==The Advanced Guide==
Getting into evil? This guide will give you some tips.
===BEFORE EVIL===
When should you enter evil? Here are some recommended things you should do first:
*Get all your normal challenges done (Except for the normal 24hr challenage, and maybe one or two No TM)
*A fully maxed and greened Choco Set
*Save up at least 200 PP for the Welcome to Evil Perk and more for Banks
*Fruit of Knowledge at full power (full harvest, perks, quirks, bb ngu ygg and exp)
*Beast V4 on autokill; max both the power pill and gerbil
*35m of total exp
*Prepare one or two EM beta potions (optional)
Even before you're ready to farm evil, you should enter it as soon as you can just for the extra BP and go back to normal afterwards. Save up some AP and buy the evil-only accessory slot from the shop, too, which is usable in normal mode. You will be ready around the time you hit 24m total exp.
Pro Tip: You can always use the Gear Optimizer to optimize your gears.
===EVIL===
WELCOME TO EVIL!
So here you are in EVIL and apparently nothings moving. Literally not moving. Ya cant kill boss #1 cause ya suck. So here's how to un-suck.
You just wait. And WAIT. And WAIT LONGER. You'll need some time to ramp the beards up and also for fruit activation. At this point you could perhaps try an evil basic challenge.
Do some 30min rebirths to get your NUMBER up. Your first goal would be to rush for boss #58. Start with a few 30 minute rebirths before going back to longer ones. At least try to get to boss #37. Your next goal is to get to Greasy Nerd (boss #125) as fast as you can. Usually takes around 10 days from the start of evil.
In evil you will find some features being very very unfriendly (shame on them) and some being very friendly (GOOD ON YOU!)
*Fight bosses (with that evil multiplier division, this feature doesn't let you kill tons of boss to reward you with exp, but it's still important)
*Adventure (ITOPOD is your friend; stay here and farm pp nonstop)
*Augmentation (2.5 trillion times slower than normal mode)
*Advanced Training (this is your most important friend)
*Time Machine (1 trillion times slower than normal mode)
*Blood Magic (1 billion times slower than normal mode)
*Wandoos (1 trillion times slower than normal mode at 98 - higher versions are even slower)
*Evil NGU (between 1 billion and 1 trillion times slower than normal NGUs)
*Yggdrasil (Fruit of Knowledge is very important)
*Gold Diggers (HoHoHo, you think with that BROKEN time machine of yours you can get this working? Well it still works, but kinda bad service = less pp! less exp! less ngu! less adv!)
*Beards (Your good friend, always there for you even when you are asleep, offline, pooping or whatever you do, and it will still run)
Pro Tip: A trick for doing manual quests faster than usual. A little tedious tho. Its called the SCUM QUEST METHOD.
First you pick a zone you want to stay in forever for quests. The best choice for this is Pretty Pink Princess Land, for the highest exp rewards (if you're strong enough to one-shot it). To make sure that all your major quests are for this zone, you can take advantage of the fact that quest zones are random but the sequence is fixed.
Save your game. Then start a minor quest. Skip it until it assigns you the zone you want. Keep count of how many quests you skipped. When you reload your save, the sequence of zones will be the same: if it went from whatever -> whatever -> Pretty Princess, then after reloading, it will assign you PPPL after skipping two zones. Tick the "major quest" box after skipping the first two and your major quest will be in PPL. If you collect more quest objects than you need, scum quest assignments until you get the same zone, then turn them in right away.
===EVILVERSE - Boss #58===
So now you start to climb. At first you'll want to stay in ITOPOD all the time, farm PP, and buy all the bank perks. Get all the banks, up to Bank V except Gold Bank. Why? Because Advanced Training and Beards are not affected by the evil multiplier. Split your resources into 20-40% AT and the rest in Normal NGU. (Do run evil NGU occasionally - try to hit any soft caps that'll only take a few days to reach - but you'll mainly want to level Normal NGUS until your Evil NGUs get way faster.)
You should work towards capping your Advanced Training (this will get you to 8m levels at the end of a 24hr rebirth). This will provide you the stats to kill Evil mobs, but more importantly to raise the ITOPOD floor. With AT Wandoos you can start running Wandoos 98 or even perhaps cap it. 
Now you want to also get five Beards (minimum). You should be running these at all times.
