Key concepts of IMF Farming 1. You can only pay off 1 loan at a time. Ex: 11,000 debt and you use an IMF ability you will get 9000 cash instead of 6000 2. Depositing will only profit in 2 rounds. Ex: Deposit on round 36, profit on round 38 3. You cannot use IMF ability if the loan has not been fully repaid. Depositing and collecting allows you to pay off debt quickly. Ex: 900 debt remaining, deposit 3k and collect so you can use the IMF ability again 4. Using IMF ability immediately is not always a good idea. Delaying IMF may sometimes be better in certain scenarios 5. 1 discount is worth it for 1-2 IMFs. 2 discounts only worth it when you are doing 1 -> 3 IMFs 6. Stalling is essential to get abilities up in time. Changing targeting or using glue gunner is usually a good idea to stall more 7. Sometimes depositing into multiple IMFs is a good idea. You should do this if you have at least 8k+ cash If you don't understand that is ok. Feel free to ask questions. Note that IMF farming changes week by week so you will need to figure the strategy out yourself. But don't say "This guide doesn't work" because I will ignore you. Its not meant to be a guide its meant to showcase the essential concepts behind IMF farming.

Very well done to explain something so complicated in such a simple way. I just wanted to ask exactly how much should one deposit into the IMF to not be overdepositing and losing money? Also when you have multiple loans active, and you gain income, how does the game decide which loan to pay off first?

@@Techmoblad I'm not sure about the exact amount of money to deposit to not lose money but if you have multiple IMFs then split the deposits. Also I don't know how the game decides which loan to pay off first I just figure it out

Real quick: are you overclockbtd on twitch?

I barely beat the boss this week using minopolis imf because I didn’t wanna go crazy. Might have to though if the bosses keep getting more and more ridiculous. Thanks for the guide.

I'd like to consider myself a somewhat skilled bloons player, and IMF farming is something I've been meaning to learn to improve my boss skills. After watching this I can't say I fully understand yet, but the results are so impressive that I know I'll be dedicating more time to mastering this method. Its very impressive to see this demonstration, and I appreciate you documenting the process. I would be interested in a more math-based analysis of IMF farming, but I understand if you want to keep math out of your video games. Thanks for the video!

Doing a math-based analysis is probably not a good idea considering there are way too many factors you need to consider. IMF farming is powerful but it cripples your economy post tier 1 so personally I don't recommend using it. Unless its coop then it is the best pre-tier 1 farming strategy and nothing comes close.

@@btdoverclock I'm lucky to have a group of friends who I do co-op bosses with. We've all been too intimidated to try imf farming so far, but if only one person has to take it on I'd like to be able to properly. I know a mathematical approach would be incredibly complex, but I have some ideas I may implement into a calculator of sorts at some point. I made a similar calculator for hero levels in co-op for my personal use, so adding to that framework could prove useful.

overclock is wild

Very complicated for my smol brain. Will try though.

Great farming strategy. I didn't expect 120k by round 40! I would love to use this but I'm not so good at farming micro. Can you make a video for the basic farming of update 43 since it got nerfed a lot, I usually use Ben but you can try Geraldo too and see which one will make more money by round 40. Also can you beat the boss and say what to get after? I'm not sure what to get after tier 1. I usually get Banana Central and start building BRFs in range of tier 1 farm monkeyopolis (If there is not enough space for boats). I think a video like that would interest more casual players. Of course you don't have to do it if you don't want to though.

@Techmoblad

He does have a video for Tier 1 boss farming for version 43 using monkeyopolis and marketplaces. He also has a video for Tier 2 boss farming using boat farming. Boat farming is always better than BRFs+central whenever it's available, but if not, BRFs are the way to go. And yes ben is still the favored hero despite the massive nerfs

@AJThePurpleBoy

Ай бұрын

Oh yeah I just saw them. But I'm not sure if it's worth it to get overclocks for all the BRFs or get more sacs for the monkeyopolis later on.

@Techmoblad

Ай бұрын

​@@AJThePurpleBoy it's 100% worth it to overclock every single BRF if you dont mind microing/using techbots. Also if you want to spam BRFs after getting your central, you should place a BRF, then an overclock, then a BRF, and an overclock and so on. Overclocks cost about 63% of the price of a BRF but increase its total output by about 80%(plus it's also very space efficient of course) . Another thing is that if you wanna maximise profit it's totally worth it to get 2 overclocks for your central just to have maximum uptime as the extra money that would make is more than you would get from overclocking a BRF

@AJThePurpleBoy

Ай бұрын

Thanks! But I still have a question. I usually get a monkeyopolis with one 0-0-0 farm. Should I re-buy it and sacrifice BRFs to it or should I keep it? Also is it worth it to get monkey cities for all the farms or just overclocks? Also if there is space for boats do I get all central markets or only 10 and then get Banana Central + BRFs?

@Techmoblad

Ай бұрын

@@AJThePurpleBoy after you've filled the map with BRFs, you should sell your monkeyoplis, replace it as a monkey city, give it range buffs with a village and an overclock (overclocks increase village range) and then sacrifice as many BRFs as you can. Dont forget to give the monkeyoplis a monkey city. Also monkey cities increase cash production by 20%, so if you have more than 5 BRFs in range it is worth it to buy them. Plus they can also affect other income generation like druids which you sometimes squeeze between farms to maximise money generation. If there's space for boats, you should get all 20 merchantment in range of discounts and a monkey city, then get the trade empire, then buy both central markets and favored trades at like a 2 to 1 ratio (place one central market for every 2 favored trades you buy). After having 10 central markets start BRF farming with a central, overclocks, and monkey cities. And always use jungle's bounty druids if you need to min-max your money generation

Yay!!
