Entering day three of my journey, I have decided that it would be prudent to keep track of my progress while I still can. To whomever finds this, I can only pray that it is not pulled from my freshly slain carcass. The Cosmic Prestige is certainly taking its toll on my senses.
Day one was easier than I was made to led brought made to believe... The dreaded ten to twenty push was less arduous than I was warned of. Even the rough approach to mount Omega was simpler than I was worried about. But it was there that I made my first mistake.
The path through the temporal anomaly of the eternal Midtown Monday has indeed been rich, but I forgot to heed the most prudent advice. Never leave the anomaly too early, lest her rewards find themselves locked away from you. Upon cresting Mount Omega, I immediately took my leave of the Eternal Monday to take stock of my new strength and better apportion my supplies. My initial boosts had been wearing off as well, so a break seemed prudent.
Little did I know that the choice would slow me considerably. The coffers that had been bolstering my journey were sealed. To open them, I've had to turn to the quests of legend. Their rewards are substantial, but compared to Midtown, they come slowly and without fanfare. I spent much of the last day following the paths of legend, in the hopes of returning to Midtown once more.
In an effort to conserve my strongest boosts for the hardest part of the journey, I've chosen to ration them. My gains have slowed to a crawl. Equipping myself has been easy, in part because of all of those glowing pieces of cake that I've been finding. In hindsight, however, devouring cake that I find strewn amid broken bodies is probably not the wisest course of action. Only history will be able to validate me or ensure that I am known as a fool, however.
Today. I find myself staring at my provisions and despairing. I have many, many potions to last me quite some time, but my supply of bars have dwindled to one each of Iridium and Experience. Do I dare to devour them as I journey once more into the Eternal Monday, or would doing so return to haunt me? I sit at level thirty nine, the precipice of hopelessness and the last light before the long slog to sixty. I have but one Winter Boost, Omega Boost, and Cosmic Penta Boost to last me through the final part of my journey. If I imbibe them now, I will be bolstered, but if I cannot take full advantage of them, they will wear off when I need them most.
Faced with uncertainty, I resolve to press on! I shall use what remains of my fading boosts in an effort to press through to forty-four in the Eternal Monday before I turn to the boosts and the legendary quests for the last leg of my journey.
Pray for me. I know not if I shall see the end.
TL;DR
Cosmic's going about how I expected, but man, it slowed down after thirty. I'm finding Midtown Monday to be a little more rewarding than Legendary Quests in terms of frequency of rewards and breaking the monotony, but I don't know if that's going to last, and I've only got one more set of the good boosts to get me through to the end.
I don't know how people do this without experience buffs like this!
