![]() Keep your low quality fish like Carp and Chub for making Deluxe Quality fertilizer and use this to grow lots of Gold Star Produce and sell them for a pretty penny! I recommend using these with lots of costly seed produce such as Pumpkins and Melons, compared to "No Star" quality produce making them Gold Star almost Doubles the sale amount! I recommend using it with Strawbarries or Bluebarries as they grow and regrow very quickly and make good jam. Ultimately the Mushroom cave saves you lots of time and energy deep down in the dangerous mines, which will be there long after the bundles are completed.Ĭollect lots of Coral and tap your Oak trees for Oak Resin so you can craft tons of Deluxe Speed Grow fertilizer, it's extremely useful for growing a ton of "No Star" produce which is fine because you can make ungodly amounts of Jam or Wine which doesn't have a quality tier anyway and it sells for a pretty profit! You can age Wine afterwards though as long as you have a Cellar. The purple mushroom is the rarest, it will show up pretty often. The Mushroom Cave produces 6 mushrooms every day! They are also used in multiple bundles. It is recommended when the time comes, to go with the Mushroom Cave over the Fruit bats. They're used in multiple bundles and the Pomegranet is the most valuble fruit in the game. It is recommended that the first fruit trees you buy are the Apple and Pomegranete. These seeds take the entire season of Fall to grow but are referred to as the most profitable Fall crop if farmed correctly! Go to the carriage shop in the Cindersap forest ( South of your farm) every Friday and Sunday to buy a Rare seed, every weekend until Fall. It takes 2 days to upgrade meaning you water for the current day, upgrade your Watering can, sleep, go mining while its raining (Recommended) and then pick it up the day after when Clint is in his shop and bam! you got an upgraded Watering can and you didn't even miss a day of watering! you're welcome. Check to see if it will rain and if it will, upgrade your tool. Starting early is key but don't get yourself hurt cause you will "forget" the last 10 floors you covered.įor example, if you need your Watering can upgraded. If your "Luck" for the day is good I suggest hitting the mine. Queen of the sauce is where you learn a majority of your recipes. Living off the land has fantastic tips for new comers. The Fortune teller will let you know what "Luck" value you have for the current day.

So here, we should just have Kizaru showing off a light-based attack, rather than him transforming into light energy. I mean, even the Suna Suna no Mi shows Crocodile forming a sandstorm, rather than him transforming into sand. Subrosian 04:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Ĭan't we have a picture of him using either Yata no Kagami (transportation through reflecting) or Ama no Murakumo (light sword) instead? This pic of him lying on the ground with light energy doesn't really look too impressive when you compare it with other pics of other Logia users. Well, since you guys suggested that the time Kizaru is reforming himself with light particles would be a good picture, I tried my hand at actually getting something done since no progress was being made with that otherwise terrible picture before it. Or we can have him from a different fighting pose all together. The angle on the kick could be a lot better. One-Winged Hawk 07:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC) We should change the photo now we have screen chances to see him in action. ~~Daniel Not you - others, myself sometimes included in that. If it gets changed again, I'm done with Kizaru all together. I've tried doing this w3ith numerous fruit powers on several occasions.

Like its siblings the Super, Pro, and Twin (the original, lower-powered Twin at least), the Bandmaster’s circuit employed the split-phase (a.k.a. In fact, that it also sported a Middle control was the least of its differences. It had a firmer, more-advanced output stage, a stouter 5AR4 rectifier tube, a bigger output transformer, and put out a significant 40 to 45 bold watts as opposed to the Bandmaster’s roughly 28 watts (often rated at 35 on paper). The Bandmaster has often been written of as “a tweed Bassman with three 10″ speakers instead of four,” but it’s very much not that, and in plenty of important ways, in the same very real proportions as the Super and Pro are different from “a Bassman with two 10s or a single 15.” While it might have been “just a 10″ speaker bigger” in its configuration, the Bassman was truly a step up into big-amp territory, intended as it was for enduring the rigors of amplifying the four-string electric bass. ![]() The only originality glitch in our feature amp appears to be a mismatched pair of 6L6GCs, but eh, that’ll happen – a tube fails, and you pop in what you can find (we’re guessing the small-bottle Realistic was a stop-gap… Bought any tubes at Radio Shack lately?). Indeed, some of the filter caps and that selenium rectifier – all well past their expected lifespan at this point – might need to be replaced if this is intended as a “player,” but it’s great to see them still in there, and in this condition. There’s no evidence of excessive heat wear on the chassis, board, or power resistors, and those beautiful yellow Astron coupling caps and orange-brown Astron filter caps, salmon-pink “domino” cap, and turquoise selenium rectifier all look like they just left the factory. If it’s been played, it doesn’t seem to have been played hard, or long. ![]() The tweed and grille are bold, untarnished, and untorn the badge and control panel clean and unpitted and inside the chassis… whoa, does it ever look sweet in there, as well as totally original. You might not call it “showroom” or “mint”condition, but it’s all the more appealing for that – just a tiny ding here and there, the very slightest fraying at some of the lower corners of the cabinet, a mere haze of dust on the speaker frames, some wear on the handle to show it was actually played, and that’s it. And as considerable as it is for the 5E7, the context makes this exceedingly clean 1956 example all the more precious. Not that vintage values can be disregarded. Any effort at practicality aside, it’s indescribably, esoterically, somehow ephemerally cool, regardless of its astronomical vintage value. It’s got more beef than a single 12 or two 10s, while retaining the faster, more-detailed 10″-speaker attack that the 1×15″ Pro might lack, and remaining more compact and portable than a 4×10″ Bassman or 2×12″ Twin. Yet, as pointless as the Bandmaster might seem when considered amid the Fender line of the day, there is something strangely glorious about this configuration. It’s utterly whack, right? Especially when you consider that the amp that carries them is the same under the hood as its siblings with a single 15″ speaker or two 10s (other than that the output transformer was wound to match the odd 2.7-ohm speaker load). Wedging another between it all, a combo with three speakers no less, would seem utter madness yet that’s precisely what Leo Fender felt he needed – and precisely the amp, in the form of the 5E7 Bandmaster combo, that sends collectors gaga today. And that, you’d think, would have nicely rounded out an amp maker’s midsize/larger offerings. ![]() Hitting the mark between the two, plenty of blues players in particular have declared the toothsome utility of the 1×15″ Pro or the 2×12″ Twin, while Tele-twangers and others have lauded the 2×10″ Super. Two decades ago, when renewed appreciation of Fender’s narrow-panel tweed amps of the late ’50s really started to boom, the Bassman was generally considered king of the heap, with the 5E3 Deluxe winning fans among players who wanted to “crush it” in smaller rooms.
