For the past week or so, I've been running around in Towns 1, collecting rare and expensive items that have gone up in price from the inflation. Originally, I started going in there to try and catch those rare bugs that I once saw there (don't know yet if they're in Towns 2), because some of them, namely the
Great Monarch, are worth insane amounts of money now (over a billion). So far, out of all the rare bugs, I've only found a
Purple Fly (at least, since I've started this "project").
While hunting for the rare bugs, I thought I would collect trash, flowers, and bugs along the way, but most of them weren't worth the time to pick up or catch, so I did a little research to figure out which ones I should look for so I don't waste time picking up every little thing I see. Out of all of the available items, I've found that
Old Crumpled Newspapers (about 50,000g each),
Blue Carnations (about 15,000g each), and
Sunflowers (about 10-15,000g each) are the best things to pick up, while pretty much any bug
other than Brown Beetles, Crickets, Yellow Butterflies, House Flies, and Fireflies would be worth it to catch.
The problem with some of these rare items is that they can look a lot like one of the cheaper ones, namely how Old Crumpled Newspapers (50,000g) look like Crumpled Newspapers (100g), and Red Flies (13,000g) look like House Flies (1,000g). I've found that by using the right Adblock codes, you can choose to see nothing but the items and bugs that you want, and I've also found one that, for some reason, lets you walk through houses.
These are the codes I'm personally using:
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/trash/trash_*.swf
Blocks all trash.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/flowers/*.swf
Blocks all flowers.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/ground/hopper_1_1.swf
Blocks Crickets.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/fly/cicada_1_1.swf
Blocks Cicadas.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/fly/fly_1_2.swf
Blocks House Flies.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/fly/fly_1_3.swf
Blocks Fireflies.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/npc/fly/butterfly_1_2.swf
Blocks Yellow Butterflies. Not only are they cheaper than the other butterflies, but they also look a lot like Great Monarchs.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/structures/bulletin.swf
Blocks the bulletin boards, which often have hidden items behind it.
||gaiaonline.com/images/towns/002/house/barton_mask/*.swf
Allows you to walk through all houses. It saves time, and makes for a nice trick. "What?! How are you doing that?!"

None of these should block rare bugs.
