[@HYPER_BRUH_]

@@mythlessrwf but in theory you won't need as many different pieces of gear because you can change the main ability (for a ridiculous amount of chunks but still) So you can find some clothes you like the looks of and make the entire fit(s) to your liking.

[@Katie-hj5eb]

You cant stack 2 shared gold tickets, buya shared gold and a shared exp can be active at the same time, so if your playing with friends two people can give all 4 both.

[@polymerwario]

So two people each get one shared gold and one shared xp?

[@khaseem_srt]

That is really big brain😅

[@LilCheesyBean]

I’m guessing then the other people on the team could use the ability drinks and have 3 effects on at once?

[@Muyo10]

@@LilCheesyBean yes

[@MusharnaMush]

So wait 1 use g, one uses xp and the other 2 are free for whatever right?

[@spaceman_256]

Worth mentioning that the amount of gold you get from salmon run can vary greatly. Ive seen shifts that gave me absolutely none and some that gave me gold in almost every capsule

[@mikevisby8744]

The nice thing is you can also get food and drink tickets from salmon run. I am using drink tickets to farm ability chunks on my splatfest tee, so they are quite useful.

[@freddyvasquez3063]

Yes but you have to hope for competent team mates

[@squiddler7731]

I'd also like to point out: in splatoon 2 you were able to get tons of extra money by grinding salmon run past the main rewards, but in 3 this isn't the case anymore. In 2, you'd get a bunch of duplicate gear which could be traded for either 4000 cash, one gear chunk, or three chunks depending on how many sub abilities the gear had, but now in three the gear _always_ has sub abilities (either 1 2 or 3). So for players that play a ton of salmon run, they'll end up with much less money from it than they used to get from in 2 (but way more ability chunks by comparison)

[@C0deXANA]

Salmon Run is my friend and Is favorite mode and we're both suffering 😭

[@averagetetoenjoyer]

Probably because our employer is kinda in space

[@Dracattack]

Honestly I prefer the chunks. Once I get my gas mask I'm pretty much set for clothing lol

[@Colin-dk4ym]

still one of the best ways to get money, gold capsules

[@lol-ih1tl]

If you buy every piece of gear, every Hotlantis item 10 times, make every piece of gear 5 stars and unlock every title and banner, then the only use for cash will be for scrubbing and using the Gacha machine for tickets.

[@exile1523]

This will only take about eternity

[@adriannavale5636]

Was this supposed to be a big brain way to get money? Because you kind of skipped the whole making money part.

[@blessedstellaronhunter]

Just an fyi that one of the possible superbonuses in Salmon Run is just straight-up 32k coins. For comparison, raising a gear’s star power by buying it from the shop to unlock the FINAL sub-ability slot costs 30k.

[@KeifferAustin167]

This is great info! We also need to know how greatly the sub skill drinks effect the ability on a piece of gear! The best (and craziest) method to find this out might be to play 1 turf war game on 20 outfits of new clothing, so that your next 20 battles with the effect on will always level up your hat, shirt, and shoes. That's 60 new abilities, and a good sample size to test how greatly the drink effects new abilities. Another, more reasonable method, is to use the splatfest shirt and drink the same sub ability drink 3 - 5 times. Every 2 turf war games you should be able to scrub the shirt (with a minor loss in coins). So you could have 50 data after 5 drinks

[@VaskoGames]

Great idea! Thank you for also suggesting the fresh clothing thing for 20 battles, its a great idea and will speed up collecting data so much!!!

[@celestialTangle]

*Hold it!* In Splatoon 2, Ranked (now Anarchy) gave more coins at higher ranks. I believe the same is the case in Splatoon 3.

[@VaskoGames]

Good point, I did this in A rank, but recently ranked up to S, and the rewards are still the same. I will double check on it when I get to S+ and when X rank comes out, but for now it looks like the money gain is the same regardless of rank.

[@freddyvasquez3063]

That’s sos tupid

[@tokki_]

Something you failed to address is the fact that splat zones in anarchy tend to result in fast K.O.s much more often, so you are more likely to get shorter matches and more likely to get K.O.s, making it the superior farm for both money and XP.

[@Dethneko]

Except every match needs a losing team, so it's only profitable if you're consistently on the winning team. Otherwise it's a money trap.

For me personally I found that playing ranked modes I'm good at in solo queue, usually not clams, solo clams is a nightmare. And having a coin boost on as well as everytime salmon run resets I play to 1200 minimum to get all the non gear rewards. As for spending this is what I reccomend. Buy every shoe, shirt, and headgear that you dont own and slowly get atleast 2 stars for all of them when they reappear and only get the 3 star on ones you're commonly using and then use the 5k in the capsule machine daily, doing this you should never be bone dry on gold

Just remember to get the yellow bonuses for Salmon Run. If you're lucky, you can hit 32K per one. And Yellow Super Bonuses are guaranteed 32K! So if you aren't too big on Salmon Run, check the rewards to see if a super is yellow.

[@HYPER_BRUH_]

Question for maybe a future video; The most efficient way of farm chunks. Grizz co. or scrubbing and re-leveling max gear with boosters?

