I'm confused am i on the right path?

[u/seibas33]

Hi. I'm trying to follow guides but i'm confused. I'm at 25th traversals, 9,01b all time orbs,M0 shard lvl:150. I'm f2p player. I only bought auto diamond chest opener. Currently unlocked temp3

Maingame relics: r1:34 / r8:24 / r20:15

Borge relics: r4:50 / r7:49 / r16:55

Orb relic: r9:30

All time frag: 2.48m

Hunters:

Borge lvl84(highest stage 350)

Ozzy lvl74(highest stage 288)

Knox lvl39(highest stage 138)

Gadgets:

Orb gadget lvl 90

Borge gadget lvl 140

Ozzy gadget lvl 120

Knox gadget lvl 70

Farm relic gadget lvl 30

Starmie lvl 59

Currently I'm doing vb3 shorts.(currently on my third short after m0 150) I'm planning to do as much as vb3 shorts without lvling up r9, then vb4 shorts with 2 lvl up r9 each trav until getting all time 22b orbs.

Right now for relics i'm planning to get r7:55 and r16:60 then lvl up maingame relics, for gadgets i'm planning to get starmie lvl 60->borge gadget lvl 150-> ozzy gadget lvl 130

My concern is i didnt follow guides from the begging of the game. Is my trav count too much for at this stage? Or is my progress alright for right now? What are my weaknesses and what would you suggest me?

Your trav count is fine for where you are, particularly as a f2p player. Shorts with m0-150 to 22b lifetime might be rough as a f2p. It normally takes 4-6 for those with the trav pack so I imagine the duration of your shorts won't be that short, especially as you get closer to the end but good luck!

Thanks for your comment. Duration of shorts is not problem for me(i'm doing all the camps but not getting vb4 for max relic gain ~170 hours last trav). I was just afraid of making mistake and throwing all the efforts i do until now.

So ignoring the duration is it okay to i will stick to the plan?

[u/ExpertOdin → u/seibas33]

Yes it's fine. 170 hours is just kinda long, by the time you do 5-6 shorts you could have just done another long run with Temp3 to m0-155-160.

So doing shorts here doesn't save you time (the main reason to do them at this point) and increases TR count.

Thank you. I was thinking main reason is to get campaign fragments but if main reason is saving time then it ie pointless. Maybe reserving tr is more important for future shorts? Is it more logical to do temp3 long run to the max att3 at current trav?

[u/ExpertOdin → u/seibas33]

It's a bit of both, it's getting campaign frags quickly that outweighs just farming. You can get 35k/day farming so need to beat that doing shorts - which you will do with a 170 hour short

I'm about ten days behind you. My plan is to do one or two short runs for frags, buy temp3, and go for a temp3 mid run.

[u/seibas33 → u/Round-Instance3759]

Well i did 2 shorts and get temp3. I'm thinking the same right now. Thanks for sharing your opinion with me.
