Anti-Idle: The Game

A unique game about idling.

''''

Gameplay
Anti-Idle: The Game consists mainly of a small screen on the left that can be used for features such as the Garden, Battle Arena, etc. and a Progress Bar on the right. You can use the features while the Progress Bar fills, allowing you to progress and gain EXP and Coins. EXP allows you to level up and unlock more things to do in the game, and Coins can be used to purchase items in the shop.

To claim a reward from the Progress Bar, firstly, it must be fully filled. Then, you have to do anything, such as moving your mouse, clicking, or pressing your keyboard. Or, you can turn Idle Mode on and claim rewards automatically, but if Idle Mode is turned on, the Progress Bar will take longer to fill.

Facts and Trivia

 * Idle and Anti-Idle modes upgrades used to be purchased with Yellow Coins, not Green Coins.
 * This game apparently won’t get badges ever, because Tukkun says badges would make updating the game a nightmare.
 * When rings first came into the game you got them automatically, since loot drops were not implemented yet.
 * For the 1st of April of the 2010, Tukkun released the FCG game feature, that it was actually just a publicity of the game to come, the game is real he says.
 * Most uploads are meant to make the game more anti-idling than idling.
 * Each time you level up, the amount of Coins given by the illegal money printer will increase.
 * There was a "Did you know?" that says that Tukkun will never celebrate 1,000,000 plays. This was wrong because Anti-Idle hit 1 million plays and was celebrated with everything being 50% off in the shop and 1000 red coins for all and double exp/coin bonus. Later, he celebrated 1,666,666 plays with a permament upgrade to the "Mystery Point Upgrade"; increased from 50/5min. to 100/5min.

F.A.Q.
(The common questions will be added here; If you have a question that's not here, edit and add it.)

'''How do I use a weapon enhancer in the arena? I click and drag, but it won't work!'''

Since the Explosion update, what you would do is click on the enhancer you wish to use, then click on the equip that you want to use it on. You can't use an enhancer on something that is currently being used, but you can use upgrade an equip that needs time extended on it (broken).

I lost all my data, what can I do?

First, if you have a back-up, just use it. If not, just follow the instructions in the game that lets you have your exp, coins and some other things given back. You will lose some of the things you have bought, but its better than starting from 0. If you are a high level, you may want to talk with Tukkun or Juze; just don't rage about it. After you get your save file back, think about doing back-ups periodically.

How to do a back-up:

Doing back-ups of your save files is a pretty recommended action, even Tukkun recommends it. Since the game is updated almost daily, there's always the danger that some of the updates make save files corrupt or get lost. To do a back-up, first run a search for the file AntiidleX or AntiidleX.sol file. Once found, just copy it and put the copy in a safe place, like your documents folder or in your mail, just in case your computer is the one to stop working, or tell Juze to fix it.

I can't find my file antiidleX.sol:

In Windows XP, the search function finds it easily if you have checked the invisible folders, but if you have problems with search function - go here %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\(random letters/numbers)\chat.kongregate.com(if there is no such address - sorry).

In Windows Vista/7, check the next address, %AppData%\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\(random letters/numbers)\chat.kongregate.com.

In Macintosh, User>library>preferences>macromedia>flash player>#sharedobjects>(random letters/numbers)>chat.kongregate.com>antiidleX.sol

in Ubuntu, ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/(random letters/numbers)/chat.kongregate.com/antiidleX.sol

'''What are sets? And what do they do?'''

Sets were a special bonus that could be obtained after getting certain items. Sets were discontinued along with the bonus bar; Tukkun said that they were removed because the bonus bar was overpowered and it made the game lag too much.

How do I get the secret pet?

There are two known secret pets: Hubert, the (dead) fish and randomghost, the... ghost.

Hubert may be obtained at the Battle Arena Shop whenever the Time Machine is between 10%-25% ready. At this point, spend 9001 Pixels to enter the Time Machine and click on the fish skeleton.

randomghost is found on the World Map between 10pm and 4am. It only appears for brief intervals near the Secret Area (a cave). You will see a pair of glowing eyes and some motion; make sure you click on it before it disappears. Anti-Idle uses your system clock, so do not worry about time zones.

In both cases, you do not get Breaking News confirmation; however, Hubert disappears when you claim it (that visit only), and the randomghost hotspot disappears entirely once it is obtained.

Where do I get the VIP shop?

The VIP Shop may be found in the Shop submenu; however, you may not enter it until you reach level 200.

What does ‘Cheating Detected’ mean?

It’s self-explanatory, though, if you think it’s a wrong alert, just tell Tukkun.

Why did my tree expire?

Trees grow and expire when you are offline as well. Though, there’s a known bug in which refreshing has a TINY chance to make you lose your tree, however, it doesn’t seem to happen anymore now.

Why does the timer on my trees not decrease by a large amount?

If the game recognizes a large time discrepancy while it's open (e.g. you change the system clock, enter Sleep or Hibernate), the game will react by resetting the timer on the tree's harvest. At least it's better than before, where it stole trees for this.

'''What does the Ant Sprayer do? I’m still losing boosts!'''

See that guide

'''ARGH! This game sucks!'''

Hey, that’s not a question.

Can I submit my own items?

Of course!

LOL BETTING IN THE STADIUM IS MONEY BURNING LIKE HELL

You sometimes get ability points from betting though. Also, if you don’t feel lucky, don’t bet then.

Does the money printer work when I’m offline?

No. The same thing applies with Mystery Points.

'''WHY? My scores on the scoreboard got deleted!?'''

Sorry, it’s not me. I cannot delete highscores =( Probably some admins thought it was a cheating score. How about just submit it again?

What’s the point of Quick Attack?

It has barely any delay between attacks.

What will happen when my pet’s fullness reach 0%?

It will go back to your inventory. You don’t lose it, you just lose the chance to feed it.

'''LOL I bought a Mystery Box and got an item I already have. Fix please?'''

Not a bug. Sorry.

What is the max lvl monaters in ur bestiary can reach?

The max level is 6, which requires a lot of kills - 100,000 kills!

'''I started an account on my desktop, saved antiidleX to a flashdrive, and it's now on my laptop. How can I continue from where i left off from my desktop to start on my laptop?''' Copy the file and paste it in the chat.kongregate.com folder on your laptop.

How can i get anniversary and pixelated mystery boxes?

You cannot get Anniversary boxes anymore. You can get pixelated mystery boxes in the VIP shop with 1,000 blue coins, or 2,000 red coins.

'''Can I change the element of my weapon in battle arena? And if I can do that, what is the fastest way to do it? Can u buy those from the shop (if they exist) like u can buy weapon and armor enchaters?'''

Just get an element changing enchanter. You can't buy them in the shop but there is a special store where you can buy already enchanted weapons.

Helpful hints

 * Since getting 250000 anti-idle rewards can be very time consuming, you might want to speed up the process. The early versions of the game did not provide any opportunity to do this. Luckily, now there are many useful tricks. Firstly, never forget to shift to anti-idle when doing anything since it will claim rewards automatically as long as you merely click or move the mouse. This is particularly important when using the button machine as it tends to give you minor boosts. Secondly, when you start to stack some good green coins spend them on insta progress while anti-idling. All the insta progress counts as valid rewards. Try to combine this with epic skills, max boosts + temporary max boosts (bonus shop) and double exp/coins to get some awesome results. Finally, use the Battle Arena. Try to get the highest bestiary levels reasonably possible for monsters in one area (sky/polluted sky are good places with few types of monsters), level 5 (10000 monsters) or even level 6 (100000 monsters) are good. Get the Bestiary. Now you will be getting a progress bonus for every monster you kill. At level 5 it is 30% progress per foe. Now set your game on anti-idle and leave it alone. Progress bestiary bonuses stack as long as you don't claim rewards. That means that when you return, you will be able to claim multiple anti-idle rewards that you have earned while idling, similar to multiple insta-progress. The downturns of this strategy are obvious, though: you don't get any rewards while being away. Also, your boosts will have gone down, reducing your rewards, and you won't be able to get boosts before claiming, Obviously, this is a bad strategy for short terms. On the other hand, if you left the game working for a few days you would probably get hundreds or thousands of anti-idle rewards.
 * If you are low on coins, but you are too weak to fight in Pirate Ship Interior - go to Mystic Path (to get here, click the place in Pirate Ship where is a hole in ship's side), equip Laser Gun (incredibly high defense), turn on power buff (to deal 2s instead of 1s) and wear Protection Ring (Killer Lily has 700k attack, meaning that it's attack is equal to Chuck Norris's attack), then kill enemies. Mystic Path's boss, Supergem, has a default values of 15000 EXP and 30000 Coins, which are multiplied by buffs, boosts, bestiary levels and status("Too Weak", neither "Too Weak" or "Too Strong", "Too Strong" or Boss). Remember that e.g. 800% boosts gives a multiplier of 8, and e.g. lvl 1 boss has 160% to EXP/Coins, that means a 1.6 multiplier.
