"Watch out gamers, I've committed a science" I love that line so much and can't wait to use it

Well, by seeing that you have over 100 of every kind of chunk, I trust the process that you do when committing a science. Keep up the great work, Vasko!

It's still worth mentioning that once you have gears that you use oftenly and you are done farming bonus with them, you can effectively make them 4 or 5 stars, because if you use those gears 90% of time + XP tickets too you end up farming gear passively quite a lot. However, only on the ones you use the most, and the ones you are done farming with, otherwise it's a waste of money 👌

Surprised you didn't talk about how each ability slot takes more than the previous to fill up. In terms of max chunk rate, the fastest way to grind chunks would be scrubbing your gear after the first ability slot is filled, though obviously this becomes expensive quickly. If you have money to burn I don't think it's such a bad idea for the splatfest tee though, since it's 10x cheaper to scrub.

I've seen every chunk farming video probably possible and I think this is by far the most accurate and useful one. Nice vid Vasko Also mad respect for like 100 of each chunk

100 percented story mode - all collectables, map, got my bear ears bandana, etc....but somehow I never knew that there was a search drone that gives me stuff for 999 eggs. Thank you so much!

one thing i thought of recently (that can be quite expensive) is ordering gear off of inklings in your plaza with your desired chunks on them and then scrubbing it. this is more rng based considering Murch loves to give people gear with no slots/abilities despite ordering something with 3 of the same ability on it, but if youre willing to fight Lady Luck then it's one way to somewhat snipe chunks you want

Thanks for the tips Vasko. I find that all the stuff about the ability chunks gets super confusing to me. This is probably the most informative information out there

Tbh I’m baffled and incredibly frustrated that the developers somehow made it way harder to obtain Sea Snails in the THIRD GAME.

My best choice of grinding is The salmon run Even you get random chunks, its still Useful and its chunks grizco gives is very generous

5:49 saving this moment for later

I've seen other videos that kind of helped me, but this video helped a lot thank you Mr. Games!

Welp that’s one thing to cross off my bucket list, *_have an inkling convince me to buy an internet service_*

Farming: it ain't much, but it's honest work 👩‍🌾

Why is it that all the Splatoon 3 videos I watch from Vasko nowadays are just him commiting a science and mass calculations, I’m not trying to hate or anything but oh boy he does a lot of math and explanation, it’s really deep and I love it. Giving a dear thanks to you, Vasko, people who watched videos like this are probably doing so much better then they were before they watched a video like this.

it’s really good this came out now because i feel like i need a million chunks of swim speed

I think a good last advice here is. Using multiple copies of an ability chunk also has a great reduction in efficiency. Like, most of the time one diffirent ability (eg, quick respawn) is better than a 3 stack of the same one in terms of efficiency. Except for a bomb or Special spam and Special Ability power up build, In that case you need a lot of those chunks for the build to be actually effective.

Thank god this video showed up on my recommended, i have FIVE gear sets i want to get, and ive only gotten one so far (keep in mind, i have had and have been grinding chunks in this game since LAUNCH), so this is such a major help

This girl out here doing the REAL science we need for splatoon! Much appreciated

Alright I want to point this out as I find one exception for when it comes to leveling up abilities with sea snails. (If I'm wrong please correct me) amiibo gear cannot be bought in a shop unlike other brands and can only be obtained by the amiibo it comes from. Unlike grizco gear where you can swap the equipment for chunks by doing salmon run (also idk if you counted that in your equation or not love to know) you only get amiibo equipment ONCE. On top of that you only start with 2 gear slots per amiibo gear. Unless you can star it up by unlocking chunks by winning battles (which I believe you cannot do if I'm not mistaken) the only time you should be able to use the snails for star up is to unlock a gear slot. You only need to do so for amiibo gear and maybe grizco if the hat you really like is out of rotation. (But you can still get it possibly through pink capsules) just thought i mention this fact

Thank you so much! I have been trying to grind chunks.

I've had Mint for almost 3 years, I'm really glad to see it as a Splatoon video sponsor lol. Wonderful video btw!

This video helped me a lot so thanks Vasko

This video helper me a lot so thanks Vasko

This video was so helpful thank you!!

Took me 2 months to get full special perfect gears on my Marina outfit. 5 stars on hat and 4 stars on shoes and clothing. Just using the brand and Max it to 4 stars with the drink ticket it has.

I HAVE A TIP Alright it's kinda expensive and you can only use it during splatfest times but if you use your splatfest tee you can scrub it everytime you get a new chunk (which only costs 2000) and if you win a match with a drink it only takes one game, so in theory you can get a chunk every game, that's how I grinded out 15 intensify action chunks for my shoes to finish my denji build!

Thanks for this useful information 👍🏻

This is something I should be watching videos for but I see I been missing out

full run speed gear here i come thanks for the info!

