FINALLY. I was impatient and just bought the bobbleheads instead. ~400 million, hopefully it does something for my battling haha.

Also...

Current Tier: 10

Next tier in 340 points

VERY CLOSE!

Congrats so much that is very awesome!

Happy Morning y'all :)

You Won! You have defeated Crithbolcan Tziety earned 3500 EXP Points!

BQ done; 09/30 days ^_^

Congrats!! Also I love your HA.

Congrats on getting a Trident. Getting closer to T10.

You Won! You have defeated Unstable Snow Fairy You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop! Kuuipo earned 3500 EXP Points! BQs done. 8/30.

[edit] Plane Maintenance Manual has been read to Kuuipo! Kuuipo says, "I've read better..." Your pet has gained an alchemy point!

Ooh, congrats on the trident!!! It's been my trusty primary weapon since I was T8 (2 yrs ago, when I was able to get my own.)

So I was doing some math (which is never a good idea...) T13 is 22k stats, right? Well, I'm a T11 with 10.3k stats. So, 11.7k stats until I hit T13? (Jesus, how am I not even half way?!)

Right now, I can't get to lvl 30 in my BQs consistently, so I'm averaging a stat gain of about 15 (excluding level, including TC) a day. Once I'm able to hit 30, it'll be closer to maybe ~19 a day. With those figures, relying on BQs solely, I'm looking at a timeline of 1.7-2.1 yrs for T13. That's gross.

But we can also factor in Friendly/Throwback/etc Thursday challengers! Also event challengers! And already-unlocked opponents in the BC I haven't been able to win against yet (ie, Prodigy.) Optimistically, maybe we're at 1.5 yrs or something. (I'm hand waving here.)

Now, I still found this to be annoyingly long, which had me looking at my bank account. (This is why no good can come from math.) I have only 6 Cash Shop challengers unlocked (Forj x3, Meatslab x3, +4 misc challengers.) That leaves 58 other challengers open to me, if I spent the CSC... Thanks to Laurey's helpful guide, I tallied the opponents. For a low, low cost of only 14,500 CSC, I can be the proud new owner of every Cash Shop challenger! (750 less, if you assume I unlock Mad Scientist via every 2013 challenger.)

Now, I dunno about the rest of you, but I don't have 14k CSC. :/ Alas. Of course, this is a problem for November-me anyway, given these items don't come back until the Black Friday sale (and they aren't even on sale!!!)

Okay, I need to stop. Lemme just do my daily BQs and cry inside a little bit.

For future me, here's the list for reference:

For everyone who was talking to me earlyer, I got told today I can continue battling Mad Scientist while the issue with the Achivment is being worked on. I'll just have to let her know of any wins I get.

Chums reached T12 in mid-August mast year. Even with cash shop challengers, Thursday freebies, and event/holiday challengers it's still going to take until early October/late September for it to reach T13 just with the challenger and BQ experience. It's a bit demoralizing, but long term goal is long term goal.

Sylvanus 1 / 2471

Mad Scientist 0 / 12675

o_o That was very close.

Whelp. Missed the end of the masquerade, missed beating up the hydras. Just been too busy the past three weeks. Haven't had a moment of free time to do any extra things outside of plans and necessities,

Eeek at the price but yay trident! Congrats and have fun with your new shiny toy!

It goes by quicker than you think! I turned T12 in Nov 2016 and it only took me to December of 2017 to get to T13. So it took about a year and that was with using 0 boosters, only training and battle experience to gain stats.

What you are not taking into account is that you can beat more opponents once you are T12 and will gain more experience. I did not have a lot of the T11/T12 weapons I do now so my first pet also struggled until T12. Who is giving you a hard time? I am assuming prodigy and he is tough without a water blocker like SoSS and MW. Still, a newly turned T12 with Natasha and I used sierrac flail can get to 5 wins. Prodigy’s eyeball exists now, but it’s won from prodigy. That is another good water blocking alternative before you win MW. Stuff like the paint brush blades will also help immensely until you can buy/ win better equipment. Wins won’t come easily, you’ll take losses, but they’re obtainable.

--; and can't get past my last win....darn parched blessings keep falling off at the wrong time OR they don't show up until it's too late....ugh.

Is there anything to increase the chances of Blessings taking effect other then better crystals ( I think I have the Baguettes or whatever the bigger ones are called) or do I just need to get to keep trying? :/

Congratulations to you both! :D

A combination of modding more slots and using baguettes will help. I think each baguette has a 10% chance of activation per turn, so depending on your weapons you could have as many as eight 10% rolls for the blessing every turn.

Yeah, I think saying a year between T12 and T13 is a pretty safe assessment. I looked at Kevin's Wuf, and he took 10 months between the two stages. I'm starting to eye some of the big purchase weapons, so I assume as soon as I'm able to save, that'll help a ton. I use the Trident and the PBB as my go-to primary weapons, and they help me through most. As for BQs- Chase and Crawbeast are still giving me problems, so they often prevent me from even seeing lvl 30. (And then yeah, Prodigy.)

Also, I made a suggestion topic regarding un-retiring monthly CS challengers (similar to Donation Presents). Would love input! Un-retire old CS battle challengers by month

Just keep up with your BQs! They help more than you know. 1.5 years between T11 and T13 is not unusual; I'm on about the same track with Batpod.

Unfortunately, battling does require a huge investment. You're a lot farther along than most people ever attempt, so please try to take consolation in that <3

Oh yes! I'm proud that I've managed to reach this far! Mostly, I'm just slightly grumpy after finally taking a look at the math and time. :P I have 60 tomes waiting for me already, and I have to wait another 1.5 yrs to crack them open! :grumble: :grumble: :D I'll continue to try to be active, and improve. I think I've got at least a 6 month streak of doing my BQs too (thanks to finally joining the ping group), so that really helps!

Alright, I'll take a look at my set, see if I can fit any more baguettes in and see if I have any more. If not then it's a excuse to beat up Mid Tier Forji some more.

_< Otherwise I guess my pet needs more stats and maybe a better weapon after all.

For Chase, I would give this a try: Mod up with as many Blessing of Natural Armor Tear Crystals as you can, that will be your best defense against the stealing.

Which scrolls do you have?

Crawbeast isn't as difficult as he looks, you just need strong water and dark blockers. Prodigy is definitely as difficult as he looks :P

As for scrolls, I have my infinite Aftershocks. Freezing SoD x2, Psycho Smasher, Cold Blast. And Cobalt Eternal x4. If I need some additional freezing elements, I swap out my CE's in favor of Perilous Whirlpools and Gelspell. I wish I had a GotF, but I haven't had much luck with Forj yet. (Though, I haven't tried in a while.)
