Chillhouz ascends for a 22nd time! 400% AP 8 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB

I am starting to hit a place where I can get to phase 3 by Japan. From there I skip to far land and then do hardened far land which gets me enough AP to jump to scandi and from there I jump to EH and once I beat that I either skip level or suck it up and do plateau assault and then do hex earth twice for a SAsc.

The question I have for my heavy hitters out there is…when should one start picking the 100 AP bonus? I feel like I’m not there yet but I’m also at a point where the AP I have is not going to make a huge difference. Am I wrong?

At about +1000%AP

1000 times or 10X is where the discussion landed last time with Ivan's input from what I recall.

It's going to be very slow after you super ascend (I'm assuming first super ascend, correct me if wrong), it will take you a few months to get up to speed and start using market strat again. The usual route for getting to hex is to complete Europe huge, get the advancement CSL 6 (6 skip levels, phase 3 advancement), and then use a superpower skip level. This will allow you to skip to Hex.

I *think* that auto dig takes the cheapest dig. But it shouldn't be an issue, as the expected artifact value per hour is all the same for all the digs.
