Since this is BotD, for new players, a few tips on spending Gems, since they are limited. Unlocking the Magic Orb is great (and maybe/maybe not 1-2 upgrades), buying VIP cards is a waste (and my biggest purchase regret). Buying anything in the shop during the main game isn't worth it for a long time (except the Autoclick, which I recommend early, but probably only x1). Artifacts are where most of your Gems will go. Unlock decks and heroes as quickly as they are available. New decks will be too expensive, at first, but the Merchant's Guild allows for freely opening from any unlocked deck, and allows you to quickly afford the new deck. Focus on DPS and Magical boosts, and when making a Gold card, often an income boost can be a good first one, as it allows you to afford another one sooner. (Poison isn't very useful 90%+ of the time until at least the 5th Guild unlocks.)

Bonuses that escalate noticeably slower than enemy HP across almost all upgrade paths makes this a clear "buy store perks" cash grab. It's not really a game. It's a dressed up Skinner box. If you go that route, be careful though because even if you cough up real-world money, lots of the upgrades in the store are functionally meaningless to game progression so you can spend real money and still not get anywhere. It's not worse than lots of other idle-like games, but it's not better either.

You have to save the game manually or it is going to hard reset the whole progress you got. Very silly as you can pay to get in-game items. Imagine doing that and losing the progress cuz you didn't save, and what IDLE game doesn't have a server to save progress?? How is it Idle then? You are supposed to log off but the farm should keep on going. This game is a big joke and the negative comments are on point.

After a few reset, I'm sad we can't use Lifetime counter to boost Basic Skill; I lost them several time (after completing all level 2 Lifetime with Hunter Hero, for example).

If I understand correctly, once you get to 100k leaves, the game will simply round down to the nearest one when you leave the game. So if you have 101.99k leaves, if you leave the game and come back, it'll be 101k, but if you have 102.1k leaves, it'll be 102k leaves when you come back.

So 1 unit from the second area gave over 3x as many Skulls as all 6 units from the first area, despite having significantly lower DPS from the Orbs not being active (74.90SxDc*1.29SPDc is the boost they give), and stopping at a point well below where your farming method would stop (as it stops as maybe 1000th of DPS). In other words, your farming method isn't even close to providing all of the farming for Skulls that could be gained from less than 1 minute of normal farming. As for the Alchemist, it is obvious the Alchemist deals with Potions, based on the name (though I was hoping for reduced brewing time, instead of more potions, but at a crazy high cost: 10 ingredients for 2, 50 for 3, 100 for 4, keep adding 50 per one, and needing a lot of Ether cards to upgrade each level for the potions).

I hope you are just mistakenly wrong, and not intentionally deceptive, but you are wrong about the farming. I'm pretty sure it doesn't pick up the Druid's passive ability (and Skulls don't have cards in the first few decks that enhance their growth). For example, I just did a new run, and with both Orbs running, and using your farming method (and the Scythe for 1k kills, which also doesn't seem to calculate the Druid's passive), I ended up with 17.99K Skulls from the first area. Going to the Piranha of the 2nd location, without the Orbs active (and without using the Scythe, and stopping 1 millionth below my per second DPS), I'm at over 70k Skulls, now.

the farming method DOES work its calculated on your drop% and your dmg so u would need the same parameters i.e orbs active, levels on druid etc.
if u have not unlocked alchemist u wouldnt know what it does would you?

crexi, I tested the "farming" method with Skulls, and it would give me 1K, while skipping the easy opponents. I could easily get 10K+ from any one Skull farming unit within a few seconds without using that method, so you are WRONG about that (and that can be very harmful if trying to farm skulls with the Druid/Druid's Passive to reach the Impossible Badge). Yes, investing in Magic is better, but there is only a small window where Poison does anything, so if they mistakenly Gold Poison cards based on your advice, it could set them back SIGNFICANTLY. Impossible Badge mainly just takes time. If people play the game, they'd see they jump in spurts and long lulls, and could figure out one of those spurts could get them there. I've not seen many people posting about the "time wall" for Potions, but it is still obvious that Alchemist would help with Potions, regardless, and thus not all that helpful.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
strongcleric u are missunderstanding both the advice and the intention here.
i did mention that investing in magic was better then either physical or poison.
I was trying to inform people looking to get the impossible badge an idea of when they reach that point (not obvious at all since it takes alot of time and progress will show u that u are moving very slow until u reach druid.
same for alchemist people who has not reached it have posted here that it seems like a large time-wall to farm etheral potions 1 by 1.
Lastly the farming method gives u FULL resources for all the kills let me make that clear u recieve ALL the rewards for the enemies that u "skip".

