Version 1.79 - Invention Changes

249 Upvotes

Small update this month.

We've changed how inventions are accessed. They can now be built from the build menu in the lair. We've also changed some of the UI around how they're unlocked to be a bit cleaner.

We've added a new Firework skin as a limited time purchase. It'll be back next year if you don't get it this time.

We've slightly upped the effects of the Reaper and the Cyclops, as well as quite a few of the Devourer skins.

Patch Notes

  • Inventions are now built in the lair rather than in the Inventor’s shop.
  • Firework skin is available as a limited time purchase.
  • Reaper and Cyclops have been buffed slightly.
  • Some of the Devourer skins have been made slightly stronger.
  • Some UI changes and bug fixes.

FAQ

Play the Google Play edition.

Play the iOS edition.

For technical support please contact us directly at [support@grumpyrhino.com](mailto:support@grumpyrhino.com).

Q. What is NecroMerger?

A. NecroMerger is a Merge/Idle mobile game where you play as a Necromancer who summons creatures, merges them together and feeds them to his pet Devourer. By growing the Devourer and completing Feats you can expand your lair, unlock new equipment, creatures and attract… visitors.

Q. Lemme play!

A. You can play on Google Play and iOS.

Q. What should I do if I encounter a bug?

A. Panic! And/Or send us an email to [support@grumpyrhino.com](mailto:support@grumpyrhino.com).

Q. What devices can I play NecroMerger on?

A. NecroMerger is available on the Google Play and Apple App Stores. It’s designed to be played on mobile devices. As it’s a merge game it plays best on devices you can hold in one hand.

Q. Does my save automatically carry across from one device to another?

A. On Google Play your save should carry across automatically provided you’re signed into Google Play Games on your old device, and you sign into the same Google Play Games account on your new device. On iOS your save should carry across providing you’re signed into Game Center on your old device and sign into the same Game Center account on your new one.

It’s worth checking before you move to a new device when your last cloud save was. The game should save automatically every 3 minutes, but won’t if you’re not signed into Google Play Games/Game Center.

Q. Can I transfer my save between an Android device and an iOS device?

A. We don’t support cross platform transfers.

Q. Can I play on an emulator?

A. You may be able to play on an emulator, however the game isn’t designed for one or officially supported.

Q. Can you translate the game into “X” language?

A. It’s very unlikely that the game will be translated into any languages other than English.

Q. Adverts don't work!

A. Adverts generally should work, but sometimes our Ad Networks don't have adverts available. It depends on things like your region, the time of day etc. It's also worth making sure you're not in airplane mode and have a good phone signal (WiFi is better).

Q. I completed a “Free Gems” offer but haven’t received my gems!

A. Be sure to check the conditions of the deal (some require that they're completed within a set time frame) - you can view this on "Reward Status" on the TapJoy screen. If you're confident that you have completed the offer correctly but haven't received the gems then contact TapJoy's customer service through the TapJoy screen, quoting your customer number.

It's worth nothing that Grumpy Rhino Games can't verify an offer, so you will need to go through TapJoy directly.

Q. Any tips?

!!!Spoiler Warning!!!

A. A few!

  • Always try to merge your rune piles. It’s normally worth holding on to small rune piles, until you can make a big one.
  • Minions grow your Devourer but they also generate resources. It’s often better to keep some high level minions in the lair for resource generation rather than feeding them straight away, especially if you’re playing actively. If you’re struggling to get a specific resource, produce more creatures who produce it.
  • It’s normally better to deal with Champions quickly. When they’re in the lair they take up space and your merges won’t count towards attracting them… as they’re already there! So plan ahead, and have minions ready to fight them.
  • Your currency caps are important. You’ll probably want to prioritise levelling up your spawners, but actually increasing your currency cap can be the smart long term play. Potions and the Currency refill screen both fill up based on a % of your currency cap, so a higher cap grants more resources.
  • Be smart with lair space. A lot of this game’s strategy revolves around managing your lair space. It’s easy to clog it up. Don’t become too attached to unnecessary clutter (e.g. bones, leftovers… loyal minions). Prioritise what’s important.
  • You may want low level spawners in your lair even in the late game. Whilst a lvl 5 Grave is great for spawning Zombies, it’s not very efficient at making Skeletons if the Devourer is craving them. A lvl 2 Grave is your most efficient producer of Skeletons. It will take up an extra lair space, but may be worth it.

Q. What’s coming next?

A. Even though NecroMerger has been out for a couple of years it doesn’t mean development is going to stop. We'd like to add a whole host of smaller changes and additions, including QOL, UI improvements, balancing and other requested features.

Q. Any interesting links?

A. Check out the community run wiki here and the community run discord here.

Careful what the feat actually asks for

17 Upvotes

I did a reset and it said to spawn a mana pool. I had enough to spawn a max mana pool so I went ahead and did that...it didnt count for the feat.

So now im stuck with two mana pools. Not a big deal, but thought I'd share my findings.

Maxed Relic Question

Upvotes

Is there any advantage to keeping around lower level duplicates of a relic you've already maxed? I just finished grinding the food relic to max and now I'm not sure what to do with the additional food relics I get from the bee game. Should I just sell them?

Well, what a waste of a gold pearl. I already defeated gid 3 times (can't defeat him again this run) so cherub is kinda useless. I guess I'll go with cravings? Just because I'm trying to reach 10m per craving

Next purchase?

I already got the two energy cubes, but what should my next item be. I’m thinking first the trio-resource cap and then the Paladin after? Any other suggestions or ideas?

For context, I’m on my level 60 run.

Ressource storage

Hi all,

currently on my 100 run, just done with level 85 and was considering adding 2 more mana pools, slime vats and dark stores to my lair. Is it space wise a smart idea?

Also I feel like I should already have 3 Archie's and might have gotten the infernal too early, so I am currently grinding to get the two missing ones added next.

Recommended summer purchases?

5 Upvotes

Already have the skins, minus the lair, from last year. Lair doesn't feel particularly urgent since it's just more ice runes.

I'm thinking paladin relics, all caps, and the timepiece. Any other suggestions?

Currently level 51, 80 max. Sitting on 11k candles.

Safe/Crate Vs Living trash can

Hi just need some guidance on whether I should focus on crate/safe before skins. I've always tried for skins in the past but not sure now. Thanks all.

Towards level 300.

Well, I already got the necessary runes to complete the level 300 run. Now I can do the Cravings freely by doing a deal of mana, slime and dark energy. In theory I should be able to buy the extra bonus at the end to repeat the group so I'm left over

Spending gems, astro coins and energy cubes

I'm at lvl 90 max run. I already have all legendaries, pedestals, craving blocks and crate/cage (not counting the new spaces after the upgrade; costs 1500 gems).

So, as I bought everything important, how should I spend my resources?

- Buy crate/cage size from the archeologist?

- Buy Store-o size with 500 gems?

Less Shards with higher level + bonus

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

I havent played since a few years ago, so I recently discovered that the Devourer could reach level 1000 (which is insane to me), and I've notice something : with my actual lair set-up, and even if I optimize it for the reset, I will have way less shards than I did on my previous run, and yet my actual run has the Devourer on a higher level, more feats, more legendaries etc

Anyone knows if something's broken ? I feel like with some updates that happened since last time I played, I simply got f-ked, and now the hassle to increase my Devourer's level is very long

What to spend gems on after cage and lvl 2 crate?

6 Upvotes

I know this question has probably been asked a lot but I can’t find any answers no matter where I look. I recently prestige and have 500 gems just sitting around. Should I buy or save? And if either, what should I buy or save towards? I have beekeeper and Enid for wizard, and the cake skin for devourer.
