Just like other challenges, you select it after using a portal. You have to unlock them by reaching level 100 first, however. And don’t do that one, it gives me a headache just trying to figure out what’s going on there.
So what does “daily” mean? It sounds like a regular run with a challenge active. Is it intended to be completed in one day? Is it like, “you must complete zone such and such with the challenge active?” Do they change everyday, or does everyone get the same daily challenge?
Daily as in it changes every day, 48 hours after it appears it will no longer be available. You can always choose today’s or yesterday’s. Once you’ve activated one you like there is no time limit.
I haven’t seen an answer to this - has anybody tried it? I’m just about to hit 60 for the second time, and I’m tempted. But I’m also in incredibly good shape and thinking I might try to push to 70. Will it mess me up some how?
I’ve found a couple of good advice sites for prestige balancing and Imp-ort purchases, but is there one that’s more for boffins? I want to see they “why” behind the decisions, and am (I’m the first to admit!) not up to the math on my own.
Also, why do so few recommend magnimps as one of the first three? It seems to me that since it shows up in both maps and world, it would have the greatest overall imp-act.*

I clicked “I’m scared” last time. Didn’t notice anything different at all.
Okay, I’ve got Tauntinp, Vanimp, Whimpimp and Magnimp. What should I get next? None of the rest sound terribly useful. Has anyone found that dropping gems, or fragments, or a few seconds of production make a significant difference?
I’m no expert, and am also open to suggestions. I just bought Feyimp to complete the set of World Map imps, and you can never really have too many gems, although that usually isn’t my limiting factor so far. Next I’ll maybe try Flutimp to see if it helps during the early part of a run before you unlock Explorers, and Titimp would probably be handy in later parts of a run when it starts really helping to burn through some maps. Jestimp sounds good. I usually only get a second or two’s worth of loot from drops, 45 seconds is better than a poke in the eye.
So how much loot do you get in those few seconds? 5 seconds at the current rate of production? Is that it? sounds a trivial amount.
It does sound trivial, but maybe it goes up, as you level up like the others do?
I have a question. I just got my third Golden upgrade. It always says level 0. Isn’t it supposed to go up a level each time?
As far as I understand, it’s level 0 at 50, level 1 at 100, level 2 at 150, etc.
That seems trivial too.
Okay, I just read up on it. They reset after each portal, so this is actually the first one I unlocked on this run. I’ve never reached z100, so I won’t be seeing a lvl 2 anytime soon.
Yeah, pretty trivial until you can complete 100’s of zones in a run.
Jestimp and Chronimp are better than you might expect. They benefit from your Looting perk, from Turkimps, from heirlooms, and from Magnimps, so it may be many times the advertised amount of seconds. I got them as my fifth and sixth choices.
Titimp was seventh for me, and I’ll probably go Feyimp Flutimp and Goblimp as my last three in that order, though none of those three seem very exciting to me.
I put magnimps fourth not because they are bad, but because the top three are awesome. I could maybe see an argument with Venimps, but Whipimps and Tauntimps are far better.
The choice at level 60 is just flavor text.
The story tab apologizes to you. I think that’s the only difference.
I hate you people. 
If it helps, I’m currently at 68 trying to reach 80, which will probably happen next month.
Ummm…what is it supposed to do? I opened it up and got an empty screen with a message in the corner that said I had landed and looked hungry. Nothing more.
Yeah, it’s confusing first time around.
Click on the button marked “Gather.” You’ll start collecting food. After a while a second box will appear allowing you to chop wood.
When you’ve got some food and wood, another box will appear, which allows you to build traps.
When you’ve got one, another box will appear, with a button for “Check traps.” Clicking on this will give you your first trimp.
Set him to help you chop wood, or gather food. Build more traps. Get more trimps. Proceed from there.
I feel your pain.
How many Warpstations do you guys usually buy before a Gigastation? I guess the rule of thumb is if you aren’t going much farther, buy them sooner and if you’re on a long run, buy more Warpstations first. I currently have 8 WS’s.
I tend to think of them as on a curve that will end roughly with me catching up to buying the last gigastation just before my target level.
Plan ahead to what your target deepest level for this run will eventually be, and then backtrack to see how steep a curve you need for things to work out.
My first 100 run, if I recall correctly, I started out on an 10+3 plan - by which I mean that I got 10 WS before my first gigastation, then 13 WS before the second, then 16, etc. Somewhere around 30 WS this became +2 and toward the end it was +1. This worked out pretty well.
The starting point I based this off of was NewPlayerGuide(Truth), where he recommends 15+3 for a run to zone 125, 20+3 for a run to 145. However, I think those numbers are intended for people grinding challenges, you can get by with a bit less if you’re not in a hurry.
I’m currently on a 20+3 plan, though I’m throwing in some +4s, and am hoping to get to at least the 160s.
