Tailoring

Quests

2-3 Omni Geodes may be requested by Octopus, Rainbow Trout, Spook Fish, Sturgeon, or Super Cucumber in a Fish Pond quest to increase the capacity of the pond from 5 to 7.

Farming Strategy

In order to complete all of the objectives in the game, you will need a lot of Omni Geodes:

• In the early game, it is common to spend them on Warp Totem: Desert so that you don't have to wait on Pam for Skull Cavern runs.
• In the mid-game, you will need Clint to break open around 300 to 500 in order to get all of the minerals (for the museum).
• In the mid-game, you will want to spend them on Artifact Troves (for the museum). This is usually the best way to get most of the artifacts (although some specific artifacts cannot be gotten this way).
• In the end-game, if you are trying to acquire every hat in the game, you will need 716 to give to the Desert Trader.

Early Game & Mid-Game

Early on, there is no specific way to farm Omni Geodes other than by doing standard Skull Cavern runs. The typical Skull Caverns strategy is to rarely use your pickaxe, and instead use Bombs and Mega Bombs whenever you see a medium-to-large patch of rocks. Thus, from blowing up all of the rocks, you will naturally acquire around 25 to 50 Omni Geodes a day, depending on how many explosives you use.

End-Game

Even with millions of gold at your disposal, the Skull Caverns is still the best way to farm lots of Omni Geodes. Massing Octopus in Fish Ponds has an abysmal rate of return. The only other option is to buy a lot of Statue of Endless Fortune, which takes an absurd amount of money and isn't viable.

However, in the end-game you can farm Omni Geodes in the Skull Caverns at a rate much quicker than than before:

• Pay 10,000g to re-spec to the Excavator profession. (This is essential, as it doubles your drops.)
• Use two Iridium Bands for the double magnet effect.
• Either craft or purchase as many Mega Bombs as you can. (You can buy them from the Dwarf.)
• Build up as many Crystalariums as you can for mass-duplication of Jade. Trade Jade for Staircases as the Desert Trader.
• Ideally, you should be starting a Skull Caverns run with 300+ Mega Bombs and 300+ Staircases.
• Immediately staircase past any floors which are not wide-open and easy to Mega Bomb.
• Otherwise, plant 2-3 Mega Bombs on the floor. Intentionally take damage from the bombs so that you can grab the drops that much faster.

With this method you can finish a day at floor 200 or so with around 100 Omni Geodes farmed. It still takes a while to get enough for the hats, but it is not as bad as it could be.
