As you might notice the floors with just 36 cogs give 611 bucks. It would be rare but not impossible to hit a short floor every time. I'm not sure where the 555 would fit tho...only way you could do that would be to skip a couple groups.

Ive never gotten 555 merits, but I have gotten 611 merits. I usually see the merits either around 650 or 750.

Actually - you don't. Not any longer. There was a time when you did but they fixed that.

ITS PREETY COOL :VMKpoison

[Corporater]

i need cog bucks yo

[dcm510]

VERY well put, deputy monty. I will refer to this to tell when im gonna need a ton of buvks or merits, lol.
and...just to help people out a little bit...5500 merits is equal to, believe it or not, 29 full fac runs! Im stuck on that now,lol. im up to about 2000 though. But remember-when you need a ton of bucks or merits or whatever, patience is the key.

[Ginger Giggletoon]

Thank you that is exactly what I have been searching for.

[dcm510]

i got the 5500, up to 108 laff!
heres a good trivia question-

Im a money bags lvl 9, and a holly lvl 21. Which boost do u think ill get next? There isnt really any one that i prefer, i just do 'em when i can.

There is no actual key but when you reach level 50 you no longer have to gather bucks or merits before you can return to fight the boss cog. You get a message from the toon/monkey saying something like "I see you are a level 50 Cog. Keep defeating cogs".

Entire factory yields 194 merits and takes (on average) from 10 - 25 mintues depending on if you are with sounding friends, soloing or with gag working, factory-inexperienced toons.
