User blog:Akrie/Coin & Jelly Scale and How to Best Use Them

There are a couple of pets in the game that can give you a huge amount of coins or points: Coin Scale and Jelly Scale, respectively.

The Coin Scale works this way: For every 1,875 points or so, the Coin Scale will exchange that for one coin. The maximum he can convert is 300,000 points for 160 coins. At max rank it will convert every 4 seconds.

The Jelly Scale works the opposite way compared to the Coin Scale. The Jelly Scale requires coins instead. You get 1,905 points for each coin converted but the maximum it can convert is 210 coins for 400,000 points. At max rank it will convert every 4 seconds.

If you set it up properly, you can gather a lot of coins or points in a short amount of time.

The "breadwinner" Cookie for using the Scales effectively is Cheesecake Cookie, mainly through her Coin Firework Parties ability. Whenever she collects enough Invitation Jellies (they look like floating envelopes), she will trigger her power which will give you a lot of coins. That is where you will get the most coins or points. Try to get her to level 8 so she can use her Power+ ability for a free Coin Firework Party during the run.

There are a couple of treasures that will work perfectly, even if you're hunting for coins or points. They are Stuffed Elephant Money Box and Random Colored Jelly Scrub. They give bonus points for coins you collect. The former gives more points but is harder to find, while the latter, while giving less points, can just simply be obtained by getting the Glitter Ball pet to level 8 and evolving its treasure. They work perfectly because it gives you more points for Coin Scale to convert and further increases the points you gain if you go down the Jelly Scale road. If you have two copies of the treasure, great! Even better if one (or both) of them are Blessed. The last treasure slot should, obviously, have a Magnetic Aura effect such as Angel Cookie's Holy Feather to make it easier for you to collect jellies and coins.

For simplicity's sake, let's give Stuffed Elephant Money Box and Random Colored Jelly Scrub their abbervations: SEMB and RCJS.

If you want to gather Coins:

This one is actually very simple. ANYTHING you collect in the run will give you points and the Coin Scale will convert it into coins. It's a good idea to use Buttercream Choco Cookie as a relay, because he will add a 25% Coin bonus at the end of the run. Be sure to equip either a SEMB or RCJS (or both!). Try to make it so you get the Double Coins Random Boost, but it is not a game breaker if you don't. Even a 25% Slower Energy Drain helps. If you want to make it quick, 30% Faster Base Speed also works. However, if you do use that Random Boost, the poor Coin Scale will not be fast enough to convert all the points you gather, and the points will go to waste if you end your run early (and you will, seeing how it will be very fast at the last stage). It's a good idea to replace one SEMB or RCJS (the latter is ideal as it provides less points compared to SEMB) with something else, such as treasures that offers Coin Bonus.

Do the run normally. Be sure to give more attention to collecting coins during the run. If you have to choose between bear jellies or coins, pick the latter!

When Cheesecake Cookie has run out of Energy, switch to Buttercream Choco Cookie and continue running. By the time you may have reached to the point where there are just simple bear jellies during the run, so it's a good idea to let the Coin Scale convert the last remaining points before you fall off to end the run. You CAN continue running, but the Coin Scale will only be able to convert a few coins at a time, so it's your call.

If you set it up properly, you will gain a lot of coins. My personal record was 55,000 or so coins with Double Coins. It could be much higher if I had another SEMB or RCJS.

Update: I have finally obtained a RCJS and my personal record jumped up to 64,000 with Double Coins. It's a big change!

If you want to gather Points:

This one is trickier. You WILL eventually run out of coins for your Jelly Scale to convert rendering it useless. Cheesecake Cookie can't run forever and coins will become increasingly sparse as you continue running.

As usual, use Cheesecake Cookie and Jelly Scale. As your relay, it is essentially up to you as Buttercream Choco Cookie's 25% Coin bonus will not work. I have included the following Cookies that can generate coins: They will never pump out as many coins as Cheesecake Cookie's Coin Firework Parties though.
 * Prophet Cooke with his Second Sight
 * Alchemist Cookie with her Alchemy
 * Cheerleader Cookie with Squad Support
 * Carol Cookie's Magic Songs
 * Adventurer Cookie's Hidden Ruins Exploration
 * Blackberry Cookie's mysterious Paranormal Activity

For treasures, use one with Magnetic Aura and use either SEMB or RCJS (or both). Try to get the 15% Point Bonus Random Boost. 25% Slower Energy Drain also works.

Do your run normally, and try to collect coins as usual. When Cheesecake Cookie runs out of Energy, continue the run. If you are using Alchemist Cookie, try to make it so her Alchemy will generate coins. If you're using Carol Cookie, have her focus on Song of Abundance. Just keep running as far as you can, there's no need to end the run early - you will still be generating points even if coins are sparse.

At the end you should have a lot of points especially so if you have the 15% Point Bonus random boost.

My record was 62,000,000 or so with the 15% Point Bonus random boost. Again, it could potentially be higher if I had another SEMB or RCJS.

Update: With a RCJS, my score jumped from 62 million to 79 million with 15% Point Bonus. That's a huge change!

I hope this has helped all of you that wants to maximize the benefit of the scales!

Alternatively:

You can use Blackberry Cookie instead. She can generate a lot of points on her own through her Paranormal Activity ability. Her Blackberry Jellies and Colorful Star Candies will generate points for your Coin Scale. Her All-Coin Jellies she can make will give you the Coins you need for your Jelly Scale.

She just requires a slightly different setup for scoring points. Other than the Holy Feather, you should equip her with two of the Mysteriously Magical Star Brooches as they dramatically increases the points earned when collecting Blackberry Jellies and Colorful Star Jellies which she can make on her own. Pair her up with the Coin or Jelly Scale and you're good to go. However, the Coin Scale will benefit from Blackberry Cookie more since she can very quickly generate Blackberry Jellies with an occassional Colorful Star Jelly compared to making All-Coin Jellies.

Just keep in mind, however, going down that path will essentially turn her into an "one trick pony" as none of the other Cookies can really take advantage of the Brooches at all if you decide to use Cookie Relay.

I don't have a single Brooch, but I was able to generate about 12,500 coins (without Double Coins or Buttercream Choco Cookie) using a Coin Scale and 36,700,000 points (without 15% Point Bonus) with the Jelly Scale. If I had a single Brooch, the numbers will likely be much higher.

Have fun, and keep runnin'!
