@fancy was that after you had a decent CB though? I don't go to 150% AM anymore but my score screen clearly tells me I'd run out of mercs if I didn't TS. An hour or so worth of drafting to make it.

I did indeed have a Legendary CB for that as well, looking back I picked one up quite early and always kept a CB since then (although I did churn it at least once). I was only doing 135% AM at that time as well, but keep in mind the net benefit of that Epic TS on the 421B territory is significantly less than the face value. The real delta is 421B * (0.75 - (0.2 * 0.75)) or "only" ~252.6B. That's not counting hospitals because I forget how they factor in, but that's a relatively small matter.

I will say I did fail in my attempt to drop the TS from EH a number of times (and saddling myself with drafting out) before eventually landing a success.

You should really get yourself a CB already.

Another Sasc for ChillHouz. 44 times total now. Decided to take a detour from my quest for +1000% AP because there was a bundle for artifacts and I couldn’t resist so decided to go for a legendary resource cache boost. As it stands now I am at +900% AP and 10 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB LHB LR$B. 4 more Sascs and I will have +1000% AP then I will start going for +100 AP bonuses.

That's a good point about it being less good than it appears because of js and hospitals. My numbers still don't support it but by a much narrower margin. Thanks for the tip.

I'd keep a CB if I ever saw one - haven't dug one in at least half a dozen supers, maybe a full dozen at this point. Probably keep it at L because I think my next I is A^B but I could be persuaded

Updated.

Sorry for not updating the leaderboard for more than 5 months. Special thanks to ChillHouzVanHoutn for reminding me.

Hope that I didn't miss any messages.

Thanks Mathematician, but looks like you’re gonna have to update again because I just super ascended again :P

45 times total now. +925% AP and 10 artis IACB, ISAC, I$B, IA$B, ITW, IAV, IIM, IDB, LHB, LR$B. 3 more SAascs and I will have +1000% AP and will start going for +100 AP bonuses

I'll have to give an update as my number is way off.

I've SAed for the 48th time.

+675% AP, 18 slots (+1), 5 * 20% dig speedup.

Insane: ACB, A$B, $B, R$B, MD, TW, AV (upgrading)

Leg: AV (backup), QS, R$B (back) SAC, M$B, DB, IM - all upgrading

Epic: SC, SAC, HB, IM (all upgrading)

Did a lot of digs last go - including all digs in Hex Earth and 30 years war multiple times, hence the upgrades.

From now on, just increasing Ap % until I get to the 100 AP level.

For those interested in digging, 5x seems a good amount. After having that, the clan speed bonus, phase 4, HC bonus and 5x multi level, there's a lot of grunt work in always upgrading and redoing levels as the digs finish. I redid hardened Roman Empire so many times I was getting so little AP from it. Not that I needed AP. It is a grind, but it gave me 3 or 4 more insanes and changed the tactics for levels which was the point.

Nice work Mathematician.

It seems like you posted Rob in both 1 and 2 SAs, I think he has 2.

100th SA done. 17.5x AP (+1650%), 22 slots, 1400 starting AP.

Insanes: A$B, ACB, CB, TW, RCB, MD, DB, AV, MCB, OV
Legs: SAC, HB

Path: Tutorial to Japan (with H Ursa Luna) -> Geopolitics -> both Far Lands -> 2x HOT, 1x HRome, 1x HScandi, 1x HCCC. Just recently I was able to start skipping CCC. One SA now takes 4-5 hours. Almost all maps take 5-15 min to clear, the exceptions being Final Earth and Drakemor which take about half an hour each. Since it's hard to reduce the clear time of any individial map anymore, at this point progression comes mostly from reducing the number of maps played, which currently stands at 19 (excluding tutorial). I will go for more AP multiplier until I reach 20x AP (+1900%), which should get me down to 17 by skipping Geopolitics and the second HOT. After that, it should be +100 starting AP all the way to 10k+ until I can skipping levels from the start.

For artis I pretty much have everything meaningful, but I guess I wouldn't be 100 SAs deep if I didn't enojy optimizing the last little bit, so I'll probably keep doing WZIB and HCCC at least until I get ACD, BMB and TMB, as well as my HB upgraded to insane.

