@Wariat117 - The real reward for exporting your file is not losing your progress. Plus you can gain Epic Coins via export/import feature too. Simply export the file before you go to sleep / before midnight. You can then keep importing the file to reset daily missions to get the more rewarding ones. Just don't get too greedy since it's tedious to do plus will crash unity player at certain point. Low end device should crash more often.

@ouzhibin - Rebirth 4 requires Temple rank 3 which isn't implemented just yet. It's not the only building that can't be upgraded past certain point. Mystic Arena (rank 3), Arcane Researcher (rank 4) and Adventuring Party (rank 2) are also locked and can't be upgraded. Dojo, Tavern and the final 10th area (Unicorn Island) aren't implemented yet either. World Ascension is only available at tier 1 too. All we can do is wait for the next update.

Huh, it seems Kong fixed the first swarm badge! I finally got it yesterday after refreshing the page. Does anybody else experienced the same? As a side note after 5 months i managed to reach 2000 mission milestone. 2500 Pet level should follow soon enough. There's almost no easy upgrades for me to do so my progress should slow down at this point.

kongregate randomly logged me out when I was starting the game, when I logged back and refreshed I lost everything, glad i exportef file few hours earlier

As for spider issue, one thing you can do right now is combat poison with HP regen and life potions. They're the strongest defence early game and are extremely useful for clearing harder zones/dungeons or pushing certain level thresholds on your character (rebirths 2/3 mostly). With normal magicslime pet to replenish potions you can grind hard zones while being AFK too. Also potions that expire when you enter the zone can be used infinitely as long as you take them off before you enter the zone. Extremely useful for dungeons (EXP/gold/HP regen potions), but too tedious for normal zones.

Research speed is based on the current stone/crystal/leaf amount you have. Speed increases by 1 for every extra number in the total amount (1 + logarithm10), so 1000 is 4, 10000 is 5 etc.. The game runs normally as long as you don't switch browser tabs OR have another program/game running in fullscreen mode (borderless is fine). I simply have 2 browser windows open at the same time. IEH window is small and the other is large and covers IEH window by a large degree. You can play other games just fine like that too.

Welp that was annoying. System crash and no backup and lost everything - about a month of play time. Going to pass on doing that again.

I didn't use stone at all in those 2H, it was idle in background, rn I just used stone to check what you said, and it didn't affect research time at all

Have you been spending stone at all? Research speed is based on how many of the related resource you currently possess, so if you're spending them, the research will take longer.

@Wariat117 - Potions you make and upgrades you buy are multiplied by the number directly below "HELP" button. Spider's poison is quite annoying early on but it quickly becomes a non-issue. I think after my first World Ascension the problem simply vanished.

Yep, the "easy BotD" of reaching guild level 20 took 10 days to achieve. Nice one, especially when the online component does not even work if the window is not open.

@Quayle - my bad, i completely misread your question somehow. Accomplishment states "within the first X mins", which is the time played in current world (since last ascension). In short you need to do these missions very fast. YOU HAVE TO get Pause button before you ascend your world . It's a lifesaver and allows you to complete multiple acomplishments even on your very first ascension, which might give you more points than ascension itself and will speed up your progress drastically.

@Quayle - That's a rebirth, not a World Ascension. Two different terms. World Ascension is unlocked after you complete tutorial #12 and it resets many systems are progressions. You can find the whole list inside that tab. For reference, I only reset my world 5 times within ~4,5 month of playtime (mostly leaving the game in the background, like 90% of the time). I could've done more but it didn't seem very efficient to me.

@archerbob - Potions you make and upgrades are multiplied by the number directly below "HELP" button. As for Mana Seed, it also took me ages to get my first 10 too. You can speed up the process by allocating more water (obviously) or increasing catalyst's level. First few levels make a massive difference, each one increased essence convertion speed (quickly diminishes though, hence first few levels) and byproduct chance.

@N1349 - Usually browser game saves are stored in cookies. If by any chance you deleted them or your browser/system did then you lose everything. If you didn't make any backup like developer incentivizes (although it's broken, no 100 epic coins for that) then i don't know any way to restore your progress. As for kreds, ask Kong support or try out "Restore Purchase" in Store -> Epic Coin tab. Not sure how the latter works though.

World Ascension Accomplishments, doesn't seem to work. It says I have cleared 0/164, but my fastest T1 rebirth is 56s - which means that several of them should be completed already.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@N1349 Nope, Kong is broken... I cannot even buy kreds now. Trying to report is a waste of time. Just do the badges you can and move on. I am finding progress in this game repulsively slow, in the last 10 days I managed to make 4 mana seeds that I need to rank stuff up. I'm afraid most of the badges made for game aren't really worth the effort

@Dankaw you mean my T1 passive gives me 1 area clear per 5 passive area clears ;-;? (I watched guild tab to see that they passively cleared area but swarm didn't budge... didn't bother to watch them clean area 5 times)

One of the big reasons I quit coming to Kongregate for YEARS was because they kept putting BOTD like this which take too much time out of my day to earn.

@Wariat117 - If by "passive mode" you mean background characters who are in the area that's currently being swarmed, their progress absolutely counts. It's just that area clear is multiplied by their background efficiency, which is 20% / 40% / 55% depending on rebirth title level. Extra swarm score by killing a mutant is also multiplied by it. Some thing are not reduced by background efficiency - monster capturing and quest rewards. Both are worthwhile to remember and the latter is used in a trick that's especially useful in the first few world ascensions. It's lengthy to explain it though.

@daexion - It's not that hard to manually capture enemies, early on you move slow and so do enemies. Turning off nitro (if you had it on) helps. Besides you quickly unlock automatic capture feature when you kill an enemy (Normal Spider pet QoL).

WOOOOOOW. ALL MY PROGRESS GOT RESET. AWESOME. Yeah, no, now I literally HAVE to use Georgiimo's save file (not to sound like I wasn't gonna use it even if my game didn't reset)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If georgiimo's save didn't work for you, maybe reload the game and try again, as that worked for me. I also didn't include the final newline of the text, though I don't know if the game's base 64 decoder cares about that.

Tried to import my steam version save just to get a badge, which only reset my old progress on kongregate (tried 3 different saves (exports) backups). Steam version (unity) is better for me than in-browser version (also unity, but slower and in a smaller window). I agree that the guild level 30 is not hard to reach but definitely VERY hard for a badge of the day.

The game gets kinda OK after a while, but the badge-difficulties are really wack. Having these badges as BOTD is insane!
I have a real playtime of 6.5 days, and a In-game playtime of 19.5 - and I JUST NOW, this very minute, reached Guild Level 20!
I could probably have cut one or two days off of that time, but having this badge as Badge Of The Day is ridiculous! It being "Easy" is also ridiculous!
Back when badges actually had some thought behind them, some badges that were easy were bumped up to at least medium if they took a long time. There is an easy badge for Guild level 5 - which is reasonable - Guild Level 20 being the same difficulty makes no sense!

Here is a save with lvl 20 guild: https://paste2.org/420FKOIk
Copy all the text into a text document and then import it.
WARNING: You will not be able to actually play on this save until 10th of july(but you will get the badge), so backup your old save before if you want to play the game before then.
