70th super +1200%ap, 24 slots

gg krinid. Now it's time to wait for your return so you can get 134k Start AP

krinid.. how long does a super ascend take with the item digging finished?

One more Sasc for me. 6 slots IAV IACB ITW LSAC IIM IAC

IAC? Insane Army Cache? Why?

I meant insane army camp. How do I distinguish it from insane army cache boost

ACampB/ACacheB is what people normally do.

That’s too many letters bro

71st super +1200%ap, 24 slots, 1 dig speed

Wow, there's boosts other then AP and slots?

Yeah seeing that I have almost as much +ap as krinid, and runs aren't really getting any faster I decided to try something else.

How about a few +100AP runs, to speed up early levels?

I am going to try some of those. Each 100 starting ap only speeds up the first eight levels after the Tutorial. With my best run times they only take 5 hours, so not too much time to be saved.

At +1200% AP, an incremental +25% AP is worth an incremental 653AP before you get to Phase 4 and an incremental 2576AP over the course of a full super ascension. This is *much* more than the +100AP gives you.

I do appreciate that you get the first couple advancements faster but it’s almost impossible to justify +100 AP. The breakeven is just astoundingly far into the future even for Ivan0.

@drillerk, can definitely do a SAsc in less than a day, maybe even a couple if dedicated, but you have to play a lot

I prefer to be lazy and let my actives do the work

@TheGreatLeon, The +100 AP is only useful en masse. After ~50 +25% AP buffs, you get to a point where you don't need AP from finishing levels, you have plenty, so it's more a matter of getting more buffs that will help you clear the levels which get you the AP you need to SASc again. This is arti slots & +100 AP, but as you've pointed out, +100 AP on its own is useless, you need thousands to have any efficacy. Imho, you need at least ~1500 starting AP so you can at least have some level of additional mercs, JS, money cache, alloy sell values, merc discount & AQ, then bring on any level and I'm good. But I've leveled it up to ~11K (I forget exactly, it only shows at start after SAsc'ing again) when gets me maxed out Money Cache, Merc Discount, Alloy Values, JS, 5% AQ, 100% Add Mercs, and this makes getting started quite easy

But more notably ... you also get to a point where you don't need +25% AP buffs, extra arti slots nor extra digging speed, so either you invest in +100 AP, just stop SAsc'ing or you quit Idle, those are really the only options
