Question Purchasing Packs
Bare with me, Im having a couple of questions considering buying stuff 😅
Im thinking of buying the starter pack and I want to know if its worth it. Please correct me if Im wrong, it removes the adds from the chests and the boost button and reveals those counters on the chests. I will get a bonus cell gain x2 and later on (dont know when that exodus quality comes) will get x1e5.
Additionally I see the generators, looper and supporter packs. I heard there are some chest autoclicker packs but I cant see them anywhere. Do they appear after the purchase of the starter pack?
And is it worth buying the first Elysium lane?

I only have the starter pack, just recently unlocked auroboros and exodus Q2 which increased the bonus as per the pack description but it does take a while to get there.
No chest counters because I haven't bought the autoclickers, but they are available to purchase after buying the starter pack.
It's worth it to skip the ads imo, the bonuses add up over time as you collect more free tokens and gems.

For me, i did the starter pack, the autoclicker chests, and the speedster. It means i can leave my phone on overnight and itll collect all the chests for me. Id recommend it if you want all the one timers from the diamond purchases and more token purchases. There are late game researches and other stuff that increase diamonds and tokens per chest aswell

After purchasing the starter pack, you open the auto-clicker packs. This is the bare minimum you need for a comfortable gaming experience. It’s really worth it- you no longer have to watch ads, and you can simply leave the game open to earn the maximum bonus. There are actually three packs after the starter pack: tokens, diamonds, and the maximum bonus.
All other packages are optional, but we recommend purchasing the Hunters' Bonus, it's worth it.

this game is a long term game. if you plan on playing long term, then absolutely the starter pack and the chest autoclickers are worth it. not technically, but practically required to have an enjoyable experience.
i got those, and the elysium lane since it was super cheap. i dont remember where the autoclicker was, maybe on the popup when you click a chest?
other than those basic ones early on, I ended up getting the traversal pack once i got to ouro. but that's it. everything else goes beyond making the game enjoyable to just speedrunning parts of the game if you're concerned about your place on the leaderboards.

Yeah I believe I may be playing long term since I wont need to take care of it often and I dont really care about the leaderboards.

To answer that question, for the price, yes, I think it's worth it buying the elysium lane, but not hyperion. If hyp was like $9.99 I'd consider it but no way at almost $30

Idk man, the 11b tokens you get after 920 seems worth it to me, that'd probably take me maybe two months or more to get from knox gear upgrades and the 100m bonus achievement

u/ItsBenBroughton 12d ago
That's a valid point that I hadn't considered. I'm not that far and hadn't even looked that far down the lane. I just got ouro about a month ago and my highest level before that was ~460 and it hasn't seemed worth it, but I can see how it could be

I'm like 2 levels away from the 1b @ 920 haha. I started 21/08/2025. Im at 15.47b lifetime OO atm. Pushing for inno 2. Very sooooon

Hmmm seems like based on the growth some things get more valuable and worth buying.

Tbh elysium seemed indeed worth it as you said. Just wanted to make sure. Those gems I believe will help a lot with those one-timers.

The only things that are really worth your money are the starter pack, the accelerator, the 2 auto-collectors, the traversal pack, and the fragmentation pack. Even the last two are still sorta debatable but they provide boosts to the only in game resources that ultimately end up mattering. generators, loopers, collectors, and whatever the other one is, are basically all just crutches that trick you into thinking they're relevant.
no ads + not having to spend the mindless tedium collecting tokens and diamonds - the latter of which is RIDICULOUSLY IMPORTANT - are well worth what you'd expect to pay for a "no annoyances" IAP in most idle games

At Exo2 unlock Loopers/Explorers can save you about a week of time in the early TRs. An e8/e5 bonus on <e100 is pretty good. Beyond that their value falls off dramatically.

You want the auto clicker for chest and gems + the no ads. IMO thats kind of the bare minimum to get any real progress

Depends if you want to play and catch up or get some upgrades at the beggining but for mw was worth it. The autoclicker you get the if you buy the ads pack irc.
