It's not like getting achievements in Spiral Knights is that difficult. (Well Dauntless Diver, but that's a debate for another time) So I decided to have a little fun in lining several achievements up to finish them all at once. And am 30k richer.
So I finished all the achievements in style
Dauntless Delver really isn't all that hard, you just have to find the right gate. And if you are willing to wait around, you can play all of the easier stages.
I did it 2 saturdays ago in the RJP gate and proceeded to do 2 areans in T3 (one at D22, and one at D28). Part of the reason I attempted it was S6 was poison theme, which tends to be the easiest stratum in the game due to the concrete jungle stages.
Anyways, nice effort with the minerals. I just got to 10k deposited myself, but I tend to drop them in 2k chunks.
Well Dauntless Diver was daunting due the fact you had to put down some CE to complete and it was only really economically during a a Power Surge weekend. Now with the elevator pass, it's just plow through the levels as fast as possible.
How fun unlocking all those at once, don't think I've seen that before.
Re: 10k Minerals...
> Now to grind another 4 months to get 10k minerals again...
The mineral achievements are accumulative, you don't have to deposit them all at once. So you'll only need to deposit about another 7k or so. I got the 10k achievement when I dumped just 100 minerals into a gate.
Hanging out at the clockworks level 13 and insulting and kicking players one by one as they came through - way to ruin the game by being royal jerks
The hardest achievement is Stellar Set, because where the heck am I going to get a 5* bomb from? I got an AP as a sidearm gun, but I've always been primarily a swordie.
Do I just level up a blast bomb via cheap recipes off Kozma or what?
@Culture
I'm aware crystals are accumulative, but I also know unless you have a large group to conspire with you aren't going to single handedly change a strata's type. I wanted to do it to stack of up achievements.
@Sternlock
Invest towards a Shivermist Buster, thing is very good against Vanaduke.
I did a similar thing getting Gold Survivor, Cradle and All, and Dauntless Delver in the same run. Before that I never bothered with doing the entire 0-29 run out of laziness, and due to always getting boosts to D23 I never got Gold Survivor either. But eventually I got bored enough to do it.
@Sternlock If you solo a lot, an Ash of Agni is also a good investment, as it makes all non-fire arenas and danger rooms a breeze.
Eh, I've never bothered with the 2.5k and 10k ones even though I got like 15k. I don't want to click 10k times to add minerals, or autosell. -_-
And with missions coming up, and minerals being a requirement for some, I'll really never get it now. Better to use them on missions than gates. Least I got a good stockpile for it.
I know you know, I was referencing what Demonicsothe said, hence the block quote.
P.S. I regularly change gate strata and without conspiracy. Unless I'm conspiring with myself! Which is possible. >_> <_<
You can't green text here my friend. As for changing the gate, I mean to something you want. I'd like some more gremlin stratas, but that ain't gonna happen.
I did the same thing for minerals. Got my last load of luminites to 2k, then dumped it all in autosell.
Now to grind another 4 months to get 10k minerals again...