Most of those pieces of advice aren't great, or are obvious (like unlocking the Alchemist as soon as you get enough Ether cards). Poison (at least until the 5th Guild--Guild of the Dead, which needs reaching area 13), is not worth investing in, compared to Physical DPS. Also, the farming method suggested results in an incredible loss of resources (especially for things like Skulls, which are important after the Druid is unlocked). I am speaking as somebody that has unlocked the 4th deck, and the Guild of Heroes, and has reached location 9 (and am not far from 10).

To farm resources instantly especially at higher dps go to the monster u want to farm and then switch tab in the browser for 2-3 seconds and u will have killed all the low hp monsters reaching your dps and get all the resources instantly instead of wasting 10 minutes to farm each. for me i can get about 1million leaves by doing this from the first boar in 3 seconds

by the time u reach 6 etheral cards u unlock the alchemy hero which lets u create more then one potion at a time so u dont need to wait days to unlock further ether cards

Physical dps is stronger untill you reach deck 3 which is poison based and with the following unlocks magic and poison will be 100% of your dps. I recomend buying magic multiplier from shop or gold with crystals saved up as physical and poison dps seems to come and go throughout the game magic and gold are always constant benificial

The impossible badge is pretty easy to get.
if u log in once per day for the daily reset and repeat for some weeks. i did it with rougly 1dc merchant guild bonus for monster. The INCREDIBLE dps increase will come with the druid hero, litteraly 10 minutes after unlocking him your dps will increase with 1 QiDc multiplier which puts you way beyond the badge

I reached 7 1st deck gold cards and 2 2nd. After this you can't progress without being blocked by 24h wall of guild loyality. Getting blue card took a lot of save scumming. Btw, reason for 24h block was probably 30 minute bonus. This game sucks, but at this point I don't want to play any idlers anymore as I played most of them for the last 5 years.

Unlike with Silver (which doesn't change how many spheres are needed), if you make the Bigfoot's Den Gold, and make the 4 Bigfoot Cards from the Blue Deck turn Gold, it will increase the cost of Gold cards in the Blue deck, immediately, so don't do that, until you only have those 4 left to make Gold. But, after you make the Bigfoot's Den Gold (and thus make those 4 Bigfoot Cards Gold), and before you make one of the Blue Deck cards an Ether card, you should use the "Roll Back" feature on the Gold Bigfoot's Den (possibly a big reason that feature is included). That will then let you make another, more useful Green Deck card Gold (for the same price you made the Bigfoot's Den Gold, but it probably won't show the change in price until you do something like making the Ether Card in the Blue Deck), and avoid the 4 Bigfoot Cards from immediately becoming Gold again, and jumping the cost of making the other Blue Deck Cards Gold after making the Ether Card.

Finally got the Impossible badge. Legit, no cheating. From the day I got the Easy badges, it took 163 more days (5 months, 11 days). This is NOT an idle game, and mostly takes a lot of babysitting or active playing throughout the day. It was a tough slog, and I was at around 77 or so, when I finally unlocked the Mage guild, something I should have tried harder to get earlier. I soon got my first Ether, then my second, and I zoomed up to 100 (Impossible badge) in less than a week. Things seem to be accelerating. Kind of crazy that I'm not quite to Location 4, and the tab mentions getting to Location 25 "for the next island". Part of me now wants another badge or two so that I explore more and see if things really do accelerate for a while, but I guess I've wasted enough of my life on this game, so will try to tear myself away.

