Anti-Idle has managed to successfully transfer itself into a downloadable format, for those of you who liked that and want to be able to play it after Flash support fully ends. There's no plans to port it to something that runs in a browser or Steam or such right now, though. Also, yes, you see right, it updated recently.

Can I get an invite tossed my way for the discord? Recently, having just cracked into Chocolate World, I've noticed the game has sped up a lot, particularly PP.

At what point does it make sense to buy the NGU Perk that allows turnins of higher-level Quest items? I don't feel like having a bunch of extra quest handins is an issue for me except occasionally if I go AFK for too long while questing, and even then I just stick them at the end of my inventory and wait for that quest to come around again.

Hugely important stat.

Rather surprised at the amount of information in blind runs. I thought there'd be no NUMBER or nothing, but you've got time until caps, you can infer boss number from multiple things and you've got pretty much all you need.

starting to realize I have no idea how to use augments. I've been content just putting a bunch of resources into energy buster at this point, but that's not actually optimal, I found. trying to figure ut optimal rates seems tough though, and the calculator I found makes me want to throw myself into a ravine.

Only check in with this thread periodically but I love idlers. I played NGU for over a year before a computer crash issue/reformat made me lose all my progress so I quit. I"m only just now hearing that there is another Something game on the way. Is it anywhere near release yet or just early development? It's probably been asked before, apologies, but I didn't see it in the brief scan I did.

By the way, does NUMBER affect adventure stats? I killed UUG, did a few challenges, and now I just can't seem to get to killing him again and I'm wondering if it's just less playtime.

It could be that your advanced training levels for adventure stats are lower than before if you’re reaching him in shorter runs too.

buy some adventure stats with EXP, or level up/boost your gear. or monitor adventure mode, and duck back to the sewer when the fairy shows up or turn off Idle Attack and try and take the fairy on manually, with your more powerful moves.

I'm still having a pretty slow slog post godmother in NGU. Like I've been shoving stuff into wishes and increasing my resource 3, however my adventure stats are still too low to take on godmother v2 never mind the next zone which needs 4 times as much to idle. Is this normal for this point? I feel like I've been here for a few weeks of 24 hour resets now. I'm at the point where I'm chucking PP into adventure stats for rich jerks so it eventually doubles my adventure stats at least. Are there any other core things I should be doing to boost adventure stats other than hacks and the wishes that boost them?

You probably want to buy every single adventure stat perk that's available. It will always pay off in terms of increasing your floor in the itopod, which gets your more PP and more XP.

Speaking of adventure stats: I let the advanced training work overnight and predictably that handled UUG nicely, but now I feel like I've hit a bit of a dead end as the beardversers dispatch me too quickly. Advanced training is hitting diminishing returns, the BEARd is slow work, buying stats directly with XP seems very inefficient and my mega-set is fully powered. Is there a trick I'm missing or am I just in a bit of a slow phase?

When pushing on a new zone or new titan, sometimes you're going to have to let AT stack up, fight manually, and fish for boss enemies for the better drop chance (i.e. let the enemy spawn and, if it's not a boss, leave the zone and come back). I can't remember when you unlock Diggers but make sure you've got your Adventure Digger as high as you can get it if available, and be sure to cast Iron Pill on cooldown.

Noticed my hack hack levels stopped increasing. Turns out i unceremoniously capped its levels. Theres no indication that they are capped. Worse still is that they cap outside a milestone level.  Not sure i knew that hacks had a cap. I remember reading in here like 6 months ago that someone had capped their hacks. I guess i thought they meant capped the hack speed stat on their gear or something.

I'm maybe not really being as efficient with my energy/magic distribution either. I basically put a 20/25% spit across the various things and then just let them run for 12 hours. Then when my time machine and augments have hit the arbitrary goals I've set, I just chuck all of that E/M into capping Evil NGUs. I've actually been neglecting hacks for wishes with resource 3 for a while now. I'm at about 3mil resource 3 and the time for a lot of the hacks have dropped to minutes vs hours as it was before. Once I break into the typo zone, is that the tipping point in Evil where you can start to cap a lot of the things like evil NGUs and blood magic while still having surplus E/M for other things?

Kin posted:I forgot about that knock on effect. Are you running your NGUs during the first 12 hours or only the last 12 of a run? Halving your NGU run time is going to slow down progress a lot, and time machine/augments doesn't really help all that much with progression. Also, take some time to buy some R3 potions and you can get a big immediate boost from your hacks if you haven't done it in a while. You'll be surprised at how quickly multiple sources of adventure stat % increases will make your adventure stats shoot up. I'm at the end game, and unfortunately I'm out of those sources except for sadistic NGUs and the last wish, so I'm basically just waiting for the next update to move forward in adventure.

Kin posted:I forgot about that knock on effect. Wishes are an incredibly slow burn at the beginning, so you should focus first on capping your Evil NGUs. If you don't have that skill that gives you one Normal NGU per one Evil NGU gained, you need it ASAP at this point. Getting at least one extra wish slot will also matter a great deal. You should start thinking about getting ready to clear the final Troll challenge in order to get that wish slot. Also make sure you get those wishes that generate QP from Titan kills if they don't take too long. These are tiny amounts, but they'll start stacking soon enough, and they are influenced by QP gain bonuses. Adventure Rich Stats perks matter a great deal and are a great investment, too, if you seem to be stuck.
