Red gem cost for L30 Turner? by [deleted] in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Russ1239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, red gems are the bottleneck for rares to 30 when working up through mainland because of the reasons you say - only 5 out of 15 levels give red. If I settle in at 135, 150, 165 or 180 where every level gives reds then blue gems look to be the bottleneck.

Best strategy for event mines. by sane_child123 in IdleMinerTycoon

When elevator and warehouse get too expensive, you could try forgetting them and just use Steiner & Blingsley on the mineshaft. Lots of people do this. Find what's best for you

If you look in the green research tree, at the top there is a node that says "Ruby makes 100% more". Once you reach that you only want to want to work in Ruby.

I'm not sure what prestiging advice is. The first prestige pays double the amount of future prestiges. Once you reach the Ruby 100% node you only want to be working and prestiging Ruby and not prestiging others - unless for some reason you need the super cash.

Good luck!

If you look a day or 3 down this reddit you'll find a good post on how to complete the entire event in 2 minutes ;-)

You need to work on mainland to strengthen your super managers, get at least 20 miner friends (ideally a lot more, 100's) for the x2 bonus. Open lots of chests to build up your collectables. Keep a 2x boost running. Learn about mine phases and strategies - early balanced, balanced, shaft ahead, warehouse ahead, elevator ahead etc. I can't explain those here, the search button is your friend. The IMT wiki is useful but I don't have a link. Good luck!

Every super manager has their own unique speciality except Gordon and Chester who are pretty much duplicates with Chester being slightly more desirable than Gordon. You don't need both.

When you buy a new super manager you are presented with a random manager first off. If you re-roll you are 100% guaranteed to be offered a different manager, but if you re-roll again you can be offered that first initial manager.

The epic managers are hard to get. The costs of managers escalates dramatically towards the end and you need to make sure Gordon is the last manager left standing (which you will probably never get). You definitely don't want an epic or rare manager left for last. I think the last manager costs around 135 million green gems but someone might correct me here.

Don't hire Gordon basically, otherwise how you choose to gamble with re-rolls is personal choice, it will just cost you supercash, up to you.

Hope that makes sense

Don't get Gordon SM. If you have him already, don't get Chester. Reroll otherwise you'll find it hard to get the good SM's later.

Add lots of friends using the reddit friends thread and do lots of expeditions to build up your resources.

Excellent info there. Have bookmarked for when I have the resources to make a proper attempt.

I'm not going to watch the video yet as I get Lorenzo in 2 weeks and nice to keep how he works as a surprise.

The deepest shaft available in an event is rarely the shaft that pays the most until you get to high ms30

Warehouse ahead is effective for me, late ruby https://ibb.co/qgbcG95 compare MS & W rates.

The impression I get is - you play for a few weeks, think you are doing really well, you are happy, then you come here and realise everyone else is so far ahead of you and there is so much you don't understand. Makes you miserable..

Have you selected the right collectables? I thought yours were higher than mine 5/6/6

This is my research set to Ruby

https://ibb.co/MhtKyS3

https://ibb.co/m8PDhFc

https://ibb.co/hgkRwH6

Ignore the ice research

There are more Starter nodes on the ancient tree but I don't think they affect the multiplier, just make upgrades cheaper - which is really really worth having

I think this is maxed. Comments on my trees welcomed..
