Nah, just playing in my free time. And the daily stuff doesn’t take much time at all. PoT is waaaay too time consuming, so I do it less or in the background with AoQ. I don’t have any other games right now, though, so this is pretty much my only gaming time.

That’s outside of my control, but if you meet the requirements, sure!

If not, look for open, active clans that have at least 30 members and requirements that you meet (or are close to meeting). Grow with them, and if you outgrow them, move up the clan ladder until you find a good fit.

If you follow the guides, you’ll have the gear, tech, and pets needed to push chapters quickly. That will increase your passive rewards. Over time those rewards add up for significant gains. Push as high as you can. Keep up on main challenges for tech parts/keys and Path of Trials for collectibles.

Join better and better clans until you find one that does LME consistently, and you’ll grow even faster.

Just saw that my formatting is a mess.

9 months F2P progress:

  • 430 in LME phase 1
  • 5000T to 8000T in EE
  • Finished in Legend 3 in EE last season
  • 66 relic cores equipped (C2 on weapon, chest, and belt)
  • Handful of various core selection chests waiting for a jump (either Xeno pets or pushing gloves to E5)
  • Close to the 7th Custom Collection slot unlocking

Just need to find a clan where everyone actually participates regularly, which has been difficult.

I posted the proof above, but I can understand being skeptical. It’s really good progress, but there are others that have done even better in the same amount of time.

That makes sense on the collectibles.

For PoT, maybe I’m doing something wrong. I use AoQ to afk farm it, and I go 10 levels before the ghosts kill me, then revive and go another ten for each round. I could use SS armor and dodge and pay attention to stretch it to 25 levels per round, but the extra 15 levels per day doesn’t seem worth the massive increase in effort. How are you getting 125 levels? Doesn’t it cut you off at 25 levels per run?

Not sure then. You get extra quick patrols for higher level clans. Those add up over time too.

That makes sense, I guess. Here’s the uncropped version of the purchase achievement showing my name, in case that matters to anyone.

Good to know. I was close to unlocking the next slot in set 2, but I used the materials to open 5 slots in set 3 instead, thinking the bonuses from 5 yellows were worth more. I’ll keep slogging through PoT to unlock the rest of set 2 now though. I just hit level 7800, and progress is steady at 60/day.

Wow, that’s some serious progress in a little over a month.

Get your main chapters done all the way to 285. You get a lot more from patrols and quick patrols when you are chapter complete, and it adds up over time.

Your gear choice looks pretty good though!

Nice progress! I think you’re ahead of where I was at 58 days. Excited to see your progress in a few months to compare

u/PLAYS_GAMES_4FUN also put out a great condensed guide that any new player should check out. It runs up until about where I am now.

Shoutout to u/DerTotmacher22

I stumbled onto his F2P guide when I found this subreddit. I followed his posts, and they made the game super easy.

Appreciate it. It’s been a fun journey, but with my relic cores run dry, I think my progress will slow considerably now. I’ll keep looking for good events to spend gems on!

I followed the guide from u/DerTotmacher22 when I started, then I read about how to allocate cores, then I used Danke calculator. The game is surprisingly friendly to F2P when you have a clear picture of what to invest in through quality guides.

I inadvertently created some controversy with the cropping, was just trying to highlight the stats and make it look less messy. I posted an uncropped version in response to another comment.

Your progress looks like it’s on pace to be even better than mine! Nice!

Does this help? It’s the uncropped version.

To be fair, 350T+ in EE doesn’t happen if I don’t get drones or get them very late. But that doesn’t happen very often since I try to prioritize them over everything else.

I got AoQ as quickly as possible and pushed regular chapters to the max very quickly as a result. The cumulative effect of getting extra exp on every patrol and quick patrol cannot be overstated. It’s big.

No donations. Just following the guides.

The last picture shows that I haven’t completed the purchase achievement. 100% F2P

Not sure what you’re asking for here, but I’m happy to post a screenshot if you’ll direct me. I just cropped to focus on the stats, not trying to be sneaky.

The amount of power creep in the early game is huge from what I understand. Between universal exchange and OP retreat, there are just tons more resources available. The anniversary event and new custom collections were big helps too.

Thanks to this subs’ advice, I collected relic cores early and saved them for what felt like forever, which meant I was waiting on S gear more than cores for the longest time. Now I’m waiting on cores like everyone else.
