The mechanic of pooling daily spin time for 12 hours is really nice. I hate when games punish you for not keeping a schedule based around the game.

All fruits yield seeds when eaten. But you can double the output when harvesting.

I'm fizzling out on Idle Wizard around e87 mysteries. It's sooo sloowwww now. I've been using the Voidmancer/Voidterror combo which seems to be the only thing that advances me at this point. I actually haven't looked into unlocking the next guy so maybe that would help...

I've been using this wiki page as reference http://idle-wizard.wikia.com/wiki/Class_/_Pet_Combos but just haven't found another good build yet. Any suggestions?

edit: I think I need to do more challenges. I'm at paragon 8 and the next 2 increase profits by a lot

Definitely unlock those paragon levels if you can. For achievements, look up the secret achievement list -- some of them take a few seconds to do. If you haven't maxed out every pet achievement yet, that's usually easy to do with demonologist. I expect it's a bit harder now that demonologist has been redesigned, but still fast.

Voidmancer was best up to Umbramancer (around e90-e100) which will easily take you to the 160s or beyond. Then back to voidmancer when you can unlock the new VM summon, which takes you up to around e190, when you can start doing alchemist.

Don't forget to upgrade gear -- the fiery/frosty rings are used in almost every build to some extent. Stuff that benefits voidmancer will probably be a better long-term bet than umbramancer.

I'm grinding away at alchemist trying to get from e221 to e240 right now.

If I were to make a purchase on Kreds, the money will go directly to you, right? I don't have to specifically buy from NGU or jump through hoops?

I'm not sure what you mean. Buying kreds will just give Kongregate money. Spending the Kreds on AP in NGU is what transfers a 70% cut of their value to me.

i believe most of my AP packs line up pricewise with the kred packs you can get. Or, that was the intent so you didn't get left with 7 kreds and nothing you can use them on.

Also, if you simply toss me your save in a PM sometime I can throw 100K AP on there as a goon present.

Can I take you up on that offer? My save somehow got nuked a couple months ago and I haven't played since (since starting over SUCKS). A couple boosts could hopefully get me back to where I was.

Sure, hit me up on SA or Kong, whatever is easiest for you. A pastebin link to your save is usually the easiest way to trade the save file back and forth.

Oh, good. Easy unlock, too. Frosty ring + Arcanaworg = fast ritual of power casts, shadowstalker = quick synthetic entity build up, 10 bats is a few minutes of hanging out watching. Just set it up, should be unlocked in the morning minus the 10 bats.

I swear they nerfed the bat rate slightly. It's still not bad at all, but it took me slightly longer than expected.

also I have no idea how to actually productively use the new class beyond the obvious combo so I just went back to Alchemist :shobon:

It could also be you, after doing a hard reset. Final showdown is you fighting yourself, where your stats are equal to your current stats... bonus points if it hard-resets the game when you win/lose.

In NGU idle, I got +1 energy bar bar from the daily spin, and I'm not sure whether it registered or not. I usually keep my stats at round numbers when it's convenient, and it's still at 200 base bars.

Does it factor into the calculations in a way I'm not expecting it to?

Energy bar bar (note the second "bar") is a consumable in the sellout shop.

I'm going to spoiler some of this because it's about a 'secret item' in NGU that can drop in Adventure Tutorial Zone based on how many bosses you've killed so far[/spoiler during that rebirth (at least according to what I read online, and it seems to hold up in practice): The Triple Flubber has a special bonus of "Respawn", am I correct in assuming that impacts how long it takes for enemies to spawn in Adventure or is there something else going on with it?

There is a drop from Jake (stapler) that has the same bonus.
