Lagless AFK gold farm with 1M+ eggs

Introduction

UPDATE: This guide has been made obsolete by other builds, check out my updated guide instead (link).

I will not cover early Golden Egg farming as this is intended as a late-game guide. This method will however work for almost any Golden Egg amount.

This build is focused around minimizing lag and thus misses out on a lot of potential gold gains due to that. If you do not have any problems with lag, do check out this guide.

The Build

Run Big Trouser with 2 max weapons.

We run Big Trouser as he stacks greed on level-up.

Run Bone Zone with Hyper, Hurry, Arcanas, Limit Break, Inverse and Endless (all modifiers).

Some may say to not run Hurry as it makes the enemies tougher quicker. This is true but enemy density also increases for every cycle + we get a faster start. Damage should not be a problem as Crimson Shroud will one-shot nearly every enemy. + Mad Groove (VIII) triggers twice as often. Golden Fever does NOT have a shorter duration as its timer is counting real-time.

Start with Pentagram, Wicked Season (XIII), and purchase Mad Groove (VIII) from merchant. We will gather XP with Pentagram and level-up.

Pentagram has a 10% chance to not remove XP on start, guaranteed with enough Luck. Pentagram's evolution Gorgeous Moon is used as a weapon because it has minimal lag but also gives increased XP gain to faster achieve higher Greed.

Mandatory:

Pentagram

Laurel&

Crown

Stone Mask

Skull O'Maniac

Torrona's Box

Recommended (choose 2):

Attractorb (qol)

Clover (if you just want extra Luck to increase chance of getting coin bag from light sources)

Armour (inc dmg for Crimson Shroud)

Empty Tome (cap cooldown for better uptime, cap is -90%)

We will have 2 open passive item slots, which you can choose whatever you want but I recommend Attractorb + Clover.

When we have all our items we can pick up the Metaglios and Rings on the ground and level them up.

After we reach min 10 (will take 5 min) we evolve Pentagram and Laurel into Gorgeous Moon and Crimson Shroud. If you are having trouble opening chests, because of too much XP with Gorgeous Moon, you should wait to min 20 and pick up that chest to evolve Pentagram and Laurel simultaneously.

At min 11 we pick Disco of Gold (XV). If you want any other Arcanas, you can get those at min 21 and from merchant at min 30. Every 30 in-game mins a new Merchant will spawn.

It is now possible to go AFK. Note that if you have picked up chests that have not triggered yet due to levelling up, they can suspend the game once the levelling up halts.

When you are done with the run, you can purchase Game Killer (0) from merchant to halt levelling to enable opening of treasure chests.

In-depth Notes

Problems with Golden Eggs

There are two main problems with Golden Eggs at extreme amounts.

Buying Golden Eggs (fix as of ver. 1.3)

To bulk buy Golden Eggs, head north in Moongolow and trade with Eggman.

Requires at least 1M gold.

Movement Speed

To reset Movement Speed, head south in Moongolow and trade with The Healer.

Requires at least 25k Golden Eggs on chosen character.

Crimson Shroud

I have tried many different weapons and I have achieved the best in regards to lag with Crimson Shroud. This build does not have 100% uptime because of Crimson Shroud's requirement (tank incoming attack) to deal damage. It does however perform extremely well because of its huge aoe of multiple screens, similar to Gatti Amari, and insane damage. Crimson Shroud achieves this damage through the bonus to retaliatory damage from Armour.

Arcana

Divine Bloodline (IX) does not give any direct benefit to our damage as we will pretty much always be at max health. In the long run it can however give temporary increases in damage.

Silent Old Sanctuary (XX) can be used if you are not cap cooldown (-90%) or might (+900%).

Level-up speed

To get max level-up speed the most important part is Gorgeous Moon. It is difficult to achieve max level-up speed at low Golden Egg levels as Growth is very important in the calculation.

The key is to evolve to Gorgeous Moon prior to evolving to Crimson Shroud. One possible method to guarantee the evolution of Pentagram prior to Laurel is to open Treasure Chests prior to the 10 min mark in order to get the evolved present. You can then simply choose Gorgeous Moon and you will have it before the 10 min mark. This will allow Limit Break to freely add thousands of levels into Gorgeous Moon (without manually choosing it). Every limit break level for Gorgeous Moon will add 1 extra XP from produced gems, this then scales with Growth. For example Gorgeous Moon with +1000 levels and +5000% Growth will give you 51,000(1000*51) extra XP from gems produced from Gorgeous Moon. At high Growth a single tick from Gorgeous Moon will give you tens of levels.

At extreme XP gains it is important to gather everything necessary to complete the build before investing everything into XP gain as levelling up can prevent you from opening any treasure chest, which will prevent you from evolving Laurel. This can be achieved by picking up the min 20 chest as it allows evolution of multiple weapons.

Note that if you choose 'Always Random' when levelling Limit Break of Pentagram, it will cap out at +15, if you then choose 'Always Gold' it will NOT override further limit break levels once you evolve. It is paramount however to choose 'Always Random' when limit breaking prior to choosing 'Always Gold'.

Bone Zone

Because we are running Bone Zone you do not have to bother sealing any drops from light sources as Bone Zone can only drop coins and coin bags. Bone Zone also spawns double the amount of light sources compared to other stages. This will ensure that your Golden Fever is always up and running.

Enemies not hitting me

With enough curse some enemy types will move too fast to hit you, this will prevent Crimson Shroud from activating, suspending any gold gains. Gorgeous Moon can fix this by killing everything on screen every 15 secs, spawning a new set of enemies.

If you are using any other damage source on top of Gorgeous Moon and Crimson Shroud, for example Blood Astronomia or Greatest Jubilee, non-instant kill damage knocks back enemies from you, preventing Crimson Shroud from activating, and adding unnecessary calculations.

Possible improvements

It is possible to run Crimson Shroud without Limit Break in order to get juicy gold gains from levelling up. It will however inhibit your ability to increase XP gain through Gorgeous Moon, which can be detrimental in longer runs as your levelling speed will quickly diminish along with your damage.

Because we are not running Greatest Jubilee we are missing out on a lot of light sources, but because of lag reasons it is inefficient to use Greatest Jubilee on extreme curse levels. If you do not have problems with lag, you can opt to use Greatest Jubilee and scale damage elsewhere, this can greatly increase gold gain from coin bags and uptime for Gold Fever.
