7166137's blog: "Leveling"

This one isn't so bad, but if you know the tricks for doing the two requirements other than points, you can knock this one out quick.

CHANGE: The requirement for White Knuckler is gone, but I left it for historical perspective. 

The first time you look at your level 57 requirements, you'll see this.

After you polish your first Limited Edition Bling, you can turn on the White Knuckler display to see your progress. Note that it's each hour broken down in 30 minute increments. You don't have to match 30 minutes exactly, but you could polish one at 5:01 AM then the next one at 5:59 AM and they both count. Note, that only one is requiered during each half hour.

A little history about the White Knuckler. When level 55 came out years ago, one of the requirements was the White Knuckler. It was a THIRTY-SIX (36) HOUR THING. When I created this account, I saw this in the future, and couldn't imagine doing it, but people did. When I got to that level, it was reduced to TWELVE (12) Hours. Almost dumb luck, this is NOT an achievement, you cannot do it ahead of time. Fubar did its second change to leveling, by reducing it to SIX (6) Hours, and moving it to a higher level. I had the luck of having to do it again, but after 12, 6 was easy.

It's pretty straight forward, however with the new Limited Edition Polishing Achievements, needing 91,941 to complete them all, there are a lot fewer Limited Edition Bling to polish because (1) people polish whatever they cand find and (2) people lock their own bling polishing to either help their friends, or to play this like a business and trade the privelege of polishing for something else. As of the time I'm writing this, my polishing has been set to all friends for at least 43 days. Bet you won't see an achievement for that.

What if Fubar would create three achievements for White Knuckler and actually earn achievement points? Three Hours would get you 1 AP. Start back out at zero (Fubar's latest thing) Six Hours get your 10 AP. Start out again at zero and Twelve Hours get you 25 AP, then again start out at zero and 36 hours would get you the ultimate White Knuckler and 100 AP. Sound like something to suggest to the powers that be? Oh, and the caveat to this. Any bling you own, or have gifted canNOT be used for these. I like real challenges.

Double Bang is doing the 3 requirements for 2 people running Big Bangs at the same time. To find out how many people are running them, click on SEARCH then choose Big Bang on the left, or go HERE. You might see something like this. There are achievements for doing One, Two and even FIVE at the same time. The one in the middle was about to end, but the other two were still good.

I would open each of these profiles in separate tabs. To show this, I used separate windows so you can see them simultaneously (that's "at the same time" for you in Rio Linda). Note each one has three requirements. Rate Profile, Leave a Profile Comment, and Rate 10 Photos. If you have already done one or more of them, the red X would be replaced with agree Check Mark.

Once you do all three on one profile, the 10 minute bonus of 25% starts counting down. SO I would recommend you work from the bottom up on each. I rate 10 photos on each, then leave a profile comment on each. Then come back to the main profile page to check.

Rate Profile is the quickest, and doing it this way, you get the 25% Bonus (50% for two, or 125% for FIVE) for the whole ten minutes. Rate both profiles (Like is probably good to do too) then refresh. It will show the names of the profiles you got the bonus with, and a reminder to get more to reach the 125% bonus maximum for FIVE Big Bangs.

Now, when you go to any other profile, you will see the bonus running for this. I chose someone who was just completing the requirements for THIS Level, so I thought I would choose him, note his 3,000 likes and a 57 Level.
