You can do ec9, don't buy ts181

[Nyu]

yeah you probally maxed with tt without heavy waiting.

ec9 will take you probally 40 to 60 minutes.
if you see crunches stop giving more IP, disable autocrunches for a while and start waiting for timeshards to build up.
i recommend timepath and active.
if you dont care for spoilerbuilds
this works for ec9x1 11,22,32,42,51,61,73,83,93,103,111,121,131,141,151,161,162,171

Thanks everyone. I see what my problem was. Since EC9 has infinity dimensions feeding into time dimensions, and since you need Infinity Power to unlock it, I assumed the infinity path would be better for it than the Time path, and never actually tried otherwise. This is very much not true. It's still hopeless right now with the infinity path, but the Time path cleared it easily.

now you can farm a little tt or try ec9x2 directly i guess

For other people here, this is because the TD path gives much more IP than the ID path. This overcomes the less multipliers to IDs from having the TD path instead of the ID path

My challenge completions are at 5 5 5 3 5 2 2 1 and I've hit an apparent wall with them. My grand strategy is to just focus on eternity upgrades so I can get to the point where TS 181 is available. If a challenge seems unreasonably out of reach, you're probably just trying it too early.

Sidenote: it's weird how with my current progression (1e33 EP, ~240 TT because there's no rush for them now) challenge 7x3 gets to within 1e10 IP of completion on the active path and just completely stalls out. I can sit there for half an hour and get nowhere. Looking forward to being able to complete that one and maybe start snowballing again.

not always. using a different path at the first three-way split can make a big difference.

If you're stalling out on active path, you may want to refresh the active IP multiplier by crunching once. I think you can also push ec6, which might make ec7 much easier.

I was not precise: I'm at the point during challenge 7 where as soon as I max my replicanti galaxies I need to crunch immediately for optimal IP gain, and even doing that gets me nowhere. It turns out I needed to do challenge 6 and be on the Infinity path, not the Time path, because I switched to it and finished 6x3 basically immediately. And then 7x3 finished basically immediately afterwards. And then I grinded out 7x4. Thank you for the push.
