Trophies

**Trophies** are chicken number milestones for each egg that gets unlocked when all Challenges have been completed.

Trophies are gained when the number of chickens on your farm reaches a certain level.

* 10 million for Bronze Trophy
* 50 million for Silver Trophy
* 250 million for Gold Trophy
* 1 billion for Platinum Trophy
* 10 billion for Diamond Trophy

Since it is harder to get each amount of chickens with lower value eggs, trophies for lower value eggs are harder to obtain and typically offer "better" rewards. However, as a general rule, the number of soul eggs offered as a trophy reward is typically much smaller than the number you will need to get it, so there is no real point in chasing them (meaning Graviton Eggs offer the worst set of trophies in the game). The golden egg rewards are therefore better, but even at maximum efficiency, usually you can only reach the 250 million trophy using boosts without spending more eggs than you get (see the Tachyon Prism Boost Statistics). The Prophecy Egg rewards, on the other hand, are generally worth the effort by the time you can realistically get them.

The game always keeps track of the most chickens you've had on a home farm for each type of egg but doesn't award the trophies until all Challenges are complete. Once you complete your final Challenge, the game will award you with all trophies that you were qualified for previously.

## Strategy

Credit goes to discord user mennoo (146707232225099776) for this guide to getting (almost) all diamond trophies on double boost length event.

Original link to the strategy can be found here, from the main Egg, Inc. discord server.

### Prerequisites

- Pro permit

- Double boost time event is active

- Boosts: One supreme tachyon prism (1000x IHR for one hour), two large boost beacon (5x all boosts for one hour), two Jimbo's best bird feed (50x earnings for two hours). Total cost: 70k GE, without buy 5 discount

- EB: This depends. If you start around the 10Q to 100Q range with Henerprise level artifacts, you should be able to get the edible diamond trophy. However, using this strategy earlier to do the higher value eggs is very feasible as well. This will also depend on your artifacts as well. Also see the "starting egg" section below. I wouldn't advice using this strategy below the 10q EB mark or so (this is small q as in quadrillions).

- Artifacts: No artifacts are 100% necessary, but it is advised to have at least a T3 gusset. Other very useful artifacts are chalice, monocle, necklace, ankh, cube, and vial. A dilithium stone setup is also very useful.

**Artifact sets:**

During the strategy you will use three artifacts sets:

- Dilithium set: your best set of slotted dilithium stones

- IHR set: Your best chalice and monocle. Optionally any artifact with life stones in them

- Earnings set: Your best earnings set, probably some combination of necklace, ankh, vial, bob, and monocle. You can use a cube when buying research

**Figuring out your starting egg:**

Depending on your EB and artifacts, you might not be able to start with the edible diamond trophy immediately. However, as you gain PE from the other diamond trophies, your EB will increase, which might tip you over the edge to be able to do edible as well. I would advice to start at the tachyon egg to get an idea of how easy that specific diamond trophy is. If you notice you can do it very easily, you can go to a quite low level egg like medical or rocket fuel. From here on you can go forwards in eggs only, which is easier than prestiging every time.

If you notice tachyon is already quite close, you can go back less far, like quantum or immortality for example, and go forwards from there. Once you're back at tachyon, you can decide to just continue with the non-PE trophies, or go back to a lower level egg to try with the newly gained PE.

**Figuring out your needed WD level:**

Make sure you know which level of wormhole dampening you need to get 10B hab space when using your best gusset. A chart has been placed at the side.

**Calculating your offline IHR:**

Make sure you know what your internal hatchery rate (IHR) is when having all common IHR research bought and have your IHR artifact set active. Use this to calculate the chickens you gain per minute, when offline, with the boost set active. For example, if your IHR set consists of a 30% chalice and a 15% monocle, and your internal hatchery calm ER is maxed, your offline IHR will be equal to

7440 (base IHR with all common research) \* 3 (IHC effect) \* 4 (number of habs) \* 1.3 (chalice) \* 1.15 (monocle) \* 1000 (tachyon boost) \* 10 (boost beacon) = 1.335 billion chickens per minute.

