Hey guys, so today i was looking at the overall [leaderboards](https://www.kongregate.com/accounts/leaders) for kongregate, and ive noticed some of the players joined around the early times around 2008,2009 so on.
I find it very impressive for players to reach the max limit of levels and i know it takes *A LOT* of time to even reach level 50
Well my question is, is it possible to reach level 75 by the end of 2021?
I want to know how long it will take if i earn badges starting next week for every single day, how long it will take for me to reach my limit.
I've been very progressive on my leveling up from when i starting this account till now, well now i want to push myself. Its not the fact that I want to reach level 75 as fast as possible its the fact that i want to search for new and cool games to play on kong since i havent been on here for a very long time.
Let me hear your input guys.

You may want to push the timetable up by late-2020. [While Flash may still be usable, that's entirely up to how fast browser updates roll out and get applied that discontinue it entirely, following the direction of Adobe's dropping support for it.](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520411/adobe-flash-end-of-support)
[From Kong help desk:](https://kong.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204830575-What-are-levels-badges-points-quests-items-challenges-and-awards-)
Rating a game = +1, maximum 50 per day
Easy Badge = +5
Badge of the day = Double the points
Medium Badge = +15
Hard Badge = +30
Refer a friend = 15 points upon sign-up
Referral moving up one level = Up to 13 points as they level up, up to level 10
Impossible Badge = +60
Goal = 57535 (for lv75)
You'll end up needing about 160 points per day to get to lv75 in a year...110 from badges, the rest from rating games.
That'll be rough.
But if there are browsers/extensions that allow Flash through to end of 2021, it's a lot manageable 30pts from badges and 50pts from rating each day.

A lot of impossible badges are notorious for being time sinks. Avoid those. Pandemic 2 has a guide for earning the impossible badge, so it's probably your best best for an easy 60 points. As for Hard badges, avoid badges labelled as "endurance badges". They're also time sinks. However, it's totally fine to hit up a game with multiple badges (stuff like E/M/H or E/M/M/H), get the Easy/Medium and then come back at a later date to go for the Hard. Even more so if you export backup saves wherever you can, so you minimise how many local save files you lose with a cache clear.

It's not on the list, but there are some games with user created contents such as that Deadly Neighbors game by Nerdook, and you can rate those for an additional ten points per day which can add up and make it easier to hit the 160 points daily quota by about ten points per day.

You can also get some more points via doing some of those quests and looking at your profile, you haven't done most of them so from the remaining quests you haven't finished, there are still nine hundred and ten points from quests alone which are received passively as you gain badges.
Best of 20XX Quests which are worth 50 points each. You've done none of them so twelve are remaining.
12 Quests X 50 Points = 600 Points
Pixel Pack Quest is worth 50 Points and you haven't done it.
600 + 50 = 650
Elemental Pack Quest is worth 30 Points and you haven't done it.
650 + 30 = 680
Yo Dawg Quest is worth another 30 points and you haven't done it.
680 + 30 = 710
Scared Stiff Quest is worth another 30 Points and you haven't done it.
710 + 30 = 740
Epic Quest is worth 60 points and you haven't done it yet.
740 + 60 = 800
Krème de la Kong Quest is worth 50 points and you haven't finished it.
800 + 50 = 850
And Tenth Anniversary Quest is worth 60 points and you haven't done it.
850 + 60 =910
____
As for doing the badges themselves, I would recommend that when you finish a game with multiple parts, you don't immediately jump to the next one and give yourself some time to refresh yourself and get rid of muscle memories and any habits you may have developed before moving unto the sequel or else you may be more prone to messing up and/or feel burnout quicker. It's best to alternate between series (i.e. it may be helpful to play something like gemcraft 1 -> paparia 1 -> gemcraft 2 -> paparia 2 instead of going gemcraft 1 -> gemcraft 2 -> gemcraft 3 -> gemcraft 4)
Also, I would probably recommend doing multiplayer games as soon as possible since multiplayer games have flaws for two reasons. Multiplayers (mostly MMOs) are frequently updated, but at the same time, because they get updated the most, sometimes the games change enough that the coding for something becomes unresponsive or a feature that's part of a badge simply gets removed. The other thing is that badged MMOs can get their plugs pulled if they don't do well and for some games, after they've announced they're pulling the plug they won't let new users join (I do know 5thPlanetGames Legacy of Heroes and Legacy of a Thousand Suns both prevented new players from joining after they announced heir shutdown).

I've only seen this tag on like 5 games. And they definitely didn't tell you that the Protector or Arkandian series are endurance badges.
All hard badges that aren't skill based are time sinks. Even the ones that are skill based might end up becoming time sinks. There are only a few cases where they won't take you more than an hour. (For example Bob the Robber 2) But otherwise hard badges would definitely take you some time. One should either just avoid all of them or do all of them if possible (It's fine to skip as long as you've tried it.). But they are inevitable since they make up 30~40% of the overall badge points.

Ok judging from your estimated values how much points should i be required to produce within a days span and will a ban of flash delay me so much so it would render this challange impossible?

I will get right on it!

Add necronomicon for impossible badges to do, heh it's all about luck.
Funny enough I found that like 50 times easier than the hard. There's about a *month's* separation in earning them, lol.
Most of the challenges can be won with a few lucky pulls right out the gate.
It's a weird and quirky card battle game, might take some getting used to. You can get impossible in the first day though.
Best hint is to store up and keep your guns because they deal small but unblockable damage, if you're in danger of losing spam the opponent to death.
Magic can be absorbed, deflected, or even redirected, so it's sometimes better to just heal & shoot.
And if you pull a shoggoth reserve that for eating a shambler or better.
The 1 HP challenges are all about landing invulnerability and getting up to 6 HP (safe zone for guns), maintaining a shield at all times.
The 7 HP gun card raid is only on one of those. Expect to die a LOT to first turn shotguns though lol
Amorphous+ is actually very easy, you just have to plan out and focus solely on the hardest awards to earn, everything else should come with it.
Dunno if it still exists after all these recent shenaningans but there was a yt vid on getting it out there. Can be around an hour (with about a half hour of planning too), can be a full day.
Basically [earn a couple rewards](https://kongregate.fandom.com/wiki/Amorphous%2B) first, then choose to fight the medium nest.
Should get about 50 of them in one run opening your second reward slot, then you tackle the largest and then start aiming for specifics like kill # enemy with x ability.