Thank you for the video, yeah grinding for chunks is a pain, I hope I can get enough run speed so I can put it to a fresher gear for my set BTW I like your voice

Thanks that helps a lot!

Just equip the gear you want and farm with it. Every time you get the ability you wanted, you save chunks. Very useful.

Very valuable information indeed 😊❤

The big run made me make complete meme gear, got shoes with main swim up and 3 sub swim speeds up

That was the most convincing sponsor I've ever seen

very helpful chart

My main gear is all 5 stars and almost done with ability chunks it’s hard work even after this advice but this does help

Personally, my big goal is to just fill out all the gear SOMEHOW. Like, I don't care what the abilities are. Because I had so much unused gear when I switched from Splat2 to Splat3 and I think it'd be fun to just have everything rolled. It takes awhile, clearly, but the numbers on how much a drink ticket does is very useful to me! Also how they work! So that I am not just using them randomly. (BTW, I only have 3 pages of hats with an unrolled ability, out of 8 pages of hats owned total!) All that to say, thank you for your science, it's very good to know.

A splatoon video is the last place I expected to see an advertisement for a major service provider

If you already knew about Leanny's tool, why didn't you just check to see how the rolls are calculated? Leanny describes how drinks work on the "technical details" page lol

The thing I don't see anyone talking about. It's like the most important part of you ask me and that might be because it's obvious. But you want to get 60 pieces of scrubbed gear before using a drink ticket. That way you can wear a whole set of blank gear into each match while the drink is in effect, and get 3 rolls in a single turn.

I don’t have much of a use for super sea snails in leveling up gear. I’ve leveled up my cute schoolgirl outfit and that’s it. I used the rest on rerolling to farm chunks while getting the right brand for what I want. It’s costly but worth it. I managed to get a ton of ink recovery up. Now my schoolgirl uniform has ninja squid, and my blue tinted retro glasses have LDE. And what else am I gonna spend them on?

There is another way to farm ability chunks, though it's a bit more situational than the conventional methods. If you have a surplus of certain abilities you know you won't use much, you can play Salmon Run to get gear with the ability you want as its main slot, then change the main ability to a main exclusive ability by using 15 chunks of 3 other abilities each. You'll get back 6 chunks of the desired ability by doing this and it's easily repeatable because you can earn the same gear piece with the desired ability again by playing more Salmon Run.

This man is the God in helping people out in splatoon 3

If I had to guess, the best way to get chunks is salmon run, since you get so many from the gear bonuses … and yeah seems like that’s correct

Did you remember the fact that if you level up gear that already has all slots filled it instead gives you one ability chunk of whatever you got?

a thing i do to collect chunks is that when there is a random weapon rotation on salmon run, i play until it takes too long to get a capsule, while it stays fun to get a different weapon :>

Super video!!!

What is freshness for gear items? ( Shoes, headwear ect)

2:27 I cant believe my favorite Splatoon RU-vidr is using my main weapon- (Big Swig)❤🎉

Play during that week you get the splatfest tee and keep scrubbing after you unlock a single ability chunk. It only costs 2k instead of 20k. 1 win in turf is 1 chunk. Happy farming

Do ability’s stack??

Don’t forget about about the catalog bonus. It a bit of RNG but it could potentially give 10x chunks of each if you’re very luck. It able to get you a few extra chunks while you just playing a bit of Salmon Run / Anarchy / Turf War. If you’re new I suggest you to watch the Vasko vid of exp farm to learn how to unlock faster.

TYSM OMG

Does the rate of chunk collection change when all of a gear's slots are full? If not, a full set of 0-star gear with a drink ticket applied could farm pretty fast

My potato brain wont get to braining once the pies appear

My tip. Just have fun and chek you're chunks evry once in a while

Helpful as always! Thank you so much for committing this science!! 😂

I’m impressed, but slightly disappointed that you didn’t take the math further. You set the time it’ll take to get a full 3 slots, and the odds of getting a specific ability, but not how long it would take (on average) to get X amount of chunks for a specific ability. If your looking at the best odd (30%) then it’ll take you 4 chunks to get 1 of the ones you need, or to put it in a simpler way, for every 11 rerolls, you’ll get 10 chunks, and that’s the magic number we’ll be working with. Now let’s take a look at how many you’ll need, to put the first ability in, it’ll take 10, the second 20, and the third is 30, for a total of 60 chunks needed, but seeing as it’d probably be a good idea to start slotting in when you already have one, let’s take the first 10 off. That means we would need to go through 55 rerolls to get a full set (assuming perfect odds) which means, if your playing with 2 star gear, would take 2,475 minutes, assuming you had the drink active the entire time, if you don’t (which might be the case since I know I don’t have that much to last the whole time) it’ll take 3,795 minutes (I’m not going to convert it yet) and if your using 5 star gear, that’d take 2,310 minutes with a drink, or 3,410 without one. So that means with 5 star gear, you’ll be spending 385 minutes (or 6.4 hours) less than with 2 star, or 165 minutes (or 2.75 hours) with a drink the entire time, which you might not have. I’m also realizing that you only get that 30% if you use a drink, so there’s an even larger difference without one. All this is assuming the best possible outcomes, winning every time, and no games that end because someone disconnected. As you can see, those extra 7 or 3 minutes saved might not seem like a lot, but they will add up a when dealing with numbers this big, and you’ll get plenty of coins from all those games. I’ll admit, there’s probably a few things I’m not considering, and my math might be off in a few places, but this is just something that’s been on my mind as I procrastinate getting out of bed in the morning.

Can we get a spreadsheet of this because my brain is hurting of all this new information Keep up the good work

So if my gear slots are all full already and I used a drink I can get chunks of the drink I had 30% of the time if I play enough? Is this a good way of getting specific chunks while wearing gear you're comfortable with? I've never done this before and the gear I want pured already has some abilities I want so I don't wanna reroll them or anything, just replace them with chunks

Thank you for your hard work and dedication so I didn’t have to use my brain 👍

I didn't know that about the drinking for the worse chunk thing, that sounds super helpful! However, in my experience, rerolling with snails is super worth it if you have 3 abilities on a gear with a favorable brand. This past splatfest I used all 21 of my snails on rerolling for Main Saver, and I got about 23 chunks in maybe 10 minutes, and I'd gotten the other 22 I needed for a main slot from scrubbing the splatfest tee every time it filled one slot. It was super relieving to cut so much time out of the process since I'd already spent way, way too long on the rest of the build ^^'

In Splatoon 2 I just hoarded like 300 snails over the course of time. Maxed out a grizz gear that has neutral output of chunks and used 200 snails worth of rerolls to get any amount of chunks I'd ever need for the remainder of my Splatoon 2 career.

MOM THEY USED MY LIKENESS IN AN ADD CALL MY LAWYER

Because I like pushing for high ranks in Salmon Run, it's the best way to farm chunks for me. I roughly have 200 ability chunks from ALL abilities and I can make gear sets with ease now.

Vasko is the goated squid

when is that vid on the sheldrone coming?

Wtf splatoon content sponsored by Mint?? Crazy!

5:45 awesome chart but what about Cuttlegear?

i need 60+ chunks for intensify action and Quick respawn 💀

It's somewhat disappointing that the gear customizing/ability chunk economy is as time intensive/expensive as it is, but it's come a long way from the sub ability roulette that was all Splatoon 1 had.

Vasko how many win games you need to get for the amiibo clothing ? Plz

I need help, one of my gear (my hat) has all slots filled but my other 2 each have one open slot and it doesnt fill when get new abilities, can someone help?

What about Lean’s website/seed finding? It’s undoubtedly the most effective method for building the perfect gear and it’s not technically cheating.

10:53 when you max out a gear sub ability and level up you still get a chunk?

how should I try getting the quick respawn drink?

5:49

So, I’m around level 15 and want to get speed up gear. What’s is the best method for me?? Please I need to know

Winning every turf war? Well that's impossible for me.

Hi, i love the content!

Wait splatfest tee ability chunk scrubbing before a lot of turfs is more efficient

I am definitely not salty that someone told me you don’t keep the chunks that “fall off” a full gear, absolutely not salty there was no reason to avoid getting xp on my favourite gear, not at all.

if only I had drink tickets of what I need

i had the perfect piece but then it got the ability i least wanted on the third one argggg

i have 2 five-star powered up pieces of gear, but both times i bought it for 200k in the shop. is it supposed to be 300k, or does it depend on sea snails?

Congratulations on 105k subscribers! Did you make a 100k subscribers video?😕 I don't remember. 😥

ty 😜

yes more science!

Need help knowing how to upgrade my locker faster. Feel so empty inside or give tip on wat cool kids in these day. Thank you as always friend.

Oof I spent all my sea snails on I AM COMFUSED!!! WHAT IS THE BEST WAY? gear star boost (it was ninja amibo suit)

So what do you use sea snails for if rerolling and star boosts are not worth it?

How do I build good gear ?

5:12 not true i got three action intensify EXACTLY what i was looking for

I just look out for players with cool cloths that has decent abilities and then i just order them

Okay I'm going to actually look into your sponsor. They are the first to actually be cheaper than Google Fi and might be worth it! If I use 1gb I pay as much as that mint unlimited plan. I hope it works in my area

It honestly fucking sucks that drinks were nerfed and don't work literally majority of the time, and I don't make this game my life like most others so I don't have over 100 chunks each of things lmao so I can't get pure gear like how I'm wanting/needing

I know ability chunks are supposed to be exclusive and special but man, I’ve played this game for 4 months (and play an average of an hour a day) and just recently got enough swim speed up chunks to grant my shirt perfect slots. It costs 30 freaking chunks for one slot! (If it’s the only slot left)
