Long Term Strategy

What is an average level to be at when you finish Egypt? I mean typically what are you guys experiencing?

Seele

pixel_player68067425 , I can speak only for me, I was level 92 when I left Egipt. I've tried to stay in Egipt to clear more slots from my grid but, the materials were insufficient for what I need and the equipment available in shop for my level and region didn't worth any material or gems. I always read the opinions of the players here and search wiki about Scandinavia. I've prepared the materials needed for capacity items that were locked for me in Egipt(ametists from the events were really useful), events were also useful for the regeneration items, better than the ones that you can find in shop everyday. The last event in Egipt was the community event, segmented, of course.. when I saw that took me less than 24 hours to complete the event without "eating" my food, I knew that was nothing left in Egipt for me so, I've finished the last mission and passed to Scandinavia. There was a good advice here on forum from a player: be ready for the limited offer when you move to Scandinavia, so I bought it(it was much better that what you can find on wiki for the same price). So, after three days, I can say that is better to struggle a little in Scandinavia, that being bored in Egipt. Only around 20000 capacity/night and 3360 regeneration/hour during the day is a little tricky for the big mines in the main map but in a couple of weeks it will be better. Now I'm level 94 and on my way to finish the 6'th mission in Scandinavia main map and still doing the repeatable mines from Egipt.

Gratz, well done.
That's what we did as well and around that level.
Egypt events was just too easy so we pushed for Scandinavia like you did to get better items.

We bought the gem cart and then went for the others.

Choose which type of equipment you want to look at.
It has the equipment listed in HEIGHT and you can see per slot the value.
Different carts are all 3 high i think, look in that section to see what materials you need to save.

Didn't use any food until some event and since hardly used any.
Just stockpiling it for some extreme situation, it's over 4.8 million now.
The new repeatables will open on/after the 7th quest.

Seele thank you so much for the in depth post. Appreciate it. I let the game get the better of me and spent $1000's. You can't imagine how stupid I feel. Well, thanks again.

Seele Only around 20000 capacity/night and 3360 regeneration/hour during the day is a little tricky for the big mines in the main map but in a couple of weeks it will be better. Now I'm level 94 and on my way to finish the 6'th mission in Scandinavia main map and still doing the repeatable mines from Egipt.

After two months: , lvl.140, 10034/hour daytime, around 45k capacity/night, in 8 hours. No problems in Scandi now, money spent with Christmas 2015 were the best spent ingame, very good regeneration and capacity items. Also, done the events except Pink Puma, I preffered to go on in Scandi, I'm finishing Bragi right now. I have only one cart to buy, I've eaten a lot of coal doing bronze and iron, still 2000 to gain. I don't think is too early to check what I will need in China for food or items, buying pillars only from materials that will be useless further. I want to do Magisterium now, for the outfit and, maybe, once more Christmas 2015 for the capacity items and some regeneration items, but I need more coins, the christmas equipment left me broke 😃.
P.S.: i'm not a rusher 🙂. I don't compete with anyone, I just enjoy the game so, I preffer to clear everything.

gamemaster I have recently stopped using cooked food and started storing it. So I basically store my cooked food until an event starts then I can use my stored food tae make sure I finish the event to get full benefit and buy the best equipment (I don’t buy anything until I finish the event, that way I calculate what is best). I am in the last stages of Scandinavia and only have 5 more slots tae Clear for placing equipment. I use the night switch but more often than not despite double checking that I leave the game in night mode discover that somehow it has “magically” switched back tae day mode while I slept (I have even tried switching tae night mode and continued playing for a few thousand energy but hey gremlins must be switching it back). I can’t imagine have 4.8 mil food lol the most I have ever stored is 120,000 I play on my iPad and use Puffin so I can access neighbours etc (I do have laptops but find I can play on iPad and watch TV at same time a lot easier) as I am retired I spend nearly all my waking hours playing games.

gamemaster I don’t have facebook, either. When we get a different neighbor system I am looking you up first, because I am glad not to be the only one plugging along solo 😁

What is the 22,000 energy tile?

gamemaster

Kittylover

Never use gems to buy energy. Only use gems for equipment.

bonjour moi je suis coincée dans la taverne joyeux!! je n 'arrive pas a placer les boules comment fais ton merci si tu peux me montrer !!

This is a stupid question - i should remember from previous regions. When you reach a certain point, does the next region automatically open, or do you have to do something conciously to open it?

I am approaching the end of the Atlantis quests (will get Hyperion's dark side when I get up tomorrow morning), but don't want to find myself bumped up into Greece.

The Wiki says ;
To get to Atlantis you need to complete all main, god's, and fathers quests in China. As with each step up in region, the tiles are significantly more energy intensive than the ones in the previous region.

