How to do "Own 50.000 AP at once" mastery challenge?

[Gr3atsaga]

This set 3 mastery challenge has never completed for me. I can't tell if the value is meant to really be 50 or 50,000, but either way I have ascended with more than both values of AP.

Do you use the AP before going into the contract?

It's not a contract. It's a Mastery challenge.

Ascend with 50k or more AP, don't spend it. Once you begin a new run, go to the mastery window and it should complete.

So the challenge is specifically to ascend and start a new ascension with 50k or more AP. Not the most clear description for sure. I've used coupons and had more than 50k to spend while on an ascension. I've even backed out of it and came back, so definitely you have to gain it from clicking the ascend button.

It can be a funny at times when it comes to updating. If you own 50k and it has not checked it off, give it a little while and check again.

Best way I had gotten this one was using the ascend coupons from the arcade. I had buffed AP gains so it didn't take too make coupons to reach it.

So you *can* get it by using coupons? I've used coupons to get more than 50k several times and it never checked off.

These answer the question across two different posts.
Basically, for some challenges, it checks whether you meet the requirements at the moment you go back to check the challenge.

You have to hold 50,000 AP when you check, not at any point before.

It's similar to how you need to grow a plant, before checking. You can't have grown the plant before and then expect the challenge to remember it.

Actually, the really *don't* answer the question pertaining to whether or not AP awarded from a coupon counts for the mastery challenge. But thanks. I do know the answer.

You are correct that the contracts are not retroactive, but none of the mastery challenges have been that way. Why should I have known that I must actually go to the mastery challenge page while having the AP for it to check off?

Let's take the second challenge in set 1 for instance. "Defeat a monster... literally..." - are you saying that if I were to have never checked the mastery page and then ascend and then go check the mastery page that the challenge would not check off because technically since the point of actually checking the mastery page I haven't killed a monster?

I'll test this theory when I get to Lava cash. Since by your logic if I get Lava cash but then spend it, it shouldn't check off when I go check mastery. Or any other challenge like mining Djinn with miner 6. If I have that miner mine Djinn, but then switch them back to another ore before checking mastery... then again by your logic it *shouldn't* check off.

There could be some consistency to improve the qol. I don't know what needs to be checked when completed or checked off at any time.

If something didn't check off even though you clearly completed it, it means you need to actually have it actively completed when you confirm

I think the most inconsistent/almost buggy Contract Mission is : Grow Plant X in X Minutes.
I feel like the Game throws a Coin everytime i plant the required flower.

Head : Quest complete
Tail : Too slow even tough you actually needed like 1/50 th of the allowed Time.

I think this one is misworded, or at least, everytime I grow a plant, I immediately harvest it :)
