Chest Hero Part 4

Task 108 is Reach Level 45, and from 40 to 41 takes 470 xp and from 41 to 42 needs 490 Xp, so that's about 500 clicks to get from 40 to 45.  At level 40, the Knights Handbook rank 1 quest was completed, so I moved on to rank 2 "Iron Knight" and the next goals are: Treasure Chest level 8, Player level 70, Wings tier 1, and it looks like the bonus will be HP+500, ATK+125, DEF+50 and 10% more gold when selling items (though 10% of 5 coins is less than a coin).  Level 45 will also unlock World Boss 4.

The Pets area unlocked, and I guess the Mounts area has been unlocked for a while but I just didn't notice it.

  
The Pets area is pretty detailed and has a 6 image tutorial the first time you go in there.  Essentially you have a 4x4 grid where you can place pets, though the bottom two rows start off locked.  There are 3 eggs at the bottom: you get free eggs every now and then on the first (white) egg icon, and can pay 150 gems for a class C pet at the second (green) egg, and the third (purple) egg lets you spend a pet coupon for a class B pet.


Click the eggs to put pets on the grid, then drag to merge them, or drag slimes onto pets to feed the pets.  Pets of different ranks don't merge.  You can also drag a pet onto the very top left box, and it will now go with your into battles.

At the top, the Collection icon takes you to a collection page with 4 big categories.  If there is a red dot on any of these, you have found a new pet from that category, so go there and click the new pets to collection diamonds.  The number of diamonds goes up based on the rank of the pet.  So, again, there is a lot to do here, and a lot of things to find and collect.

The Mounts area is similar.  

    

First you see the stats of your current mount, click through to the main page which has buttons at the bottom for Mount Exploration and Mount Taming. 

Mount Taming shows a variety of mounts and you use whip items to tame them (which is a bit mean).  Each mount has three stats -- HP, ATK, DEF -- which vary slightly and these low-level first mounts have +2% to +4% bonuses.  You can get higher-tier mounts to choose from by using the Advanced Seek button for 50 diamonds (next time it's 60), there I got a purple "Calm Warhorse" with +8% bonuses for 20 whips, and it was handy being able to buy the whips with in-game diamonds instead of real money.  Taming them adds them to your list, which has extra unlockable slots, of course. 

Once you have a mount, go to Mount Exploration at let your mounts accumulate forage at some number of points per hour (it's 8/H for my first mounts).  This shows as "Current Rewards" at the bottom of the screen.  Take that reward and use the forage points to upgrade your mount.  To get to level 2 took 5 steps at 5 forage each.  To get to level 3 is five steps at 20 forage each.  It looks like Growth Stage 2 is the Max Level for my Sturdy Yellow mount.  My purple coded mount gets forage at 15/H.

Task 109 is also "Reach Level 45", which is either a bug or a freebie.  The Other:Assistant has unlocked so the next task is "send out Assistant 1 time".

The Assistant window has these buttons: Investigation, Deployment (unlocks at task 110), Trade and Management.  Click Investigation to see a list of places, put assistants in the grid, and click on and click Start, and they will go out exploring, return time 8 hours.  You get 50 knight tokens for that.

 

8 hours later: I get a red dot saying my explorer found something.  I was not expecting a few text-based story options here, but a modal window said I found something, and did I want to go down the ladder?  Sure.  But then, I needed Composure3 for option 1, Observation2 for option 2, and could only return the way I came.  Oh, the rope broke and I fell back down the well.  Wander around: did not find the monster, had to return to the surface.  Event reward: 68 chests and 2 speed up tickets, and now Oak Village is 10% explored.  The developer threw a little of everything in here.

On to task 11: level 5 treasure chest.  Done.  Then task 112 is Reach Level 50, argh, another 600 clicks.  World Boss 4 unlocked at level 45 but is too strong for me (by a hair) right now.

#

I poked at the chest while watching some MrBallen videos, and got to level 50 (task 112), so the Dungeons: Trial Tower unlocked.  It's a series of fight with other players to see who can reach the highest rung of the ladder.  There are rankings, and rewards based on your final rank.  You earn trial coins along the way, and there's a Shop page where you can potentially spend them on useful things for other sections of the game.

Now task 113 is "Reach Level 54", 500 more clicks...

Note to self: this weekend, I should try and organize these posts into more of an organized tutorial.

Idle Planet Miner: Selling Your Galaxy

Image
Back in Idle Planet Miner, production was starting to bog down, with crafts taking an hour apiece, and sometimes needing hundreds of items to unlock new research.  So, I figured it would be a good time to test out their "Sell Your Planet" feature, which has so many people online asking questions. These idle games can't level up through an infinite many items, so they all have this same kind of game reset mechanism.  In Idle Planet Miner, the Sell Galaxy button shows you the value of your galaxy and how many credits you will get for it.  These credits are a kind of meta currency, letting you buy new rooms for your ships, with each new room offering a different game boost.  Clicking the Sell button will show you exactly what you will lose: all planets, cash, ores, alloys, items, research.  Which sounds terrible.  But you get to keep your dark matter, your managers, your beacon buffs (though you will have to research the Beacon again to get it back on screen),...

Ancient Games Book

Image
I had a former coworker contact me to say her mom had a weird book of old games, so we met up, and it turned out to be the classic Irving Finkel "Ancient Board Games" produced by the British Museum.  Dr. Finkel is a leading expert on ancient board games, and the book covers four classics: Senet, Mehen, Hounds an Jackals and the Royal Game of Ur.  The Royal Game of Ur is one of our favorites from this era, and was one of the first games I covered in this blog series.  I was familiar with the others, but never had a decent board to play on. The book comes with a little plastic tray with four throwing sticks and 8 playing pieces for each of two colors.  In each set, one piece is larger than the others, being the "lion" in the Mehen game. After dabbling with these games for about 45 minutes, we kept having problems picking up the perfectly smooth throwing sticks, and there was no clear distinction between the flat side and rounded side, aside from the subtle shape. ...

Hounds and Jackals

Image
Continuing with the book of ancient board games, the Hounds and Jackal board is gorgeous.  Every painted crack or chip in the supposedly wooden surface added character.  The original artifacts had holes in the board, and the pieces were little carvings of hounds and jackals on pegs.  Moving chips around the board was good enough to get the feel of it.  It's a simple race game, trying to get your pieces to the top of tree and off the board first.  There were no tricky rules for the throwing sticks.  You roll, you move. Since there were a few spaces with "slides", it's hard to not feel like you're playing a scaled down Snakes & Ladders game.  Some of these game ideas really do span most of human history.  There are also a few spaces with a little cross on them, where you roll again if you land there. The game was simple, and only took about 10 minutes.  This one had the most interesting set of variations discussed on the back page, since di...