#Fu Manchu
#Reverse Hitler
#Golden
#Beard Cage
#BEARd
Neckbeard and LadyBeard can be saved for later, as you won't need improved drop rate until late Evil and improving Wandoos is less efficient than upping A/D and NUMBER. The longer you've had a beard running, though, the more progress you'll accumulate, and you'll need everything eventually.
So now you need to rush to Boss 58 and unlock Evilverse ASAP. With the stats you get from capping AT, you should be able to snipe the bosses here. Now equip your gold set and kill the boss! This will push your diggers almost to its former glory where they provide good bonuses.
Now go back to ITOPOD and farming PP. Don't bother with Evilverse anymore - the item set is ho-hum. Complete it later for the set bonus when you're stronger.
Pro Tip: When farming for gear, you can always put another set into the daycare to speed things up, especially items whose levels are lagging the rest of the set.
===PRETTY PINK PRINCESS LAND - Boss #100===
Wear your gold set, kill the boss and go back to ITOPOD again. The only thing worthwhile here is A Pretty Pink Bow but you're not going to be focusing on quests until later.
Pro Tip: BEAST MODE SNIPE I: You can snipe bosses earlier by using Beast Mode. On Beast Mode, pre-cast parry and charge. Enter to boss/titan (you can cast both offensive and ultimate buff for titans during entry), strike with ultimate attack, charged parry, pierce, parry then use paralyze gaze, hit again, block, hit again then OFF Beast Mode and run Defensive Buff. Fight til death. If you can't win, you might wanna try BEAST MODE SNIPE II.
===GREASY NERD - Boss #125===
After far too long, you should reach here! Time to start working on hacks. Hacks require Resource 3, which isn't cheap, but for starters you can get your R3 cap up to about 30k for 10m exp.
Start farming Nerd gear. Get your incriminating evidence to level 100. Once you're done you can go back to do some challenges like No Rebirth and the Basics. You can also go back to farming the previous 2 zones.
Ratio I use for R3 (1:40k:0.5); EMR ratio (100k:33k:2)
At this point you have different options on what to focus on. You can go for beast NGU quirk and focus heavily more on EM to get those ngu running. Or you can follow my ratio which focus more on adventure hack and later on wishes. Invest a bit in every hack.
Also at this point you will get the Adventure MacGuffin. You know what to do. Use those fruits on it. And with Fruit of MacGuffin beta, now's the time to get more MacGuffin slots. Getting four slots from the sellout shop is pretty sufficient. But spend your AP wisely. EM potions after this point don't really help too much.
Pro Tip: To level a specific MacGuffin without the wish, the trick is to un-equip all the MacGuffins except for the one you wanna level. Then use Fruit of MacGuffin alpha on it, and then reequip the other MacGuffins.
===MEGA META LANDS #158===
You don't need a guide at this point. Standard Adventure Zone procedure. One thing to pay attention to is the gear with seed gain. Equip it before you eat or harvest your fruits. Meta Lands drops aren't exactly awesome, but you'll want them to get to the next zone.
Pro Tip: You can actually idle zones way earlier than the recommendation if you were to, let's say spend some exp into HP Regen. Technically, as long as the average damage is below your regeneration, you are definitely 100% safe. Don't ask how much exp you have to pour into it. If you wanna spend, figure it out yourself.
Pro Tip: You should check out the difference between Evil NGU Respawn LVL 10000 and LVL 10001. Perhaps one day it'll be fix, but since it's 4G.....i think not.
===The Godmother #166 ===
An EXPLODER TITAN!
You can actually kill this titan earlier if you do a BEAST MODE SNIPE II.
You can now wish. What to wish for? Set your order to Total Costs. Wish for what's affordable. Wish(0) to start with, of course. Allocate your resources wisely. You can do a hybrid between ngu, hacks and wishes and it'll still work. Works pretty much the same way with perks and quirks.
You will reach The Godmother V2 before the next zone.
After getting the Mobster set, you might choose to go for another round of challenges.
The Godmother's wand is a find. Equip it and everything else that grants Yggdrasil yield before eating fruit.
Pro Tip: E/M/R3 Power Wishes are no joke.
Pro Tip: With the money pit wish, the pit effectively has 40% to level up all your equipment or daycare items. If you want, you can save your game each time before tossing gold in it. After loading the game, the outcome will be the same, but you can prepare for it, gaining an extra level on your rare items like Looty and AFP. This can be considered cheating.
