Eternity Challenge 8

is the worst. That is all.

start the challenge and get your replicanti before buying TS 133

Welcome to EC11.

I know, but it still takes hours, and if you misjudge it at all you need to start over :-(

hours? how are you getting hours? it should be minutes

[lordatog]

I don't understand how it could possibly be that quick, unless you're leaving it so late that you can finish with only a few replicanti galaxies. I'm currently waiting on a 28-galaxy run to finish, which was taking about 19 hours. I'm not sure if it will be enough. But there doesn't seem to be anything else meaningful I can do right now. Grinding out more EP or theorems is very slow, and does very little to help with EC 7x5, which is the only other completion I still need in the first 8. And I'm nowhere near being able to complete EC 9x1.

Fun fact about ec 7x5: you'll probably have difficulties with it for quite some time. It's not recommended to do it until you have done ec10x1! What time study tree are you using in ec8?

[lordatog]

Idle, since that's mandatory (and I'm waiting for full galaxies before getting the 10x slower replicanti), and Time Dimensions

Which ec8 completion is this?

[lordatog]

#5. But all of them have taken hours. Like, it's literally impossible to do it faster unless you can finish with only a few galaxies, which has never yet been the case. I've needed at least 10 for every completion.

I think you might be pushing your ec8 completions early. If I remember correctly, I put off ec8x3 until after I did ec9! Try grinding some TTs with TD/Active or TD/Idle,

[lordatog]

I've been doing that, but it's so slow. And 9x1 seems very, very, very far off. Well, if this works, I'll have EC 8x5 finished. And if it doesn't, I'll come back later. Thanks for the advice.

If you want, you can send me your save in a dm and I can check if there's any issues.

28? holy hell, man, that is extreme. are you forgetting to buy infinity dimensions?

u are doing something really not great somehow and i bet you didnt farm enough TT

ec9x1 is alot easier as ec8x5

try todo a single run like 20 minutes with timepath and active (fast enternity 10 times to get active multiplier to x50 on)
and you probally get a huge amount of TT
dont buy any challenge, dont forgett to manually get replicanti galaxies in active path

after this if you dont wanne use guides, farm another time 20 minutes or so
and try challenges and try different timestudies out. reading the destrictions really helps

if you get new EP highs buy first the ep multiplier, other upgrades and after that more TT

edit cause Hypertext Eye mentions it.
you have to manually buy infinite dimensions in the ec8 challenge.
just buy first dimensions only. something is really off or you try it too early

[lordatog]

Yes, I'm manually buying my 50 infinity dimensions. And the active path is no longer getting me anywhere; I can only get new TTs with long idle path runs. So I'm doing something very wrong in EC9x1, I guess? I'll check it out again, but last time I tried it I immediately wrote it off as "not possible any time soon" and that wasn't long ago.
