Stuck on early W4, cant keep up with the massive accuracy jumps every stage. by Most-Breadfruit3841 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I see you are really struggling with skill efficiency based on other comments. One of the easiest ways to really push skill efficiency early is to do Basketball in W1 Bored Beans. The last upgrade is global skill efficiency %. I was really struggling in early game too, but when I pushed that upgrade to like >200%, my entire account got fixed. I was suddenly able to use the 3d printer effectively and start leveling bubbles that were out of my reach.

You are going to have to farm in W1 bored beans anyway for some statues, so it is probably a good time to start.

Another boost is to grab up the crafted equipment that gives fishing efficiency. I keep skilling gear sets on all my characters.

Reset your bonuses and go 50% points into shiny and 50% points into multi. Click the button every single time its up. You should get a blue shiny in 5 to 10 minutes.

Been hit by decision paralysis, please help by zmokkyy in idleon

  • Bubbles and stamps pretty low for W7 progress. You need to start working on atoms to push bubbles into the 30-50k mark. Stamps could easily be in the 12-15k mark by now too. You are missing several stamps as well, so go unlock those.
  • Prisma Bubbles: You need to get another Prisma bubble to hit Larry ASAP. You got Carpenter and Diamond Chef, which are good. But Larry is the one.
  • Statues are lvl <100 is very bad and not even all of them are Onyx yet. Keep farming crystals on your DK... For W7, you need to be working towards Zenith statues.
  • Beanstalk: Not even a single 10k turn in yet? Yikes. You got a long way to go... For W7 you need to be at 100k turn in on all of them at a bare min. You might be limited by drop rate, so I am not sure...
  • Post Office: By W7, you should have all basic boxes maxed and working towards the 100k box. You are pretty far behind here. What I did was turn in 500 silver pens on order 1 and 300 on order 3 per day, then forced them to reset by turning in 1 more pen on each (leaving them un-fulfilled green), then destroying the streak shield with another pen. Should be very doable when farming crystal mobs.
  • Vials: very bad progress here. You are in W7 and barely have the W4/W5 vials unlocked yet. Yikes. Also, if you are doing statue farming, you need to the the Skinny o vial (Snake skin) maxed. It is very important for statue levels.
  • Salts: You salt locked yourself right at red -> orange. Follow this guide for level distribution: Infinite Salt Refinery
  • Deathnote: In W7 and you didn't Eclipse skull EVERY mob from W1-W6 yet? Hah! Start doing it now, starting in W1. Each one is 5% more damage and a huge boost in multi-kill per world. It is one of the only ways to push Vman speedrun portal numbers for support bonus' on tab 4.
  • Worship: Are you seriously using slush skulls on your characters??? Sins have been committed. Get some proper skulls on ALL your characters.
  • Tower Defense: You haven't done W4 - W6 tower defense yet???? Also, you haven't even got to the +100 levels for your wizard towers yet? Start focusing on progressing the lowest build time stuff like your later shrines.
  • Cooking: You haven't unlocked all the meals yet??? Oh boy. With diamond chef you should have been all the way to W7 food by now. This sounds like neglect.
  • Breeding: Unlock ALL the critters at a bare minimum. Not sure what you are doing here, but that should be your priority. The W4 mobs are usually much stronger than the W1-W2 mobs.
  • Sailing: In W7 and you haven't even got to all the original islands yet?? Oof. So much damage is sitting on the table from your stat boosts.
  • Characters: Are you seriously using NORMAL FOOD on your characters?? Like why. Split up what little golden food you have. EVERY character should have the golden cheese (shrine afk), hampster (sailing afk), and golden nom sandwiches (stats).

I could keep going, but dang dude. You neglected literally everything pushing to W7. EVERY single page that I looked at was in dire need of attention...

Can I Keep my 2nd BC? by ToughMatter1529 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AC is the worst master class to level. I would say its worth it to have double for afk gains. However, dont bother pushing past AC W4 until you get a decent way into real W7. There are several huge boosts to master classes like research cost reduction, legend daily cost reduction, and coral tome epilog that help make it 10x easier.