===Typo Zonw #174===
Reaching Typo Zonw takes a long, long time. You'll need to spend a lot on adventure improvements: NGU Adv A and B, Adv perk, Adv quirk and also tons of Adv Hack. Galactic Looty and A6P helps too.
This is the zone where your drop chance starts to catch up to the caps. Once you get to Typo Zone, you'll be able to farm the gear pretty quickly.
You should be able to kill Godmother V3 at this point. 350 Qi (E18) Toughness is easily sufficient if you use Beast Mode Snipe.
(Info: My Fruit of Knowledge at this point is 140m exp daily)
Pro Tip: It's always good to to farm for boosts in the early half of the rebirth and then zones for the remaining time. That's because it takes some time for your AT, Bear and Neckbeard to power up.
=== The Fad-Lands #182 ===
In contrast to the Typo Zonw, the Fad Lands is easy to get past. By the time you max and fully boost the Typo set, you can nearly manual this zone. A few more days and you'll be strong enough for it. Typo to here needs about four times higher stats, and Wee pin gives 1.6x of Tommy Gun, so the gap is easy to close, such as with a long rebirth.
Standard Adventure Zone procedure. Toughness in this zone is important if you want to idle because of chargers and poison type. Now's the time to get more Boosted Boosts, because boost progress slows down a lot. Fad Lands accessories are somewhat good, especially the Krazy Bonez for quest drops.
Pro Tip: In blind challenge, you can get an approximate measure of what boss you are at. Just go to stats breakdown to see your attack. If you are using the engineering format, your boss number will be about four times less than the exponent. For instance, if you have 1E69 attack, you boss number will be about 65.
=== Japanese Role Playing Game #190 ===
Not much harder to reach than Fad Lands. You should get here easily if you do well on your hacks and wishes, though it will still take a while to be strong enough to idle the zone. Your best bet is to run Hacks to get your P/T up. Iron Pill helps a bit too. Multipliers at this point are getting real slow (refer to next section).
Snipe for the anime wig. Yggdrasil yield means more exp from Fruit of Knowledge.
Pro Tip: BEAST MODE SNIPE II.
* Beast Mode stays on for the duration of the fight.
* Wear your move cooldown gear.
* Pre-cast charge and parry, wait till they've cooled down, and you're ready.
* Enter the zone you want. Mega Buff before the titan spawns, then Ultimate Attack.
* Hit Charge again. Parry will be triggered by the titan's attack. Pierce. Parry again.
* Attack as much as you can with your remaining moves. Alternate with Paralyze, Block, and Heal. These three moves will buy you more time until you can use another parry and ultimate attack.
Heal, Paralyze, and Block should generally be saved until after Buff wears off. Block recharges the fastest, so use it as often as you can. But if you're facing a titan with a massive special attack, save it for when the attack's about to unleash.
If you can't kill the titan after your third parry and second Ultimate Attack, you are too weak. Come back later.
=== Exile #190 ===
The climb to the priest takes some time. Although it only requires around 4x your JRPG idle farming stats, getting your numbers up gets very slow by now.
Strategies:
EXP FOR ADVENTURE STATS
Worth it for a few levels, but it quickly costs a lot of EXP for not a lot of improvement. Stick to Power and Toughness, which give better returns than max health and regen. Saving your EXP for Resource 3 and improving adventure stats through Hacks and Wishes may be faster overall.
ADVANCED TRAINING
The longer you run this, the more P/T you have. Long rebirths will help you bridge the gap for a zone or titan that you're close to tackling. But in general you want to be doing 24 hour rebirths to get the most from fruit (assuming you have the "First Harvest's the Best" perk) and beards. (MacGuffin gains are most efficient when doing 30 minute rebirths, but that is tedious.)
IRON PILL
You should have gotten all your pill power ups at this point. With blood hack/digger, capping blood magic should give you an additional 2M+ min adventure stats. Not much, but it adds up over time.
NGU ADV A & B
This has been your lifeline for a very very long time. But once your level gets into the millions it starts to dry up. By the end of Evil Mode, you can cap all your NGUs and have lots of E/M left over for everything else, so might as well keep them maxed continuously.
FRUIT OF ADVENTURE
Just like iron pill. This fruit doesn't give much, but it builds up a little as well. It's affected by base toughness so iron pill and buying stats with EXP will improve this.
