Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / [Guide] How to beat 10c CHAOS HCWM

Originally posted by wecl0me12:

subignition, can you please post your method of killing chaos? (what you did, not just your build)

I used pretty much the same thing he did, and as far as just killing CHAOS, it goes like this:

1) Build up max spirit while finishing off the last ~5-10% of Chaos.
2) Hit CHAOS with the Chaos ability ~10 times, and switch back to your regular weapon
3) Use QA to build Combo, and then Combo Attack to build and maintain fullish rage
4) Hit CHAOS in the face
5) When he starts to do too much damage, like 50% of your health in 1 hit, switch to your spirit weapon and repeat 2-4

I busted out the spirit weapon at ~65% and ~30% just to be safe. When you switch to spirit, turn off Spirit Power to build spirit faster, and remember to use the Potions. And when you switch back to mana, remember to turn Mana Power on, and immediately potion up because you’re at 0. Other than that, its just general CHAOS stuff – Dont attack during Green, watch your health during Black & Red, and you can use QA during Blue to build combo. And settle in for a long fight, like 12+ min in my experience, though I was probably doing something wrong.

Also, if you have an idea, don’t bump a 1.5 year old thread to share it. There’s a Suggestions thread stickied at the top, where this idea has been shot down several times.

Are there any issues doing this with different OS/browsers? Curious about bringing my file to work just to dink around with a few things, but these still have XP running on them (and IE, but I guess I can fix that)

Also, when you first start out with research, you will wind up getting the same stuff right away. Combining 2 of the base seeds (1, 26, 51) together has a 50% chance to result in the other one. But eventually you will start getting some other seeds.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

So I got a U20 set a bit ago, and I’m just about done filling it up with attack rocks. But I still haven’t changed the Orange bonus on it, because I dont want to lose the Non-Boss Damage. So, I’m going to farm another couple of sets (or until I want to punch CHAOS through my screen) and save one with Non-Boss for a SC set.

My question is, what should I be trying to get on a U20 CHAOS set for SC? Is the set I have with attack rocks the best, or should I be aiming for something else? Essentially, I’m wondering if I should make this set I have into SC gear, or should I use different rocks on the next set.

Also…what makes a good SC set? I’m thinking just maxing Mastery/Crit/Speed and going for Evasion, but I’m sure there’s a better method out there.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Suggestions!

Slightly more thought-out idea: Revenge Machine. When you meet the requirements to do MBR, a little box appears (or unlocks) in the Deserted Alley, and when you click it, you get a little window like for DP or Robacon. The window has a counter for daily times left, and an enter button. When you enter, a 15 minute timer starts on that screen, and disables the use of the enter button until its done. But another button appears that allows you to spend pixels or something to reduce the timer. Maybe make the cost inverse to the time remaining, so the first minute off is cheap, the last minute off costs an arm and a leg. So if you want to run it faster, and can afford it, the option is there. But still expensive enough that you can’t just run all 10 runs back to back to back every day. Repeat for Corruption.

This allows all people to do the runs with a bit more forgiving schedule, but not cram more runs into a smaller space, unless they can afford it. And for those who can, like paladari I’m sure, they can get their runs done a little faster. Maybe not a straight 60 minutes for 10 MBR runs, but better than 2 1/2 hrs.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Suggestions!

If you use a Tech Light to time MBR and Corruption on a 5 minute timer, that thing will be on more than its off. It doesn’t matter anyway, I play for more than enough time during the day, and have a tech light set, and I still don’t get all 10/10 of each every day. Its just annoying to see that its xx:16:05 and now you’re screwed out of Corruption for another half hour, or when its xx:05:55 and you’re in the wrong setup for MBR. And its just as annoying to me when its say xx:03:40, and you’re in the pub ready to go, and now you have to kill a minute and a half, and make sure that it doesn’t turn in to two and a half. Not really much useful you can do in this game for that length of time.

While this doesn’t really fix paladari’s initial problem, what about making them always available, but adding a ToD-style lockout of some sort? You can enter them whenever, but say Corruption locks you out of it for half an hour when you go in. It still takes the same amount of time, but you can just do it on your schedule instead of the game’s.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Game Bugs

I believe that Exhaustion just triggers if you’re in the BA with a button held down, even if the button doesn’t actually do anything. So you probably just got the stuck key bug with flash. Just try pushing every BA-related key, and if that doesn’t fix it, restart browser and/or computer.

Not that it has anything to do with anything, but thank you for reminding me why I had stopped playing the game back then. I spent a few days grinding enough time pieces to use the time machine, only to wind up dying right away and wasting it all. I just remember being all discouraged about something, heading to the forums to read up on it, and finding out about some sort of Explosion. I figured if the whole game was going to change in a month, might as well just quit until then so I only have to learn it once. Didn’t think it would be like 20+ months…

As for an actual suggestion: make the LolMarket Demand Control buttons thicker, or spread them out at least. There’s space there, the bottom 1/3 of the screen is just blank (unless there’s something there I dont have yet). I know they aren’t tiny, but still small and close enough that I manage to mis-click them sometimes and mess up my demands.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Well as a few minor things, Ignore Defense is worthless in DP so switch that if you can, Nerf Medal would be a little better than Arena Champ, and you can try to pick up Combo Attack and use it once right at the end. You also mention Drain skill, but that doesn’t do anything AFIAK, unless you mean Mana Eater.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that any of that will get you over that hump. You can try to get more MP somewhere for Mana Power, depending how much you need/want to potion. Another idea I saw somewhere involved getting max rage from TH or something to use rage skills, and going to a Prehistoric area to drop your health to 9001, and using the Revenge skill.