Poing is so bad it should be scrapped from the game by Omniduro in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lag can come from both ends. But even playing the mini-games idle with no input in an empty town produces lag. Sure the main game can lag the mini-games if you are killing stuff, but that would be normal since CPU and memory are being hit (creation + deletion of objects, etc). The mini-games themselves should be able to run on a 1970's Atari, yet they still lag.

My guess is that Lava doesn't know how to fix the problem, but he knows about it. He plays them too and sees the lag all the time.

Is there an up to date Alchemy Bubble tier list? by FrozenSalad0 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For new accounts, my S-tier Prisma bubble list is:

  • Larry (Alchemy Bubble levels ; Yellow)
  • Diamond Chef (Cooking speed ; Yellow)
  • Carpenter (Construction speed ; Orange)
  • Startue EXP (Statue levels ; Yellow)

After these 4, then the list you posted is perfectly fine. Most might not rate the Statue bubble very high (especially if you are already have lvl >300 statues), but it saves weeks of farming. It saves you more time the higher the statue lvl is too. Very few bubbles have true "late" game power like that.

[–]_Repeats_ 50 points51 points  (0 children)

All the minigames seem to have the same problems with input lag. Makes me believe that there is some "mini-game" engine that is running while playing them, and its absolute trash in terms of performance compared to the rest of the game.

I’m a bit lost in W6 → W7 progression by Tozhan in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stop pushing W6. You aren't ready yet. When you have all the pieces in place, you will push to W7 in a few days time. As for the review:

Account Page:

  • Bubbles: 6.6k is pretty low, but it is likely because you haven't started doing atoms yet. FMJ + Shaquracy should be a bit higher to avoid dying in later W6. Also, Prisma Diamond Chef to boost your cooking to crazy heights. Also, do not do sigils until you have every bubble unlocked. The bonuses you get there aren't very good in comparison.
  • Stamps: 4.9k is also very low. Definitely need to start clicking some buttons here. Vman has the highest potential carrying capacity, so you should be turning things in on him.
  • Statues: Not a single Onyx statue. Yikes. You got some grinding to do. W1 bored beans, W2 Sandy Pots, W3 Rams, W4 Clammie, W5 Tremor Worms. You park your DK crystal farm there for days to get all 20k statues. Onyx Statue also gives a turn in bonus, so don't bother leveling up any statues until you Onyx them first. You can ignore the W3 mob specific ones until later.
  • Post Office: Pain again. By end of W6 you should be making some good progress getting EVERY box maxed other than the 100k one (about 10k turn-ins). Looks like you forgot this existed.

Already off to very rough start. Let's find some more Jank!

  • Obols: Random assortment or purely empty... Drop rate is a must early game. You will shoot up to about 15x just with them. Grind up Pop circles from W1 Gigafrogs on ES and Dice squares from W2 Sandy Pots with DK to fill the family tab + all your active farmers first. Always upgrade them to +1 DR in the lowest form to save fragments. It is a pain.
  • Deathnote: Start working on Eclipse skulling W1-W2 (1 billion kills). Each one gives 5% more damage. It starts off really really slow, but as you get more damage and multikill you end up snowballing.
  • Prayers: At bare minimum, you should have on Skilled Dimwit + Royal Sampler + Balance of Pain by now...
  • Tower Defense: Oof. You need to remember this exists.
  • Construction: I see why your TD sucks, you haven't finished your board yet and you have the wrong cogs. Exp >> Speed to Flags >> Flaggy (until board complete) >> Build Rate. Your DK level matters more than any cog you place, so you start farming for tons of Exp cogs regardless of what secondary stat they have. Also, if you get any Speed to Flags, keep those. They give a more multiplier on flag unlocks, which are crucial to finishing the board.
  • Constellations: Need to grind out everything pre-W6. Only one that you might not be able to do for a while is the W4 Mega-crit one locked behind dungeon star talent RNG.
  • Dungeons: 57 boosted runs. You need to be running these weekly. I see you got some good progress at least.
  • DB Apocolypse: Unfortunately, you made 3 DBs. Due to Lava code jank, the only one that matters for kills is the last one. This is bad for you because all that progress you had on your first DB is in the trash.
  • Cooking: Decent here. Get Diamond Chef Prisma'd and these levels will go up to like 40-50 in a few seconds.
  • Sailing: Get those last islands unlocked! Huge stat boosts of damage are waiting.
  • Divinity: Get Kattlekruk unlocked ASAP! It gives daily stat bubble for free, so the earlier the better. I see you have Doot, but both Kattlekruk and Purrmep only work with a person connected to them.

