Finally got the Guild level 80 in 2 hours

with 10 seconds to spare...

Congrats, these guild levels accomplishments are really daunting until you get far enough into the bonuses but they give you a lot of points to keep regions unlocked.

I'm on world ascension 5. First time even going for GL 90 at all. Got it within 6 hours, and now I'm going for GL 100 to *finally* unlock the last rank of town buildings!
I was Trixy and got most of the "Kill the challenge boss +lvl 300" in 20 minutes for a TON of points...
I'd managed to capture a fire tiger previously, and used it to gather the logs I can't even *reach* on a 15 minute timer... With just minutes to spare I got all the bosses, except the 650 one, and octo.
Things I'm still having problems with: Killing Octo <2 hours and Rebirth 3 in 5 minutes. The rest are guild levels.
I'm 122 (soon to be 123) of 164. The rest are crazy hard.

The rebirth can be relatively simple if you use a dungeon since those offer a large bounty of exp compared to the region they belong to.

If you farm world ascensions for a bit (relatively short ones focused on just making milestone points), you can relatively easily get the multiplier for guild exp fairly high rather quickly (especially if you focus on WA milestone point efficiency first to at least level 5-6).
Expeditions and auto rebirth 3 is a rather helpful combo for milestones (expeditions can fill up "walk the world" really quickly) by the way, especially if you auto rebirth to a place where you kill enemies quickly (for auto disassembling items as well).

Octobaddie is definitely a bit hard, you kind of need to get a lot of all rebirth tiers to have a decent shot at it due to the debuffs but the time limit makes it a bit stressful.
Building some over-powered items for your heroes can help a bit though.

I *Just* unlocked "walk the world" expedition. I did notice the faster creatures travel more miles. I thought that was a cute way to do it. ^_^
WA Milestone 5 ROI is extremely low. It'd take 10+ WA's to break even... and I'm just on WA #5. :P I might do it at some point... but it's low priority.
Figured out how to get Polished Equipper 10 in under 30 minutes, purely by accident.

[Fel]

It might look like a low return to investment but those upgrades are in fact the most valuable, and the earlier you get them the more returns you get from them.

Right now you are doing relatively slow world ascensions, trying to maximize the points you get from each, which is of course fine.
But in order to max out most of the bonuses you will need a whole lot of points, and you are at a point where you can realistically start to do much faster WA to pile up the points.

10 WA to break even might definitely look like a lot right now, but very soon you would be able to get that many in less than a day of relatively active play for example.
As you get further and further in the game, you will be able to reach higher milestone levels faster, as you have noticed with polisher and walk the world, and reaching those levels even once will make reaching it even easier as well.

It is of course fine to push those fast WA for later if you prefer to not do that for now but at least consider doing it for a bit to see how quickly the points pile up compared to longer WAs.

[Fibulator]

I'm not at a point where I'm even focused on WA's. They're more of an aside, as I focus on other goals. Like my current goal is to hit Guild level 100, and unlock all the T5 buildings. Then see if I can unlock stage 2 of Firetigers to see if I can capture a couple extra colors.
BTW, can you tell me what colors exist in firetiger stage 2?

[Fel]

WA and reaching guild levels are kind of linked, due to the "guild exp booster" upgrade.

For tigers, you have the first 3 stage as single colour (normal, blue and yellow), then all 3 for the 4th.
Same patern for the remaining stages, red, green, purple then all 3 together for the 8th stage.

[Fibulator]

Thanks. Can you tell me the active and passive of the blue? Curious if I should wait until later... 1M clears is quite a large number right now.

[Fel]

The active effect of blue flametiger is automating switching the town research when it reaches the cap level (somewhat useful at some point, nearly useless later when the research times are so high that you don't really reach the level cap, especially with bonus levels affecting the cap).
The passive level multiplies slime coin gains.

There is a rather cheap way to get a lot of clears, assuming that you can clear the area relatively quickly.
Get your active character on that area, fill up your nitro, go to the epic store, in the daily section and use the "passive playtime offline bonus".
It consumes your nitro and give you "offline" progress, you can use it up to 5 times per day, which is great if you have a access to a lot of nitro through the lab.

[Fibulator]

Thanks. I've been saving up potions ready to craft just for that 'trick'. Too bad it's capped at 5 uses per day. -_-
And my cap is still *extremely* low... like 5 hours or so.

[Fel]

Well, as you consume more nitro, you will clear the quest for nitro consumption and increase your cap so it's a rather good use of your resources.
If you put a relatively heavy focus on essence of slime and spend some levels into nitrous extraction you should be able to do it just about every single day too.

The faster your clear of the area, the more clears you get from the offline bonus as well, even 5 hours could give you several hundred of thousand clears (possibly even millions with really quick clears).

That's exactly the route I've been going.

With 5 hours, it gives me about 200k clears. It'd take all 5 to break through 1 stage... and 10 to clear the 2nd one to get 2 more colored pets.
I think I'll do several more WA's first to build up more area boosters. They're currently only 25. Maybe try to get Area Milestone 1250 for the +.5x nitro booster.

[Fel]

It would probably take more than 10 for the second to accumulate the required amount of clears since they are much stronger and you would need higher damage to clear it at the same rate.
Well, with automated rebirth of all 3 tiers (possibly 4 tiers now) piling up you should get the stats to brute-force through flametiger areas relatively quickly.
