429 goblins

With their mana brackets removed, the team were all the more eager to be back in the reef, because they could use Genta's project to rack up what every mage dreamt off, which was flash upgrades! Once they got back, and met with Genta, they discovered that she had planted plenty of Mana Roots already, eight hundred of them, to be exact, so just after a few months, they'd be able to harvest tens of mana roots each, and experience one flash upgrade after the other!

They might as well get some flash upgrades, because their mana pools weren't regenerating as fast as they would expect them to. They've been in the sky for two weeks, and only managed to regenerate a third of their mana pools, or a million points each, once they assumed the form of an Aqus Goblin. This wasn’t a lot, despite the number appearing to be huge, as Timothy for example, could spend it all with fifteen or so lightning bolts alone! His abilities were expensive to use.
