In this video I go from recursed back to level 16 in 11 hours.
This was a group effort with collaboration from two main agents and two more lending a hand also.
We hacked over 4,000 keys in 10 days in preparation for this. I used over 200 Softbank Ultra-Links, 100 viruses of both colours and plenty more kit besides.
Hopefully, this gives you a bit of inspiration and the drive to set up something similar for yourself.
Good luck!
love the concept of field engines. never thought how to best utilize the Jarvis Virus, in my case. now with a little planning i can stay on one side of town and get a crazy amount of AP during the events ... i hope, hehe. can't wait to put this into action. thanks for the videos.
I hope you’re able to as well - we certainly hold onto as many viruses as we can for events like the current one. Best of luck!
so great bro，respect🙌
Awesome, thanks!
Although I'm recently a level 14 player (I got that level yesterday since I was stuck in lvl 13 for more than 4 years and I haven't done any recursion yet) this video has given me some inspiration to get the lvl 16.
BTW, I'm an old school ENL player with founder badge who has played Ingress since this game was a closed beta app 10 years ago and things like this never cease to thrill me.
That’s awesome - being part of the Beta! I always look at the founder medals with envy… and I’m sure you’ll make it to 16 soon. Hopefully you’ve got someone to help you out with all the key farming…
Remember the days when VR items used to replicate?
@@LessThanJessLTJ Yes. I clearly remember that VR items were somewhat easier to get, including the Jarvis and ADA viruses (these viruses were somewhat obtainable in the old days using glyph hacks)
Yeah - it took a year’s worth of trading and hacking for the viruses in this video… if only they still replicated. I still hack a fair few I guess.
well done
Thank you! It was a big group effort…
Great video, watched all the way through :) am wondering- when farming for viruses, do you bother with ITO- or do you stick with regular portal mods? am curious as to if ITO- farming would be beneficial for something like this? 🤔
We stick to standard hack mods when setting up portals. We’ve done quite a bit of experimentation with ITOs but viruses are still so rare that it’s inconclusive as to whether they boost output at all… It looks marginal.
However, a lot of the viruses are gained through trade. We all play the game differently and while we prize viruses, other agents are happy to trade their spares away and we have tons of everything else.
Thank you for the comment : ) really appreciate a bit of feedback.
@@LessThanJessLTJ Thanks for answering :) and yes that makes sense with the trading! am assuming you'll be looking forward to the upcoming toast event in regards to resource gathering for your future projects 😆👍
Yeah inventory management is going to get interesting…
That's was crazy bro
Yeah, not something I’d be able to repeat for a long while…
Wow amazing work man, good job :) you have good friend and very good farm portal. How many l8 portal in this area?
Yeah definitely - always helps to have dependable friends to collaborate with. I wish we had more P8s - we get hit pretty often after lockdown. Really easy to get back to P7s at the moment and we hack so much we don’t struggle for mods. Most of the P8s have been destroyed though - we have a handful scattered around in more obscure parts of town - not very useful alas…
Awesome Video!
Just a question, How long does it take a portal to neutralise after being captured?
Thanks for saying!
A portal takes exactly 7 days to decay assuming you’re not under a field. Sometimes this gets interrupted when they mess with Machina and you have to reset the entire thing.
what a feat!
Yeah a lot of effort. It was a while back now - we still have plans to beat that some day…
have literally never played and understand nothing but this is sick
Maybe you should start…
How do you skip the link animation to come up?
Either click on the next portal on the map or swipe to the next portal at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes (all the time) it takes you to the next closest portal rather than the one you necessarily want so you have to shuffle a bit occasionally but skipping the animation saves a lot of time.
This is really amazing! You keep talking about a decay engine...I'm new enough to not know what a decay engine is. Could you explain the decay engine?
Sure (there’s also a tutorial video on this channel that I made that does it better though). A decay engine is where you deploy on the portals and leave it to decay. Just before it decays (turns grey) you throw your fields. Those fields die when the portal decays and you can move onto the next portal about to decay. As for timing, portals decay gradually every 24 hours exactly. In exactly 7 days a portal will fully decay. That means deploying with careful timings will allow you to throw fields and have the field drop immediately.