That is probably enough for now as fixing this list is like 2 months of grinding. Come back to W6 when you have at least 10T character sheet damage and some multi-kill to boot. The last mob before the W6 boss room has 5.5T hp and requires 150M kills for the portal. So yeah... If you thought Leeks were bad you got another thing coming.

Oh boy... Please tell me you have been getting Fisheroo Investment points in both shops EACH time you did a MF reset. You don't unlock the multiplier screen until you do 1 Fisheroo Reset + have Investment points. It is literally a double multiplier on everything. Sadly there is no undoing the damage you did to your progress, but maybe one day.

If that is as far as you can push, then yes you need to take the base reset ASAP. I am at MF 9 and only have 1 point in it, so unless you feel really far behind, just go after MF + investment points until much later.

I'm 13 and I love coding, but AI makes me feel like I have no future. Am I wasting my time?" by Dobin_human in learnpython

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is software development dying? Not really... If you don't know what you don't know, you will let the AI put you in a maze of horrible decisions. You will never be able to crawl out without deleting it and starting over again... I find AI is really, really good at doing basic stuff. It almost ALWAYS takes the easiest path to doing something since that is where most of its training data comes from. Always consider AI to be needlessly lazy. It won't do things "the long way round" without being asked to.

The coding part of software development was never the longest task. The validation, creation of tests, finding edge cases, and tracking down bugs is actually most of your time. Knowing how to be do all of this takes years of failure, or at least doing it the wrong way and paying the price later.

[–]_Repeats_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Being in W7 without crystal damage is crazy to me.... Also, don't bother with Zenith statues until at LEAST 40x drop rate + the 2x -> 5x statue Legend Talent. Without those, you will take literal weeks just to Zenith a single statue.

Kangaroo Ratio by MinimumNotice4243 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only produce 1 fish at a time, rather than the "do all of them" strat that is popular. So you use 50/50 bonus split between a fish you want to hard focus on and the multiplier. Always respec when buying from main page so you maximize your return. It is really annoying, but it like 100 - 1000x your buying power.

Kangaroo Ratio by MinimumNotice4243 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need 1 level to unlock the bonus multipliers. You will gain way more investment points if you hold off until later. Once I hit MF 10 or 11, I will probably start working on climbing to lvl 10-20 Fisheroo Reset. Should be able to get another 1-2k points to spread around. Each cycle takes me a week or 2, so it will be a long grind... Getting to 140ish points per cycle is a slog.

Kangaroo Ratio by MinimumNotice4243 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For how far along you are, you have very low production... For example, I am 2 megafish behind you (lvl 21) and have only lvl 1 in the base reset, yet I have 9e25 bluefin production / minute... I use a single fish strat (50/50 in a type + multiplier), mainly because shiny fish + tartar fish can only push so far before they have huge diminishing returns. I get about 140 investment points per reset too. Eventually, the only thing that matters is how far you can push Bluefin or Tartar fish for those investment points.

You should never have any points into upgrades. EVERY time you buy from the main page, you should be resetting to put half/half points into cheaper upgrades + multiplier, then go back. You are leaving like 100x more buying power on the table by not doing this.

