How Far Did You Get in Your First Transcendence?

[SLG]

Title says it all.

(As I write this, I'm currently at 1544.)

[NomiSaltium]

If I remember correctly, I got past zone 3350 in a deep run with a hybrid build in my first transcendence. My HZE right now is 3811 in my second transcendence, and I think I'll get farther in the next several runs before transcending for the third time.

[Ogami]

I was at 2344 before my first trancendence. Got to around 2850, then trancended again, mainly because i reached my bonus souls limit of 6 million. On my 2nd trancendence i just hit 3285. But i am again at my souls bonus limit ( 235 million) so i will transcend again soon.

[Laokon]

Around 2600, after that 4163. My highest zone after 1 year progress was 2969, and that took me a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long time..

[ruphus]

achieved z1k in just 4 days after transcension
will transcend at z2~3k

[Dried Monkey]

I transcended for the first time at 2859, earning me 33 ancient souls. I spent most of them on Phandoryss and some on Ponyboy, but left Borb almost empty. I realised how crucial Borb is, and decided to transcend again at 2084, earning only 7 ancient souls just so I can spend more on Borb. I'm currently working on attaining my first ascension of my second transcension.

My max was up to zone 2854, and earning 9AS... was going to wait till a full 10 AS but things are starting to slow down.... will be resetting soon and spliting all my AS between Borb or Pony

I have found the MaxTP to be VERY limiting.... 300zones of 20.4mill HS every boss and it rasises maybe 2 or 3k each new boss....

I was at Max HZE 2700 or so pre Trans

4001. My best pre-Trans was 4000. Now that my soul cap is 150x what it was, I'll have a reason (maybe) to go further?

Borb Heroes ftw?

I think you're right about that. As for how much you'd want to level Borb, I might have an estimation in mind.

On topic (to some extent), my HZE during my second transcension is 4277.

[RhodosGuard]

I transcended to try it out, when it became available. I got +28 AS. So i have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Idea which Zone I was at. But at the moment, Im only running Idle runs, focusing on -ancient cost, +idle power and + solomon. Atm Im somewhere at 1.3k. I have no plan to stop ascending untill I get at least another 10 or 15 AS.

[Acidworm]

I think I got to about 1450 before transcending my first time. I transceneded again around 2050. Currently on my first run after transcension so it is real slow.

Got 30 ancient souls first time around, and 8 more the second time.

After my first run I found that I really needed to level up Borb and he already was giving me a 50% boost, so I took it to 70% and will see how this plays out.... but I feel like 100% may have been the best bet but I wanted to make sure I had Chor at 10 and Pony at 19

We'll see

[Hans Rudi]

i got to zone 2800 resulting in +11 AS which makes a total of 50. As i reached my cap at the same time i decieded to go for my 2nd transcencion

[Douchlas]

i did 2701.
But i got 39 Ancient souls.
I farmed and didn't push too much.
As pushing for higher is in no use unless you could farm there.
So i went with efficiency insted of pushing for days.

That's impossible,right?
I was level 1893 pre-transcend,now I'm only 1110.

I hate math by default,but I don't see any sense of the fact I beating zone 1095,then after ascend I can't go more than 1090,meanwhile I take ~400k souls on every reset.
Why I cannot progress faster and how many time I need to beat the zone 3600 (for the achivement) ffs?

Two ways I can help with that:

1. Use a calculator[kepow.org] to figure out the theoretically optimal levels for you ancients, and what hero to gild. Note that there are other 1.0-capable calculators, I just linked to one that's fairly familiar to me in format.

2. Paste your save into Clicker Lister[alexbonjour.github.io] and paste back the reddit formatted output. We can essentially tell you the same generalized ideas that the above would, and probably explain the reasoning behind it as well.

Either way, if I can't help you (due to being out of town tomorrow), I know there's some real CH experts here who probably know the guidelines better than I do. We'll get you to 3600 if it takes us suggesting 52768 levels of Juggernaut! (I've never had more than 10K, myself!)

Definitely use the calculator he recommended, it's been working perfectly for me. I beat my highest zone as well, by almost 500 zones, the first transcendence (from 2490 up to almost 3k). This one I might even finally get the 3600 achievement.

I have been getting a lot further then before, because I am going active ( I used to only idle) at the end of the run to push extra levels and going until I can't kill any longer. Higher zones pay out way more since the changes to the game and it's best to keep going now until you can't kill the boss. At that point, turning on all your abilities to get another 1-2 bosses is very worth while if the next boss is primal.

It's also going further, simply because of how many souls you get now. I went from 210m souls all time to 6B souls all time during my first transcendence; which took roughly 5 days.
