Feels like I've hit a wall with adventure stats

[󠀡󠀡]

I'm on boss level 170 or so and trying to fight the next titan, the beast. My power/toughness stats are around 7e6/4e6, 50000/40000 base.
The wiki recommends stats a factor of 100 higher.
I'm still in the process of maxing out some of the equipment drops, such as those from UUG, Walderp and the beardverse. I doubt that maxing them out will make up the difference.
Am I missing something, or do I just keep taking the iron pill, eating fruit of adventure (Tier 4), growing adventure beards and keep putting xp into adventure stats?

If you have the equipment from boring-ass earth fully levelled and boosted that's all the equipment you really need.
You also do not want to put exp into adventure stats for quite a while, it is significantly better spent increasing your energy and magic stats.

As for what you might be missing, double check all of the features you unlocked up to now to see if there is a source you missed.
If you didn't do challenges, the basic challenge brings you a big bonus and the other challenges help indirectly.

Advanced training gives you quite a bit, blood magic can increase your time machine's output to fuel the gold diggers and NGU has quite a lot to bring to the table, including adventure stats bonuses.

For fruits, you really want to get them to rank 24 as soon as you can, especially fruit of gold (very cheap to upgrade so good to harvest for seeds), pomegranate (lots of seeds) and fruit of wisdom (lots of exp when eaten at high ranks).

The stuff in badly drawn world kills me in 3 hits, and on boring ass-earth kills me in one hit. I guess I'll try to max out UUG and beardverse equipment first and see if that helps.
I'm on 2/7 on troll challenge right now and the next one unlocks tier 24 fruits. I guess I've been putting doing this challenge... When I first did the troll challenge I was very low level and it took me something like 20 hours to get through it. I swear I have PTSD from it.

Oh, given how you were speaking I assumed you were right before the beast, sorry.

For the armour and weapon, always go for the ones from the highest zone/titan you can farm, so in your case walderp's set (or rather either of his sets since he drops two).
Of course there will be times when you will want to check bonuses more specifically but in terms of adventure stats the highest zone/titan is always the strongest when levelled and boosted.

You haven't hit a wall. You're ignoring the natural and obvious progression that the game wants you to take.

Spend time working on things you can do, like challenges, beefing up NGUs and aquiring Macguffans. There will be times when you can't realistically go to the next zone without working on ALL of your stats.

There's really no reason to blaze through the zones, anyway, since it'll take awhile to max out the sets from each world (a LONG friggin time starting at Chocolate world apparently).

If you don't even have bdw great yet you are not ready for the beast. You do not need BAE gear. The typical meta nowadays is to get mid level bdw, then do a long rebirth, where you max bdw, get 60-80k NGU Adventure, and 60-80k Advanced Training. Then stay in the long rebirth until you get enough drops from Beast to not need so much AT to get back there.

You can also do this same thing with level 1 BAE gear instead of BDW level 100, but that is not as popular.

Anyway, do not worry about base adventure stats at all, and focus on getting better gear and better Adventure multipliers (especially NGU Adv and permanent BEARd). Lots and lots and lots of energy is what gets you there faster

Sounds good. I stopped pumping NGU Adventure when I reached diminishing returns at 1000, but it sounds like I need to pump it a lot more. It sounds like I need to do some long runs.

You will reach diminishing returns on all the NGU items but that doesn't mean to stop doing htem. For example, you will one day reach a time when you're at level 1,000,000+ in all those NGUs. So while they diminished from 1000 and higher, but you can expect that your % gains will keep increasing even if you just keep going in NGUs also.

An example is that even if you may feel like moving your stats around to different NGUs or beards to get them to reach the soft cap, you might consider that drop chance and adventure stats are something that you are almost always increasing every time you play.

Took me over two weeks but I finally got there. I just had to keep working on my adventure stats and pumping xp into energy and magic as was advised in this thread.
