base drop of swords ia 1;5000, better not try without item drop increased to like 7/10 and some decent kill speed. Btw its sad that game chat room gone and highscores too. Wpend way too mych time here :D
@wudafxup lol, dude, this game was done by four students. You like game - can buy some boxes no problem. This game is 100% fine without paying a cent (haven't paid myself and i'm in top 3). Chests can give nice boost to early game, but this is an idle, so not liking farm/grind = not genre for you.
As for tip on early game: you wont be able to go past map 10 and level 50 for some time, so stay at map 5 till you are level 50, then farm 6-9 till you drop enough basic gear for all equip slots (you buy more slots from wandering merchant) then do crypt raid (double click key you dropped at map 3 to unlock), then next 2 raids, upgrade basic gear from raid drop, once you kill dragon boss, you can biuld Temple and do soft reset (you lose only raider levels, map and raid progression, but not items or base), then you spend your aa (ancient artifacts) on permament upgrades, repeat, progress, have fun. It's a good game, may feel little slow at start, but it gets better. It's best to give it a week to see if you like it or not.
Since dedicated forums had men nuked (merged with general), everyone in need of help is more than welcome in chat room 1, i'll try to help.

MatukasLT; there is a snapshot option for each raider i the righ side of inventory, and for all at once under. SokanShima; beat t7 raid (anubis) to drop blueprint, but you want to hold a little, since it uses up to 70k gold/hour for tiny gain, see FAQ. JhonatanS169: you need mana/potions only in the first few days, you can get fireball, 2 ignite and inner combustion to get free of cost fireball on cricital hits.
T9 set is not a bug, it's a feature. don't fix what it's not broken. OP - yes, broken - no. with obsidian gain nerfed 9 times (spawn speed), we need this "Arcane Machinegun" to advance. If game freezes for anyone - they don't have to put barrage, without books set works fine.
thanks for considering!
