pop some consumables right when you hit evil and try pushing evil NGUs to hop over some of the barriers, I did a long rb to build banks and get value from stacking and was able to speed up a lot of the biggest speed grind.

I just noticed that when i add energy to a normal NGU, the Evil one is going up too. I'm guessing that's supposed to happen? I thought i might have had to choose between the two based on what I've read.

you might be loading it into NGU NUMBER, which increases based on rebirth time as well.

I thought i might have had to choose between the two based on what I've read. It's not "too". Switching between difficulties on the NGU screen just switches the energy you already have allocated to the chosen difficulty. I.e. 1 energy in normal Adventure NGU Switch from normal to evil 0 energy in normal adventure NGU 1 energy in evil adventure NGU If you've unlocked the perk that makes evil also contribute to lower difficulties, then every time you gain a point in an evil NGU, you also get a point in a normal NGU. But energy /magicis only ever allocated in the difficulty you have selected.

The evil NGUs are a multiplier on your normal NGUs so your total bonus will increase more than the bonus from your normal NGU, but you aren't gaining levels in the evil NGU unless you are specifically putting energy into it. And you're right, you can only level up either evil or normal, not both (there's a quirk you can get which gives you a level in normal NGU every time you gain a level in the evil NGU)

Ah, i get you, it's a visual thing. So while I've got the evil NGU checked, the normal NGU's wont actually be going up (and vice versa) but the energy I've got allocated to 'NGU EXP' is the same allocation in both difficulties (i.e. i don't have to enter it again).

Kin posted:Ah, i get you, it's a visual thing. There's an unlock that makes evil NGUs also give you normal NGUs (and sad NGUs give you evil which still give you normal if you have any normal left to get). You do get the normal levels at the speed of evil ones so it's not very useful to unlock until you can do evil NGUs fast.

Kin posted:Ah, i get you, it's a visual thing. Correct. Just keep in mind if you are swapping from evil NGU to normal NGU mid run you are probably overcapping the normal NGUs by a hilarious amount and you probably will want to use the cap all button to free up a ton of E/M to reallocate.

something posted:That's over 3 years of CONTINUOUS running. jeesus I run it on a machine that I leave on almost all the time (the battery is flakey so if it loses power for more than a few hours the BIOS is wiped and I have to fiddle to make it recognise the disks/raid again) so it just kinda builds up.

Tortolia posted:Chocolate gear is strong enough that it enables an unusual but low effort strategy to just push T7. I did this when I went into Evil and endorse it because it's low effort and effective. So I've been trying to follow this but it's not quite matching up with my experience. I've got the basic challenges done but it'll take quite a few hours of advanced training to get the stats to manual evilverse. I'm on the second 24 hour challenge and I've ground to a halt at about boss 70 because my golf diggers are too weak. Is there a reason to do this via the challenge rather than just normal 24 hour runs? I think I'll be able to squeeze out boss 85 to complete the second 24 hour challenge but I don't think I've got the stats to get up to boss 125 in 24 hours yet. Unless the gold drop from evilverse is so big that I can insanely increase my diggers?

I'm pretty sure they meant 24h Rebirth and got confused because of writing 'challenge' a ton before, you're effectively resetting your banks every day and getting no progress out of it since the reward for the 24h is pretty piddly now that you're in Evil.

In Evolve, where do I view my Mastery? I did the Valdi challenge like 6 months ago and then forgot about that part of the game completley so I have absolutely no idea what anything related to challenges/mastery is or does, and I can' t even find the number.

Is there an up to date save editor for Realm Grinder that can unlock the rubies and bonuses for past events? I'm bored enough in quarantine now that I'm considering picking it back up but don't want to be behind permanently because I wasn't playing on a bunch of specific days.

I was invited to play a bunch of these clicker games by Ignatius M. Meen. I'm not really into the genre and most of them were dull but I did like the look of A Firelit Room. The survival/crafting type vibes made it seem a bit different to a standard 'number go up' gameplay!

A Dark Room is very good! I'm a little sad you weren't into most of the rest, and good games very like A Dark Room are a bit harder to come by, but there is Armory and Machine on mobile which you might find gets pretty close. You'll probably also find Armory and Machine 2, but that's not as of yet a polished experience (or even one where you don't have to get your save wiped every other week) so try the first one first.

Crank and Mine Defense also have unfolding game systems if that tickles your fancy. And the two Beep Boop Bitcoin games are quite fun, though they don't stick to the idle game formula for very long. I always thought Bitcoin Mining Profit Calculator: Gaiden felt like A Dark Room on acid.

You get .25% mastery for every achievement, and each achievement can be done with restrictions that give you a better “star” for it, up to gold. Mastery scales with the star level as well, gold star achievements give 1.25% mastery.

Yes, that is correct and I misspoke. Once you are done the evil basics just shift fully to regular 24h rebirths for fruit and gradual boss pushing, don't worry about other challenges since they reset your banks and cumulative progress. And if you can't kill anything in Evilverse that's fine, you just get more gold for diggers when you can. Apologies for the confusion.

I think it's time to jump into Sadistic in NGU. I have Exile V4 gear cooking in the Daycare and can get the 10k boosts from floor 1150 (although my optimal floor is ~1143 right now), Hacks & wishes are getting harder to level up quickly. Does this sound like a good enough time to make the jump? I haven't beaten boss 301 yet but I'm at 290 on this rebirth and I'm pretty sure if I let it go a couple days I'll be able to get it done.