BEARd
You'll need more beard banks to maintain its daily increase. Over time, its benefits will peter out.
ADV HACK
This is the new powerhouse of your stats. Good returns if you put most of your EXP into Resource 3. Throw points into other hacks too if they can be leveled cheaply.
WISH (ADVENTURE)
A good stat booster in tandem with your hacks. But it takes a lot of resources to level up wishes at first. Don't bother putting any resources into wish levels that will take more than a week to complete; due to coding errors, they will never complete at all.
PERKS/QUIRKS
Good returns in the early game. A pittance in the later game. But you'll still be thankful for them when you are starving for stats.
MACGUFFINS
With great power comes great tedium. Doing 30 minute rebirths for a month would make you very powerful, at the expense of your sanity. You could autorebirth using a script, but there are far easier ways to cheat. Still gets some decent multiplier even if you do it daily.
Pro Tip: Activating a MacGuffin Muffin on challenge days works wonders.
CARDS
Your rescue from the Exile. Casting adventure cards is the fastest way to bridge the Exile V4 gap and finally get to Sadistic mode. Get Adventure card tiers up. Cast crappy ones if you must. Add in a bit of Hacks and Wishes. Get their tiers up. Maybe a bit of drop chance to improve Exile V4 drops, especially at higher tiers. Some daycare to speed maxing out A8P and GDL.
Pro Tip: Put one level of Blue Eyes Ultimate Chestplate into your daycare. Don't underestimate daycare hack.
=== The Rad-Lands #200 ===
Another straightforward zone, just farm and you'll be stuck using most of that gear for a very very very long time.
=== Exile V4 ===
After killing Exile V3 you will then need to kill V4 and Boss #300 to get into Sadistic Mode. The climb to V4 is on a whole other level. If you think Typo was bad, wait until you reach here.
Get all your multipliers up. All of them. Hacks and Cards will have the greatest impact so focus a lot on them. There's really nothing much else to do except to wait until your adventure stats climb slowly upward. Stick pendants and McLooties in daycare to drive toward A8P and GDL. Those two are on a whole other level, and really help a lot.
Pro Tip: While grinding for Exile v4, you'll reach an adventure power level high enough to kill pissed of dudes on level 1150 of ITOPOD. With a short bypass, you can quickly maxx these out so your cube boosting get a few percent extra.
Approximate stats needed before you can defeat Exile V4:
Total Exp: 90b
Total P/T: 220E24 / 100E24
Base Adventure Power: 1.6b (Ignore Toughness, you shall kill it with pure power alone)
Advanced Training: 20m+ levels (minimum 2-day long rebirth - but don't make the final push until your Power is at least 1.5E26)
NGU: As high as possible (FYI my normal ngu's arent even near hardcap, highest was around 600m+ levels)
BEARd: Permanent ~3000%
Perks/Quirks/Wishes: You should be done with all available Adventure-boosting Quirks, Wishes, and maybe Perks.
Hacks: Level 4200 in Adventure. (You might want to use both alpha and beta R3 potions to push this up.)
Adventure MacGuffins: ~400%+. (If you are willing to be insane, you can buy muffins to push this number up to as much as 600%.)
Cards: Adv bonus around 200%+.
Cube: Tier 8
EMR: [EM Ratio 1/25k/0.5] [R3 Ratio 1/25k/0.6] (EPower 45m MPower 15m RPower 2200)
Welcome to Sadistic.
=== Note on Challenges ===
This section is purely based on opinion as different people do challenges differently.
I recommend doing challenges after every green maxed titan set. You can test run those challenges and see if you can stomach it. So one after nerd, one after gm, one after exile and one right before sadistic.
Basic and No Rebirth are the easiest and most useful among all. Troll is annoying, but the stuff up to #5 is really good. Get them done early.
Most challenges don't have special rewards except a little AP and EXP. You can get those done after Exile or pre-Sadistic.
No TM and No NGU challenges have good rewards but take a lot of effort. Evil-mode No TM is a lot easier compare to normal because the gold price to cast blood/augments are still the same as normal mode. No NGU challenges are the hardest of them all; you can't even defeat a single boss before the "Quicker Power Fruit Beta Activation" perk kicks in.
The first few 24 hour challenges are easy but the last few should probably be saved for after reaching Sadistic since it's hard to get to boss 292 in less than 24 hours without ultrahigh stats.