You don't need to be at 50cVi Gold, Arus. The Merchant Guild gives you items that allow you to open any deck 30 times. (If you are at King Rank, you get 6 of them, but you get 1 even at Pawn rank). Using those, and opening the 3rd deck gives you cards (two Prepared 2.0, found in the same spot the 2nd and 3rd Ice Swords are in the previous deck) that give tons of Gold (either enough to open the full deck, or enough to quickly skyrocket your Merchant Guild so that you can leave it a few seconds after opening the cards, then rejoin, and make tons more until you can open the full deck). Opening it before you have 50cVi Gold, and using the ability to open the deck 30 times, will get you to 50cVi Gold much faster than saving up before opening the deck. If you don't get either Prepared 2.0 with free opens, and can't afford it, just leave and rejoin the Merchant's Guild.

Super worth it, Arus. If you open it, the amount of increase in money and damage quickly makes it possible to buy back those 10 Gold Cards. When you get to the point of doing the Guild Loyalty once per day, using the Merchant ability to open any deck (and use it on the 3rd deck) quickly allows you to gain a ton of wealth and reset within a few seconds several times to crank your Gold multiplier sky high quickly (which allows you to buy more cards and make them Gold for each of the three decks even faster).

@ChaoticAgenda The way i do it is: For first deck i do the hunters first to have more leafs (to upgrade sphere as much as i can than put the rest in boosts), then chieftain, desert warrior, frog brothers and then depends on the boosts, you can get a cockatoo for guarantee gold frog bonus, spider or sand knight as it has more dps than lamp and a bit under lizzard but is more reliable.
For second: 3x ice swords, 3x bandit fish, cingulata, captain, bigfoot, then shark with hands/telepath depending what you need.
Poison is bait early on and gold generating cards aren't really needed because you'll have enough gold from monsters. If you don't, just do more merchant guild runs

Anybody have a recommended upgrade order for the first two decks? I usually go for a direct money generator first like Lizard Den. I thought that Poison was going to be useful, but it turns out to be nowhere close to direct damage.

It might be stockholm syndrome but by the time you get the impossible badge, this game really does grow on you. Happy to be done, but the game does actually have its charm.
Impossible badge is just shy of entering zone 4 if anyone is wondering.

I got the impossible badge. Here are my thoughts. This game has potential. There are a variety of strategies, unlocks, and goals you could go for. The enemy hp rising after each kill makes you think about each kill as another resource which is interesting. However all of that is offset by the numbers not being very unbalanced. It costs orders of magnitude more to gold a card than it does to silver the last card, completely blocking your progress. Some cards in the deck are garbage, giving you 1/1000 the benefit of other cards. It is heavily monetized, but even those aren't balanced. If you accidentally buy the wrong thing with gems you are screwed. The achievements cap early into the game so you lose that source of gem income. I am disappointed because just as I started to unlock enough cards, decks, guilds, and heroes to make the game interesting I got the badge. It took 60 hours to get the impossible badge playing approx 1 hour a day.

I finally completed the impossible badge... to be honest, even though I see the insane time it is needed to progress further for much more (just got my second ether card), I am gonna miss this game now. I liked it despite all the negative reasons others have mentioned.

Idle parts of this are, waiting 24h for guild loyalty cooldown, and hero exp, and waiting for quest. It is fun if when you play litlle bit every day, to get daily card, diamonds quest goals and use 30 mim bonus after guild loyalty. As guild loyalty is min 10x upgrade for guild bonus, with 24h cooldown, there is no point idle for bigger normal guild bonus, also 30 mim gold membership speed up bonus rebuilding after loyalty. ps. Gold membership is only good for rebuilding bonuses after loyalty reset them 0. As progress will stop with normal reset very fast, it will give nothing compare to artifact upgrade, purple manna ball bonus, and shop pernament upgrade.

one of the best parts of this is that the barrier to getting your first gold card is so ridiculous that you'll likely free yourself from the self imposed curse of "playing" this before you start genuinely losing time to it. as people have acknowledged, this isn't an idler, and it's not well built (duh)
