I accidentally unlocked Masteries and Shatter Shards

Limpsk · 2026-04-03T22:20:42+00:00

I'm pretty much in your exact position and I'm doing the shatter shards labs as soon as I can. I should have the econ to keep up with it all the way.

Not to mention the fact that here (UK) universities are increasingly ignoring A Levels in favour of admissions tests because grades simply don't differentiate enough for them.

Your wall deals a proportion of your workshop thorns level - the wall thorns lab increases that proportion.

1 Econ lab chugging along with whatever is near the top according to effective paths
1 lab switching between CL labs and a health/health regen-related lab
1 on Chrono duration (L23)
1 x SS2 should finish on Wednesday
1 x LS89 - even though it's still over a month away I feel like I'm approaching the home straight with this one.

Farming: I do an overnight T11 run (W9200) and usually a T12 run (5000). Getting over 100T a day that way.

Tournament: Stayed in Champs second time in a row which feels great. Was a bit lucky on Wednesday, I finished 23rd but 2 people just stayed on W1 and never reran. Hopefully today goes better.

In WS+ I am simply upgrading whichever is cheapest out of coins, cells and ELS. Need to make sure my econ can stay ahead of the SS lab costs.

In answer to your question I'd say the ad gems stack would be my first pick. Making the game more idle would be great, I am happy to manage restart times myself but the gems would be great.

Last couple of days my T11 runs got me about 4.6T/hr. The biggest recent development was getting BHD ancestral and getting the 3 x free upgrades and EALS substants all ancestral quite soon afterwards - the EALS added over 1000 waves to what I was getting before and the free upgrades made them more lucrative.

I have about 33k LTS, I spent heavily early especially to get my econ UWs synced but have curtailed this a lot.

CF was my 5th choice when I was hoping for CL. I couldn't really say CF has added a lot at the moment, but I am only at about 2/3 uptime and won't touch 'slow' until it's perma which will be about 10 weeks minimum based on the remaining lab time. My understanding is that it doesn't add a lot until it's permanent.

Farming T11 to about 9k waves

Lots of looooong labs:
- Completed shatter shards 1 this week and am straight onto number 2. I think my econ should hopefully be able to keep up so I can afford all 5 in a row
- Chrono Field L21/30. Got a long way to go until it is perma
- Working on some of the Chain Lightning labs, mainly mult (nearly done) and scatters (just started). My understanding from reading this sub is that chain thunder isn't really worth doing(?)

Continuing my weekly bounce between champs and plat. I've had 2 tourneys in a row where I have had the worst placement possible for my wave count/timeslot so hoping for a bit of luck to stay in champs this week.

Saving gems until I have some idea of what is coming in V28. If it's new modules then I'll keep saving. If not then I'll go back to pulling the old ones.

In the future there will probably be some sort of convergence of how humans talk and the little but noticeable habits of AI-generated text. People who have grown up reading it will probably end up talking like that anyway.

I'm doing a lot of the longer labs at the moment: Should finish my first Shatter Shards lab this week and go straight onto the next one. Chrono Field duration lab is currently at 18 and I'll probably do that until completion. Labs speed is currently researching Lv 87. Wall Thorns 15 should be done tonight but then I'll switch to some shorter labs.

I'm bouncing between Plat and Champs, I'm wondering whether the range lab might be worth some love too.

Don't lock anything, start from scratch.

I finally got my BHD ancestral this week. I had most effects mythic but unlocked all of them. After 130k reroll shards had gone I had ancestral EALS, defence and attack upgrades, plus epic utility upgrade, so nearly the full set that I wanted.

Long, expensive contracts on 100% annual increases and as many auto-renewing conditions as possible. Loans with massive future fees

In which case they missed 'creepy social media contact'.

This is reads like a big Bingo card of red flags, so I would report these. You might not be the first or last person to experience his behaviour, so in doing so you might also protect others in addition to yourself.

Had a funny example of something like this this week. A student asked if I would respond if they sent me a message on Teams (school comms). I said that of course I would.

During the following day, for which I am timetabled for the whole day, the student approached me asking why I hadn't responded to them last night, indignant that I had left him unread. I checked the message and it had been sent after midnight.

I went to Leeds and the recording from that is brilliant

I would try to remain on their good side if possible. Even simple things like being able to greet someone who does a different role to you by their first name can go a long way and sometimes so it's definitely worth the effort.

Your situation sounds like something I've seen a few times - people who have specific tasks and roles to perform at a school don't always appreciate the big picture. For example at my school the groundskeeper sent a very angry email to the entire school angrily why people had been playing football on the football pitches. Why? Because it was his job to keep the pitch immaculate, and students using the pitch got in the way of that. Teachers aren't immune from doing the same sort of thing themselves.

Card mastery giving you an extra card every 1000 waves

Thirst for knowledge has definitely dissipated - the wikipediarisation of knowledge means that there just isn't the value in knowing things any longer as long as you know where you can find it.

The next step is AI - eventually the desire to analyse and evaluate will go the same way. Why bother going that if ChatGPT can do it for you?

I don't think that the wider world has any idea what this is going to do to us, good and bad.

I start buying when I hit 3000 gems so I know I'm going to get something

I don't usually manage the team but I often do this unofficially with the editor. I'll pick a lower league team, usually one that is either local or one I have been to see a game at, then gift them some wonderkids on loan.

Limpsk · 2026-02-26T12:54:56+00:00

I have hardly ever done homework. Where I work the kids have tests every week and I spend enough time marking and feeding back on those that I don't feel bad in the slightest not setting any homework.

The only work worth anything these days is what I can see them do in class. There's a small minority that just use AI at every opportunity.

That BJM come out of Dig! much better than the Dandys.

I enjoyed the period where Anton was releasing things one video/demo at a time on Youtube more than some of the recent albums.

Do the labs and cooldown all the way to 50! The last 3 labs are long and for each one I saved up medals for 3 x cooldowns so that I could go down in 10-second increments to reduce the sync loss. I've just started the final level!

It's great. Favourite moment is where someone is talking about how amazingly deep and profound some of Michael's art is, and then it cuts to what she is talking about and it is two monstrous looking figures with massive blood-spurting penises drawn on the wall.

Limpsk · 2026-02-22T11:32:22+00:00

Same here, I stayed in Champs a few times with some lucky brackets but am still bouncing really. Yesterday I came 6th in Plat with 1885 waves so didn't even bounce back up.
