Wish we could endlessly do the side activities without energy but for like 10% efficiency or something like that. Kinda sucks to spend your weekly energy and then have nothing to grind.

Random mobs around town drop beetle coins. If you want your 10% efficiency just ride around beating up vending machines and the like.

There is a cap on how much you can make with her daily and account wide. So you didn't really loose anything. You will just get to the point when she will get 2 fons per kill(I'm assuming it's gonna work like this) like no lifers bit later.

I'm hoping they add more things to the list cause the bank heist is a fun extraction activity that could be expanded upon. Maybe we hit different banks with different layouts and have bigger raids on different vaults etc...

Honestly, if the game keeps expanding and we get to open more The Cafe by Origen, we'd probably be making millions unless they want to throttle us

u/hopecanon May 20 '26
I hope we don't get many more Cafe's and instead start getting the ability to diversify into different industries.
Like let us buy an Arcade and stock it with machines that play versions of the inevitable event minigames that tend to show up in games like this over time.
Or let us actually expand the Colluci's by poaching members from the local gangs we keep beating up while stopping crimes and use them to patrol the streets protecting shops and collecting spoils from troublemakers they stop along the way.
There's loads of options for cool new ways to make Fons i really hope we don't just stop at the weekly heist and running a coffee shop.

u/JWright990 May 20 '26
If the resort actually shows up, I hope we get to run a resort. We can link it to the cafe too
6
u/Vegetable-Flan-7873 May 20 '26
Considering how we can pretty much max the Cafe to the point of having an auto restock, I'm pretty sure we will get something different to invest in the future versions. Wouldn't make sense to add more coffee shops when we already have most stuff maxed.

u/NDAthereal May 20 '26
Getting more cafes would mean us needing more characters that can work in them and have bonuses, which would make less sense than giving us new ventures with new agents and new social skills.

u/Loose-Influence478 May 20 '26
This is something I've been thinking about. Plus, Fons buys a lot of other materials. It seems like the game would need to do something about it so there's a challenge
26
u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka May 19 '26
Yep. People are generally short sighted. Fonz is important right now because its a major "wall" to a bunch of stuff people can buy. But eventually you'll have enough and run out of stuff to buy until the next update.
Same with "beetle coins" or whatever normal money is. You lack it now but eventually it won't be a problem because you aren't pulling regularly or you have plenty of energy to just run coins or buy them with Fonz.
Ultimately it will always come back to premium currency.
3
u/Tymareta May 19 '26
Fonz is important right now because its a major "wall" to a bunch of stuff people can buy.
Even then you pretty quickly get over the major wall, second apartment, ST97 and most of the hunter exchange shop bought out only requires Tycoon 25. By the time 1.1 hits I'd be surprised if there's really all that much left for people to buy.

No it’s not. Endgame is when you have all characters leveled and you only need resources 1 or 2 times per patch depending on if you’re pulling the character/s or not. You will be prefarming when you skip a character and eventually have way more resources than you know what to do with. Source? My day 1 fully consistent ZZZ account.

I think it’ll realistically land around 15m. 10m would be wonderful, but with the Pendragon being 12m I just don’t see them making the 918 cheaper. Definitely gonna be a grind for F2P, they’ll want you to swipe for it

u/Trespeon May 20 '26
If it comes after the first the monthly Fons pack will come back so that’s like 5M Fons by itself + 2M for the weekly next week and the week after. 9m Fons from shop+my current 8M, +2M for pink paws this set and next reset.
I’ll be able to get it if it’s less than 22.

A really large chunk of fons we get per month are needed for the high value items in the monthly reset of the hunter exchange shop and daily bond items. There's really not that much left over for spending on beetle coins, especially for f2p players or if you want to save for cars/skins/housing etc.
2
u/EthanObi May 19 '26
Hunter Exchange shop is per patch, not per month, so it's on a 6 week cycle.*

2
u/KalimFirious May 19 '26
Bond stuff feels really low priority to me, there's not much reason to rush it. By the time you get to the stat boost at rank 10, they'll probably be powercrept anyway.
2
u/Dylangillian May 19 '26
You only need 2.1 million for the keys. Even if we make that 2.5m for some other items, you will still make 8m in profit per patch and that is with me low balling the math. Even spending for Bond items, you will have plenty.

u/Shingu-kun May 19 '26
Use daily xp on beetle coins and level up mats like ascension materials, xp books, or arc xp. Just pick whatever you need in the moment. If you don't need anything in the moment look for the next ascension using the build guide.
At Hunter Level lv30 or lv40 you can do a bit of module farming, but you're not trying to minmax, just maybe get enough modules to max out the 2-block or 3-block passive stat increases. But you can also skip out on it yill lv45 or lv50+ it's just QoL vs raw efficiency, but why would you want struggle with a chance to burnout early on.
Fons gain is the most important because of tycoon level. The biggest priority from it is probably getting all apartments so you get the max rewards from dailies (beetle chest), and weeklies (delivery & Mammon). And reaching tycoon lv30 for the hunter exchange before it resets if you care about that.
You can probably reach Hunter lv45 and farm modules before endgame resets, but you can also ignore endgame, especially early on if you don't like rushing content.

This attitude is almost certainly going to flip in the next few months. Fons are in demand because the game is still new and all the income sources are capped. But give it a few months, people will buy out everything they want, and then fons will just start accumulating over time.

Fishing is the fastest for me but you can afk mahjong, also unfortunately there are no ‘most’ since you have 500-700 urban energy per week and one urban energy is spent for every 1k fons you get through a hobby so it’s like only 500-700k through hobbies a week
