tier 3, blue), as the early
tier materials are also almost worthless once you get 2 tiers above it
(which you will do lighting fast up to Tier 6). So using them on current
gear is actually better for you than saving them.
* Do not worry about making super powerful gear at first. You will ascend
before too long and you lose all of your gear (also another reason not to
save material forever). Good is the level of gear you are looking to get
unless you want to push whack very hard (as it does not reset when ascending).
* When you unlock cows, you want to buy your first cow right away (even if
you do not have all of the discounts as yet). Grind for it if you have to.
This is because when milk starts, it also generates residue which can give
you some very powerful bonuses, and the number of cows does not affect how
much residue you earn, you just need one to start the process.
* For soul purchases (if you are not buying a lot to start), I value the
class/potato/skull ones first as they are all straight up power increases.
Then I go for QOL auto potato/skull followed by auto material (which if
you are not near your computer that much this buy is actually one of the
more powerful QOL but straight up power boosts ones). This is then followed
by auto whack (I normally do not start with this buy as whack is very weak
until you level it a bit). Everything after that is mostly personal
preference, but you will aim to get it all sooner or later.
* As for challenges, you normally want to do the first one around the time
you unlock it, and it will not hurt you to do the first 2 challenges more
or less as they open (and you can always cancel a challenge if it looks
like it will take too long).
There is some debate on when do to challenge 3 and 4. If you do them right
when they unlock (before you ascend the first time), they will take 8 to 16
hours on average to complete. If you wait a bit of time to get stronger,
they will take a lot less time.
It is challenge 7 and 8 (before you ascend the first time), that have a rule
of thumb before trying. I recommend getting to calcium generation (which
takes a bit of time to unlock), before trying. Once you ascend the first
time you can do it with just high level brewing, and then later ascend more
you can do it the moment it unlocks.
* Once you unlock unlimited challenges I would personally ignore the “easy
labor begone”, as you will almost never use it. The Medium labor one is
nice, but it takes a while before you can push it that far. The reason for
this is the medium will turn on after you finish a challenge, but the easy
will not. And you should almost ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS start a new run with
the unlimited challenge for that class, as it would be very rare for you
not to be able to push at least one more state each time you cycle back
to that class for higher bonuses.
* Talents have all kinds of options and what you buy depends on what you
are pushing at that moment, but with that said, unless you are pushing gear/
wurm/milk/brewing, the two most important stats most of the time are class
and reincarnation. Class is the base stat for reincarnation, and reincarnation
speaks for itself. I personally like the 3K Hoer area as my primary target
(and I try to get to it from everywhere once I get into RL 4k). The bonus to
both class and con is just so powerful it is hard to justify anything else.
Then I start to go for the Farm 3k (as a bit of bonus to everything is normally
overall powerful, rather than focusing on one thing, unless that is the point
of the entire run).
* Some people like to focus on getting multiple milk or brewing bonuses (there
are all in the 3k areas), but I find once I have brewing unlocked, that one of
each is all I need most of the time, until I max reincarnation bonuses.
* Do not forget your 2 15 point unique talents per class. They are all very
nice, but the 3 more powerful ones are the wurm/gear/milk bonuses. If I am in
those classes, those 2 talents are always bought.
* One trick to get the best gear is to do the highest level (medium or hard),
in the highest world you can handle, and then wait for the gear buff to kick
from whack. Then you can turn on your gear potion, for double bonus and get
the best gear of that run.
* Other tips: Each higher difficulty increases the number of stages you can
go in a world by 100 (100 for easy, 200 for medium and 300 for hard). You
will also earn more class exp in a higher level difficulty at a lower level
stage most of the time. This means for a boost to your reincarnation, you can
do all of the medium you can for higher waves beat bonus”

Advanced Game Tips:

-=Everything All at Once=-
After a few ascensions in Farmer Against Potato Idle (FAPI) you may be wondering
how you can speed it up and be higher on the leaderboards. This guide is for you!
This is NOT an in-depth guide. This is a list of things you can/should be doing
to make fast progress in the game. Mastering FAPI is a combination of many small
factors. Skipping even 1 often means much slower progress. This is a good starter
list for progressing quickly up to A11+. Don’t skip items! This guide contains
game spoilers. If you don’t want to see late game content then stop reading now.
* Have a good team. Your pet teams should cover as many bonuses as possible. Pet
bonuses are a huge factor in making fast progress. An ideal team might be something
like Esus, Vishnou, Tock, The Governess, Garuda, Itzamna. This gets you 14 pet
bonuses. Better teams are teams that can boost pet attack or other aspects of
expeditions. You can find those teams in game guides or spreadsheets on the FAPI
discord server.
* Use multiple teams. You will want a generic team that covers most bonuses. You
will then want a specialized teams for collecting worms/larva, reincarnation
points, item farming, milk farming, whack scores, etc.
* Make sure all the pets you use for your teams are permanently in expeditions.
You will want those pets to be as high rank as possible. Fill out your expedition
teams with the best pets and make sure all your key team pets are always running
expeditions to increase rank 24/7.
* Cover all the important bonuses. Missing even one bonus can hurt a lot. For
example, I was using a team that didn’t have a confection pet and it took me 2
extra days to clear ascension 10 because of it. If you are missing key bonuses
you will need to add pets that have those bonuses from time to time or you will
fall behind.
* Spend your talents correctly. Generally, you will want to spend your talent
points in the order of priority. Get all the reincarnation nodes trained first,
then residue nodes, then class xp (can be moved down the list a bit if needed),
then pet xp, then milk, then max potatoes and skulls. Each class and run should
use a similar talent priority so that you aren’t wasting time doing runs without
getting reincarnation levels (RL).
* Always check to make sure your reincarnation team is equipped before you
reincarnate.
* Update your equipment often. I usually farm a new set of gear every day. Your
item scores should be going up about 50%+ per day. Always try to farm gear from
key HARD levels such as 3-9h, 4-9h, 5-9h, 6-1h, etc.
* Keep your runs under 12 hours long. Efficiency drops off a cliff at 12 hours
because your score multiplier slows to a crawl.
* Join the discord server and follow the chats. High level players often give
tips there every few minutes. It is worthwhile for getting the latest game news
also and to learn about upcoming content changes.
* Level all your classes, but use Freeloader most of the time. Freeloader has
a bonus to how many items drop. These items let you level up your gear. This
makes Freeloader 2x or 3x better than every other class, You should do class
runs to level them up to keep them close to your top level in Freeloader, and
sometimes do class runs for worms or milk…but try to keep them short.
