The consensus seems to be to take Transcendence to get from TT10 to 14. That’s what I did 2yrs ago, getting close to TT24 now. In the late game Compendia seem the way to go, to boost your science to insane levels. Which sounds nice, but I don’t have enough Chronospheres for that yet. Last year I was in a strange game state because of a true 40k run, so I picked burned paragon. Due to limited time to play actively, that run is still ongoing (true year 56442 atm :D), but I plan to reset soonish.
So, my question now is: What’s the best mid-game pick? I’m considering:
Everything else seems irrelevant (e.g. +2k TC, when I have many tens of millions) or impossible (e.g. Metaphysics, which are already unlocked). Unless there is some obvious choice I’m overlooking.
It’s that time of year where I once again forget where to go to open up the present, and completely forget what was in them. I also don’t really remember getting to choose what was in them, aren’t they sort of based on where you are in the game?
You can’t open it until after Eldermass, which means not until something like a week into January. What you get is based on where you are in the game, but you can control that somewhat. E.g., if you are at max Leviathenergy then you get the gift of burned paragon; so if that seems like a good idea to you, you can wait until your next relic run and open the present at some point when that’s the case; if not, you can open the present at a time when it isn’t the case.
Yeah it is interesting, I finally checked out the wiki page. I must have always been in the middle or end of a run, so always get burned paragon as far as I recall, except I do remember doing the 4* compendia one time. Looks like if you reset and are careful then you can get pretty much any of the options. None of the others look all that great though.
