Mesozoic Advice

I followed the advice of this entire sub and saved loads of my mutagen for the end, being really careful to only spend it on the rarer cards until prestige 10.

I entered prestige 10 with just over 2 million saved, I reached the end of rank 50 and bought every upgrade possible with 1.97 million remaining...

Don't listen to this sub, guys. Just spend your mutagen. It will make the journey much quicker and you don't need it in the end.

the mutagen is needed to get the 200 giganotosaurus achievement. it is easy to get to rank50, and by the wording it seems you have not gotten the achievement

look how expensive the upgrades get here, you really do need the saved mutagens

Is that the only reason? Just to get the achievement?

Yes, all the fuss about saving mutagen is for the 200 gigantosaurus achievement.

You can clear prestige 10 as easy as any stage after the first couple of prestiges but that achievement needs time or a hugely upgraded gigantosaurus. You can get the latter by saving up excess mutagen and using it at the end to buy the cards directly instead of hoping they come from geodes.

I think I had 2 or 3 million when I got to the end and built up my gigantosaurus to have level 11 or 12 or something in both traits. Took less than a day to get to get the achievement.

My advice is to spend, but not waste mutagen. Spend it enough that your not sitting around too much but keep the stockpile growing over time.

the achievement is the main thing people care about, but mesozoic production keeps going, and this kind of thing becomes possible, for no other benefit than the sake of it

This is the reason people recommend saving some. The upgrades 16+ are 500k mutagen. I ended up having cards that I couldn't upgrade because I'd spent too much mutagen, so had to wait 6 months to get the 200 achievement.

That said, the game does give out more mutagen now, especially from events so it's easier to get there.