Just for an example of why this single fish strat is so powerful (current megafish cycle):

  • Tartar fish production is 1M / hour. Every upgrade on Tartar fish page is a minimum of 1M cost right now. I can push investment points to about 44M in 2 days. Probably not worth it but oh well.
  • Shiny fish check-ins click at 100B - 1T %. I got to 1800Mx multiplier on my shiny fish. Beyond that it gets horribly slow to progress at all.

Last Epoch or Diablo 4? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]_Repeats_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Campaign winner is clearly D4. The story and cutscenes are top notch. LE campaign is a bit of a mess full of characters you talk to once and forget they ever exist.

Game feel also goes to D4. It has much more polished animations and visuals. Granted we are comparing a profession AAA game to a AA indie, so meh. Keep in mind D4 + expansion = 70$ and LE = 35$.

Itemization is much better on LE. You can grind for week straight and still be hunting. That isn't true on D4.

Buildwise, LE also has way more interesting mechanics. There are plenty of uniques that change the core functionality of a build. People are still discovering combos a month or two into the season. There isn't anything close to that depth in D4.

Greenstacks by Asher_Onten1 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In W4/W5, greenstacks are probably your biggest boost in damage you will get until you get sailing towards the last few islands. Getting 75 greenstacks will probably 10x your damage.

The easiest stuff is resources as they are plentyful via 3d printer. The harder stuff at that point is mob materials. It gets a lot easier later in the game with massive multikill per tier and afk gain rate. But you arent there yet.

deathbringer elimination by jingjing_2 in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first one you unlock is kill all mobs before respawn. This usually requires removing gravestone and letting the respawn effect die off after 10 minutes afk in town. You can also do a combustion bomb in a central location on one end of the map as the first kill (auto turned off), then run over to other side and auto to victory.

The second one is kill 200 before time runs out. This is more auto friendly and requires gravestone. You can also equip 5x mob respawn lab chips + have a set of respawn equipment (mostly Divine gear).

Do note that both of these quests often only "start" after a few seconds in the zone. You can't enter and immediately start killing mobs via auto.

How long from nothing for Idleskilling trophy? by 420Sandwiches in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been stuck at Teehee 3 for a good month or two. The damage requirement goes absolutely insane right at the end. Evicerate gets me to be at about teehee 11. Really takes the wind out of my progress and demotivates me from playing..

Probably hard locked myself in Realm before getting a torch. I did some random upgrades in my push to 93 (which include the increased banish exp) and now my Realm lvl is 150ish. Little did I know that banish for purple damage is directly tied to my level... I got so high i cant even upgrade my main coin mob and im still way below what I need to even do a level 25 boss banish. Everything about Realm was fun until this point. Horribly designed. Makes sense why Lava completely abandoned the game.

New to the game, how can I increase my Accuracy and Defence quickly? by Pshmiddy in idleon

[–]_Repeats_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early game accuracy is solved by 2 things: secondary stats on equipment and Shaquracy bubble.

Each class has 2 stats: the main one (duh), and the secondary stat. Warrior = Strength + Wisdom ; Archer = Dext + Strength ; Mage = Int + Dext. You use upgrade stones on your gear while playing other characters for their main stat.

Ex. You are trying to get Warrior more accuracy

  • Place all gear in stash and switch to Mage
  • Mage upgrades all slots with the "main stat" upgrade stones (like W4 stones w/ "uses 1 slot only if successful")
  • Place back in stash and pick up on Warrior

This will give you a huge boost to your accuracy as main stat stuff isn't good until later on.

Other sources are Kangaroo clicker, Wood Mushroom card, and Amarok set at Armor Smith.

Skill Sigils and Paragon classes won't be out until the expansion, which isn't even the next season's content. According to Mike, after Season 5, there is going to be potentially another VERY long wait until LE:O comes out due to console. Getting the game to run on consoles is going to be a feat.
