"The best Defense is a very powerful attack..." [](http://it.tinypic.com?ref=b85pcj) Challenge #2 done too. Also I'm surprised it took so few time. Fewer time than Challenge #1 too.

 Ok, I'm still not quite sure how to get this to insert the pic and not the link. 500th ascend

Finally got around to making a strategy for this:  I think I've optimized the score for this strategy. I've only replicated the time taken once out of a few dozen attempts, and it was a 474. 499/500 may be possible with this, though. ToD is pretty good as well:  Finally got around to buying these:  And these... not super significant, but it's a start:  


I got a high score of 10497 in House :D also this  video: [https://my.mixtape.moe/xysivw.mp4](https://my.mixtape.moe/xysivw.mp4)

Made some time to dump resources before the new month:  Also achieved one of my more pointless goals and capped my career pots... 

 Stupid low EF cap is what makes this so annoying, frankly. Took at least half an hour. (Wasn't timing it, and only started after 1828 hit. Also probably wasted a good 20%+ of the EF used just because of low EF cap. It felt like it was easy to blow before runes!) Only put the others up to 20 to start with but I'll probably cap one or two more (depending on resources) before leaving it for a while.

 Dumping prog boxes to cap a second rune, high scores tells me I'm level 13,300,001, but blazed past so couldn't get level 13,333,337 there. Then COMPLETELY forget to watch for +1337 level 1337......something like 5.6k before I realize. :(  Maxed second rune. Ran out of unob, weirdly, especially since I had something like 5.8m to start with. Two runes to 100 and other four to 40 drained all of that? Also from the dumping of stuff I had 1.2qa exp yesterday, I'll get picture later.

Completely wrong, as always. That's what some runes would cost if they had 102 levels. Some are even more expensive than that. Are you even trying? Single rune of any type costs costs 338 348 901 EF to go from level 1 to 100. Runes of health/mana/rage also cost 4 598 870 SCM and 919 774 unob, each; Runes of encounter/experience/greed cost 9 197 740 SCM and 4 598 870 unob, each. All six runes combined cost approximately 2,030B EF, 41,39M SCM and 16,56M unob It doesn't surprise me that you don't know that some runes are more expensive than the others. It isn't visible in .sol editor, and it isn't visible in game after you cheated your way to level 100, so how could you possibly know that...

Finally, here it is:  [pastebin of build](https://pastebin.com/5zinBzsR) [video of fight](https://youtu.be/X6GPKJORqUk) Still waiting on a CGT chip, but that might take months.

Okay, dump time for the rest of this nonsense. Over the past week or so I've been mostly mining after I ran out of resources I was okay to dump (wanted to keep my supply crate stash, though did dump around 800-1k at first) and during the course of leveling runes got....around 140-150 ascensions. (Not sure what I started at, but it was pre-1300, and I'm +1435 now. And, me being me, that was all to 9k1. ;) ) So yeah, this happened:  The first couple of days (or first night and second day) were a lot of dumping, which got me crazy amounts of exp. (1.2qa and 1.48qa, respectively.)   After Mana and Greed, went after Health...though Reverse beat me to maxing that one.  At this point I had three runes to 100 and three runes to 40. "Halfway", level-wise.... (because the first few levels really aren't that expensive at *all*...)  Next up: Encounter!  Then Experience....  Then finally was working on Rage. And some putz decided to wait until TODAY (after I had like, high 80s in this rune) to start doing a dump to finish runes first. So I dumped *another* 1200 supply crates (putting me under 850) to hit this one, though apparently he had already finished this particular rune:  But hey, that means I got this!  And props to the two runners up since nobody else even has over 300. (Actually looks like #4 as of this writing is only *230*. Guess we really are the only three really trying...)  And oh yeah, still mining for money, since this left me pretty broke. ^.^ (Definitely had over half a cap of prog boxes last week, and 1.7m lol10s, cap SCM, and 5.8m unob...on the bright side, I only started after 1828's buff to EF mods, so it could've been longer....)

Some things just weren't meant to be.... 

That's how I felt when I tried doing Level 1111 +1111, oogy... mild disappointment. Anyway: 3rd to legitimately max runes. I would have done it sooner, but I had done little to nothing in terms of resource stockpiling between my 9k2 run and the update besides offline progress. 

pssht, you guys with your runes. Get on my level, just caught an umbreon. 

Haha, nice marty. I'm a bit jealous of all the maxed rune people. Finally got around to hunting for the mods needed to cap them so we'll see when I get around to actually doing that. In the meantime, the latest payoff of my mod hunt (wasn't even remotely looking for this, but it was there so...) 

 Oddly enough, the pieces I got from 200-220 where one of each, a 3.84% probability. I only needed shoes for RB gear, but this is okay too. I may try again for an actual attempt at HC F250 though, who knows.

Fishing Skill 55 and Kongregate Level 68

Finally got a rebirth finished in under five minutes... 4:30 is possible with this route in conjunction with v1827 changes. [Video](https://youtu.be/wQeeiNO9BqU) I have 1 or 2 more strategies left before I'm done working on these. 4:15 overall goal time?

I thought it was sort of comical that I have 10 times as many ascends as my highest floor in ED (one day I'll get around to doing more ED...)  Also got this yesterday (well, to be honest, borg did all the work...) 

 I made a face...

Congratulations, here's a clown:  https://pastebin.com/xgiBJ3GN

Got a new computer, so I had to start the game from the beginning. Not too upset, though. It's nice to get a fresh start again. Besides, looks like I've improved from the first time I played this game. 

That's a pretty solid ascension time, nice work. Reached 2T LolMarket Profit... about 90% to my goal... Gonna hit 2,222,222,222,222 exactly, then never use it again.  Also reached 2B total rewards claimed:
