Line 6:

*The player can double rewards after completing a map outside of events once, including character resources. If the player gets the prompt, it goes on cooldown even if they do not use it, but if they force close the game after receiving the chest, they keep the rewards and keep the doubler, so this should be saved for character resources with alts. This prompt resets exactly a day after the player after the player uses it and is not tied with server-side daily resets.

*Doing [[Bloon Beacon (BATTD)|Bloon Beacon]] maps awards resources similar to completing maps for the first time, but the resources are shown before actually completing the beacon.

**Having the game closed before the bloon beacon refreshes naturally may have it reset what material is listed upon loading the game. This does not always happen, and it ~~does not seem~~ like if this was used, that the next beacon ~~can~~ have this happen. Take advantage of this whenever one of the six resources without alts appears.

This does not always happen, and it seems like if this was used, that the next natural beacon cannot have this happen. Take advantage of this whenever one of the six resources without alts appears.

*[[Martian Games]] occasionally has a random selection of resources in the store. Like all other items, they can only be bought once per slot. Listed are non-cosmic amounts, as cosmic essence quantities are lower:

** 2,500 {{Martian Crystals}} for 10

Line 15:

** 75,000 for 200 red, finn cakes, or meatballs, respectively If the player owns the respective premium character on the store

*Legendary Wish Orbs have a chance of giving 40 of a random specific character resource, or 20 cosmic essence.

*Joshua and Margaret events give 1 cosmic essence for completing Normal or Hard, 2 Anchors for completing Extreme, or 3 Dynamite for completing Impoppable.

*Joshua and Margaret events give a fixed resource each event, but each event gives different materials. It is unknown whether these are fixed per given time of the year or not. It was documented that another event (summer?) gave 1 cosmic essence for completing Normal or Hard, 2 Anchors for completing Extreme, or 3 Dynamite for completing Impoppable. The February investigation event instead gives ??? for completing normal or hard, 2 red for Extreme, 3 red for Impoppable.

*Easter Event, Fireworks Fun, Hall-ooo-ween, and Holly Jolly Secrets gives 1 random resource for completing Normal or Hard, 2 for completing Extreme, or 3 for completing Impoppable. Having the crate at the end survive has a chance of giving 8 random resources, 25 gems, or a super rare or epic wish orb.

*Certain [[List of achievements in BATTD|achievements]] give upgrade currency when claimed.

Line 34:

*Avoid using characters that are heavily reliant on trinket-specific attacks for damage, as they may not activate Treasure Chest Keys. A notable character is Finn utilizing the [[Missile]], as players have reported chests never dropping if the missile pops MOAB-Class Bloons.

*On Android, watching ads for gems is overall slower than farming gems through Treasure Chest Keys, but is an option starting out.

*Save gems for a Joshua and Margaret Investigations that has one of the rarer materials in Impoppable.

===Spending Cosmic Essence===

Line 39:

Line 40:

*Of the six resources that can be used on characters with alts, four of them have a somewhat consistent method of acquiring their resources in bulk.

**Finn Cakes, Meatballs, and Red can be acquired by purchasing them from the Martian Games store while the player owns [[Dungeon Finn (BATTD)|Dungeon Finn]], [[Tuxedo Jake (BATTD)|Tuxedo Jake]], or [[Hunter Marceline (BATTD)|Hunter Marceline]], respectively.

**Anchors can be consistently farmed from Joshua and Margaret's Investigations, albeit 2 per Extreme game.

*Thus, Candy, Anchors, and Bananas are the best resources for using Cosmic Essence on, as these three have less sources than the latter three. If not spending Crystals on resources, then Candy, Bananas, Finn Cakes, Meatballs, and Red should be prioritized.

*Thus, Candy and Bananas are the best resources for using Cosmic Essence on, as these ~~two~~ have less sources than the latter ~~four~~. If not spending Crystals on resources, then Candy, Bananas, Finn Cakes, Meatballs, and Red should be prioritized.
