This makes me laugh. It's the last career to cap and Cybro has to be sick of it. I'm only at 181. I just ran tne biz for a few days...(http://)https://i.imgur.com/1qi29oj.png

Second ascension down on the new computer. I'm getting really good at this game, damn.

Just a random thing, though, but I find the Ascendant way too easy. I tried putting the game on HC to make him harder, but he still went down in a heartbeat. Maybe he should have more health for each ascension or something, I dunno.

I don't know why I got myself into this, but here's part 1 of pointless BA completionism...

Never doing PHM / DM again unless somehow I do > ~130 RBs in the next few months, but considering how close I am to sub-4 already, that's not gonna happen. MEGA DM for score is still on the table, though...

Because F200 ED no rebirths/ultra sheep just wasn't stupid enough.
Because 7-8c GIGA no rebirths just wasn't annoying enough.
Because F200 HCED no rebirths just wasn't torturous enough.
Two sets of u10 DS (9/10 f200, with one f205! (got that one before runes, too, I think)), leveled to 66/65, fused, then leveled again.....no rebirths.

(Rebirths are for suckers. ;P)
That is pre-finalize, and best defense I got of the five pieces. (14,987, 14,984, 14,975, 14,983, and 14,976. Post finalize for best piece is only 17,985, so didn't get to break 18k. :( Oh well...)
Still can't start rebirths yet, as with their starting rank raised to r50 I scrapped my lower sets and am working on new stuff. (And want to get TBG3 gear, which I still haven't even *started*. Heh.)
Tell you what though, getting to 20k+ streak in SC fully on HC was weirdly amusing. (Even got a 21k+ once. I mean it's nowhere near topping my 25k streak best (especially since elemental boost and not master pot), but still.) Also this was a pretty big boost to my BP, all the way up to 182.7k now. (Like, five of that is STZ, rest is extra exp bars. :) (Was around 150-160k when I finished farming for this u10 set.))
Edit: Oh yeah! Also all grade 12 on AAG. (But that's nowhere near as interesting.)
Edit2: I'll also go so far as to say, if you've got the stuff I had (max runes, giga accessories, f200 u6, u11 dom gem, and f191/196 portals (thanks to hitting 226 casual)) then I'd even go so far as to say that *reaching* f200 HCED *might* be possible with both no rebirths *and* no ultra sheep. But you'd have full armor oranges on H/D by then, and just hitting 226 on casual for a good portal you'd probably also be using your accessory oranges on H/D too. Might be possible, but I do not think it would be practical. (And *DEFINITELY* not for, you know, actually farming full f200 u10. That was annoying enough.)

So what are these "rebirths" again and why do people do them....?

(Anyone with f200 DS and 100 rebirths and *can't* do 15c GIGA has *no* excuse. ~187.5k BP and *0* rebirths....)
Seriously though, this took, like, a few hours or something of tweaking for this nonsense. I didn't even expect this to be *possible*...though it's certainly impractical. And I'm pretty sure it's still almost entirely dependant on RNG not being a bitch and just giving you rainbow aura 4-5 times in a row. (*Yes this happened*.) But after like run 4 or something got to 9%, kept going. Probably 15-20 runs (or so? at least a hundred billion CM) to finally do it.
Many rings were lost to bring you that image. (Like 3 or 4 ring losses. Grr.) But pretty sure runes are a *big* help (Black Aura also becomes pretty much ignorable (though might not be if you're like 4 minutes in or something), but it also feels like the odds of black *or* red auras are *way* below anything else, because *he loves spamming anything but those*. The run with like four reds in a row was nice. Don't even remember if that was this one. Such a blur.)
Fullbuild right after winning, lots of thanks to Reverse (again) for help/ideas on tweaking. Can probably be fine tuned slightly more, but a fair amount is probably just aura-RNG anyway.
https://pastebin.com/3eYKAf3T
(Alternate weapon with boss damage to help clear floor, maybe I'm just chicken but didn't really use it much past the 80-70% mark on CHAOS himself.)
Anyone else thinking of doing this should probably just stab themself in the foot, jump off a cliff, and seek psychiatric help. (Probably in that order.) It's stupid. (What? Me? I'm going to farm for a full set, obviously. The hell *other* kind of idiot is going to have u40 for first rebirth?? :P)
(Edit: Oh hey, just realized the kill itself gave a Life EX rock. Stupid chests only gave a regular life rock once that whole stupid time. Sweet.)

