In a world where a mysterious magic lamp has granted mushrooms sentience, these heroic fungi adventure far and wide across the globe. You'll have the choice of multiple classes and a swathe of equipment as you undertake the journey to become a real human by finding more of the magic lamps around the world.
There's plenty to be done, whether that be customising your mushroom as you see fit, gathering new equipment from the genie in the magic lamp, taking on boss challenges as part of an alliance or even building your own garden to gather minerals and other rewards.
But all of this requires time, patience and just a little bit of trickery. So if you want to know how to get started and how to progress faster without any of the waiting around, then read on!

Tip #1 - Get to level 16 for idle unlocks
While Legend of Mushroom does have idle mechanics, these don't unlock until level 16 when you'll gain the ability to auto-rub the magic lamp which grants you further equipment. Starting as a Shroomie with limited power, this is when things will be at their most grindy, but as you evolve you'll quickly gain access to more equipment and currency. Not to mention that precious XP.

Tip #2 - Get at least 15 tickets (and use them)
Your mushroom gains extra power from the use of skills and Pals, managing how much power your Shroomie holds. The gacha vending machine to nab these requires a minimum of 15 draws per use. So it's vital to get as many tickets as possible at once, for which you'll have plenty appearing in the tab at the bottom left corner of the screen. Rewards may vary otherwise, but they always provide at least some tickets for you to use.

Tip #3 - Keep your Diamond stocks up
You may be surprised at how quickly you end up earning Diamonds. But don't get confused, because these aren't a premium currency. However, you can make good use of Diamonds in one section of the shop by purchasing Speed-Up Coupons, Clock Winders and the all-important gold. Gold is always a necessity as upgrades to the aforementioned lamp grow exponentially in price, so upping your Diamond stocks is always wise.

Tip #4 - Use Speed-Up Coupons to skip lamp upgrade timers
Legend of Mushroom doesn't just expect you to step away, it encourages it. Mainly with some unreasonably long upgrade times. However, the long-term benefits means that the magic lamp upgrades will offer idle rewards, filter out items you don't want and even automatically sell them and generate EXP for your Shroomie. This is where Speed-up Coupons come in handy for blazing through upgrade times, ensuring that when you're away you're just generating more beneficial rewards.

Tip #5 - Get to the manor, mine and research
The Manor is one of the last elements of Legend of Mushroom you'll have to unlock, and it's your standard home base where you slowly gain access to new facilities as you grow and evolve. Fortunately, you start off with immediate access to the Mines and the Tech lab. Mining will net you a good amount of resources for a few minute's work, which can then be taken to the Tech Lab and used to research further passive boosts for your Shroomie's tower. Research takes time though, so be sure to save some Speed-Up Coupons for this so you get those much-needed boosts to health, attack and defence!
With these top five tips you'll be well on your way to living up to your legend. But from here on, it's up to you, so good luck with succeeding in Legend of Mushroom!
