Getting >100 SAsc means you've wasted 1000's of hours of life playing Idle 😭

maybe near 10 000 hours?
and thousands dollars?

Good morning, honorable sirs
After a long period of digs, i came back to reclaim the glory of the speedrun!

time from last SASC: 3 days
current power: 6 artifacts (that was my last 4 sascs +1 each)
+25% ap (this one is my first ap bonus!!!)

current artifacts:
I tw
I a$b
I a^b
L av
L sac
I MD

i wont be spitting many messages here, but, even in silence, the legend of the bahamut shall proceed!

let us leave this cursed app. Idle taught me how to optimize myself, analyze, and improve upon the strategy of living, over and over again. i will take the power this cursed app gave me, and super ascend out of its reach!!!!

Wise words Bahamut (freaking autocorrect wrote Bahamas, lol)

Wow 3 days on no AP bonus? What kind of power spend was necessary? I'm guessing a rush to run hex 4 or 6 times?

What should I have at least in order to clear HEX?
First of all, my artifacts
Leg ACB, A$B, MD, SAC, AV
It is.
Is there anything else you can refer to, such as the minimum level of Advanced or power consumption? Or some artifacts that need to be more...?

If you're willing to spend 3 IMs and spend the couple days to craft you really don't need anything else at all besides maxed AM advancement. You look like you have good enough artifacts for the 2 IM route.

I think you could actually do the 1 IM route. If I remember I first did it with leg A$B and AV. You'll need leg TS if you don't want to wait for crafting, and preferably MD and M$ advancements max. Note I use SAC because my artifacts aren't good enough to start like he does.

@ShadowHawk
Very thank you!!

15th SA. +art for 175% AP and 8 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19 / 18 / 14 / 14 / 17


Not bad timing for burning all those artifacts. It sure felt slow playing through though. Hex 4x helped, but I do that frequently now. Need that IM artifact. Also feeling the loss of TW, made the wzib win significantly harder

Ins A$B leg AV SAC and epic HB IM

I have super-ascended five more times (now 135).

Total boons:
* +2800 AP at startup (+5)
* +1800% AP from levels
* +28 artifact carryover
* +7 artifact dig speed

Artifacts carried over:

Insane (5): A$B, A^B,  CB, MeD, RCB
Insane (5):  TW,  IM,  AV, SAC, MCB
Insane (4):  HB, TMB, BMB, DB^u
Legend (1): TW^s

 SC (2): legend, rare^d
 HD (2): rare^d, unco^d
 MB (2): epic^d, rare
 OV (2): unco^d, comm^d
 IV (2): lgnd^u, unco^u

Epic (2): {TS, SS}^f
Unco (3): IV, HD, ACD

^f:fodder, ^u:upgrade
^s:spare, ^d:downgrade

Highlights:
* chose Draft Boost as my fourteenth insane
* might add Army Camp Discount to the churn
* still taking starting AP boons

Super Ascended for the first time!

+25% AP

Bringing with me two items being upgraded:
Insane Army Cache Boost
Legendary Alloy Value

Congrats! I think that's probably the best possible combo of artifacts for first ascend.

I guess it is time for an update.

43 +25% AP
11 +100 AP
23 + Artifact slots
0 Dig Speed.
Total of 77 Supers

Insane TW,A$B,ACB,HB,SAC,AV,CB
Legendary RB MB BMB TMB ACD IT MD DB
Plus other trash.

Really thinking about going for 10 DIGs to quickly boost those Legendary. I think Krind said HEX would do a half legendary a day @ 10.

Recent reread the first 60 pages to see what really boosted Ivan's progress. It seems it was mostly he was insane from sleep depravation. :)

Currently +100% ap plus 4 artefact slots.
Leg ACB, A$B, MD, SAC, AV
I think I'll choose +25% ap for the next SA... When and with what should I open the next artefact slot?

Another one in the books brethren. 36th super ascend! 725% AP and 9 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB and LHB!

SA 25, +12x AP +13x slots
4i AV A$B TW SAC
2l $B TMB
6e HB SC 4x fodder
next legendary: A^B now rare
can skip to hex 3 more times before I need to play (H.) trisks for extra skips

16th SA. +ap for 200% AP and 8 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19 / 18 / 14 / 14 / 17 / 16


Surprised myself with the speed since SAC was upgrading and I ran out of powers. This next run should be a record again even without TW

Ins A$B leg AV SAC and epic HB IM EC TS

I have super-ascended five more times (now 140).

Total boons:
* +2900 AP at startup (+1)
* +1900% AP from levels (+4)
* +28 artifact carryover
* +7 artifact dig speed

Artifacts carried over:

Insane (5): A$B, A^B,  CB, MeD, RCB
Insane (5):  TW,  IM,  AV, SAC, MCB
Insane (4):  HB, TMB, BMB, DB
Legend (1): TW^s

 SC (2): legend, rare
 HD (2):   rare, rare^u
 MB (2): lgnd^u, rare
 OV (2): lgnd^u, rare^u
 IV (2): legend, rare^u
ACD (1): lgnd^u, none

Rare (3): {SC, HD}^s, EC^f
Unco (1): OV^s

^f:fodder, ^u:upgrade
^s:spare, ^d:downgrade

Highlights:
* switched back to +25% AP boons for now
* insane DB helps the early levels a bit
* upgraded ACD more than I intended to
* will need to pick another insane soon
* probably need to do more 100c digs

who's top these days, I'm still on one waiting to finally get an insane. and don't do much apart from once a day either as getting techs on hard levels sucks

17th SA. +art for 200% AP and 9 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19 / 18 / 14 / 14 / 17 / 16 / 11


Hex 4 times now puts me at more than enough ap to super, which probably means I need to stop doing it to make IM powers last longer. Starting to run low on SL powers as well, so that'll burn another IM in their place for PA. I need that IM to be insane, but I need A^B back too so I'm not as dependent on SAC arti

Ins A$B leg AV SAC IM and epic HB TW (upgrading)
