IMHO i think the veteran retire buffs needs to be revisited; as a small percentage buff in gear stats is much effort for so little. unless there is something i don't see.... all i saw was a 6% puff to neck that ammounts to a couple stats on gear.....meh....
A new guide to leveling hardcore? ImHO i'd say the combat buffed assassin is the best as a nerfed economy = nerfed sorcerer; gem prices makes it tough to get gems enchantments to overcome the combat buffs in my experience.
at first i'd say getting some damage enchants at 99(stick to 99 as the cost of enchants gets exponential and punitive the higher you go; there's just not enough gold generation for it); maby a couple health generation enchants; but after you get to level 50 gear and level 50 experience in combat damage buffs then stack energy regeneration enchants till you can set special attacks on small and have a sustainable fulltime specials attack. then you can start pushing monster levels into red.
I don't really see any "tricks" its turned into a balanced idle game thats pretty grind idlish now. Its a good and bad thing...good that playing doesn't get boring to soon....bad that you don't have much to do OCD style to get things to level faster.
lol....i deleted my saves so i had to start from zero....wow the new balance is definately making you be patient. will be interesting to see how the vet gear is balanced.
are you sure the scaling of the money buffs are working? they aren't scaling....many are just 2 points regardless...?
are there any guides to crystal fusion and liquid crystalizations for making metal? I made a plutonium but i used like 40 gems and 300k crystals....anyone firgure out any general formulas?
300k ores isn't a lot. To get the rarest metals like nanocrystal and quillite you probably need to fuse billions at once. Tucking in a few gems always helps too.
i found a different way to get to your planets and systems that turn invisible just use the universal planet statistics button; you can get to each planet from there or find the first planet of each sector then use the "solar system" button after you manage your planet.
If you have a decently sized power plant farm with their third path levels at least level 2 then speeding up 29 days should be a walk in the park. Even easier and less-grindy if you upgrade their power in the Extras section in the shop.
O...My.....you never told me about the "Planet Tile Operations" button.....to all us noobs.....that is a sanity saver. chain upgrade upgrade and finish buildings to build and upgrade the upgrades till it gets to expensive for your blood....
humm....is there a way to fix this galaxyview bug? i finally went to attack a different galaxy away from my home galaxy and now i can't see the home sector solar systems.
THE FIRST GLEAN WAS COOL..glean 2 isn't quite as intuitive....having a hard time understanding the manufacture crafting processes. very unclear what to do.
 "DPS Idle"){kind=icon}
 "Mech Conquest"){kind=icon}
 "Prime World: Defenders"){kind=icon}
 "Helixteus"){kind=icon}
