Stoic Resistance advice?

[dman_dustin]

Something doesn't seem to be right, I am at R32, I'm using Fairy Bloodline, with Fairy Faction and I don't have much faith or expectation to reach 1e21 gems this reincarnation.

Now I don't know how much difference it is between R32 and R33, when it says it can be done in an hour at R33 (maybe an hour and half), some guides have said that research naturally buffs up your factions even when you don't have the research option, which accessing research doesn't seem possible at all without abdicating (likely prior to ascension), so I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to get Stoic Resistance since I don't feel factions are increasing that much outside of the usual reincarnation buff.

I can wait until R33 or R34 (after I finish Prestige Challenges), but can someone explain how you get Stoic Resistance.

Like what is exactly helping reach Stoic Resistance? Reincarnation? Research? Spell Combination?

Because I'm only at 3.7e15 gem at around 4000 mana using what I assume are the best spells that provide the most gold.

Also are excavations important? Dimaond Pickaxe? I can't even buy any of the dwarven upgrades because the lowest is 5e45 at the moment I only have 2e38.

Am I just missing something something incredibly obvious that is helpful in reaching 1e21 (I think that's the Stoic Resistance range), or am I just impatient, because I can't help even if I'm being incredibly impatient I don't see how I can go from 3.7e15 to 1e21 even in a couple hours without some serious upgrade power because that's what around 1 million times more gems? Wouldn't there be a serious gem wall with no abidcations even at R32 or R33.

Am I even using the right bloodline or even the right faction?

Advice would be helpful.

It's looking like I'm being impatient

Oops wrong information, I meant 1e27 not 1e21, but that's even worse, but I kind of can see where I was wrong, for some reason prior to Prestige research I was lacking in mana, barely enough to even cast spirtual surge, and that was with ALL mana upgrades and the druid heritage.

For some reason and I might've missed it, but my mana is increasing allowing more spells, so I can now see why I could potentially reach 1e27 given enough time, especially since now I can actually purchase Dwarven upgrades, which seemed impossible just a few reincarnations ago, maybe research is helping.

Anyway I think I figured this out, you can ignore me if you want. Should've waited a few minutes before posting.

good luck - I just started an old save (R17) to get that one before ascending; I forgot getting it in my "regular" save and it feels like an impossible task at R40+. It's sad because I only need a few hours if I want to rush a whole R in the early 60s (maybe 4 hours while doing something else on my second monitor).

--> Are you still going with fairy / fairyBL or did you try (or complete) it with fairy / druidBL?

Research points bonuses(you know, those "boost X faction by Y%" thingies on the research facilities) apply ALWAYS, even if you don't have the Unique building bought, which is why waiting till you unlock prestige research is good since, you know, 4 bonuses instead of 1. Also, fairyline is MUCH better than druidline for this.

Yes, excavations and spell combos are important. You need to make use of every production boost you can, but doing a full spell combo and excavations is one of the more basic things.

My main issue in this game sometimes is that my game tends to hang at a set number of gems or circumstance,and for a few moments, nothing happens until something happens the biggest issue I had was max mana, I couldn't cast hardly any spells, suddenly without warning (likely due to mana waste, which I completely forgot about until afterwards) I wasn't hanging anymore.

It's kind of annoying that I have this impatient attitude of sorts or this doubt I can accomplish a task when all I have to do is wait a few seconds or so, or a few minutes and BAM! suddenly I can do what I did.

Or even understand how something works, or why something happened, and then I read the right upgrade or research and I'm like "OH, okay"

I should've just waited before even posting, there have been a few topics that I wanted to post on, for clarification purposes but I reread things, or even waited and it turned out to be fine. Don't know why this was one I didn't wait a few moments.

If I was still hanging after a few hours for Stoic Resistance, THEN I should've posted but I didn't.
