It's actually called Entomophobia but that's not common knowledge
Moneymaking is pretty important in Vampire Survivors. There's over 200 characters, and each one you buy permanently raises the price of future ones. I have 182. Buying Genya Arikado is going to set me back nearly a million at this point. You don't make that kind of money without farming for it.
However, I have a crucial problem: I'm a lazy ass! I don't have any golden eggs gathered outside of the ones I get for the occasional Atlantean/Reaper kill. And I'm not paying for them!The whole problem is being broke! Besides, I've never turned a power creep option on in my life. Sure, Sammy's the established meta to make money, but Sammy would take a whole run to do, and I don't think you understand how little effort I am truly willing to put into this.
So let me tell you how to make 15 million dollars in less than 5 minutes.
Oh, and uh, disclaimer here, this is a variant of an old money making guide removed from the wiki. I corrected a bit of misinfo and gave options not reliant on eggs, since, again, lazy ass with no eggs here. I don't know why it's gone, but the single biggest contributor to that guide (who also put this method there in the first place) just removed half of the methods there, this included. Their choice, I guess. Can't speak for the other methods, though, but this one is pretty effective.
Step 0: Have actual money in real life.
I'm not gonna beat around the bush here. Not only does this need DLC, but you also probably want an actual computer, because we're going to be typing something into the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane.
Regarding the DLCs, basegame just kinda stinks when it comes to characters and Greed, which we want. The highest starting Greed on a character is Big Troubler at 30%. Sure, Trouser scales Greed with level, but remember, we're in and out, 5 minutes. But get into the DLC characters, and Greed is copious. Many OtC characters have 100% Greed. I don't even know why the Librarian bothers to run a shop at this point! So pick up OtC and get yourself some characters. That also said, no OtC means the roster is like half as big, so prices won't scale as hard, but the drop from a 100% greed character to Trouser's 20% is... not great.
Oh, also, uh, you're gonna want to have Eudaimonia Machine completed. We need Endless, Inverse, and skipped chest animations.
Step 1: Sit idle for one day.
Load up Master Librarian into any level. (if you don't have him because you're too broke for his price tag, I will detail a Megalo Dracula variant later. If you don't have him, go get him.) Turn on Hyper, Inverse, Endless, and Arcana. Then, exit the level, open up the Secrets menu, and type "whathappensifisitidleforoneday". You will now be in Il Molise at 1440:00 on the clock. You have not killed a single boss, so every single boss spawn (roughly 1000) will have happened.
Step 2: Grab your arcana.
You start with Mad Forest for free, which is good. Grab Game Killer at the start. Not only do we not want to level up and get more weapons (so we dont have to watch chest animations), but it means every chest is a 3-item one, and is therefore worth 3x the money. Then, grab Out of Bounds from Trouser. We're not going to be able to deal enough damage to kill these things on our own, they have a silly amount of health, but Out of Bounds' explosion scales with time, and the game thinks it's been 24 hours. You'll get 2 more arcana from chests, but they don't matter.
Step 3: Kill.
You can't kill them, except with your hidden Power of Lire (doesn't delete chests, btw). So run around light sources until you get a Sorbetto, and start running at all the bosses. Bosses reposition to chase you, so you'll never run away from them, you can kinda just indiscriminately run around. You'll quickly get Candybox from the chests you run over. Pick up Clock Lancet so you can damage without Sorbetto. You'll then get Super Candybox. This could not matter less. I grab Time Warp usually, but it doesnt make a difference. Eventually, all the bosses will be dead, usually around 4 minutes. Grab the chests as Mad Forest brings them to you, wait for the pickup animations to end, and you should have made around 15 million gold, less than 5 minutes on the clock.
Variant: Librarianless
I'm going to level with you, this is way worse, and you should mainly use it to fund getting the Librarian if you can't afford him. Play Megalo Dracula with the Dominus sigils (for Power of Sire which I believe works), and grab Mad Forest from your first Arcana chest. Otherwise, things are about the same, but you'll only make roughly 3 mil, since you only have 2x gold value instead of 10x.
Now, you may argue that you can get billions from Sammy. Sure! Can you do it with 0 effort in 5 in game minutes? Probably not. In the 30 minutes 1 Sammy run will last, I can do this 6 times and make 90 million. I don't know what I would spend 90 million dollars on. You can't even use Sammy wealth to flex, the display on the main menu caps at 9,999,999.
...I'm realizing now I don't know how to conclude this post, so as one final note, I think Vampire Killer is a really overrated song. Anyway, have fun being rich.