Congrats on 100 Drinian!

46 SAsc for me now. +950% AP and 10 artis IACB, ISAC, I$B, IA$B, ITW, IAV, IIM, IDB, LHB, LR$B. 2 more SAascs and I will have +1000% AP and will start going for +100 AP bonuses

Thanks for the hard work, Math!

Just about to hit 9
(Methinks I’ll post less frequently once I hit 10.)

+6 Arts
+75% AP

Ins- AV, A$B, TW
Leg- A^B, HB, MD
Epic- SAC, RCB

I have super-ascended ten more times (now 180).

Total boons:
* +5300 AP at startup (+7)
* +2100% AP from levels
* +33 artifact carryover (+3)
* +10 artifact dig speed

Artifacts carried over:

Insane (5): A$B, A^B,  CB, MeD, RCB
Insane (5):  TW,  IM,  AV, SAC, MCB
Insane (5):  HB, TMB, BMB,  DB, ACD
Insane (4):  IV,  OV,  HD,  TD^u

MiD (3): legend, rare, rare
 MB (3): lgnd^u, rare, unco
 MR (3):   epic, rare, unco
 QS (3): legend, rare, unco
 SC (4): legend, epic, rare, unco

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

Highlights:

I am now able to get CSL3 after finishing Hard Ursa Luna, but that doesn't let me skip anything useful right now, so I'm just dumping the AP into additional mercs instead, and running the same set of levels I was before.

I picked Tech Discount as my nineteenth insane (why not), and added Quadruple Strike and Speedy Crafters to the churn. Speedy Crafters had been there before, but I stopped crafting. Eventually it will be used for tech runs on post-super levels.

The end-of-cycle artifact crunch has been awkward lately, and I find myself spending hours fishing for rare digs, to avoid throwing away lots of uncommons from auto-digging. I need to remember to start merging those mid-cycle. I took three artifact carryover boons to help deal with this.

48th SAsc for ChillHouz.

I have finally reached +1000% AP. Also have 10 artis: IACB, ISAC, I$B, IA$B, ITW, IAV, IIM, IDB, LHB, LR$B. I will now start going for 100+ AP rewards. I may have to adjust for extra artifact or even go back to +AP% bonus but for now the aim is to invest heavily in +100 AP rewards and begin the steep, steep climb to +1340k starting AP. Although I think that getting to where I am now was probably harder than getting to the end will be. We will see in due time.

The next milestone I’m aiming to hit will come after minimum 10 more SAscs. If I go all +100 AP for these then I will be able to start with level 2 advancements before I even finish tutorial.

I guess you could say…everything is coming up ChillHouz!

49th SAsc for ChillHouz.

+100 starting AP
+1000% AP from levels
10 artis: IACB, ISAC, I$B, IA$B, ITW, IAV, IIM, IDB, LHB, LR$B.

9 more SAsc’s and I’ll be able to start a run with phase one fully unlocked. For now, joint strike on Hureuey’s Castle feels good man.

WZIB blessed me with a CB! Anyways a week seems pretty solid now, using 1 IM per super. I can keep that up a long time. Thinking insane A^B before the CB? Or I might be able to start skipping hospitals...

After my next insane I can probably stop taking more arti slots too huh?

The next milestone I’m aiming to hit will come after minimum 10 more SAscs. If I go all +100 AP for these then I will be able to start with level 2 advancements before I even finish tutorial.

I have enough +100APs to have Phase 3 unlocked, but this is where I gave up, b/c the next step is another 25k to unlock phase 3 (that's another 250 SAsc's), then 100k for the auto-SAsc (another 1000 SAsc's).

Makes me wonder how the champs Xeno, Ivan0, Zinthos managed to pump out >1300 SAsc's.

True krinid, I wonder if I’ll get burnt out. But the more you ascend the faster you get to the next one. All the proud hyperascenders you mentioned could do like 10 runs a day or more towards the end if so inclined. It’s tedious and idk how fun it’ll be because doing that actually takes more active time. I think I will get there but I’ll probably lose interest in grinding as hard as I am now and just get there slowly.
