Tbh, I only have 3 whisky bottles and I am thinking about getting a fourth, so I only store the larger amounts of fans, and I always keep one empty when doing longer missions.
I think the whisky bottles are extremely important, it's the equivalent to having an extra 10k to 20k fans. Using this method and with all four land masses opened, if I manage to have a perfect day, were I'm always in a mission, I can make between 50k to 60k starbits in a day, but most days I make just over 40K, because I either over sleep or I have long periods where forget to do missions.
The most important missions are those 5 and 10 minute ones, so in 3 or 4 hours I earn 80% of those starbits for the day and then it takes a dedicated 20 hours to squeeze out the last 20% of starbits.
The veteran players advised me to buy XpBoost when I first started, because of how overpowered they are, so I bought a 50 and a 100, which really helped me to level up. I've heard that it takes 2 years to level up without them, but I think it's taken me about 4 months to get to level 300 with the boosts.
Do you have any XpBoosts?
