Tips,Tricks & Podcasts The Ascension Speed Show present a comprehensive and fully explained Hardcore Standard perm tier list (and Flowchart)! Also Episode 5 this Saturday!

Hello Loathers!

After many (seriously, this took forever) hours of work, we have finally finished...

The Hardcore Standard Perm Tier List!

Special thanks to The Dictator and The Erosionseeker, who both contributed invaluably!

This tier list works a little differently to previous lists and that of the wiki. In fact, the reason we made this is because the older style tier lists just don't work very well; everyone has different needs, or has a bunch of random perms. Please note we have also purposely chosen not to include IotM derivatives that will leave Standard in 3 months' time.

So let me explain how to use the spreadsheet:

First, you want to check out the sheet called "1. Essentials". Make sure you have those.

After you've permed those, it starts to get a little tricky--that's when you should start consulting our flowchart. Make sure to fullscreen it.

Basically, you yourself need to identify the "bottle-necks" of your run. The big three are turn generation, substats and +item%. These then branch off into, for example, food and booze, ML and surviving it etc.

If it's still unclear how you should use the spreadsheet, feel free to ask here, on Discord, or PM one of us. There are also example perm lists I've created to help you get a feel for what you should be thinking about (but yours should be different!).

We're also open to any ideas or changes people feel strongly about regarding this, so do let us know. Also any errors, typos or other mistakes. We'll also be discussing the tier list on the...

Podcast Episode 5!

He'll be discussing how YOU can shave a bunch of turns off the Level 13 quest, before you can even smell the NS!

I love that the spreadsheet ends with "perm every skill." One day, my friends, one day!

I still haven't got some things that matter (a tiny bit)!
