What does this "best hero will be leveled beyond 8,000" mean? Secondly, when you have only few souls to spend the predicted cost is accurate as far as the cost formulae go there appear to be some issues in-game where an ancient sometimes costs one soul less or more than it should. Only the predicted cost becomes more accurate. This approximation is accurate enough to yield very good recommendations calculating it precisely often does not actually make a difference in regard to the number of levels recommended. After buying the recommended ancients, why do I have more souls left over than the calculator predicts?įirstly, when you have many souls to spend the calculator will over-estimate the cost of a few ancients with a "difficult" cost formula. This means that one level in Morgulis costs less than one soul when buying in bulk. If you have the outsider Chor'gorloth leveled, all ancients become cheaper, including Morgulis. Why does the calculator tell me to level Morgulis more than I am able to? Paste the number you just copied into this field, and press "Ok". If you hold "v" when clicking on the corresponding ancient's purchase button, an input field will pop up. If you press on the number in the change field, the number changes to a long format and is automatically selected for copying. Sorry this isn't quite the answer you were looking for.What is the easiest method to level ancients? You also might consider switching your calculator to Hybrid, and using the Nogfish trick, which is taking all your clickers off everything, waiting for your idle bonus to kick in, then clicking the orange fish, netting a huge gold spike.
Someone might be interested enough to figure it out, or know someone who calculated it for their own satisfaction without ever bothering to post it. You might consider visiting the Clicker Heroes Subreddit, specifically in the Monthly Help megathread. In either case, calculating the exact amount of gold you'd get is unnecessary. And by the time you're regularly using TimeLapses, you're doing it to skip zones on your LABT, and the gold isn't really a concern. As long as the gold gets you to Frostleaf 50+, you can get to 130, the last guaranteed primal boss and an ideal zone to ascend. Disclaimers aside, most players only bother with Merc gold quests during their FANTs, to be used right before respecing all HS into Solomon at zone 104. It also isn't wrong or bad, and anyone who tries to make you feel bad for playing any (solo) game the way you want can sod off.
The people who are both smart enough and dedicated to CH enough to figure these things out are also primarily concerned with efficiency, and introducing idle ancients into a full active playstyle to sporadically collect Merc Gold quests to push deeper into an run you almost certainly should have already Ascended out of isn't efficient. And that's not because it's a particularly difficult problem, it's because it really doesn't matter in efficient play. To the best of my knowledge, no one had figured out the exact equation. But it also isn't perfect, because it applies idle bonuses to that total even if you would need to be active to do any damage whatsoever. That takes into account your current DPS and what gold ancients you have. Merc gold sure seems to be based on your Timelapse gold, which is based on how much gold you'd get in 8 hours of farming your HZE in a given Ascension. The wikia page didn't provided much info either. I wrote these out of memory, exact gold amount may not be correct, but the actual differences between them are.