[@misomie]

If you're good at SR 10000% Grizzco. Once you hit the higher hazards you get rewards significantly faster. Especially since scrubbing is so expensive. You do get gear to level up pretty quickly with tickets and Anarchy but that 20k burns your wallet. Splatfest tee is the exception. Also this is with only basic level gear. Haven't tried it with the higher star power stuff yet. I'd love to see the math for it myself

[@Spencer-wc6ew]

I wonder if you could cheese this with a group of 8. You all circle the map with dynamo rollers the whole match. If you follow a pattern and don't fight, you could ink a huge amount of turf in total.

[@Splatoon_Kirby]

People have been doing a version of this with reflux, but its been confirmed this is against ToS and is a ban offense and there has been at least one ban for this.

[@harperawkward2390]

Would love to see a video on leveling up XP and catalogue next!, I really want to know what the fastest way to get that sweet sweet dab emote...

[@ZtotheMills]

Ever since the Splatfest began, I've been very curious about the data behind scrubbing your splatfest shirt, and which is the most efficient way to do it. 2k per scrub is peanuts so its easy to scrub it after 1 substat. [Which I assume is the most efficient.] But I'm curious about exactly how much time is being saved, compared to money wasted scrubbing after 1 each time, compared to waiting for 2. [3 is most certainly too much of a wait, but it'd be fun to know anyways] [When drinks are involved I have to assume scrubbing on the 1st is even better because lowering the needed XP each time means more rolls for the desired stat.]

[@misomie]

I don't know the actual math but I do a few things. If I'm playing solo I often go for 2 before scrub. If I have extra time and a lot of money or I just really hate the roll it gave me I'll scrub at one sub. Playing with one friend changes things. I'll almost never scrub 1 and often push the scrub to rotations. 2 though is a good one to shoot for if they want to do the same. 3 or full squad I almost only scrub at rotation or communication error just because reforming is annoying af. If we do want to farm chunks we usually just do it at 3. I haven't done any of the actual math, just what feels annoying or not and leaving to talk to Merch is very annoying to me. For actual math you can think of it as buying chunks. 2k a chunk, 1k a chunk or 666 a chunk. Scrubbing full gear has a better price point but level three is such a time stretch that 2 is probably your best bet. When using drink tickets in 2 I'd always scrub immediately if the first slot wasn't what I wanted. Probably gunna do the same in 3 once I actually have money

[@CobiaCrossink]

If you must play Anarchy Battles to earn more cash, you can try Splat Zones. In my experience, they are often the fastest. You might want to not play on open if your rank is higher in the other rotation. You can also get four cash tickets from the single player mode. But you have to go through the entire world to do so. That might not be the best use of your time. Salmon Run is your friend here.

[@oreomerchant6600]

[@Dethneko]

Yeah, this is the estimation I came up with. You're skill level determines how much cash you'll make per match, but unless you're getting consistent 1-2 min KO victories in anarchy then you're probably more likely to make more bank in turf war. My beginner's guide to Splatoon 3. Step 1: Play Turf War until Mr. Grizz will let you work for him. Step 2: Work for Mr. Grizz 40-80 hours farming chunks. Step 3: Buy a hat/clothes/shoe combination you like. Step 4: Play Turf War until you've unlocked all three ability slots. Step 5: Use the chunks you farmed from Salmon Run to reslot any abilities you don't like. Step 6: Play Turf War. Step 7: ??? Step 8: Profit.

Thanks for the great video! I'm looking into compiling some more detailed data on the game, so I was wondering if you had any math/data from your testing sessions I could take a look at? In particular, I'm curious how you ended up at the figure of 4.5 min for the average Anarchy match. I'm looking to see if I can both maximize my return for playing the various modes and learn some cool things to hopefully share with the community. Thanks!

[@VaskoGames]

I just recorded all the info the game gives me after a match and used that as inputs. The 4.5 for anarchy is because the occasional KO or getting KOed in the first 2-3 minutes of the match. I've noticed overtime rarely runs longer than a few seconds at the moment. Either way, the 4.5 works as a "better case" situation, using the typical 5 minute game in the calculations make Anarchy even slower for farming coins.

[@elmomertens]

(minor s3 story / side order spoilers) small thing but go and fly out your drone in alterna every day, and if you have side order go buy random item from cipher every day too! i have received 30000 coins from cipher, and according to the wiki drone has 10% chance of giving you 10000 coins! even if it doesn't give you money it can give you ability chunks or food/drink tickets.

[@nathankellogg2640]

Actually... if you've got 8 friends and you join a regular match by yourself. Then have your friends use the drop-in feature. You can all end up in the same lobby with just you and your friends. Then just have each other shoot straight towards each other at a range where neither of you are hitting any people. Just ink the ground. You can get up to 12k in a match from this towards both xp and gold but good luck finding that many people.

[@retro3909]

[@no-nukez]

This is interesting, but it’s unfortunate they decided to use “turf inked” as the sole factor for turf wars. This kinda forces grinders to play a more limited set of weapons. Not that a e-liter 4K can’t paint, but sploosh is almost always going to cover more turf in a given game.
