A rare Hospital boost artifact was 8%. There were a few hours on 16/8 when it became 800%. Afterwards it went back to 8% again. If you were online during those few hours, you would see that your rare Hospital boost artifact giving you a 800% boost.
1 for me as well. Took me about 6 months to get there (I'm not paying for anything, either in coins or dollars). Looks like the second ascension will be about half the time. But I'm also playing most of the hardened levels as well.
@Gincompetent You'll probably find that it's more than 2x the speed, then again, maybe I shouldn't speak so quickly b/c the new wave of players seem to be extremely fast (Xeno, functor) so if you're in that crowd, would be difficult to go beyond 2x of what is already very quick speed.

It'll probably be the last time that I do a "proper" ascension, as in completing all/most levels before ascending. From now on I'll probably just do Europe Huge and a few hardened levels between each ascension, skipping most levels. While the small levels have a good AP per level time value, they have a pretty bad value of AP per attention/effort needed. With a limited spare time in real life, I'm going to focus more on hardened levels and long levels, which has a lot more idle time and AP, but not a lot more attention needed.
