About unlocking 24h challenge

[david_fly]

Ok, so if I beat basic challenge in less than 24h I will unlock 24h challenge. What's the point of this? If I'm able to beat basic in less than 24h I will perfectly be able to do so in 24h challenge. At least the first level of it. But I see people having problems with 24h challenge. Where is the difference between doing a basic challenge in less than 24h and doing a 24h challenge?

The 24h challenge is not one that stays the same as you complete it several times like the basic challenge.

The first clear is definitely no different, but the boss to defeat goes up rather sharply with each completion.
Of course the reward also goes up accordingly.

To give you some context, the last completion requires you to defeat boss 292 within 24 hours, something you probably are unable to do right now.

It is the only challenge with a real "fail" condition (going beyond 24h).

Thank you. And how can I know, more or less, that I am able to beat basic challenge in less than 24h? Is it 24 natural hours or hours of in-game?

Ingame hours, but if you let offline time do its work then it counts as well.

As for how to know, just look at the boss you usually reach by playing without minding bosses (which is what you do for nearly all of the game except perhaps the very start), you might not be able to reach that high in 24 hours but it should be relatively close.

More importantly, leave most of the challenges to either when you start needing the rewards or when you can clear it with just a few very short rebirths (3 minutes usually).
For example, the basic challenge is not that helpful until you reach mega land, at that point you can clear it so quickly that it isn't much of a challenge.

Similarly, by the time you reach Walderp you should be able to complete most challenges quickly and have a use for the rewards.
The challenges that get harder with each completions will require waiting for higher stats (usually around the Beast) to clear.
The last bits of challenges (especially 24h challenge) are usually cleared right before jumping to the next difficulty.
