Just look at the first page it sais he has 59

It's probably a lot more than 59. I just know that it should be at least 59 because here's ancient screenshot showed +400% AP and 11 artifacts, so I'm assuming
34 faster digs
16 +AP%
+9 artifact slots

But in reality probably here got a lot more than 16 +AP% by now. It was an old screenshot.

Oh ok, my bad. The only thing I noticed when looking at that screenshot was that he went and maxed Faster digs adv after all those dig speed SAscs. That Ap is definetly needed there lol

All digs under 1 hour + auto-dig seems like a nice end game goal. Anyone know how long it takes to dig everything on hex earth without any dig speed boosts?

All digs under 1 hour + auto-dig seems like a nice end game goal. Anyone know how long it takes to dig everything on hex earth without any dig speed boosts?

Given that there's a massive list of digs available, I'd say 4 months if you have Auto-Dig, and 6 months if you don't.

I haven't counted but there's probably ~200 digs. So assume some distribution like 100x C @ 8h, 50x UC @ 16h, 30x R @ 24h, 20x E @ 36h digs (not accurate #'s, but just averaging out among the variants), we get a total of 3040h = 127 days = 4.2 months with Auto-Dig (and sufficient additional Idle time).

Since the topic came up ... gonna try it out, just not at regular dig speed.

Just started Hex, got Auto-Dig to 40% & restarted Hex.

Digging Speed: 87% reduction (13% of full duration)
Advancement x50%
Super Ascend Reward x20%
Super Ascend Reward x20%
Super Ascend Reward x20%
Super Ascend Reward x20%
Super Ascend Reward x20%
Super Ascend Reward x20%

So started digging around 14:20 Aug 23, 2022 ... standby to see how long it takes to get through all digs. (;

1st dig is 87% UC to normally take 36 hrs, but now to take 4.68 hrs. Still pretty long . . .

Actually being realistic, I probably won't finish all the digs ... if full time estimate is ~127 days, 13% of that is still 16.5 days, so guess I need some another 15 or so x20% dig speed reductions to really make this truly quick.

here could probably drain the whole thing in <1 day, maybe even a few hours.

1 more update ... there are total 264 digs on Hex, composition as follows (thanks Functor!):
* 3% epic: 8
* 2% epic: 7
* 1% epic: 13
* 7% rare: 13
* 6% rare: 8
* 5% rare: 14
* 4% rare: 15
* 30% - 89% uncommon: 82
* 100% common: 104

Total time: 4483 hours (no buffs)
Total artifact value: 0.89 legendary
Total cost to dig them all: 16.6T

So there is more than enough money from the caches on the level for this money.

Quick calcs indicate that in order to empty all digs in <24 hrs, approx 21 x20% SAsc rewards are required in addition to the 50% faster digging Adv.

How many supers now @krinid?

Yes, I just opened this to say there were 264 digs but you already found it.

Attempt 2 at draining Hex of all dig sites. I don't know how many dig speed buffs I have now as the Stats window shows them all as separate 20% speed increase items instead of one aggregate SAsc bonus like it does for the +25% AP reward, and it goes beyond what is visible on 1 view of the scrolling window, and once you scroll, it's hard to know which have been counted and which haven't ... but I'd estimate ~18 visually and also through calcs. +50% Adv Faster Digs is in play.

The value that shows in Stats for "Digging Speed" is 99% (which is confusing, b/c it really should say "Digging Speed Increase"), the time to dig that shows up for 3% Epic is 17 mins & 1% Common is 4 mins. But with the hideous WZI rounding in play, notably for the 99% which could be anything from 98.5%-99.4%, this leaves room for error.

Total # digs = 264, total time to dig at full duration = 4483 hrs.

And @18 buffs = 0.009007199% actual speed, 0.990992801 = 40.37927426 hrs. I've been digging for about 12-ish hrs, and have ~105 digs left.

I've been actually digging for about 20 hrs now and even activated TW arti a couple times, which confirms that the Auto-Dig bug is still in play (it only claims 1 dig and restarts the 1 next dig after regardless of how long the TW is [mine is Insane TW = 8 hrs] instead of claiming several artis, since as discussed above, dig times are now measured in minutes not hours).

So estimate another 15.6-ish hrs before Hex is completely drained. Currently upgrading ~155 artis . . .

And so far, 5 Rares, 1 Epic, ton of UC & C, handful of P.

Finally got enough SL powers to start the new levels…my god are they terrible

Finally got enough SL powers to start the new levels…my god are they terrible

LOL, you were warned. (;

Going on day 4 or 5-ish of finally taking KG's advice ... QI

Actually feels pretty good. No more urgency to check my phone if some cooldown has finished or artifact has finished upgrading.

Even uninstalled the Idle app from my phone. I actually feel lighter & more sprightly ... must be the reduced weight of the shackles I was bearing.

Not suggesting anyone else quits, just reporting that I did.

2nd SA finally

Updated

Can someone explain to me the point of this leaderboard? To me, all it says is: "These are the people who started playing almost immediately after Idle started, and have been playing Idle very frequently since then."

The point of this leaderboard is to make me famous. This will be one of the most frequently updated post so this post will always be near the top. And then whenever people look at the leaderboard they will see my name because I was the one who made the leaderboard.

XD thank you. that was the best explanation


anyone else care enough to explain?

A very simple one: Why not?

I think it’s helpful to have a “late-game” thread since some of the discussion in this thread is not broadly applicable.

Xeno’s route on Hex Earth, for example, is contingent on an Insane Alloy Values AND an Insane Army Cache Boost. This is not a useful post for 99% of players but is invaluable to the 1%ers.

@Math
Fyi, I tapped out at around 100 SAsc's.

@3.1415926535
If you've never thought "I wonder how many SAsc's other players have done?" then this thread won't sense to you. But you should be wondering. And this also groups the folks together who are actually doing SAsc's so they can chat strats among each other specific to SAsc'ing.

This is not in fact as you say the list of folks who started Idle right after it started. I'm in that category, but Xeno came about 1 year alter. Parsifal @ 1 was also a fairly early players, as was JK @ 0. ie: Idle start date does not correlate to # of SAsc's
