Chest Hero Part 5 - Artifacts and Wings

Your Wings can be upgraded and then tiered up, by spending gold and white feathers.  Beyond that there is a screen to Empower them, which I will have to explore more when I have more components to tinker with.

By the way, the main chest pulsates once for each tier of item it's about to uncover.  If it opens right away, it will be Ordinary.  A second pulse means it's Uncommon, and so on.

Level 53 to 54 takes 780 xp.  At this point I can go 15 to 30 picks without needing any of the items.

Level 54 (clicked a lot during lunch break).  

Task 114: accumulate chest upgrades 10 times.
Task 115: accumulate chest upgrades 17 times.
Task 116: accumulate chest upgrades 18 times.
Task 117: accumulate chest upgrades 19 times.
Task 118: accumulate chest upgrades 20 times.
Task 119: reach level 58.

That's an odd progression.  Skip 7, then 4 steps of trivial actions (already done), then 700 more clicks needed.

I was wondering what the tiers above Legendary are, since I finally got one of those.  The ranking of items is such a constant across game apps.  Here they are for Chest Hero:

Ordinary (light gray)
Uncommon (green)
Excellent (violet blue)
Rare (purple)
Epic (yellow)
Legendary (orange)
Mythic (salmon)
Perfect (light blue)
Immortal (pink).  

Chest level 8 costs 5 permits at 14000 gold each.  Wow, in the whole run up to level 55 (805 xp = roughly 160 clicks), there were only 3 items that counted as upgrades.

I can't see continuing this game for months, but I do want to get to task 130 to unlock most of the basic features, so I can describe those and look for more hidden gem development ideas like those mini games.

I tapped more during an online meeting, then ...
Task 120: reach level 60.  Level 59 needs 910 xp, 180 clicks.  Grr.  Level 60 needs 935 xp.

It's funny that the developers realized you could get into such a zombie mode clicking the bottom left corner of the chest and hitting the Sell button without moving that they added a modal to let you know when an item is NOT throwaway junk.

Level 6, artifacts unlocked.  Task 121: Draw 1 Artifact.

The Artifact main page is a grid of artifacts with a green Draw button and an Auto Draw checkbox.  You get 3 free draws at first, and it cycles through the grid a bit like a slot machine.  After the free draws it take 10 Artifact Energy to draw another.  Click one of the items you found and click Activate and Equip to put it to use.

Task 122: Draw 3 Artifacts
Task 123: upgrade to Chest Level 6
Task 124: Reach Level 65.  This is the big one that unlocks Fishing and Dungeons: Treasure Hunt.

Sep 16: I got through Task 124 finally, after which there are a bunch of tasks about chest upgrades then Task 140: Reach level 70.  This also unlocked the Treasure Hunt Journey, shown here:

This section looks good at first, just roll the die and move around the board getting stuff.  But it costs a lot of gold to just roll the die once, and there seems to be a daily limit.  While there are some nice prizes listed, my first time around the board, all I got were more chests.  This feature was underwhelming.

Empires & Puzzles: End of Season 5

Image
I finished Season 5 (Egypt).  The last battle was impressive, with Set starting at about 18K HP with the usual minions, after which he becomes a titan battle with about 60KHP, and as that was winding down with my guys getting very weak, he came back as a regular battle with anoth 13KHP.  I think I did the 75 gems to buy a second chance, but it was a good end-of-season adventure with some surprises. A few nights back, I got an event summons and came up with Heimdall, that really difficult opponent who blows his horn and heals allies above their normal max HP, AND can reincarnate fallen allies.  Now he's on my team 6, and I'm training him up to help with the alliance wars. Last night I got a few event summons again, and bought a few more for $5.99.  Got some new ones: lemur construct, treevil, and a bunch of really odd characters.  I later got 3 summons from coins at the end of the event and got two different gnomes and some kind of magical flamingo.  Heck, 500 coins fo

Peace by Peace: Succulents

Image
We got Peace by Peace: Succulents a few weeks back at the Toy Box in San Clemente, CA on the way back from a weekend trip.  I also got the cactus-themed game "What's the Point" in that same batch, so it was an odd pair.  Two of the types of plants I used to grow back when I had space to grow things. Anyway, Peace by Peace is not really a game, it's a series of 50 puzzles.  There is a set of 45 triangle-shaped tiles with colored leaf patterns in each corner, then a set of 50 cards giving puzzles to be solved.  Each card list which numbered tiles to use and shows a few starting cards by their number, but not what position they're in, followed by some empty spaces and possibly the colors of a few other corners. The challenge is to work out how to complete the pattern using the tiles available.  It's a bit annoying finding those tiles to setup the puzzles, but we settled on stacking them in piles of 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40-45.  Then we could easily find wh

Idle Planet Miner - Debris Fields

Image
I finally completed research for the debris field in Idle Planet Miner.  It only took about a full month of what little time I have to fiddle with it daily. Yes, the debris fields are automatically harvested, just like the asteroids.  I have seen two debris fields appear so far.  One gave me a satellite dish and the other gave 71 basic computers.  So they are pretty much exactly what I was expecting: a source of random items. Here is one I caught in a screenshot... I added the white box so you can see it better.  They are gone in about 5 seconds like the asteroids so you might not see them most of the time.  I suddenly have 60 advanced computers, 700 lasers and a ton of other things.  Now I need 5 more nuclear reactors and 92 scrith alloy for the only other research available: superior asteroid harvester, another x1.3 value bonus.  I guess I can also do Advanced Leader for 8 more motors, 8 telescopes and 111 scrith alloy. I also made it to planet 43, the $6.2q investment, the first one
