Crystal Factory

From Idling to Rule the Gods Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The factory can be unlocked once one UUC or UBC have been completed. The Crystal Factory gives your god the ability to build crystal modules on your Planet once Planet Level 1 has been unlocked. You start with 2 crystal equip slots, but can get up to 6 with premium purchases, lucky draws, or pet stones.

Crystal Modules

Each level of a module allows you to make one grade 1 crystal every ten minutes and convert crystals to the next grade with 1% greater efficiency. Higher level modules produce more grade 1 crystals every ten minutes, and require more shadow clones to operate. Each grade 1 crystal requires 1.2 billion (1.2e9) each of Light, Air, and Water. The time and clones required can be reduced by completing Crystal Power Challenges.

  • Physical Module: Unlocked with 100 energy, enabled with 10,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 50.
  • Mystic Module: Unlocked with 100 energy, enabled with 10,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 50.
  • Battle Module: Unlocked with 100 energy, enabled with 10,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 50.
  • Creation Module: Unlocked with 100 energy, enabled with 10,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 50.
  • Ultimate Module: Unlocked with 300 energy, enabled with 30,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 150.
  • God Module: Unlocked with 500 energy, enabled with 50,000 clones per module level, each level increases the upgrade cost by 250.

Crystal Upgrades

The modules allow you to build grade 1 crystals. When you have enough, you can upgrade multiple crystals of a grade to a higher grade. You will lose some in the process. Each crystal has a conversion rate, which is the % of crystals which will remain after upgrading them to the next level. This percent will fall by 5% for each grade. The conversion rate can never fall below 5%, or go higher than 95%. It is possible to obtain over 100% conversion rate, however it will be capped at the 95%. These are the base conversion rates for grade 1 crystals:

  • Physical, Mystic, Battle, and Creation Crystals start at a conversion rate of 100% (capped at 95%).
  • Ultimate Crystals start at a conversion rate of 60%.
  • God Crystals start at a conversion rate of 40%.

You can buy an upgrade that increases the conversion rate by 25% for 300,000 pet stones, or in the premium store with real-world currency. NRCPC can further increase this chance by 10%.

Ultimate and God modules can increase the conversion rate by a maximum of 25%, this cap exists independently of whether or not you have the Premium upgrade, and/or the challenge point upgrades.

When upgrading, crystals require more of their current tier but can accept multiples to reach higher tiers. For example, with 95% efficiency a tier three crystal could be made out of three tier one crystals, but if you first upgrade to tier two you need to create another tier two to upgrade to three, which requires four tier one crystals total. Thus it's generally advisable to upgrade at most twice during a run - once to get some benefits from the crystals, and once right before you rebirth to maximize the Crystal Power received.

To calculate how long it would take to upgrade a given crystal type to a specific level based on the relevant factors, you can make a copy of this calculator.

Crystals

Once you have some crystals made, you can equip them to your God, for a boost in stats, special perks, and even generate GP. Here's what each crystal can do:

Crystal physical.png

Physical Crystal: Raises Physical by (100% * crystal Grade) as well as raises BS by (3% * crystal grade.) Caps at grade 30 for 3000% physical and 90% BS.

Crystal mystic.png

Mystic Crystal: Raises Mystic by (100% * crystal Grade) as well as reduces Defender Clone damage from UB's by (3% * crystal grade). Caps at grade 30 for 3000% Mystic and 90% damage reduction.

Crystal battle.png

Battle Crystal: Raises Battle by (100% * crystal Grade) as well as increases div from monster and Div Gen output by (3% * crystal grade). Caps at grade 30 for 3000% Battle and 90% more divinity/s.

Crystal creation.png

Creation Crystal: Raises Creation by (100% * crystal Grade) as well as your CC by (1 * crystal grade). Caps at grade 30 for 3000% Creation and 30 more CC.

Crystal ultimate.png

Ultimate Crystal: This crystal combines the above four basic crystals' effects simultaneously, with the same formulas, add but has a cap of grade 20 instead of 30. If you equip this crystal in combination with a basic crystals, the effects for that stat are combined additively. For example, a grade 10 Physical and grade 10 Ultimate crystal equipped combine to give 2000% to Physical stat, and a total of 60% extra BS.

Crystal god.png

God Crystal: Generates GP/hour. Grants 1 GP every (7:30:00 / crystal grade). Caps at grade 15, for 1GP every 30 minutes. (Offline god power gains are capped at 20 GP per offline session.)

  • Note: For Mystic and Ultimate crystals, regardless of how much damage reduction you receive in total, there is a cap of 95% damage reduction for defender clones.

Crystal Power

Upon Rebirth all your crystals are destroyed, but you gain Crystal Power (CP) based on the total grades of all crystals you have equipped. The total Crystal Power you have accumulated can be viewed on the God Power page. The four basic crystals (Physical, Mystic, Battle, and Creation) give 1 CP per grade. Ultimate crystals gives you 2 CP per grade. The god crystal gives you 3 CP per grade. This amount can be increase with MCC up to twice as much.

Each CP will grant you 0.5% CS and BS which will be added to your your total amount. CP will also multiply the power of unspent god power by 0.1%.

You effective CP can be increased through various ways. The number in parentheses to the right of your base CP in the god power page is your effective CP. Your base CP can be improved by:

  • 10% from a CHP purchase
  • 100% from maxing GSCs, increased to 110% after the first 20 UCCs
  • Overflow Points purchases
  • Unicorn's special ability (maxed at 25%)
  • Spacedim: Focusing Amplifier (this is temporary and resets on rebirth)

All but one of these bonuses are multiplicative, so it is possible to have 3-5x or more effective CP. Unicorn's CP boost is additive to the improvement from Overflow Points. So, if you have 25% from Overflow and 25% from Unicorn, together they will multiply your effective CP by 50%.

Crystal Sacrifice

The Crystal Sacrifice feature can be unlocked with Challenge Points and allows you to, once a day, sacrifice your level 1 Crystals and convert them into Crystal Power. All unequipped level 1 Crystals are consumed. Collecting your daily Lucky Draw restores access to your daily Crystal Sacrifice. These days cannot be stored for later.

CP is awarded at the rate of (# of Crystals) ^ 0.3 for each type of Crystal, tallied separately. The CP reward is doubled for Ultimate crystals, and tripled for God Power crystals. Because each type is calculated separately, having n Physical and Mystic crystals will give more CP than having 2n Physical crystals.

The optimal time to use Sacrifice cannot easily be calculated since it depends on which modules you've leveled up, which Crystals you want to keep to further benefit the challenge you're in, how long the rebirth is, etc. For longer rebirths around 24h+, waiting until your Crystals are at a decent level before sacrificing is good, since you get both the temporary benefits of the Crystals and the permanent CP boost. For shorter rebirths, using Sacrifice before a rebirth to even gain a couple more CP will add up in the long run.