(Keep in mind I haven’t tried any of this, my high score is 1/4 of yours. I’m just kinda brainstorming ideas Ive read/though of. Ideas that aren’t get HBB/u20 CHAOS and/or Rage/Empower gems and level/enhance them.)

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

I dont have proof, but anecdotally speaking, the Bonus Preference does affect the machine. If you switch both fields to the same bonus, it should only take a few clicks to get what you want from the machine. So next time you want something specific, make sure to change the Bonus Pref first.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / [Spreadsheet] How much EXP do I need?

Well Excel will do that too, you just need to change the cell formatting and make the columns wide enough. It just defaults to the scientific notation for big numbers.

Thanks for posting this, always nice to have a reference.

Oh come on. Who doesnt want to run DP for 6 hours straight?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Frequently Asked Questions & Ask stupid questions here!

What happens to your AG seeds when you start an Imp. Ascension? I’m guessing that the seeds poof, but their XP stays? And what about breeding – if you start a breed before you ascend, does it get wiped, or is it waiting when you unlock the AG again?

Ive wasted too much time on my seed collection, and its making me nervous about starting an impossible =/

This is a question that has been really bothering me for a while. What is the yellow triangle and +100 above my EXP bar? I’ve looked everywhere on the forums, in the guide section, and even asked in chat and I didn’t get an answer.

I find it very hard to believe that you have it up to +100 if you don’t know what it is. Did you try clicking the triangle?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Relative Importance of BA Stats.

Nope, unless it got changed in the past ~2 months. That’s how I discovered it, and didn’t know about the other way for a while after.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Relative Importance of BA Stats.

Or if you go to the 3rd event quest, The Showdown, you can use the Quick Move option. Gotta do Triangle Count and Shoot the Suspect first though to use that option.

Just noticed that Earrings don’t seem to be included in these. Is that supposed to be happening?

Are you counting both the one hour and four hour cards as previous? It was a 1/6 chance then, rather than 1/11 for one card.

Average bonus xp duration per legendary box:
Old = 1/12 * 1hr + 1/12 * 4hr = 0.4166 hr/box
New = 1/11 * 4hr = 0.3636 hr/box

BC Cost per hour
Old = 5000bc / 0.4166hr = 12000 bc/hr (11400 @ bulk price)
New = 6000bc / 0.3636hr = 16500 bc/hr (15800 @ bulk price)

So yea, just buying boxes for bc gives you less duration than it used to on average. Obviously this doesnt account for card trading, but thats harder to model, and you only get like ~10% of a box back on average…and its still random. Its a nerf, but I dont think the sky is falling.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Frequently Asked Questions & Ask stupid questions here!

Its just wrong right now, and throwing some extra numbers in the calc. I ascended yesterday right before the update, and was running some tests on xp right before midnight, so I know that I had ~333.5b xp right before the day reset. I’m currently at 998.9b xp total, and it says that today with my multiplier, I’ve gained 998.6b xp, even though in reality its more like 665.4b. My unmodified reads 287.6b, and I should just have the 1.5 xp card, and the 5 ascension bonus xp, so 287.6 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 647.1b, which is much closer to what I’ve actually gotten today.

So somewhere the math is screwy for the green dot on the stats screen. For me its like 50% higher than what it should be showing.

Pet-trainer would get some until it runs out of fullness at least, no? Either way, those top 4 are the main idea. I have over 500 career pots I never use, might as well burn them doing something useful while I’m not there, and 2 days of blessed Fighter wouldn’t be too bad for Business.

edit – Just went and copied my save file to try it out, and there doesn’t seem to be a limit up to 45 hours of blessed career, and thats all I really needed anyway. Fyi for everyone else who wants to chug a few dozen mega career pots :p

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Frequently Asked Questions & Ask stupid questions here!

Is there a limit to how much you can bless a career? I’m going to be gone for a few days coming up, and Im just going to idle SCM or Unob, but I wanted to keep doing some career/business in the meantime. My plan is to activate fresh careers, and then chug like 40-50 mega career pots, giving me essentially 2 days of blessed careers, and then the 23 hours of regular activation. Am I going to hit a limit somewhere?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

I’m just about done having a bronze pick welded to my hand to farm SCM, and my next goal is to get enough unob for a Rage Gem. What’s the best way to go about idling that? Can’t find it atm, but I had read that LL was good, I’m just confused how you actually pick up all the unob. Supposed to use Dark Ruler or something? Also, what kind of rate can I hope for? I’ve been getting like 15-20k SCM a day with bronze mining, how many moons is it going to take to get 46k more unob?
