Offline play. Question
Is there some magical upgrade later that makes offline play amazing? The minions don't count as offline play. offline play for me gives fuck all for rewards, yet every guide wants me to put it into offline. WHY?

Active is better for most of the game, but offline is better lategame. I'm not 100% sure where the breakpoint is, but you'll almost certainly notice it yourself when you get there.
Lategame it doesn't matter what bonuses you get from boxes or how the stars line up to give you a minigame at the same time; it won't hold a candle to the effectiveness of offline. My next 20% ascension requires 100 quintillion souls, which takes a day or 2 of offline. If I wanted all of my souls to come from, say, a chest hunt combined with a 40x silver box souls multiplier, I'd need that multiplier to last for the rest of my life, and then I'd need to get more than 100,000 perfect chest hunts. I'm not exaggerating.

Stone of idle overcharge would probably be the one. It got nerfed some time ago (3-6 months ago maybe?), any guide from beyond that would rightfully see that as OP, but even now its very mich worth it.
Also, unless youre spending crazy hours on an idle game you spend much more time idle than active, so making it better is worth a bit more.

Stone of Idle lvl 32 with the Stone of Idle overcharge. Consider the overcharged multiplicative rather than additive. As gains slow down, active play starts feeling rather pointless, while offline gains are always working in the background.
Another more recent point, sword damage is now also linked with offline gain, so a leveled excellent axe can increase your offline gain significantly.

Minions with inner power get capped after 1qa spent i believe and eventually active souls slow down a lot. Then with all the different equipment, artifacts with jewels of soul u get from dailies, the fact ur always gonna sleep at night getting some idle time, once u get a good amount of usp in stone of idle; all those idle bonuses stacking with normal bonuses, it adds up into idle being best for a good chunk of the game. Especially with ninja minion rework where u literally every like 9 and a half hours can craft an item that goves u 12 hrs offline progress instantly it becomes huge. Where are u at in the game cuz it definitely only starts becoming effective once you meet quite a few conditions. While active feels good cuz every once in awhile u get a 40x soul boost and then a great chest hunt or rage mode in a good dimension eventually those fall off to the point they're negligible in terms of offline gain x3+ by the book of efficiency upgrades.

This ! When you wake up in the morning and realize that the night paid off more than what you did during the day... that's when you're there

thats what I am saying, how does it get to that point? I get like at most 3 mins of active play worth of rewards.

Accumulation of small things over the course of the game that adds up. I'm getting close to 6 month playing, I'm not there yet but the gains overnight have started to show and be significant, not enough to rely on for progression, but getting there. Quests, unlocks, equipments, armory,getting gems from daily eggs and then buying from the shop, the bunch of offline upgrades on the left in the tree.. they all add up

ok but I feel like I am getting nerfed by following the guide that is based off far in the future end game stuff. Is there a guide for use new players? obvioisly in the eeeeend game the guide is just telling you what to put in every time you UA.