Thanks Marty. Someday I'll figure out how to get this to post an image and not a link. That'll be an accomplishment, too

It's finally over.



 (overshot a little bit...)


So getting from here to the next was a little awkward... Manipulating the demand / prices on lower gems is impossible with small quantities... so basically I had to overshoot, then insta-buy-sell gems until the remaining discrepency was a multiple of 23 (L1 gems were basically permanently at 450, sell at 427), found a linear combination of L3s that gave 690 profit away, then bought / sold 30 L1s to get this. Never touching lolmarket ever again, disabling l10 crate rewards, selling lol10 module, etc.

EDIT: The most annoying thing was getting ~5k away, then realizing I had an active Gem Trader business at 152... had to spam click buy-sell on lol10s for a few minutes to get the profit back down... cost me ~1B GC.

Not to keep spamming the forum, but I think this deserves it's own post.
Figured out a few flaws in my RB strategy, got a 3:41 first try. 3:40 if you count the kill, instead of the frame where I reach R500, considering CHAOS's EXP gains take about a second to process.
This has potential for ~3:20 if you get better RNG and are actually decent at menuing.

EDIT: On further analysis, I don't think I'm going to get that lucky again. I'm leaving this as my best. I believe this can be easily beaten by spamming U2 shinki chips once reaching R400, but I'm not going to bother trying that strategy.

Finished farming for my u40 set. Once you accept it's RNG to win, it's less frustrating. Still *extremely* aggravating, but slightly less so.
But dang, this week's been cool. Two days, one in three free runs were wins. One day *two* of the three free runs were wins. *Today*? Only one free run win, but bought a few more runs.....I think total of four quits (maybe five), one death, and three wins? I had three pieces needed to finish my u40 set, and *each* of today's wins gave exactly what I needed.
That last one went almost perfectly for me. Didn't even have to swap off of boss damage, scored 6,898, and all three wins today gave pieces I needed. (*And* it gave an EX life rock. *And* pretty much the two things that could've gone better were him not using those three blue auras and if I'd kept weapon inv space open. Been keeping best 3 score auras and that one wiped. :'( Oh well.....)

Halfway there! Not completely awful for not really using the battle arena for pretty much anything (though I kind of started since yesterday, because pesky quests need to be completed. Lousy rebirths...)
also i guess i'm kind of playing again. not sure if that's an accomplishment or an anti-accomplishment. Been a couple years.

https://i.imgur.com/MEJAm7L.png Yeah, still horrible. I forgot again...anyway, I menu'ed out of the only time I ever did active FCG and FCG was the last career to 200.Cybro has run all the times that career pots didn't lvl it.

A long time ago I decided to develop a non-ED focused RB strategy. It's decent enough to cram six of them in a single hour, plus an ED-focused one for seven an hour. Eight might be possible with this method with quicker transitions and less loss-of-focus. I can do a writeup of this method if anyone is interested, but delivery will be slow.
[Here's 7 of them in an hour. The new strategy starts at ~4:40 on the splits. Every subsequent rebirth is the same, so there's no real need to watch past ~15 miuntes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV2p2zw3JDk)
You can pick out specific moments where I was either drinking coffee, or had to check my split settings to unpause it (that's what I get for trying to buy insta-progress during this), so it should have been sub one-hour, but whatever. I wanted to wait until I redid it and got 7 fully in under an hour, or maybe even attempt 8.
But alas, the fire has long since passed; the time for my swan song has arrived.

Last quest it was possible for cybro to S-rank. I've still never "completed" a single gme of FCG. The one time I started one i despised it so much I refreshed before I even finished...! https://i.imgur.com/ZK7X48y.png