The final thing to note is that to maintain a field, you need a minimum of three resonators on a portal. This means you can do all of the above without the portal turning grey by charging 1 or 2 resonators only. This will save you the mods as well as maintaining the timings when you first deployed.
Hope this helps.
@@LessThanJessLTJ ahhhh, so this is a possible solution to a lack of Ada/Jarvis? Otherwise you'd be using your stock to flip the portal when you're done and want to do it again?
@@kkimfaceYeah allowing portals to decay is a great way of saving viruses. Keeping 1 or 2 resonators charged allows the links to drop without losing the mods. It also means that the timing will be the same the next week so reusing is easy as well - just lots of key farming in-between. I did a couple of videos on decay engines also : )
I've done this but for 10 million AP in a double AP period. I used two softbanks instead for a total of 24 outward links per portal (no help from other players).
Yeah I imagine juggling all the items to do that solo would be pretty tricky - I was lucky to have lots of help. Nice job on the 10 million!
How do you know exactly when a portal or resonator is going to decay?
It decays exactly 7 days after being deployed currently - they’re planning on making a couple of changes to this in the not too distant future under certain circumstances.
@@LessThanJessLTJ follow up question when you charge a single resonator once or hit charge all once (not boost charge all) does that charge the resonators a certain amount like does it give them an extra day exactly or an extra 12 hours or something or is it more varied than that?
Like if I'm going to try to run a decay engine and I schedule it poorly and then I'm unable to do it at the time that it's going to decay would I be able to postpone it by charging my anchor once and still be able to know exactly when it will decay?
Good question - I wish it was possible to postpone by individual days like you’re saying but it pretty much isn’t. It depends on the level of the resonator as to how much a single tap charge (or a charge all) will recharge it. The lower level the resonator, the more it will be recharged. This means, if (as is probable) your resonators are a mix of levels, it’s pretty much not possible to recharge them to within the same decay date. The only way of resetting the decays engine entirely is to completely recharge everything and to wait a full week. This is useful for changing the day of decay or just giving yourself an extra week as something might have got in the way of fielding that day.
At the moment, decay works on a 24 hour clock so an extra 12 hours definitely won’t be possible. An upcoming change by Niantic will change the rate of decay when portals are under a field but it hasn’t happened yet so we don’t know how it will be affected. Hope this helps.
hi agent
Hi to you!
Details of items you used with QTY plzzz
Yeah sure, we used 252 Softbank Ultra Links, just under 100 of each virus, one fracker (for keys for an annoying portal), approximately 4,000 keys (this is how many we collected - the total links is at the end of the video - I picked up all the keys that dropped round a portal once I’d virused it but also had some to spare at the end) and obviously all the resonators and one shield per anchor portal. Also, 0 very rare battle beacons.
Hope this helps - it took a LONG time gathering all those resources. Viruses are always in demand here…
@@LessThanJessLTJ Thanks soo much for the details :)
You’re welcome.
Y en español ...
Wish I could speak Spanish and had the time to subtitle it - afraid it’s not possible for me alas.
So in all fairness, you are making level 16 in one day after weeks of collecting keys
Yep, if you’d like to think of it like that. And also about a year of collecting viruses… I still think it’s quite an achievement.
@@LessThanJessLTJ It is a very nice achievement. I think that its a more impressive achievement when considering the days and the patience and work that it took to achieve it. I think the title of the video kind of makes light of the what it took to actually accomplish what you did. Its a much more impressive accomplishment than the title would lead you to believe. The video actually motivated me to try to do the same thing. Its going to take me a few weeks to farm the keys and gather the viruses and ultra links.
Excellent stuff! Thanks for saying so. Using a year’s worth of viruses in one go seems unnatural. I hope it goes well and that you have other agents to support you. Would love to know how you get on.
So not really 11 hours then if it took you two weeks to farm all the keys and years to collect ADAs
Yep, if you want to think of it like that. I still think of it as an achievement though.
Could still be done in 11 hours if you had a dedicated team and people willing to donate inventory
Certainly, Ingress is great as a team game when people work towards a joint goal. We have a good many agents in town and all help each other out.
brooo ur gurdian badge
Yeah, unfortunately that one’s going to be permanently gold…
