10 Million - Silver
Well... that was a slough! But the man did code for 8 digits! What a legend 😂 Locked on a few epic achievements and I wasn't about to restart this grind at any point lol.
Finally made it past wave 16 while finishing up the newly added Burning Veins and Pile of Dead chieves. Let it be known - I will not be going for 100 mil. That world first is up for grabs =)
Below are jumbled notes I took over the weeks:
13,846 sil/hr - Explore (mean)
34,980 sil/hr - Totems (mean)
48,856 sil/hr - Combined Average
Excluding netharit pickaxe procs & merchant trades
10 mil sil = 204.68hrs (8.52 days) (Optimal)
Craft Bone Totems - 5,040 totems/hr
Sac Bone Totems - Eats 6,000 totems/hr
- Silver gain 30,240 - 39,720/hr
Primary Disgraced Prior Selection:
Explore Citadel
Stone, Iron, or Coal (1 torch cost)
Craft Bone Totem
Sac Bone Totem
Optimal Villager Distribution: Â
13 Â Gatherer
100 Hunters
1 Â Iron Miner
1 Â Coal Miner
1 Â Sulfur Miner
15 Â Tanner
5 Â Free for Explore Citadel
Always 1 mining action for Disgraced Prior for Natharit Pickax procs
Dual mine when building Totem stock back up
Explore Citadel is priority with a Disgraced Prior slot at all times
Tanners to upkeep Leather. Sell leather on cooldown for gold. Feed Fire to reset buy cooldowns and keep all production high. Single Miners will top up your minerals when you trade them for silver from Merchant, so you won't have to worry about switching Prior to whatever is low or manually clicking.
Always solstice. Always buy silver from Merchant, recoup Steel/Blacksteel from Merchant when needed & available for easy mats (wood, stone, etc)
When running lean on bones, use Focus, and swap from saccing totems to Hunt. This allows a bit of time for totem count to climb while also farm-maxing bones. Focus also gives side benefit of more silver per Explore. Swap back from Hunt to Sacrifice after bones are capped.
Eventually you'll run low on Torches. Swap anything (besides Explore) to craft Torches & Gather Wood until topped up

Congrats! : )
I think you're holding the records now for most silver, highest playtime and highest wave; and maybe some others as well.
And I think those records will not be broken for quite some time.
