Autocasting upgrades help

[Sir Mushy]

Anyone has an idea how to skip/hasten unlocking of very boring mana autocast upgrades?

I am currently at R8 and never to this point needed more than 1M mana (2M needed for first crappy upgrade).

Is there a way to hasten this? I tried using 40ms autoclicker with dwangels + druid bloodline (108.64m/s) and its still beyond boring.

I cant see how I will accumulate 36 hours "in this game" to unlock faceless...

Thanks for any help

if you can wait till research it will give you a nice boost (it starts from R16)
also merc build should be able to give much more mana regen than yu currently have

[Sir Mushy]

That sounds promising. I guess I wont be finishing elven challenge 2 on time then.. :/

Thanks buddy

Since you already have access to mercs, wich are the best in everything it sounds quite stupid to use an other faction to get a high mana reg. I think there is a merc build for R7-R9 wich is called IGOT an Excess of Mana wich unlocks Mana Waste and all Autocast upgrades except of the last one. If you want you can try it, I think the run would need about 1 or 2 days.

maybe try this: http://realm-grinder.wikia.com/wiki/Merc_Builds
(IGOT an Excess of Mana)

@nico: awww... you beat me by fiev seconds:P

[Sir Mushy]

That is indeed a great idea guys. I recently got mercs, made Diamond forge template and forgot about their versatility.
I will give it a try.
Thanks

most later merc builds arent listed on wikia
look on kong or make your own
tis fun to mess with.

I suggest neutral but most state good early on then change to evil + merc = best

skip drow forever.. until waay later in R's

dont think about the lighthing version of the r7-13 either use esc and diamond pickaxe
should be good until you build gems enough
then angel the hell out of the build mag regen add mana to buildings etc.

if you are going for a long game, drow's mana addicts gives a surprising amount of mr.

here's another source for builds:

"IGOT an Excess of Mana [G] R7-R11" worked awesomely.
In some 4 hours I got to 3rd autocasting (without penalties).
And it was kinda fun to watch mana regen going up and up :D
Thanks everyone!

[Nico]

Yeah, this game is all about builds. First merc builds and later Research builds. You must learn to build your own good builds somewhen to proceed properly.

[The Nothing Man]

yep
so far no builds listed on wikia or goofs not wikia etc
work really well.. none.. i mean yea they do but..
ive found a few that reallly work.

3rd autocasting? which spell is that? im on my like 7th upgrade and im much lower res than you..
strange.

[Sir Mushy]

@Kaldire
3rd autocasting full name is "Masterful Autocasting". I never had a need to grind autocasting. Everything worked good enough without it. I dont know how relevant "res level" is for any comparison. Last few days I am literally doing a res per day.

I left this IGOT build offline for ~10 hours and I unlocked all the way to 5th autocasting upgrade and I am expecting 6th "Planned Autocasting" in just a few hours.
Awesome :D

this special IGOT an Excess of mana build was primary made to get the Mana Waste trophy as early as possible. It also is a quite good mana reg build, especiallly after you unlocked Mana Waste and you finally can buy all other max mana upgrades.
But sadly it somehow makes all the new players think that the IGOT build itself is mana reg build wich it isn't. IGOT is the strongest long term merc build and IGOT is basically referring to the good merc upgrade wich gives you assistants based on spells cast since this means that everything grows even just because of this upgrade. Wich also means that there is nearly no growth while being offline. And even the autocast upgrade unlocking is slowed a lot since your mana reg is tripled while being online.

[The Nothing Man]

I got again the silver planned autocasting really early on..
so idk

IGOT ill look into that but so far my merc builds, and new even throw all others out the window
but not always in terms for just mana.

IGOT worked like a charm for me. At R10 and took less than 8 hours to get 30M mana from 1M. Tomorrow I will go up to 50M because the last autocasting requires 200M mana produced and R40...

[The Nothing Man]

you dont need r40 to get 200M
just time

nor do you need igot, but it helps.
angels will work. without any other odd builds :)

took me like 2 hrs to unlock all but 1 mana tier.
