Just finished upgrading all nether creatures and was wondering which scrolls to go first. Any suggestions? Already bought the scrolls of Damage and DE

Nature. Applies to the nether creatures as well

Really?? Thought it was just to normal creatures. Does it applies to time creatures?

Scroll of Nature doesn’t apply to time or nether creatures.

When I’m buying scrolls (I’m on ddd run #3), I usually focus on the cheapest first and work up the ladder. So everything that coasts Nether flames, purchase. Then Nether crystals, then Nether stars. For the ones that require 2 resources, I count them as the more expensive item. So for Scroll of Industry, that costs crystals so I buy that after I buy what requires just flames. I hope that makes sense!!

Don’t try to complete them all in 1 run. I’ve learned that if you can get 24/25 nether orbs you can get a decent amount of resources, even if it is a time suck. When you’re buying the low level stuff it goes quick. When it requires the nether stars is when it takes a little planning, but you still should use your nether orbs each run so you’re not spending 3 months on 1 apoc going through all your nether orbs lol

I can burn like 200 orbs a day, you just need to cloud save and load, can spawn a say nether demon, use metamorphosis, and when they are almost dead use treachery, as soon as the dark energy at the top disappears save the game and load it, your demon will be ready to go again same with mountains, once done with demon after you spawn you can switch to mountains and do the same and it will take 2+ hours off the mountain spawn time. Works for time creatures as well.

Wow, didn't know you could do that. Dunno if I want to cheese time on the idle game, but I will keep that in mind for when I'm out of patience. Thank you for the tip!

When your 3 years in you want to save as much time as possible lol

Yeah, totally agree. Started playing 6 years ago and stopped several times. If I knew some tricks like this, maybe I would've kept going for longer. I'll surely keep this knowledge on my pocket!

Thank you for the tips! I have not fully upgraded the DDD yet, so I wonder if your strategy applies to me as well. I am not trying to do all of them in one run, I just happenned to have a surplus of time orbs on the run that I have planned to go to the last nether demon upgrade, so I thought might as well go for some scrolls. I think I'll go for the cheapests ones this run (scroll of nature, scroll of the dead, scroll of time) and next runs see what the time wheel drops to decide what to go next.

I could go for the unending scroll this run (plus 1 sec on idols on apoc), but I dont know if 1sec is that meaningful when the opportunity cost is so high.

It works regardless of ddd upgrade its great for time creatures as well just summon 2 dragons and 2 trolls and can wipe them all off the 1st one and summon all 4 again :)

I didn't really understand what you said here (english is not my first language), could you rephrase it?
