Has anyone found a way to quickly farm gearbits? I'm working on fully upgrading my vehicles and getting a measly 20+ for each race is wildly slow

also if you replay some of the derby levels, the sand one with the spikes and what ever the dinosaur truck thing level is. They give out a decent amount of rewards. if youd rather something a little more interesting then the practise tracks.

I just found out that the end of the cloud level with the boss fight (already forgot 'zeus' type man's name), you can avoid killing him and just keep racking up gearbits until you die, then just restart.

Still need to find a good way to do air and sea though

If you press the button that creates a drift (on land), barrel roll (in the sky) and/or dive (in the sea), the silver Gearbits turn gold for a three seconds. The Hot Streak, in all different colors depending on the variants, and the Burn-Cycle are capable of doing the same thing when the secondary vehicular attack is performed.

Plus you can go to your menu, select Portal Master, and go through your powers you get as you rank up. Change them to gearbits.

Here's an idea, though it may sound very monotonous and dumb, and I don't blame anyone for having that opinion. I suggest for those who play the Wii U and XBOX One in order:

1) Gather enough Wishstones, say about more than 200 of them
2) Save and quit the game
3) Turn off the console
4) Insert memory drive(s) with at least between 2 and 8 gigabytes.
5) Save Skylanders: SuperChargers game files in the memory drive(s) and then remove the memory drives to prevent accidentally game saving on them
6) Play SSC by throwing in all the Wishstones while gathering Gearbits in random tries
7) After that's done, quit the game
8) Download previously-saved game files to your consoles and then remove the memory drives to prevent accidentally game saving on them
9) Repeat process number 6

I've done the exact same thing with STT while evolving Hood Sickle in his one-time Quest at the Skylander Academy. However, you don't have to do this if it's too boring and stupid (and I totally agree with you it is).

How on earth are you supposed to get 200 wishstones!? That would take days. My highest amount of wishstones I ever had was 5...

Battlebrawl Island. Before taking the elevator, you have a chance to get a wishstone on the left and one on the right.

Repeatedly do Skylands in Chains, I recommend Shield Striker, the secondary attack is a gearbit magnet. Using the Shield Striker you can get about 2500 gearbits everytime.

Just a heads up. I spent 3 hours farming gearbits for the 17 item pack and while the game was saving the data it glitched and I didn't get the chest and yet it took all my hard earned bits. Just giving out a fair warning just in case this happens to anyone else. The version of the game I use is the Wii U.

Since there is no bonus depending on difficulty, all gearbit farming is suggested on easy.

The obvious Chapter 51 earns around 2000 each run. Easy allows one hit to the Darkness before moving to the track, while other modes take more hits. After you have done all you can on the track, you will earn no more in this chapter, and can quit or restart. (Because who doesn't like that credits song)
Chapter 14 is an infinite track! Easy allows you to drive on it basically as long as you want.

If you are farming for the new Boom500, Shield Striker is best for the sake of being able to pull in all nearby gearbits.
A note to some people that didn't know about this: Drifting is causes gearbits to turn gold, tripling their value.

Ok, Whenever I'm able to get the Shield Striker, I'll be sure to use that ability around Gearbits smilie

After managing to get all of the parts and shouts from Boom 5000, I've got a new idea on how all new Vehicles can get Gearbits without wasting Wish Stones and/or racing through all three terrains in Story Mode. My old Vehicle still have lots of Gearbits left and here's what I'd do:

1) Use any of the old Vehicles with lots of Gearbits
2) If you have over 10,000 Gearbits, buy the big red kit that costs 9700
3) Switch from the old Vehicle with the new one without any Gearbits and upgraded armor and weapons
4) Bust the big kit open and flip all the cards until each that is a duplicate gives you back 800 Gearbits
5) Repeat

That's what I've been doing ( I thought everyone was doing this ? ) . It still takes a bit of effort though coz of all the damn boost/ability cards that don't get refunded.

Also for the magic vehicles , doing the magic elemental gate where you collect the Mabu. If you just go for the gear bits they keep replenishing ( I think forever) and the track changes a bit each time you go around so it's not too dull. smilie

its too bad most of the other elemental challenges don't have many gearbits in them.

I honestly find boosts almost useless. I barely race anyway, and when I do the only terrain I use them on is sky. And I personally hate the Sky vehicle controls. I have almost 100 in each boost. If they were used in the campaign, then yeah, I would use them. But eh, opinions.

For Land, definitely Chapter 51. For Sea, the Cloud Kingdom level is pretty good. I might experiment with some other places to see if there's a better way.

For Sky, I have no idea what to do. Please help. I still need to upgrade Buzz Wing and Dark Clown Cruiser in the future.

I think the first chapter of the last level is pretty good for it.

The method of Buuzer video is the one which better works for me (land). Without shield striker I actually earn 800 gearbits per try.

I'll try today chapter 51.

To get as many Wishstones as you like, simply pause to the Portal Master Power, go all the way down to Rank 1. While going back up carefully and slowly, choose the option of Wishstones popping out of crates and boxes you break open. Since the last update, I've obtained more than 5 Wishstones.
