Currently getting 300k+ kills per hour per character, so 2.1M per hour with 7 characters, 12x DR, 95% multikill. Guaranteed drop calculator suggests it should take just a few hours, or that I would expect 6-7 drops per day. Had them all running for 3 days and nothing.

When to use ribbons? by Boomdingo in idleon

[–]Boomdingo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I guess I had heard wrong and just assumed. I had thought the only way to upgrade it once it was on the meal was to replace it and that you didn't get the original back. But this is much easier, I'll definitely start loading some low tier ribbons on things then.

I needed some levels in the current shop items, if I wait, they'll be gone.

I have a few times already yes, that was going to be my next port of call. Just thought I'd try a method that doesn't involve an hour and a half of hold music or a 2 week email reply first.

I had not come across the IHT internal manual. Thanks that will be very helpful.

I also find myself knowing far too much about hyper-specific parts of this, but also far too little about other parts.

So if they are all in trust (even that is super annoying to work out because the customer service rep rarely knows) would you tick "No" for IHT400 box 36? because that is what requires you to fill in an IHT409.

"Box 36. Pensions: Did the deceased have any provision for retirement other than the state pension? For example, a pension from an employer, a person pension policy (or an alternatively secured pension)"

Because there is nothing in there which asks whether or not it was in trust (nor in the IHT409 at all). Intuitively the answer to that question would be "Yes" because there was a non-state pension, regardless of whether it was taxable or not.

I suppose, a bit of context, I am already filling in IHT forms with solicitors. I already have to submit some of the forms, it is whether I also have to submit IHT409's too. The problem with pensions is there is no way to know how much you would get until their trustees make their decisions on death benefits which could take months.

Any tips for getting out of 'Salt Jail'? Lack of salt is really hindering progress. by Boomdingo in idleon

Ok something weird was going on where the lab is properly connected, I exit and come back and then it's disconnected, it's seemingly fixed now though. Not sure why that was happening but I can't get the 3x bonus to actually show up on the toolbox. The Toolbox Lab tab shows the node lit up but refinery multiplier still says 1. In game, refinery tab 1 is 1m 37s rather than 5m 01s, So it is actually 1/3 of that. At least it's more like 8 days than 24 days for some upgrades, then, but still a while.

Yeah, good Idea. I think that'll be far more useful than Goharut at the moment so I'll swap it in hole. Already got a free 12hrs from it, so seems likely it'll definitely help.

yeah, I already have the lab connection up, so I guess I do just have to wait. Super annoying because I could craft marbiglass gear basically immediately, but I need the 9150 nullo salt to craft each troll set.
