I've gone from level 10 to level 21 in about 20 minutes, and it only took that long because Mystic Orb was very low level when I started out. I'm now levelling every 3 visits, taking just over a minute per level. When it takes 4 visits to level, it'll take as long as a minute and a half per level.

I used the same exact strategy, it makes the game way easier leveling up early too. Good luck with the game!

Not the most exciting way to play the game, but possibly the most efficient time-wise. Also, Hill-top level 8 is great for farming because of the Revivers. You also get experience when a revived enemy dies, so you can just keep killing them over and over, picking up their drops and getting experience each time until your Mystic Orb kills the Revivers, and then do it all over again. Really fast money earning and dragon growth there.

Ya I found that Wylo's "best way to gain experience" levels aren't that accurate. Doing mini-bosses and redoing bosses seems to be the most efficient way to gain experience fast. Although Shrum runs are the best way for later levels on Hard Mode definitely.

I might be the only person who's going to legitimately get the full grown dragon before beating Goliath. How much health do I need to get him to?

600

Can you make a video of it? I have no idea how I should split the scorpions with hundreds of skeletons behind my ass.

I have my first final today from 2-4.. Maybe after though? It'll be the first video I've ever made for a game, but it won't be that accurate because I'm a Level 49 now and I was probably like a 36 or 37 back then.. Not to mention I just beat the game, so I start all the way back at Camp Site Level 1.. We'll see though. What video recording software do you suggest I use if I do it?

What you should do first is immediately run down and to the left at the start, if you're lucky your mage won't die right away too, because despite popular belief she actually isn't that weak and will help speed things up by like 30%. Use a weapon with knockback so you keep pushing back the skeletons and giants into walls or obstacles (staying at a good distance so they don't hit you but you keep hitting them back into the wall.. or if they even hit you it doesn't matter cause they'll freeze and you'll have regen all the way upgraded by then and hopefully some weapons with health steal).

For scorpions just keep their shots diverted away from your team and only aimed at you. If you're good at maneuvering around without drawing too many enemies for you to handle onto the screen, the best way to take care of scorpions (and everyone actually) is to get them trapped between you and your dragon, where you two will continuously be knocking them back and forth for major damage and sometimes this causes them to even glitch and not attack cause they get thrown around so much.

Chances are your mage will die cause she's stupid and follows literally right behind you most of the time and scorpions kill her pretty damn fast. If you're patient and want to play it really safe you can lure a few guys into a group at the edge of your screen (after the initial battle when you run down and left to get away from everything) and let your dragon just fire away at them for awhile.

I'll let you know if I decide to make a video for it tonight, but I have another final tomorrow and one I have to take by Friday so the video might not come until this weekend. Again, it will look way easier on mine though because of my high level and magic stats, but the basic principals for the level remain the same, just I'll have more health, take less damage, and do more damage. So play it safe and run when you or your teammates need to to regenerate health and use the enemies off-screen "no movement" to your advantage.

===Dragon Boy===

Just got Merlin's Apprentice at Level 49 with the following magic stats:
Nova: 10
Frozen Armor: 8 (Last point I put in)
Regenerate: 10
Mystic Orb: 10
Cast Rate: 10

So that was weird.. I thought I'd have to be level 50.. and even if I was a level 50.. It still wouldn't be maxed out magic stats.. anyways.. off to beat the game! :D

That's like the slowest way possible.. Unless you upgraded Mystic Orb & Cast Rate all the way up first.. Haha that would take SOOO long though for sooo many levels.

Yeah, let's see you say the same thing once you get to the Blob Bonanza level on Hard Mode and you start with 8 blobs within inches of you, and about 7 more off-screen.
I can't wait until you get there. :D

... I was at The King on Hard mode when I wrote that.. I just haven't beaten it yet for the Magic Stats. I haven't died a single time on Hard Mode with the exception of a few messy Shrum runs when I first started doing them. I love this game, but it's not really that challenging though if you take the time to play it safe when you need to. And Oh Snap is easy as hell, just divert the scorpion's attacks towards you and not you and your party, take down 1 scorpion at a time by running around and luring enemies where you want them to be, either on screen or off screen, and it turns out to be just a really repetitive game on Hard Mode, yet still incredibly entertaining.

Did you really think I was a level 43 and still hadn't beaten Blob Bonanza?? I started Hard Mode as a level 31..

Also how does krevs have 24100? Where does he have 110 points that I don't? I thought this "removing medals thing" was supposed to get rid of broken medals adding to your score. ie shift 4

According to ng logs, she has two medals that I don't and 85 points ahead...

