Growing after latest update

[Shau]

Most of my equipment is lvl 150, i've beaten lvl 79 of the 6th super dungeon and my super guild is about 60+, pets are about rank 168).

The coin upgrades have dimishing returns - even though I return with 2 million gold after a dungeon run, I can't really progress there in super dungeon.

So the only 2 options left:
> grinding rubies (7000 pieces / run) isn't that fast
> grinding anvils ... well not really an option as I'd need to clear the dungeon like a million times to get -30million ability points for a single item.

Nitro Reactor and Gems is just waiting, like 600million clears left to unlock unicorn area 8.

Am I missing anything? I can try and get 4200 -> 5000+ super dungeon points. But it's rather tedious and the potential bonus isn't that overwhealming.

To get enough anvils, i'd have to ascend over and over. There has to be a better options correct? I feel like i've explored most of the new update within 2-3 days. So do I have to wait another 6 months to keep growing?

Ascend over and over is a part of the growth. It is certainly possible to unlock all unicorn areas and dungeons on 20 or so WAs but more WAs help you a lot. At the very least, you want maxed mason's trowel passive, preferably berserker's stone as well. Even without knowing what you do, you seem to be doing something not as efficiently as it can be done - quite a few players have exceeded 50k total modifiers in SDs, some reached even 58k.

Oh, you want these 2 maxed? Well, I'm far from there. 32 ascentions so far. But I will wait for the 640m clears anyway. You get them from handycapped challenges don't you? Or did you spent rubies on them? Both seem to take quite some time. I was hoping to ascend tier 2 first before tackling these grindy challendes. Ascending requires quite some manual input.

[Darnavir]

Most people max them with the WAs and HC challenges. But as I stated, some people got very far with few WAs, including clearing lv 2500+ unicorns with 19 total WAs. 4 digit WA counts are not rare.

The further you progress, the more stuff you keep/don't care about. The WAs themselves require the input for sure.

The area clears don't reset anymore.. did I unlock something or is it a bug? I remember starting from scratch after every ascention.

Mission milestones - MM3600.

[Shau]

Thus, auto area progression is completely useless? I remember spending 15k gold on it!

In this case, I can focus on unlocking the last 3 dungeons.. Any chance that they grant equipment lvl+ and increment effect + anvils? Or maybe even super dungeon anvils?

[Darnavir]

Auto area progression isn't useless for fast WAs - you sometimes want that 1 clear in several areas for the town materials. Every click saved is great.

There is no repeatable bonus level, there is repeatable effect increment in Unicorn Dungeon 4. UD 4 has SD refresh tickets as the first clear reward and if you can clear it in a short WA, it is a way to farm them. Assuming you can deal with the e204+ enemy HP.

Does this mean that the one time rewards of dungeons do reset? Interesting.
The auto area progression doesn't work for me. I've set about 1000# clears on most areas, but my active hero wasn't moving at all. I had to go there manually to get the resources for town.

I've set the refresh count to 16 portal orbs. I have no idea how many runs that is. But I haven't been running into any refresh issues yet. Don't you get like 15 refresh tickets every day by doing daylies?

One-time dungeon rewards reset, and you get one per difficulty as well so if you can get powerful enough quickly after a WA you can farm quite a lot of things through that method.
It might not seem as useful in the very late portions of the game but it can be very helpful during the mid-game portion as there are many materials, scrolls and anvils that come as one-time dungeon rewards.
Even in the late game, there are a decent amount of dungeons from fairy garden and onwards with decent one-time rewards and at that stage you can realistically get 4-5 difficulty unlocked on all dungeons pretty quickly.

[Darnavir]

One time rewards reset on WA. You get 4 dailies with refresh tickets, up to 10 from each. Reset above 16 should be 25 runs per ticket.

My setup is nothing like these casual setups. I have reset at 8M (last run would be the 4.19M), 115 runs per ticket, still positive on portal orbs and can burn over 200 tickets per day running SDs 24/7. I need WAs and that UD4 (clearable up to 4-5 in fast WAs) to farm the SDs at full speed...
