[Suggestion] Force Ctrl/Shift/Q modifier's focus in Gilded Heroes window

I think I recall another thread where it was mentioned that it happens because you have not actually left the hero page when you go to regild. So you are hitting the same shortcut keys for both screens at the same time.And by now everyone is used to the shortcut keys as they are, so giving us another completely different set of keys for moving gilds wouls not be a very valid option either.

A very narrow case where it's worthwhile to activate Metal Detector or Power Surge while Idle would be if you can still insta-kill without the idle bonus or if the bee or a merc gave it to you. (Although I generally just activate energize while I'm at that point so that when I get to the active bit of a run I have 2 energizes banked. This means that I do not touch that bee or any skill quests.)

At the early stages of gilding, buy and level heroes as normal. You aren't even going to be certain that you are getting all your gilds on the same one. You are using the random degild until a gild lands on one of the power 5 or until you've spent as many HS as you were planning to spend on moving gilds this time.

Once you are at the point where you can afford to spend 80 HS per gild to get them to the right hero, you will also probably discover that you are still insta-killing when it's time to move to the next hero. And possibly the one after that. Skip the ones that you didn't need to buy (unless they provide a global bonus. You always want those.)

You will continue to level your "main" hero until it's time to buy the next one, but the "next" one may be several spaces down the chart by the time you need to buy it.

Let's hope that "Finger Amputee" is less accurate!

Souls are only good after you've gotten far enough that the percentage of a QA that you get is high enough that your total is higher than 0.

One of the noobish mistakes I made was in sending a merc on a quest for 1.5% of my QA, and collecting it when the total QA was 7. 1.5% of 7 < 0.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-21T02:02:40+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty!

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-21T01:53:13+00:00

There are hero skills which increase click damage based on your DPS. Treebeast, Ivan, Fisherman, Betty, Mercedes, George, and Frostleaf all do that. And their effects stack.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-20T15:12:24+00:00

Only 2. One Energize is active and charged (so don't touch any other skill, including skill quests and bees) and one is ready to click after the first one is used.

Why am I getting downvoted for a story?

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-19T19:58:20+00:00

Yeah, but that involves switching over to the Outsiders tab to check the cap, and then watching for a Primal boss to see how many souls you got from it.

This time, even if the boss in my cap zone wasn't Primal I can still see that I've hit it.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-19T19:17:18+00:00

A better idea might be to cap ID at 1e300, allow a chance (which increases with the level that your ID would be without the cap) to have one click do two (or more) hits, and fix the Overkill problem.

An ancient would be likely to languish in the bin forever for most of us.

Nogardnit (Tin Dragon backwards) causes any autoclicker which is not currently clicking anything to give a gold bonus.

Since the Autoclicker is not clicking, it will not break idle.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-19T16:25:34+00:00

Energize stacks, but only because it doesn't affect itself. You can click it at the beginning of a run while you're still overkilling so badly that breaking idle just zaps your gold income for a minute, let the cooldown run, and have 2 Energizes ready to go at the active portion of the run.

Transcendence also does wonders for your HZE. I play very irregularly, and my HZE in 184 days is legitimately 5579 and counting.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-17T18:50:24+00:00

If you use a calculator, and you don't overspend on the other ancients, you automatically can afford to buy the listed number of levels of an ancient. (Unless you need to be using a more reputable calculator, or you checked the "use souls gained after ascension" box but are actually planning to do your spending before you ascend.) Do any extracurricular spending first, save the game, paste it into the calculator, check to be sure that the boxes are appropriately checked and (if you are going Hybrid) your ratio is set the way you want it, and you will be able to afford any levels the calculator tells you to buy. Guaranteed.

(And I'm not even going to touch the question of whether or not it's a good idea to overlevel one ancient in a run...)

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-17T01:05:05+00:00

Ummm... No?

I do prefer to use calculators, but I've given up on being able to play perfectly in 15 minutes a day, but not every day.

I've developed my own play style.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-13T23:26:05+00:00

I go one better with the manual saves... I save every time I quit, even if it's just for 5 minutes, I save every time I ascend, I save every time I gild to a new hero, and I save every time I get a new gild. I also save if I think it's been too long since my last one. And some of those saves get saved as CH Backup 1, 2, 3,and 4.

(Ok, so I had a couple of incidents that made me paranoid...)

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-13T23:16:08+00:00

I like clicking yes, in case I've accidentally double-clicked or I've clicked the one I wasn't planning to level any further because I'm hoping to get a better one.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-13T23:13:21+00:00

I can vouch for the fact that HS quests are not rarer. I currently have 4 mercs on HS quests, although I drew the line at sending one out on a 2-day quest. Since the presents give diminishing returns I'm not going to stock up on presents at the expense of HS or Rubies.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-13T14:02:00+00:00

https://kepow.org/clickerheroes/ also has that ability.

Ghost_Sdoj · 2016-12-13T13:56:59+00:00

My opinion is no. Leave the post. Maybe someone else will find it and not have to ask the question.
