Don't forget the great value of all the amazing packs you will be buying though. And actually it's only 20 tokens!

Oh man, if I did my math right $60 will actually get me the Black Bolt, three 6*, two 5*, and one 90 bio selector package exactly.

I could 6* both She Hulk and Black Bolt and have one left over for a new character. Then the bios from the packages will 6* Loki and Blastpin. Maybe Superior Spidey also.

It takes about a 150 investment to get the mega rank ticket. If you buy all 4 of each of the 5* 6* and 4x100 bios deals. That is kind of like buying one of those year long hero packs in MH.

Do rank up tickets require the character to be at the next lower rank (e.g. 4* for the 5* ticket) or can it be ranked up straight from 1*?

Thanks to Stark's Stash I'll be able to afford one of those 90 selector "special packs" before the sale is over, but holding out for a 5* rank up package also looks like a good option. Whaling out is not an option, so it has to be one or the other for me.

You have to be the next lowest rank to use those tickets, it's the Mega Rank up that lets you go straight from 1*

Still excellent deals, though, given the bulk of biometrics necessary are tied up in the last two star levels.

that 90 selector and gold pack should be skipped then. You want to buy a costume with your crystals for a character that you main.

I think this needs to be restated. If you F2P or just do minor whaling, those crystals need to go towards costumes for your main team. This will make them stronger so you can go farther in timeline and get a bigger crystal reward.

Goons I need some quick help.

So on your gear modifiers, you already know you can roll your affixes of course.

I need to know what the max is for each roll and can't find a spreadsheet on Reddit of somebody who has done this already.

Basically if I roll "Phys Attack by __%" on first affix, what is the max? So on and so forth.

Any guidance is appreciated so I can tism properly.

You, my friend, are a friend.

Also, today marks a very historic day in my life to ascend to a higher form.


Pictured above: A Tadpole is about to ascend to Zoo Plankton status.

I have ascended[ past VIP1-3 where I was sitting at 4 for a long time. This put me at official status of Tadpole. I will now become a Zoo Plankton and then at VIP6, hit the prestigious Krill status, a whale's favorite food. From there, an upgrade to where I want to be exactly: VIP7 aka Popcorn Scrimps.

2016, according to the Chinese New Year, is factually the Year of the Whale.

Cuck yes.

Rofl holy guacamole did you all see this from the sheet God Master Hootington linked above?

Autism Section



I actually...feel good at where I'm at right now. I know where I'm at in MH and well, I'll just stop there.

If you're a new player, ignore the picture above.

Whale harder guys.

Non-Autism Section

After this sale, and trust me, whaling is amazing and fun especially with you all. I usually can't stop laughing when the sale hits talking to you all, but if you're new, you don't have to go loving crazy to purchase stuff.

Stark's Stash gives you 75 crystals daily for 30 days for only $3.99. That's the most you should ever spend on this game.

Mr. Netmarbu~ himself gives you 25 crystals daily per daily missions, 100+ from Timeline Missions per week and 400 crystals on login for the month.

Let's say you are regular ol person and you get 100 crystals a week from Timeline:

400 total for logins
400 total for Timeline Battle
750 total for daily missions for 30 days
50 total estimate for Mr Netmarbu~ being nice and sending stuff

That is a grand total of 1600 crystals you get free every month for spending $0. That's pretty drat generous.

Mild Case of Autism Section

Take the 1600 Free and add the $3.99 package.

1600+2450=4,050 crystals per month and knowing you did a great deed by feeding a developer's family for a day. All for $3.99.

VIP1: Pre-cum status.

You thought $8,500 was an OK number to spend? GUESS AGAIN, 99% moron.

It's actually $9,100 to max out. Spend harder. Whale harder. Literally become a whale.

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

I actually had looked it up to see how much it would be to unlock autoplay++ and well $5,000 seems slightly unreasonable. I got to VIP 4 with Christmas gifts and buying my first 6/6, but I don't think I want to spend any more to make the treadmill faster (except the $4/mo)

If you're gonna whale, whale smart. It's pretty easy to find iTunes/Google Play gift cards at a discount, making your whale dollars go farther. For example, last week Target was running a buy 1, get 1 20% off promo on all iTunes gift cards. Using my Target REDCard(R) for another 5% off, I was able to get a total discount of 15% on a pair of iTunes gift cards, and then apply those savings to a crystal purchase promo, then apply THOSE crystals to the time limited promo packages. Layers of nested savings!

Using the techniques noted above and accounting for various restrictions designed to prevent money laundering using gift card purchases, you could reach VIP 15 Blue Whale status for the low price of only $7,735 with enough patience!

I've got my costume needs pretty much covered, is the thing. There aren't any I'm dying to buy at this time. Certain characters being a pain if not outright impossible to farm is something I'm more inclined to spend crystals on to rectify.

Did MH really go bad or are some people just salty at nerfs? I stopped playing (due to having no time) a little after pets got stats, and the consensus at that time was "Gaz was bad, but now really good".

Also I am over the moon about these free 6rank ISO's. It means I can grind my Ock's stuff manually while a tidal wave of awesome poo poo just pours into Elsa over time (i love how her skills use every part of the Gunnalo, no chamber spared, no butt slammed).

Protect the Captain for Ock, Anger of Red Hulk (or whatever its called) for Elsa. Go ahead and tell me how bad these are; I wont listen because gently caress rolling for 8-sets, but I will acknowledge your post! I really wish the system was set up for taking multiple ISO sets (crystal can only contribute for one set at a time), would make for a way more varied setup than "dump gold into the volcano until the RNG god gives you an 8-set".
