Am I too stupid for this game?
Hello, folks,

I don't think I understand an important aspect of the game.

I've been playing it now since 01.10.

I have 900,000 Energy and 150,000 Magic and high Energy and Magic Power.

But I can't make it across the sky in Adventure Mode, not to mention the first Titan.

I'm currently in the 9/25 round at the basic challenge, but I need at least 2 days per round, so I can't get any further with the main bosses.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get ahead in the adventure?

(I have the Energy and Magic equipment at 100) :steambored:

It is a rare drop, meaning that you tend to need quite a bit of kills before it drops even when you can idle that zone.

Something must have been skipped because with a fully levelled and boosted set of the cave gear alone you should already be close to the stats needed for the sky zone, you even have 9 clears of the basic challenge to boost it too.


What you could look into is the iron pill from blood magic, it requires a bare minimum of 100 blood and has a cooldown of 11h30.
It gives you permanent adventure stats (they are added to your "base" adventure stats shown in the spend exp menu) based on the amount of blood you spend on it, so with the amount of magic stats you have you might be able to get a bit from there as well.

The first and most important tip would be that if you merge copies of the same item together they level up, up to level 100 which has double the potential stats of a level 0.
Most items also have a one-time reward for levelling them to 100, a lot of them are in a set, you can have more informations on what the rewards are and what the sets are in the item list (you can access that from the inventoy, things that have a red border in the item list have already been levelled to 100 once).
After levelling an item, you need to apply boosts to it in order to make it reach its maximum stats.

So the first step would be to level the cave's set to 100 and boost it if that wasn't already done.

Next is itopod that you should have just unlocked in the sky zone with the key that drops (fairly rarely) there.
Itopod is a special adventure zone that you can scale up in stats through floors to maximize your gains, it has a stable 12% chance to drop boosts (not that useful early on but later it will become your main source of boosts) and each kill reward you with PP progress.
When you reach 1 million progress, you gain 1 PP that you can spend on perks.

Among the perks in the begining of the first row, the third called "newbie adventure perk" gives you 100 power and toughness (which is pretty big at that point in the game) and a bonus of +10% to adventure stats, which will obviously help you quite a bit to get to the next zone.

If you kept levelling all basic trainings until now, your cap on those should now be quite a bit lower, allowing you to level all of them at maximum speed.
When you unlock the last entry of both categories, a feature called advanced training unlocks where you can put energy in order to gain a bonus to power and toughness that will last until you rebirth.
This is a very important feature even if it resets after each rebirth and you will continue to use it for the entire game.

If you combine all of that, you should be able to fairly easily get past the sky zone even though it doesn't have a set.
The challenge is nice and all but it shouldn't be required at that point in the game yet, you might want to go back to it when you have the set from the first titan or the zone after it to complete one in less than 24h to unlock the 24h challenge and do one of those since it makes all bosses above boss 24 give 1 extra exp, and since bosses are your main source of exp at that point it really helps.

Thank you for your full explanation.

I have done all of it so far, except your second point:



"Next is itopod that you should have just unlocked in the sky zone with the key that drops (fairly rarely) there.
Itopod is a special adventure zone that you can scale up in stats through floors to maximize your gains, it has a stable 12% chance to drop boosts (not that useful early on but later it will become your main source of boosts) and each kill reward you with PP progress.

So should I do Sky Adventures manually now until I unlock a key for a new adventure?
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I've now spent 15 minutes doing the Sky Level and unlocking the key.

Now I am in Floor 0 all the time and kill everything with one punch. After Floor 1 and 9 Kills it starts again in Floor 0

What happens now?

Thanks for explaining that with the iron pill, I never bought it (I have over 100,000 blood cells every time I run it) because I didn't read that it was permanent.
Okay, I get it.

Thank you Fel!

That was exactly why I was stuck.

THANKS <3 <3 <3

For itopod here is how it works.
When you click "enter the itopod" you can input a starting floor (up to the highest floor ever reached minus 1) and an end floor (the minimum would be the starting floor and the maximum 1600, no matter if you can reach it or not).

If the starting and end floor are not the same, every 10 kills you go up a floor, until you either reach the end floor or get defeated and it starts again on the starting floor.

The usual way to use it is to input the same number in both, preferably a floor you can 1-hit kill for the best results, and only use the climbing method when you need to push your highest floor reached because you can 1-hit kill there already and you gain more by doing that on higher floors.

After your power reaches a few thousands you will be able to use the "optimal floor" button to automatically set the start and end floors to the value of the highest floor you can 1-hit (or up to the highest floor reached minus 1).
At that point it will also automatically farm itopod while you are offline, you would not get boost drops from that but exp, AP and PP are all gained normally and when you unlock macguffins from itopod you get them from offline itopod as well.
Thank you very much for your answer.

One last question,

I've now unlocked the first 5 Newbie Perks. What should I unlock next? Many look good and with others I don't know what they are for.

I would go for the one that lets your advanced training start with extra levels. Makes your adventure stats better after rebirth. Also, it will make your Wandoos level faster, but you will get that after defeating the first titan (GRB).

energy/magic power + cap are decent to invest in early on, maybe bars once you have a few million energy and a million magic

Thanks Fel, I couldn't figure it out either, but then I realized that iron pill wasn't something like the number where I should only cast it when I can get it higher :x