However, there is no corresponding entry for getting to Greece. Can I assume it's the same?

gamemaster

The last step over into the next region is always, so far as i have seen, with the last Father's quest.
Looking here
http://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Atlantis(Quests)
You would need to get to the end of the last god and then would do quest/s in the Father's line to go to the next region.
Note that last Father's quest listed is Mysterious Depths in the mine Mariana Trench.
As long as you don't do that quest you should not get to Greece.
I have noted some time ago that the rest of the list is incomplete and Greece has far less listed.
Thus the lack of videos for all those mines in both regions.
Having said that if we look in here
http://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Story_Mines-_Atlantis
it does list all the mines and the one you're in is the last for Hyperion.
Now i see the mine stated for Father is not the end one but it says 'Dad's Old Dig Site' would be the last one after the mine you're in now.
So that would be the one not to do ( 'Dad's Old Dig Site' ) and you will stay in Atlantis until you complete that.
Whew, so hard to figure stuff out when it's all not listed in all the pages.
Greece is 1.8x more than Atlantis in energy.
Happy digging.

If anyone is asking the same question as I was a few monrths ago I now know the answer. I finally moved up to Greece after completing the Christmas 2017 and 2018 events.

After completing Dad's Old Dig Site, two more maps on the main Atlantis page open: Servitor Maintenance Facility, and Atlantean Geological Institute. It is only when you finish the quest in the Geological Institute that Greece opens.

Elfrieda

Thanks for that. I do have a couple of Dad quests to finish, and also have a lot of Atlantis mines not totally cleared.

My plan is to keep on clearing Atlantis until another special event comes along - not the next, or the one after that, but some time. It seems to me the best time to open Greece is at the end of a segmented event, which I will be able to finish in the Atlantis version, then open Greece in time to buy better camp equipment with the event equipment.

To give some of you a sense of how things can improve and in what space of time, compare my current set-up with that described in my post above when I was at Level 95.

I am now at Level 145. My overnight regen is set at 26,396 which takes about 6 1/2 hours. During the day, I have the fast-fill set for approximately 9300 in 1 hour 20 minutes. There is a lot I can do with these regen amounts, with room to tweak if I have more time to play.

Btw I am still in Scandinavia, having participated in all the recent events and having completed all of them, all challenges included.

I got a new iPad and couldn’t get back to my prior game. So I’m redoing Egypt, even though I was previously in Scandanavia. The above info is good. I’m trying to limit purchases this go round - haven’t spent anything yet. Currently at level 51 and just reached 250 gems. I’m wondering if the last tile finder is worthwhile or if I should purchase the switch system. Thoughts? (Yes, I’m constantly running out of juice and have to wait to resume playing, as I was last time and I didn’t purchase either of these items but spent more on equipment and potion .). TIA!

gamemaster

Poptart
Switch system first.
The LTF is good but you can get alot more energy and save time with the switch system when you can use it properly.
Plus, isn't the LTF available to you now for 50000 coins?
So it would be better to wait until you can afford the coins and then get that.
Also keep a record of you player id for this game so if you lose progress again you can contact support to get it back.

Poptart @gamemaster is correct. The LTF can wait and the PSS is more important for building up your Camp and your Diggy by default. Plus, having to try to find tiles on your own can help you clear Mines better, because it will hone a skill by forcing you to recognise how some tiles get passed by. I have the LTF but I don't use it very often, enjoying being able to see how some tiles sort of blend in or can be bypassed otherwise, then applying that to finding them as I go. And the LTF is available later for Coins, and it is better to spend Coins on an item instead of Gems whenever you can.

Also, be careful on what you do spend those Gems on. Do your research and make certain what you might think is a good deal to spend them on at the time is really the better or best deal you could get on something else or a little later on. Unless, of course, you don't mind buying Gems every now and then.

CLEARING OUT YOUR CAMP
<snip>
So if you concentrate on clearing out the 4 high slots first, then the 3 high and then 2 high, you will end up using fewer of the more expensive, harder to come by materials when that change occurs.

I read this advice early on, and have been only clearing the 4 high slots. But today I found this page of the grid unlock costs on the wiki. It does not mention any increase in costs as you clear tiles. And in addition, I have noticed that the cost of my next two high slot has not increased, even though I have cleared about a dozen four high slots.

So I am wondering if what you wrote is wrong, or is perhaps specific to the computer version?

gamemaster

Purple_Digger
It does tell you the materials needed to clear the grid at each level and how much needed to clear every slot which does increase.
The cost of those next 2 slots is for only 1 slot, the next available slot to be cleared which you have 2 choices, when you take one of them out it the other will increase as listed in the link.
Pc and mobile are the same with this.

Alex_Clover

Purple_Digger I probably should edit that, as that was info I was told by a player in China when I was still in Egypt that I never bothered to check on. It is still a good idea to clear the 4 high then 3 high grid slots whenever possible, since any piece of Camp Equipment will fit in the 4 high and the 3 high is the next roomiest one. Some players in the recent Summer Builder's Event missed out on the Golden Ticket piece of Equipment because they didn't bother to clear any 4 high slots with their Materials. They hadn't bothered to check beforehand that it required two 4 high slots, nor did they use the Materials gained in the Event (of which there was enough to clear those slots) to clear those slots. They could have remained ignorant of all of this concerning that Golden Ticket item and still gotten it had they simply followed the advice of clearing 4 high slots whenever the opportunity arose.
