1e12 skipped time

[Derpykat5]

So I'm spamming Refined Wormhole and this is only going up by about 1e6 per second (at 15x time distortion). At this rate it would take literal days to reach the goal. Is having the Temporal Stabilizer at legendary mandatory for this unlock? I've never really done much with Chronomancer, so I have no idea how this really works. I've stacked as much evocation efficiency as I possibly can and I don't see this being possible in a reasonable amount of time.

Some of the other equipment will also raise your max time distortion, specifically Stabilizing Pauldrons and Timeshroud. Sadly, they again need to be legendary quality.

If you're not set up for playing Temporalist gear-wise in the first place, there's no real need to unlock Mechanos right now anyway. The situations where you'd want to use it outside of that are incredibly limited, so maybe hold off on that one for now.

It's not that I need to unlock it, it's that I would like to. It's an extra 50 achievement points total, which isn't much but it does boost profits slightly.

If your goal is achievements, then you'll definitely want to be getting the Temporalist core gear to be usable (legendary on especially Temporal Stabilizer).

Temporalist is really really good for collecting lots of achievements, Autoclicks (no way you're hitting 1e12 any other way), total sources and amounts of each individual source, and character level. Plus the ones for earning compressed time.

That said, the actual amount of profit boost from just 50 achievement points is small enough to be entirely unnoticeable at your stage of the game.

Yeah, but there's also the fact that it's the only t3 pet I haven't unlocked yet. I'll work on the temporalist gear I guess, my primary sets are all legendary already.

Equipping stabilising pauldrons will increase your time distortion somewhat even if they aren't fully upgraded, but the temporal stabiliser does have a substantial effect on your ability to skip time. Seek to upgrade it if you can; as the most useful of the weapons to have an incantation bonus from enchanting, raising it to legendary quality does have general utility.

You could also try using chronomancer to skip time. Casts of wormhole will be individually weaker than those of refined wormhole, but as a shard spell, you should be able to cast it faster.

That's actually a good tip! Not sure how, but Refined Wormhole is actually skipping less time than the normal one. Still seems like it will take a pretty long time though.

Uh... Turns out the Temporal Stabilizer and the Stabilizing Pauldrons alone were worth like, two orders of magnitude. This will be over quick.

[BlueGlass]

Yeah, remember weapons increase their main effects exponentially with their quality. That's pretty huge. Plus you can now enchant it for 5% incantation efficiency per level, and lots of classes can benefit from an incantation efficiency equipment set.

Oh, I forgot about the enchanting dust requirement. Oh well, I guess now's as good a time as any to push for level 220.

Week of persistence is a good time to be stacking true sorcery.

Tempo is also the best at gathering void entities, it can stack synthetic entity crazy fast. So yeah follow the tempo guide on the wiki and pay attention to the gear and you'll hit a huge number of achievements.
