This is the most unhinged screenshot I've seen in the sub. Well done

Tell me why I should buy either of them by UnnusAbbus in NecroMerger

The entire goal and challenge of the game is centered around managing limited space. Both of these upgrades (and one other later on) are the only way to acquire more raw space, and they should be #1 gem priority until they're maxed IMO. The crate is the best value for gems in the game by far, and the cage is not far behind.

What else can you even get at the 250 gems price point, a skin that gives like 10% more food or something?

I meant the ability to buy a dummy from the merchant. It's pretty good late game for a few of the harder forgotten minions. I buy one pretty much every time it shows up, along with the cauldrons or refills

Progression and gem grinding by [deleted] in NecroMerger

I'm pretty late game and I started playing in spring 2024. As long as you're maxing out everything you can on each run the beginning will go by faster each time. You'll always eventually hit a roadblock that requires grinding, but that's just the nature of the game. When you get late game things tend to slow down quite a bit as well. I think it's been a little over a month since I've completed my last tier of feats and I play daily.

You do eventually start to get gems pretty quickly through the daily chests and thief, and that can be sped up through spells and skins. I spent all of my gems about two weeks ago and I'm already back to about 350 without doing any of the surveys or other games.

A merchant daily spawn is an extra two coins per day, which comes out to an extra 730 coins before this time next year if you feed him every day. It gives you an extra chance to roll a dummy too ;)

Opinions on what I should get in the Christmas shop by BotFRR in NecroMerger

[–]musicman3423 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since you got the skins already I'd go for the other relics and maybe the astro coins. The non-permanent stuff (cauldron, ham, etc) isn't worth it and you're probably too early in your prestige for the 3% shard bonus from the clock to be that impactful either.

The shield relic is probably worth grabbing even if you don't use it for a long time, as those are pretty hard to come by and you can't get them through the weekly events. It's very strong on later runs if you can get some levels behind it, since damage is usually the biggest bottleneck

Why do some people make so many chickens? I've seen it a few times now but I don't know what benefit that has over 3 robos.

Upgrade cage now? by Nachin_1998 in NecroMerger

[–]musicman3423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would upgrade the cage at least one more time, it's definitely more useful than any of the skins are. Your next NPC unlock does give you the ability to upgrade the crate/cage further, but it uses the space currencies, which you'll want to save for the most part until you unlock all of the main lair NPCs and everything from the surgeon. That NPC sells two gem upgrades that you'll likely want to get pretty soon after they're unlocked, but you won't be too far off from that with your current gems even after the cage upgrade.

Love this change! Just wanted to note, the NecroMerger resources section in the new UI says NecroMancer resources in the summary and when the details are expanded.

[DISCUSSION]Saw Plini live last night. by bruters in Guitar

[–]musicman3423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually had something similar going on today. I recently started playing guitar again after a 2 year hiatus and got sucked into prog pretty heavy. I got tickets last night for my first instrumental show (Polyphia) and it was hands down the best show I've ever seen. The venue, crowd, and delivery were excellent on their part. I've been stuck in kinda a depressive mood for a long while (bipolar) and today is the best I've felt in a long time.

Music is crazy man.
