Mercenary builds

[Naruguy]

What are are some your better mercenary builds you've heard or experienced before?
My build is currently Strong Currency, Black Market, Heavy Coins, Territorial Expanse, Mitosis, Mining Prodigies, Battlehammers, Magic Resistance, Mana Addicts, i picked God's Hand and Goblin's Greed as my spells.

esp vs the now 7-10 dvg per pick run.. idk what im doin wrong but again ty for the help mates
any other advice or maybe wanna know what ive done or do lemme know

im stuummpped

As said before, you wont progress without unlocking researches. Mercenary is made to bring you to research phase, not after.

Follow this. If you dont understand it, ask. Dont try to skip it.

I thought that weather thing was a cheat
and urm
I have read that r16 guide, i just cant build the gems and gold+coin to unlock much past lvl 50-55 on all researches
and cant reach any goal even with hitting the blacksmith on LS, seemed to do almost .. nothing..
just odd.

pick is slow but steady
LS so random it hurts i find myself waiting pressing LS and if it doesnt hit bs i wait 20 secs for spell cast again and pray..
even if i hit 20 blacksmiths in a row id not be able to res..

Your current goal is not to Reincarnate but to get enough gems to properly start unlocking all Researches. Wich you can start doing with about 100DVg-1TVg wich you should have already with a few LF runs. It surely isn't easy to do it with just 100DVg, but when you are patient and always use the Vanilla Flavor Juice effect it should be possible.

Hmmm, just as a stupid question: Do you have the Know Your Enemy Part 1 artifact? IF not you really should get it by excavating with an Harlewuin build. Wich is probably difficult with high excavations.

And when you really are pissed of LF and DF and just want to progress and when time is no issue you still can do an IGOT run, wich will need several days but wich will probably get you enough gems to reincarnate. But it is surely not the fastest way, just when you want to let the game idle a little bit more and have no problems with sacraficing a few days.

maybe ill sumarize:
you should have
-know your enemy part 1 artefact
-vanilla flavoru artefact
then you should do the unlock of research / cap the research levels

R16 can take while. i did not stick to the guidelines but did my own run more suited to what and how i was doing things. If you want you can always go to the g00f site, wite down the research requirements and arrange it at the way you play :)

[The Nothing Man]

oh no i forgot to snag that know your enemy! shaat thats what I was doing ack

I do have the flavour :)
and yea i just want to avoid this next res is my point

i almost live on the goof site :P
but some of the info is not up to date but its better than some wikias (tho most are being updated)
for the pc ver vs kong

XD

I have harl build unlocked but i know what you mean i read how to get that darned book.. my bad

hugs n ty! all

Best build R16-R17 is by far Lightning forge until e72 gems if you can then start research Fairy with fairy bloodline.
All you have to do is to unlok all research you can,Use the wiki :
http://realm-grinder.wikia.com/wiki/Research
and also
http://realm-grinder.wikia.com/wiki/Research_Builds
I used Fairy because so far that's the only one I could afford or Demons but you can try any build you want
Elven but the grinding is kinda long
1-2 days to setup a fairy full research build,you can go fast if you have Know your enemy part I artifact with Harlequin !
But fairy is by far the best so far for start research then Demon .

[The Nothing Man]

well i do have 190dvg gems now.. but not from LF from DF DF more stable
at high escavations

just saying still dont have enough FC or Gold to buy past around 50-60 on each research

fairy is good i love em,
some researched stump me as they require factions to unlock em, but meh ill figure that out.
just looking at the graphs n all the infos its saying just to get all researches to 50 then to 80 then worry about which faction to do next

im still stumped though as again bloodlines arent really mentioned vs factions you pick
i was told elven bloodline helps on the FC but in the long run goblin bloodline is better than any production bouns i cant get..

shrug.. neither seem to work out very well..

e72= urmm darn my calc maths dvg? Udvg gems?

e72 is TVg

[The Nothing Man]

oh then.. im lost haha I SHOULD have enough gems by now.
shrug oook
rechecking lists

atm again LF is getting no where even hitting the blacksmith
so yea urmm gulp

[The Nothing Man]

cheers mates
I dont use that service.. as again I was told it was a cheat.
but my point is even if i hit blacksmith 100% of the time, my gems just DONT go up, no matter what..

using DF my pick being super enhanced due to almost 1800 exavations = better outcome for dvg
not really offline, but then again seems LF doesnt work offline either.

again ty all for the support
ill bang my head on this and hope to get that artifact but methinks i have to wait for r17.. gulp seems impossible at this point, been sitting on fairies for awhile now.. trying
cant even unlock 1000 exchanged as goblin which is odd..
bloodlines? whats best always use elven? or .. depends?

[Zombina]

you need artifacts and challenge to help oyu
KYE part 1,Harlequin etc ... anything that will help you to boost yourself !
http://musicfamily.org/realm/SpecialBuilds/
The RWS is not really cheating because it doesnt really affect the rng of the game,you can just see how many times you can use the spell to reach the building you want . It doesn't affect the game by any magic or mystic tricks ! Anyway it's all up to you !
and for bloodline : Fairy or Titans ! Elven only if you're stuck ! Druid for spam spells!

An earlier discussion of the same R16 issues:

[The Nothing Man]

im stuck
FC are few and very far between

ive read all the builds now
im doing as suggested but sadly i excavated to many times
so im stuck :(

ty again ALL wonderful support! i mean that!!

R16 Fairy build(You need Know your enemy part I artifact and harlequin,some challenge unlocked and the research below :
Faction: Fairy
Bloodline: Fairy
Upgrades:

Spellcraft: 1, 30, 105, 135
Craftsmanship: 10, 80, 120, 135
Divine: 55, 135
Economics: 30, 50, 80, 135
Alchemy: 30, 105, 120, 135
Warfare: 120, 135

you don't need to use lot of excavations for this build because with C105 you can find more faction coins ! in my current game I make like 3-4k FC per seconds without using a single excavation
