Guide on Ectoplasm and Ooze Cores

I'm assuming not everyone knows this, so I'm taking the time to share a little Ectoplasm wisdom here.

You can turn 60 Ectoplasm into an "infinite" amount of Ectoplasm by buying 10 Ooze here https://outof.games/shop/product/416-ooze-pouch/.

You then go here https://outof.games/members/ and start throwing Ooze at everyone once*. That gives you 10 Ectoplasm each. So you're turning 60 Ectoplasm into 10 Ooze. And then you're turning those 10 Ooze into 100 Ectoplasm. And just like that, BAM, 40 profit!!🥳🤑😄 that's the cool part:)


And here's the other part. The one where you get to prove your diligence and persistence. Because you get to click around a lot!**🤷🏻‍♂️ If you're unsure if it's worth your time, you could always give it 1 go, and maybe start a timer so you get an idea how long it takes you for 1 full run.

Repeat until you have 450 Ectoplasm (and a minimum of 6 Ooze, so you can keep your cycle alive!).

You can then buy 5 Vials of Living Ooze here https://outof.games/shop/product/419-vial-of-living-ooze/.

Before the final step: Make sure you have Spindlesilk Loop equipped!

Finally you go here https://outof.games/sidequest/kitchen/?recipe=render-ooze-core, and, by adding 2x Salt Crystal, turn them into 1 Ooze Core.


*if you throw Ooze at the same person more than once, the Ectoplasm you receive in return will decrease a lot. The first throw pays 10, the second throw only 5. You want to earn Ectoplasm, not lose it.

If you're unsure if you've already oozed a person, just skip ahead.

Lastly, if you're curious and want to get a feeling for the different amounts and sources of Gold, Ectoplasm and Ooze (or other seasonal currencies), having https://outof.games/shop/transactions/ open in a separate tab can be very insightful!:)

**if only we could spend all those clicks on playing Clickbait Tycoon instead and generate Ectoplasm (or equivalent seasonal currency) by doing so! Imagine how cool that would be! It would be yet another cross-over between Flux' games:))

This turned out a tiny bit longer than I thought. Thanks for reading:) Happy Ectoplasm hunting!

EDIT 1: I forgot to add: You can ooze the same person for full Ectoplasm value once per day. You can go again after the daily reset!

EDIT 2: If you're Ectoplasm hunting on mobile, clicking on players' names will open their profile card first, and only after 1 more click you'll be on their profile. There's a trick! Don't click on the names, but click on the profile pics instead. That will take you straight to the profile:) (I'm on Android 16, Firefox 158.0.2. It may be different on iOS)

EDIT 3: Whatever you do, make sure to have Spindlesilk Loop (+10% Material Preservation) equipped before crafting Ooze Cores! The satisfaction of getting a free Ooze Core from that beautiful mechanic is immense!😍🥰

    Ohhhh i knew everything but the Ooze Pouch. That is actually a pretty smart idea! But it does take A LOOOOOOOOOOT of clicking :D

  • Pro

    Thanks a lot for the guide!!!

  • Pro

    Oh no I've been wasting so much ooze pegging the same people over and over again. Does it reset each day?

    • Pro

      Yes, it resets daily! I added that info in EDIT 1.
      I want you to know that I noticed and appreciated the extra Ectoplasm your faithful oozing gave me!🥰

      • Pro

        I mostly just go oozing all the comments on the Oozefest page. You post the most!

  • Pro

    I just made a third and final (I promise!) EDIT, and it's a super important one! Thanks for reading:)

  • Staff Pro

    How many Ooze Cores have you all managed to gather already? Do I need to start another grind or risk falling behind?

    • Pro

      I'm nowhere near to taking off, don't worry. I got like 4 this way so far, but I wasted 1 on a Mythril Sword. Only after crafting I noticed that my Frozen Runeblade has such high damage that any Mythril Sword will have a hard time topping it. Oh well.. many learnings are to be had in SQ, that's for sure. Mine was to not just assume that an item will be better just because it's 15 levels higher and uses a very costly Ooze Core :'D

      I will say this: doing the whole clicking thing can be really fun if you know how to cheer yourself on. Then it's also super fast. So that's a cool thing.

      But if I'm not feeling it, there's no use in doing it because then I'll be slow as a snail, and nothing will get done that way. So I'm not pushing myself.

      When I DO go and do some clicking, I usually thaught of that tasty Mythril Amulet and and Rings that each have +18 Max Energy and +18% Energy Recovery :D :D it's a yeti, I know. But maybe I can get relatively close to this ideal! Time will tell. I'm not even sure both of these stats can occur in 1 and the same item, but I don't see why they wouldn't:)

  • From my flinging experience I am pretty sure that the ooze resets more than once a day, like maybe after a couple of hours. The problem is that it looks like it counts from the last time either you threw to your recipient or your recipient threw to you. So sometimes when it has been hours and I got 10 ectoplasm from throwing to most users, seemingly randomly I would get only 5. My assumption is that the recipients I got 5 from threw ooze at me recently.

    I just tested throwing ooze for a second time today a few hours after the first time, and about 80% of the time I got 10 ectoplasm, the other times 5.

      Next time you only get 5 you can get to the bottom of it by checking https://outof.games/shop/transactions/. With Ctrl+F you'll easily find all interactions with the respective person very fast.

      • Ooo, didn't know about that. Thanks! I will check on my next flinging run and see if that tracks.