### **The run itself:**

1. Go to your starting egg. Build up until you start reaching the point of it being hard to buy more research. Equip your dilithium artifact set, and activate the boost set.

2. Activate your earnings artifact set, and buy as much research as you can with your increased earnings. Focus especially on IHR research. Once you have Neural Linking maxed, you can go off farm. If you notice you cannot max it that is not an issue, just go offline when it's clear you won't get any more levels within a reasonable time.

3. Equip your IHR artifact set. Go off farm for so many minutes that you get +- 5 billion chickens. You can calculate this time using the offline IHR you calculated before; simply divide 5 billion by the offline IHR. On lower level eggs, you can come back a bit earlier, so you have more time to run chickens and earn enough bocks.

4. Go back online and equip your earnings artifacts set. Run chickens and buy research until you have bought the necessary wormhole dampening level you need. Equip your gusset and IHR artifact set, and go back offline

5. Stay offline for so many minutes that you get to 10 billion chickens. The exact amount depends on your offline IHR, and your population when you went offline. You can calculate on the fly or do a rough estimate.

6. Go back online. If everything went well, you should now have 10 billion chickens. Wait until the trophy pops up and claim it. Don't go to the next egg before you claimed the trophy, as you won't get it!

7. Go to the next egg you want to do, and repeat steps 2 until 6

NOTE: You can also equip a slightly different strategy. Instead of first going off farm until +-5b chickens, you can also immediately get both the required WD and as much NL levels as possible, and then go off farm only once. This will also give you more time to get the cash for WD, although it could be a slightly less efficient use of the time on your tachyon prisms

## Rewards

The second to the bottom row above lists the minimum time to reach that many chickens without using any boosts but with every available relevant research and epic research (i.e. it assumes your internal hatchery rate is 7,440, you have 4 habs, and your internal hatchery rate triples while the game is off).

The bottom row lists the time with a T4L Chalice slotted with 3 T4 Clarity Stones.

**Version 1.20.4 - 15 February 2021**

The bottom row above lists the minimum time to reach that many chickens without using any boosts but with every available relevant research and epic research (i.e. it assumes your internal hatchery rate is 7,440, you have 4 habs, and your internal hatchery rate triples while the game is off).

**Pre-Version 1.20.4**

The bottom row above lists the minimum time to reach that many chickens without using any boosts but with every available relevant research and epic research (i.e. it assumes your internal hatchery rate is 7,440, you have 4 habs, and your internal hatchery rate triples while the game is off). Note that the 10 billion trophy requires you to get a lot of research done - it is the only trophy whose requirement is more chickens than the base capacity of 4 chicken universes - so in practice it is much more than 10 times as difficult to get as the 1 billion trophy.

## Trivia

* All players earn at least one gold trophy on a specific egg upon completion of all challenges because hatching 300 million chickens is one of the challenges.
* Tiny models of trophies appear on a shelf near the mailbox of the farm. The shelf can hold up to 15 trophies, but 5 more are stacked on top of it.
* The total amount of Eggs of Prophecy available from trophies is 40. There are 19 from tachyon to edible diamond trophies, and 21 from all enlightenment trophies. The last 10 from the enlightenment diamond trophy are incredibly hard to get and prior to version 1.20, were widely accepted as impossible to obtain without cheating.
* Anyone who had the Enlightenment Egg Diamond Trophy prior to version 1.20 had it removed since it could not have been legitimately obtained prior to the addition of Artifacts. However, they were later offered the opportunity to regain the trophy, but this trophy will not have the "verified" symbol that a legitimate Diamond Enlightenment trophy will have.
* After all the trophies are rewarded, a large diamond trophy will occupy the final spot on the trophy shelf.
* Since Version 1.20, obtaining all trophies results in a message *(when you visit the Trophy progress screen)* which says you have unlocked the secrets of the universe but have not yet unlocked the secrets of the soul.
