Tips and Tricks
From IdleOn MMO Wiki
This (hopefully) updating page is a hub for all various tips, tricks, advice, activies, purchases, actions, other that can help you progress through the game much faster, helping you gather and spend your resources with more efficiency.
GENERAL TIPS
- Usage of external calculators and spreadsheets is the single most useful thing you can do. There are several community-run external resources that can help you manage Tasks, Constellations, and even all of your builds!
- Always focus on getting more storage. When you think you have enough, a new event or rare drop can consume a lot of spaces. Luckily, the World 3 update (coming late April/early May) will feature a massive storage expansion. You can skip this tip if you have enough inventory space.
- In the early stages of the game, you'll need to upgrade your pouches A LOT! Many materials will be lost when you'll need to select the few items to keep. Most starting level pouches are Quest rewards, while upgrading them can be done through Smithing.
- Coins on the ground disappear after 20 minutes, while all dropped items disappear after an hour.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help in more specific things you might not fully understand yet! There are many people in the discord who are willing to Help you!

These tasks are directly exported from the #tips-n-tricks Discord channel, some cut for brevity!
Set 1 //
- You can double/triple produce items by tapping the same production item multiple times.
- Say "If u love me let me go" in game, and you will be teleported to the Spike Minigame, where you can win gems once per day! If you die on Round 1, you get another chance!
- Material bags increase anvil storage capacity!
- You can save tutorial oil and use it to actively smelt ores. Just remember to take it out right before the ore gets smelted or else it gets wasted.
- Active Skill talents, like Big Pick, affect the offline gain for their specific skill!
- Candy also boosts the time of that character's anvil, do not forget to collect your loot often when using candy.
- You can skip lower Tier pouches by going straight for the higher tier ones! Jump from T1 to T3 does not require Tier 2!
- Activate buff talents (they're the ones that appear in the top-right after use) before AFKing to increase AFK gains! They'll last the entire time you're gone, despite their small duratoins!
- You can remotely store materials from the production tab in the quick tab in codex
- You can weaken mobs before starting timed quests to make them easier.
- You can hold down the craft button at the anvil to create multiple of the same item. Make 100s of peanuts/other food in seconds!
- You don't have to click to gather the loot from the ground, just swipe your finger all over it!
- There is a [Quick Sell] button on the bottom left hand side of the shop menu. No more dragging items to sell.
Set 2 //
- You can reset a Post Office Order WITHOUT A PEN if you wait 3 days without completing it!
- Keeping reset potions as fragments and only combining when needed gives 1 more space in your chest.
- You should avoid the Tab 2 Talents that make Equipment give more of the specified STAT until much much much later in the game.
- If you are afraid about the Gem Shop and how exclusive the content may look, remember that you can always earn gems through many F2P options.
- You can store Anvil Produce items (Thread, Nails, etc) from ANYWHERE IN THE GAME by using the "Quick-Ref" codex feature.
- You can Dodge Amarok's sword attack by standing directly at his feet
- Turn ON auto move, but turn OFF 'use attacks while auto' in the options, while doing colosseum. This allows u to use your attacks at the best times, while not having to focus on tapping to move
- Open up Post Office ASAP, it has useful bonuses that only get stronger the more days you have it unlocked.
- You can take a 'loan' of up to 100 special talent points if you respec, invest into Star Player talent, spend those bonus points, and respec back. the spent points will still count towards special talents.
Set 3 //
- You can replace family obols before swapping to characters that will need them! It only matters what Obol is equipped right at the moment you swap to a character.
- Try buying the "Decent Quality Obols" from the Alchemy shop, there are some good Skill-type ones, like Mining!
- Don't always go for "big" upgrades -- sure, the t4 bow look friggin EPIC, but it costs 8k Bloaches, which could instead be used on the "Shaquracy" bubble in Alchemy which could be more beneficial overall!
- If you get an Inventory Bag that's covered by the 1st Merit Upgrade in W1, you can give it to your 1st character so that it's applied to everyone!
- Buying Gems in the Web Browser, not only helps the Single Developer, but also gives you more bang-for-your-buck. (LavaFlame2 gets 97% of your purchase on PC, but only 70% on Android or Steam!)
- Never keep Colosseum tickets, boss keys, gems or pens. They're "Account-Wide" items, so just hold down on them and they'll be added to your game-file no problem!
- You can get EZ fishing lvs! Just do the first 2 Whale quests from Whattso, only requires 20 goldfish and some minigame score!
- When doing the "Pack Mule Crafter" task, you can place food used for crafting in food slot for more space!
- Mystery Stones don't always upgrade stats... they have a rare chance to upgrade ANYTHING in the item's description (except Attack Speed/Range for weapons)
- Each pool of fish gives its own Depth Bonus! The farther left you go, the higher bonus you'll get to catch big fish, like Bloaches!
