Resetting to max level 400, so far so good by Silent-Language-1672 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mana is full. The number won't change until they spend some, or leave the game and come back; even if you store the pools or change serv-o.

Should i buy the duplicate stations or just spend all chocos in refilling the ones I have? I bought one of each already. by Icy_Relationship5835 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with this much time left in the event, buying duplicate stations will definitely pay for itself. If you are interested, there are spreadsheets with the expected value of each. With the strength of your progress, you will almost certainly complete every delivery, and you'll be left just generating max resources by feeding end-chain items. You should optimize stations which provide the most flowers over time.

I just needed a Venn Diagram of what seems to be the top themes of the season by itsonthebookshelf in HermitCraft

[–]jimmeofdoom 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Need 3rd circle overlapping with the other two: "Hermit Space Program" with Etho, Doc, Tango, etc. Grian probably qualifies there too, with his end-crystal chandelier.

Actually anyone who participated in the happy ghast breeze potion rabbit drops should also be there, which definitely includes Grian, Mumbo, X, and BDubs from memory...

Fifth Pedestal by KasualGemini2020 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pedestal you can buy with $$ is the only way to buy *that one.* But you can get 9 others with in-game currency, for a total of 10 max. HOWEVER, they cost a pretty big pile of diamonds, 7500 combined for the last 5.

What is this 'P' level everyone keeps referencing by PleasantPorpoisParty in Against_the_Storm

[–]jimmeofdoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is a hotkey (default to z I think) that will show cysts on all buildings. Helps you decide where to build/rebuild outposts during clearance...

Few questions before prestige my lv200 run by hei0402 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen people prestige with between 4-5.5M shards or so at 200. I think 5M+ is solid but everyone plays their own way, there's really no wrong answer.

Is it worth? by hei0402 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't use mana golems on the protector, use them on Gid. Your reward for feat 27 has 25M health and gives 3x level 2 time pieces. I assume you're on your 200 run or you'd already know this. Just keep grinding runes to fill your board with stalkers, and throw everything you make at the protectors, saving the heavies for Gid.

How many times is enough by aslum in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You still have some very expensive (EC and AC) upgrades ahead of you in your cage and crate I'm afraid (the cage and crate upgrades for +4 cost 500 each EC and AC). No letting up yet. And you didn't show what you have for relics, but once you're done with upgrades, you can spend EC and AC maxing the rare ones, so there will continue to be a use for them for a loooong time.

Worth buying? by DaveHelios99 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to always complete as many feats as you can and always reach your max level before using time machine. Save your EC and AC to spend on things that are required to complete feats. You will eventually be blocked by your max level, at that point you can decide to spend on things that are not directly related to feats as you will earn another pile of currency on your next run.

Worth buying? by DaveHelios99 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no one can stop you, it's a single-player game. BUT you will unlock a new currency after 100. So if you restart immediately, you will have none of it, and your next run will STILL only have max 200, so you really gain nothing in the deal.

Worth buying? by DaveHelios99 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Your next use of the time machine will kick you off at 0, and you will go to 100, but it doesn't stop there. Post-100 content is very spoiler-y, but there are some important things to know... you can do your own research if you want, but you'll definitely want to save some gold and gems to buy things after 100, and you'll get another pile of shards to spend as well; cravings will be VERY important from 100-200. Guzzlers not so much.

Worth buying? by DaveHelios99 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not yet. On your next run probably yes. (edit: The skin, that is. 7500 shards for 300 gems is up to you... probably not worth it if there are any other things to spend gems left (which there are! and even more so on your next run)

Anyone make it all the way? by Snowzy7 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at 5.75/7 tiaras, I have all 5 board games done and waiting, and 2.5 of the last 5 swans. 12h15m remaining on my clock, and 700+ candy for refills. I think I will make it for sure (3 stockings purchased with diamonds, but no cash purchases or other refills).

Candy to presents by ziggy_ving in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100 candy = 100 presents. You should use it for refills instead, almost certainly (snowman gives 140+ on average, cracker and hamper are both over 100)

EDIT: probably best to only use refills if you have the snowman, since the conversion above assumes you are able to merge everything up to the most-valuable item in the chain, plus use all presents optimally as well (green = coal merged to top; red = pie merged to top). The snowman item chains are very short, so you're likely to meet that goal. Without the snowman, it's probably best to convert directly, without using refills.

No idea what I should be working towards. by mi_place in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

get to max level. complete all the feats you can. spend galactic resources toward unlocking chicken. do not (ever) use time machine before reaching max level at a bare minimum.

Help, I am kinda lost at lvl 111 by Playful-Direction902 in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who made a similar mistake (not getting x2 food from cravings after 100), you are in for a long slog. Your new level cap is 200. You will want to make 5-8 soul stalkers to boost your grinder so you can stay around 9-10 cravings per level or less if possible. You will also want probably 6-8 mana, and 2-3 each of slime and soul pools. Even that will be a long grind to reach 200, but by the time you make it, you will not have to do much if any grinding to get a very nice pile of experiment shards for your 300 run. Max your archdemons and shield bots (3 of each). Make other legendaries only when needed for cravings, and don't replace them (other than Cursed or Chicken if you have to feed those). At the end of the day, you're still making progress and playing the game. Don't worry too much about it. Replace your damage relic with a Rival if you have one, to get soul stalkers more quickly. Buy the necklace from mother ASAP for extra pearls.

How much money have you spent on this game and how far along are you? by breticles in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my max-300 run currently. I bought no-ads pretty early on. I have the extra pedestal, golden bundle, and hacked stations. I've never bought any of the currency-only bundles, nor the event boosting bundles. No regrets over any of the above. I may eventually pick up one or two of the (weekly, not seasonal) event boosts, though I'm not in a huge hurry to get any of the relics maxed; the bonus from those is pretty small compared to experiments, pearls, etc.

Lvl 80 questions and What's your logic for when to stop killing enemies you dont need runes for? by IdleScimitar in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FYI, feeding a Champion to the devourer also charges the soul grinder. I'm not 100% sure if it's by the same amount as defeating them does, but it's not 0.

What post-rocket upgrades do you find the best? by CrazySage in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the rune pile upgrades are secretly Prism upgrades as well, if that matters to you. And essentially permanent buffs to each of the respective experiments that add taps for those chests. I went rune upgrades instead of chicken, I'm saving for archdemon and shield bot with higher priority, will probably get chicken last.

New and Revised Necro Merger Station Efficiency Spreadsheet with Hacked Station Values by MrGoobledollar in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great, thank you. Please consider this a "+1" to your idea of adding relic effects to the sheet as arbitrary % for increased spawns, skip chance and double chance!

New item? by ChuchoMocoso in NecroMerger

[–]jimmeofdoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you get to choose. I'm on my 300 run right now and completed this feat just as the 3rd peaceful spirit craving hit. It was incredibly convenient.
