'd have to think some more about speedup stacking but I don't know anything about the adjacent field bug.
Check. If you think of something, that might shave 2-3 minutes, maybe more.
Congrats on the WR today!
Thanks! More to come :-)
Manipulating savefiles is actually quite easy to do. The webapp we use for convenience sake is linked in the guide, as you probably saw. You can just buy a santa hat, and then look at the node it represents in the data. Maybe there is a number that can be incremented or something to find extra gear. If you have invalid data (because the item does not exist), the game has a fallback, so nothing breaks.
You can actually get gear for much higher levels this way (that is useless in the normal game of course), like lv46+ weapons and such. Might be possible that there is more to find.
Hey, thanks for letting us know! We have a discord as well if you want to drop by: https://discord.gg/kuRprgrC
I didn't know about this exp glitch actually - a shame that it doesn't work anymore.
We have a few glitches we don't understand yet - do you know anything about stacking speedups and the bug where you cannot go into adjacent fields anymore?
