Daily Ascension Chart
Posted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 9:55 pm
Not sure if I posted this before, but here is the chart I made like a year ago. This assumes numbers and formulas haven't changed much, but if they have try to save more than the chart states. Follow the instructions EXACTLY for it to work. I posted this in the TCC forums a long time ago, so this is a copy paste action from there:
OK, so here is my new chart with total cost per level. Everything about how the chart works will be explained below. Of course it would be better if someone verified this with calculation prior to anyone actually trying it. Here goes!

OK, so here we go.
Levels 1 through 18 are pretty self explanatory. Buy the ID, buy the tech, buy the UP, receive that UP amount at the beginning of the ascension then train the amount of priests listed for that level. Now a couple things I need to point out to make this as problem free as possible. First, you must ascend right before reset, this way your new UP is recognized at reset allowing you to receive the amount of UU you need for this to work. Also, in order for this to be free, you need to take your current level into account and plan to land on 18-19 on Saturday or Sunday reset(actually just before reset so your UP updates). This way you can use 2 MT's for PPT after your 1 day freebie PPT. Then at Monday your MT's reset and you can do another 3 day ascension with the freebie and MT PPT. One thing to note: If you ascend just before Sunday reset, you must use the MT's to pull the next 2 days BEFORE Monday reset or you will end up using the MT's on the following week MT schedule and will be unable to do a free 3 day ascension on Level 20.
Now, some of you may be wondering.....Why train (for example level 10-11) 2756 priests when you are only able to use 1378 of the 4134 you receive? The answer is simple. This stops you from having to log on every half hour to train priests, and since we are worried about getting max higgs per turn and not wasting priests, this is the best way to do it. At the end of the day you will have a total of 8268 Units. 4134 you received at the start and 4134 you earned by the end of the day. So while at the start of the day you only use 1378 Priests, at the end you will be using 2756 priests. This means you will have a mean priest usage of 2067 throughout the day. With the tech level at 445, each priest produces 10.9 Higgs per turn. That means you have a mean Higgs production of 22530.3 per turn. Times that by 48 turns and you now have a total of 1,081,454.4 Higgs earned for the day. This is a little more than you need, but I figured the numbers in with a small window. You can choose to not train all the priests required in bulk at the start if you know you will be logging on constantly, but you risk throwing off the numbers if you do it wrong.
Any math geniuses let me know if my numbers are wrong.

The 3 day ascension levels are pretty self explanatory too You do the same at the start as every other level. Buy the required amounts of everything and train the required amount of priests. The difference is that instead of hitting ascend, for days 2 and 3 you just train more priests. The following days are not additional priests to train but the total required at the start of the day. For example. Level 19-20 shows day 1 at 39602, then day 2 at 79204. This does not mean train an additional 79204 priests, it means train an additional 39602 priests to make a total of 79204 for day 2. The easiest way to do this is just add the original amount every day. So on day 3 you would train an additional 39602 Priests. The same holds true for level 18-19. The whole priest averaging thing works the same here while you receive a daily shipment of UU and earn the same amount each day.
ONE OTHER VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL::: Remember to buy the ID before the techs!! I know this seems like common sense, but if you are in a hurry, you might mess this up and basically spend all your naq reserves on 1 level. Moral of the story, don't be in a rush while you do this. Also, the calculator I used may still calculate double costs at DMC level 100 or greater. If this is the case, you can effectively cut 25% of the quoted cost per level that has a DMC greater than 100. I just wouldn't count on it and err on the safe side and save the amount you need according to the chart plus whatever you need to put in the level 25 account at the start.
Once again, I would love for someone to proof this before anyone dives in. Good luckz!
Edit: No raiding is needed. In fact you do not want to raid because this will take you off PPT. This is a way to ascend while being completely protected so your naq can stay open the whole time. Also make sure you have someone dependable to send you your UU daily at the start of each ascension.
