The saving feature in this game is bugged (at least for me). It wont allow you to copy and paste and while you can technically write the code down manually, some games dont register it as being saved unless you copy and paste.
More on the Bug; it auto highlights the save code but wont let me right click, (or double click on touchpad for me) and when clicking it alternates between auto highlighting and de-selecting the highlighted text. So my issue is there's no way to bring up the copy-paste menu. I have screenshots and am just gonna submit a missing badge request.

"quick" guide to water god badge: focus on prestiging 10-15 times as fast as possible, working up from 001 to 003. then go for the 400 nature runes objective, which can get you 500 water pretty easily. switch your autobuy mode as appropriate to maximize your idle gains. requires quite a bit of active play, but doable within a week starting from a new save.

Also, I have gotten prestige boosts for the occult rune (I currently have 3.6e11 income boost and 5.2e11 cost reduction). It took a while to get, but it also is more advantageous to get early rune boosts until you can start prestiging very quickly.

To get the easy badge, get the magic rune (the first one) to level 100. This will take a bit of work. I started early in the week and still do not have the medium badge.

It doesn't help that there are absolutely no prestige boosts for any rune type past Light Runes. That makes the flow of the game stagnate VERY quickly.

The easy badge seems to be impossible to get... I never get a choice of magic runes. I have magic bonus of close to 9000%, fire bonus of 7000%, but I have only got 25 magic runes.

Jogo divertido, mas chega um momento que demora muito, semanas pra conseguir chegar a algum ponto e isso é complicado.

I already have the medium badge, and I tried to re-launch the game. It is starting from scratch ? How can I resume from where I left ?

save function doesnt work properly. i almost finished 2nd run but i have to start over AGAIN. too grindy for its shortcomings

To be precise, the achievements are not "buy X runes", but rather "own X runes" - I've bought a few thousand water runes in different runs.

@Simsler: I left auto-prestige at 350 on until the difference in how I much generate (let's say 1.0e28) vs the cost to get to the next goal (let's say 1.0e32) is less than 6 (in this case 32 - 28 is 4, so would let it try to hit the goal).

@il3ss46: Thx for your reply! I did the first 3 runs in 2 days. The run for 400 ash runes is now going on for 3 days. 350 ash runes is fun, but for the last 50 ash runes it takes incredible long. Was it the same when you played?

@Moczan: Why don't you respond to the suggestions of the users? The first 3 runs I didn't unterstand the complaints. It was nice, dynamic and easy to handle. But now at run 003 it is upgrading sooo slow and gets boring to watch. I don't understand why you turn a nice idle-game into a piece of crap just by not updating it. It just needs minor adjustments.

When did you get the badge for 500 water runes? Is it possible to get it in the 002-run? Because I would reach the final target, befor I come to 500 water runes and then I have to finish the run. Is it easier to get 500 water runes in a higher run?

You can turn the random reward off, then you only get bonus to already unlocked cost and income, but much less than the single random reward bonus. No followers added randomly then.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why does the reward for getting to 50 runes get cut in half? You just trying to get people to buy the shop items, or something?

Initial costs are the same, the effect is on the prestige. You should get better cost reduction whenever you click prestige and choose a 'rune total cost down -X %' More reduction for same prestige points spent.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So basically cost prestige reduces the cost of the runes, if I'm correct. But I write down cost of runes on new runs before and after additional cost prestige bonus and didn't notice differences for prize
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
After you complete a run you can choose a permanent bonus for future runs: Cost prestige helps by giving more reduction to rune total cost when you prestige. Income prestige gives more to rune total income when you prestige.

@WADraver: Became boring too fast, like your animated avatar. There's a way to make this game better and I could share it, but I became bored with you.

I completed the hard badge on run 004 with ~3500% cost/income prestige and ~4000% mana from water/earth runes; then idled with occasional logins for several weeks to reach 400 water. Best advice is to click on the button several times really fast when choosing your end-run bonus, which lets you get it 2-3 times.

This is a decent enough game, but the 'idle' part is a bit of a scam, if you click off the window the number stops going up. I went to the toilet and came back to not having made any progress at all!

Just got the hard badge. Bonuses that contributed mostly were 20,000% Earth Rune Income (Total) and 10,000% Cost Prestiage (Total) on Run 5 (Took 2 hours when starting the run). I ended up completing Run 3 ten times a day to get the bonuses since Run 4 took longer and the bonus difference wasn't high. Not an idle way to get the hard badge, had to grind for it (Played movies in the background). I'd say 2 weeks if you play it everyday.

I have completed the hard badge with run 005 and I had 1350 Income prestige and 1150 Cost prestige. My earth and fire run had also some boost in mana and that helped a ton (2700 fire and 1125 earth). I also had 15 water runes at the start of every run and that helps after every reset to get the auto-buy fastly and automate your runs. However I think I overprepared and spent too much time on run 004 thinking that if I couldn't complete that in 1 day I would never be able to do run 005. Run 005 is actually almost easier than run 004.

Simply manually save (settings, save game) and then close the browser window. You go offline and when you return you get the offline progress. Or stop playing "awful idle games" and complaining about them...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Had the "game" up, went to sleep and so did my laptop - No progress. This is an awful Idle game.
All Idle games are awful; Why do Kongregate keep giving them badges? But this is especially awful because I can't even idle it by putting my frigging laptop in sleep mode with the game up!

@Korobooshi: Did you save and exit the game or did you leave the page open when you went sleep mode? I guess if you never went offline then the game doesn't give you offline progress.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Does the game not progress while the computer is in sleep mode? What should have taken half an hour wasn't finished overnight.

Also you can try to find a save code and import it via Settings (if you don't care about playing this game nor the Sense of Achievement™). Sometimes it seems to be the only option to get the BOTD in time.