How the hell is that? 50 point and 35 point medal? Does that even exist?

That sucks. Also, Dragon Boy is AWESOME. Finally started playing it today, and I've gotten every medal save for the Beat Hard Mode and Max Your Magic medals. Currently a level 43, and haven't had a single problem with a single level yet.. I think everyone who died playing some of these levels and couldn't get past them just doesn't know how to maneuver around to challenge certain enemies 1 on 1 or in groups that work so you'll stay alive.

I was merely leading pow to believe that story and I later added that I was only kidding. There is no such thing as a special helmet needed to beat any boss. I mean it was such a bad lie that anybody with half a brain could see through that. . . Or so i thought.

Haha I have yet to play the game and that's not something completely unbelievable.. having to have a specific specific piece of gear equipped to beat a boss? That's very feasible and would actually be smart and tricky if the author decided to throw something in the game like that with a small tip.

I believe someone said you had to be wearing the Helmet that has it's name written in blue letters or something equipped, otherwise it will just keep growing until you die.

meh, screw it, i didn't know that, but what matters is that i got three medals from it. it's my personal challenge.
but, for some reason...THE MEDALS ARE COUNTING. yeah, i don't know why or how, they just are. i got 80 pts. from them. weird. maybe it's because the new system still has some flaws...
should i PM PsychoGoldfish?

If you want to be honest I'd say ya PM him. Maybe the transfer that they did the other day took away points for everyone who already had them, but if you were to achieve them after that major update then maybe the points still count towards your total count. Although, I think at the end of the week when they update it (didn't PG say they'd be like re-updating everyone's medals once a week?) those will be removed from your total points. I think. Haha

Easiest to just make your own custom map. Get 2 medals in one throw. Just make like 4 or 5 rows of the dirt plants that are only 2 blocks in length and space each row out by 3 blocks each. Voila.

===Revert To Growth===

Returning Home medal has now been fixed. All medals in Revert To Growth work now, they just don't pop up in game.

Sorry, I should have added that if someone without any of the medals could go through the game and get 19 keys and beat the 20th level without getting the last key and let me know if they get this medal or not it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know! Sorry for the double post guys.. I really hate doing that..

Hrrrmmmm.. maybe I have to clear my data because I've already gotten all the medals in the game. I'll give it a shot later when I have time. Glad to know the author got the medal API to work with the game though! As for Dragon Boy I know nothing about it and probably won't play it until this weekend. Hope it's fun though!

I don't think the author has patched the game back up with the medal API and submitted it so the medals are still unattainable. The medal indicators on the game's page were probably accidentally thrown back up there because of the update. I still suggest people play the game anyways because it is a LOT of fun!

You need to learn how to let go, and how to cope with situations.

Oh wait nevermind, you are 19 and had a case for a DUI recently. Disregard everything I said since it won't do any good.

You're an idiot. Complaining about medals isn't the point of the thread. Learning things about medals is. Enough people have complained, one more post complaining won't help. jmalouin7 & FurryFox have actually contributed something by figuring out some of the medals that were removed, everything else on here so far is... well let's see.. how would you put it again?

Nah I wasn't sorry that was my bad. I just read through the past like 3 pages really fast and for some reason thought there were more screen shots than there actually were so sorry for that. But I AM sick, however, of people complaining that the medals are missing and blah blah blah.

It's good and productive to research and test to see which medals are missing and update us with your findings. That's cool and I like that. Ranting about missing medals is useless. I PMed PG asking very calmly and nicely to respond, even with only a brief answer, of what was going on because all of you are going crazy it would seem. And by all of you I mean half of the usuals on this thread and pretty much every rando who stops in every now and then. So just chill out guys.. They're just medals.

I think everyone should just shut the fuck up and wait at least a day before freaking out. We already know what games and medals got removed, so just CHILL.

We don't need random "WHAT THE FUCKKCKCK?" or "WHERE IS MAH MEDALS PLEZ?" posts coming up and I'm pretty damn sure no one gives a shit about the screen shots any of you are taking anymore. We get it. They're doing work. Just shut up and let them do it without freaking out for fuck's sake.

I'm sure someone will let us know what's going on soon, and if they don't it doesn't matter because we have no say in what happens anyways. So just take it easy and go back to your normal lives while there aren't any new games to play and the admins work.

Got it?

Speaking of old games.. I love how PsyFlash can get his medal indicators removed from the Revert To Growth's page in less than an hour.. but Weasel has yet to get his medal indicators back up for Hover Bot Arena 2 and it's been how long..?

I seriously don't understand how there can be so many small problems that never get fixed but some of the bigger problems get fixed pretty damn fast.
