If you join the super snail discord, it's pretty fun skimming the "why'd you mute me" channel. People are just out of control, I have to imagine some of them are 10 year olds who honestly barely understand what they're saying

there are a ton of one-time purchases that get hidden away in various tabs and they're always good, but require saving up big piles. Like the person who had a ton of incenses may have purchased one of those 6000 w-tad one-time bonus things that gives 10 incenses (and also gives some of the w-tads back). I forget where that purchase is because they get hidden away in weird tabs. There's also similar purchases for the events, I guess I'd prioritize those because they're time-limited

Vending Machine, Spending Bonus, then the second tab, you unlock it by spending [a shitload] of w-tads

lol that's insane I've only drawn 2 eyes of Horus from gear or lotto in my 4 month run so far.

most players will buy coins with wtads and tickets if they can afford it. both offer unique ways to get relics and 180 coins during wish week gets you an eye of horus

FYI i am up to 4.7m power and haven't beat Anubis yet and im at floor 1500~

Lorg Fries 12 here. I hoped they would maybe at least let clubs be cross server but no.. I joined a random club from the recruitment channel and only about 1/3 of the people even participate in the daily thing :(

I'm on Lorge Fries 17, I had originally joined a random club, but we convinced the resident whale at the time to start a Club, and were able to grab most of the active players into one superclub. We're just about to open the Portal and start species war. Probably tomorrow or Monday!

keep an eye on the recruitment channel, and look for active clubs

its really a son of a bitch that clubs are locked to servers. makes it very hard to do stuff unless you get in on the ground floor

I assume this is to keep things fair when it comes to overall rankings and competitive things. Otherwise a months old character could transfer to a relatively new server and no one there could ever rank in anything.

God, there's just so much stuff in this game. Finally beat Pawson and unlocked the Yamato domain, plus another advancement system that requires new currency but gives a bunch of stats including stuff like lifesteal and crit chance.

Also opened up species wars, which is, a lot. I don't think it's too crazy when you get down to it (dig deep, gather resources, and kill enemies so you can upgrade your biozilla) but man does opening that menu just shotgun blast you with stuff.

Species war seems like a lot, but is really straightforward. That constellation thing you unlock after Pawson is very, very grindy. You get 1 of the upgrade crystals a month.

I'm in a little bit of a slump. Slightly not enough power to beat Pawson or Murika. Nine dudes in my inbox waiting to kick my rear end. The tiniest bit below 10k for all stats. Unlocked my second to last gear slot, but don't have any good equipment to put in it, so it feels like a bit of a waste of a million btads. I've got all my relics to three stars, and my blue shards are completely tapped out.

I'm COMPLETELY cashed out on all the easy ways to get power increases. I'm basically just waiting for Friday so I can get a boost with my two weeks+ and 3.5 dragon orbs worth of offering time saved.

Just need one small break, very annoying.

it's definitely not a waste, but honestly the flat stats from random gear with no special bonuses are not that impactful.

I can definitely see the RNG on gear drops being a huge problem for some players. I seem to have been pretty wildly lucky so far

The flat stats may not seem like a lot, but it could mean the difference between intercepting a hitman or not which could give you the item you need.

This game works like a lot of idler where you wait to make a big push then roll that into gains to prepare for the next push.

The merika map sucks. The map after is much better.
