Jester Mcgee posted:How do I unlock Minedwarf in RG? It says when Diamond Pickaxe finds 30,000 faction coins, but the tooltip doesn't say that diamond pickaxe actually gets you coins, just increases your chances for coins. And on top of that, I have found millions of coins this run as Dwarves and still no unlock. I think it may only count coins from Diamond Pickaxe via clicking (and maybe only "manual" clicking, so Moon Blessing may not work), rather than Tax Collection and/or assistants. I didn't have any trouble getting it with autocast DP and an autoclicker on the chest.

I've been playing Shark Game for over a year and a half according to the game. Hurray offline timers. So, while I'm waiting the 36 hours to unlock the next race in Realm Grinder, what's a good incremental outside of the ones in the OP?

Realm grinder r0 question. I was whinging about titans taking forever because realm weather forecaster was predicting that i wouldnt get a hit on monastery or deep mines for like 40+ clicks. So i was told to do druids. But the strat given was to keep farms as the lowest % so grand balance always hits it. This seems pretty backwards to me. And the gems are coming in way too slow. (Im at 5e17 so far, and this druid run has given me 4e13 so far.....) Did i get dud advice?

R0 blows, but you should probably just do titans. I did druid for a while but I also spent a month on R0 because I was busy and so only played every other day for 10 or so mins.

If you can join titans from a fresh abdication faster than you can save up the mana for lightning strike (this mostly translates to "did you buy gifts" - forget if they're still kong credits or if you buy them with rubies now), then you do have an alternative. If the forecast is proving lovely for a long time it's totally an option to abdicate, neutral, titan, buy a few different types of buildings (I don't think LS consumes any RNG numbers if it hits 0 or 1 types of buildings?), cast lightning strike, repeat. Abdication comes with a free mana refill. However, of course, if you don't have gifts it'll almost certainly take you more time to get the coins/FCs to join titans than it would have taken to just let your mana refill after lightning strike.

I pretty much ignored both Druids and Titans in R0. For the first few reincarnations I spent a lot of time as Faceless because they have that Hive Mind upgrade that increases production based on how much time you've spent as Faceless, so once I started down that path I just kept going. It worked okay and was lazy.

They don't get a larger bonus from Grand Balance than any other building type would, so all you really care about is making your least productive building as productive as possible.

They don't get a larger bonus from Grand Balance than any other building type would, so all you really care about is making your least productive building as productive as possible. That usually meant Deep Mines ended up as my least productive. Druid(3,1) upgrade Mabinogion: Buildings affected by Grand Balance receive an additional bonus based on their tier, giving the best bonus to the lowest. Formula: 1+2.5*x, where x is the building tier, starting at 1 for Halls of Legends and increasing to 11 for Farms. Outside of that upgrade, your logic is absolutely right. But accounting for that upgrade, you'll get 21x extra from hitting a Deep Mine but 28.5x extra from hitting a Farm, thus all else being equal, you'll get 35.7% more production if you have Farms as just-barely-worst instead of Deep Mines as just-barely-worst. Part of the issue of manipulating that is, of course, that in order to accomplish that you skip some (but not all) of the Farm upgrades, which makes it more of a pain to gently caress around with buying upgrades, is easier to screw up, and depending on how exactly the numbers pan out and how much worse a mostly-upgraded Farm is compared to a fully-upgraded Deep Mine, you might lose some or all of that benefit. So it was never something I was inclined to gently caress around with personally, but there is valid reasoning behind it. Also, Druidic Vocabulary from Druid(1,1) and Mathematician from a secret trophy, both offer better production to lower-tiered buildings, the lower its tier is. However, I'm pretty sure that since these are applied baseline, they're applied before determining Grand Balance targeting so it wouldn't affect this discussion.

35.7% isn't even worth caring about really. I ignored that (GB would always hit mines or stones depending on which had the most recent upgrade) and I progressed through the neutral phase just fine using primarily druids.  I'm not sure why he's seeing such low gem returns though. Druid should be as simple as buy all upgrades, wait for max mana, cast all spells simultaneously, wait a few minutes and tab back over to do it again. IIRC the main reason they beat titans is that their huge max mana lets them stack every spell instead of only 2. Sindai fucked around with this message at 18:21 on May 16, 2016 |

There are several upgrades from secret trophies that are appreciably potent, such as the aforementioned Mathematician. Maybe he's missing a few of those? But yes, as noted above I agree and I also ignored that effect and just fully upgraded everything whenever I played Druids. I did mostly go with Titans however, since I'm a filthy cash-spender and used gifts to cheese Lightning Strike RNG in my favor when it was feeling uncooperative.

Dwarves are so powerful I bet any of them can work. I mostly went elves since that's what worked for me in the vanilla phase.

Dwelf never really struck my fancy but it's probably decent. Dwairies are good but they really need Premeditation (unlocked via drow) to have enough mana to really work properly. Dwangels, while lower potential than dwairies, I found were more forgiving and I used them a lot more during R0. Admittedly I was also trying to generate enough mana to unlock the upgrade such that autocasting didn't have a mana regen penalty. (And for that matter, generate the 10,000 spell casts needed to unlock drow in the first place.)

Checked AdCap, hoping Earth would be better after the latest update, but it's still poo poo.  It doesn't help either that the game hides any upgrades from you beyond the next ~10. Checked the wiki and I actually had more like 50 upgrades left, all about 1 order of magnitude apart. Also, grinding prestige currency in Crusaders of the Lost Idols is hella slow. You'd think it'd go up every time but nah - you just get ~30 idols every reset and it barely increases at all. Also Idling to Rule the Gods is hella boring now. Maybe I should go back to Realm Grinder.

What should I be spending Rubies on in Realm Grinder? I bought one Assistant to help unlock Fairy Choir, but not sure what to spend the others on. Also, are the Gifts worth purchasing? Looks like they are going to be 50% for the anniversary and $5 doesn't seem too bad to throw at a game that will be occupying me for a while to come.

The game stops being interesting once you've burned through the available content (took me about two months, though I guess I still have That Trophy). Gifts make that happen faster. As for rubies, the bonuses are so small that it doesn't really matter what you spend them on, but conventional wisdom is Max Mana Bad, Assistants Good, Other Options Decent.

The gifts are probably fine to get once you've gotten to the point where the only thing you're doing at the start of a run is waiting for enough coins to join a faction. I've never been enticed into it but as far as things to spend money on they're pretty good.

It's worth mentioning that a lot of these guides don't talk about the rather large amounts of power certain secret trophies confer. It's worth it to look at the list and do any of them that you think could be reasonably achieved even if you have to do a specialized run for it.
