This extended Revolution Idle Time Flux Guide incorporates Time Flux ROI and explains the math behind each recommendation. It aims to help you maximize Time Flux (TF) farming efficiency before the update, whether you are offline-focused or an active player.
Additional sections are included to address specific scenarios and provide clarity on units and values used throughout the guide.
Key Concepts Recap
Time Flux (TF): A resource earned both online and offline, depending on your upgrades.
Offline Flux (OF): Earned passively when you’re offline and the Offline Flux option is enabled. To activate it, go to the Time Flux tab and check the box in the Offline Flux grid.
TF Gain (TFG): The rate at which TF is earned per unit of time (e.g., TF per hour).
TF Capacity: The maximum amount of TF you can store at any given time.
Online Flux: TF earned while actively playing online, starting at TF Gain Level 9.
Recommended Strategies with ROI Analysis
Stop at Level 8 for TF Gain (Offline Players)
Why Level 8?
○ At Level 8, you achieve a 1:1 ratio of OF Gain to Real Time. For every hour offline, you earn an equal amount of OF.
○Time to upgrade to Level 8(TF gain and TF capacity): 2 weeks, 5 days, 2,6 hours.
Remaining time of the month:
Assume 1 month = 30 days.
If you spend 2 weeks, 5 days upgrading, you have approximately 11 days remaining.
In 11 days:
Daily TF gain: 24 hours × 36min/hour = 14h 24min TF/day.
○ Your TF capacity at Level 8 is 256 TF. Any overflow can be converted into useful resources, more TF farming or OF farming.
ROI for Level 8:
○ Upgrading from Level 7 to Level 8 costs ~50 hours for TF Gain and TF Capacity from Level 6 to Level 8 96 hours.
○ You recover this investment in approximately:
◘ 146hrs ÷ (14h 24min TF/day) ≈ 10 days.
◘ In 30 days(starting from Level 7 TF gain and Level 6 capacity) you will end up with 158 hours 24 minutes of TF.
◘ Note that you can also farm now efficiently OF as well and can store it.
◘ This makes Level 8 highly efficient for offline players.
KEY NOTE: Upgrading from Level 7 to 8 of Time Flux gain (from increase in TF gain only) 90hrs(cost) ÷ 1minute 34seconds(increase) ≈ 20 weeks, 3 days, 13,02 hours
Push to Level 9 for Online Flux (Active Players) – Starting from TF gain 8.
Why Level 9?
○ At Level 9, you unlock Online Flux, earning 1 minute of TF per hour online, equivalent to 1:34 Online Flux gain per hour.
○ This means that even while online, you continue generating TF at a reduced rate, allowing you to maximize both active farming and passive accumulation.
○ Possible when Offline Flux is turn on and Conversion Bar set to 100%
Time to upgrade to Level 9:
○ 2 weeks, 6 days, 13.61 hours.
Remaining time of the month:
○ After upgrading, you have approximately 14 days left in a 30-day period.
○ Online Flux contribution:
◘ Assume 4 hours of active play daily.
◘ Gain rate: 1min 34s TF/hour.
◘ 4 hours × 1min 34s TF/hour = 6min 16s TF/day.
◘ In 14 days: 14 × 6.28 ≈ 1hrs 27min TF.
ROI for Level 9:
○ Upgrading from Level 8 to Level 9 costs 32 hours of capacity and 90 hours of TF.
○ Offline ROI(20hrs/day):
◘ You gain 12hrs 32min TF/day, so ROI offline is:
◘ (122hrs ÷ 12hrs 32min TF/day) ≈ 9.73 days.
○ Online ROI(4hrs/day):
◘ Adding 6min 16s TF/day for online play:
◘ (122 ÷ 6min 16s TF/day) ≈ 1169 days!
○ Total ROI:
◘ Total: 12hrs 38min 16s TF/day for online play:
◘ (122 ÷ 12hrs 38min 16s TF/day) ≈ 9.66 days!
○ ROI is significantly longer than Level 8.
○ ROI when playing online is hilariously longer
KEY NOTE: Upgrading from Level 7 to 8 of Time Flux gain (from increase in TF gain only) 154hrs(cost) ÷ 1minute 26seconds(increase) ≈ 38 weeks, 2 days, 11.97 hours
Focus on TF Capacity if Reaching Limits
When to focus on TF Capacity?
○ If you find yourself frequently hitting the capacity limit (e.g., 128 TF at Level 8), it’s better to invest in capacity upgrades than pushing for higher TF Gain levels.
○ Higher capacity allows you to stockpile TF without worrying about overflow.
Capacity Upgrade Example (Level 7 -> Level 8):
○ Cost: 64 hours of TF Capacity.
○ Benefit:
◘ At Level 8, you generate 14h 24min TF/day offline.
◘ With a Level 8-capacity upgrade, you gain 128 extra days of storage.
◘ This eliminates the need to log in frequently just to empty the TF bar.
AD’s impact on TF gain.
Why to watch ads?
○ By watching AD’s you generate 6 min of TF per 5 min. The AD’s are capped by limit (Estimation – after 3hrs of TF gained you get ~ 8hrs wait time before limit ends).
○ This means that even while online, you continue generating TF at high rate of 1hr 12min/hour, allowing you to maximize TF gain. In comparison at level 14 TF gain & 10lv shop you generate 1hr OF and 12min 36s TF.
W/O shop upgrades you achieve it at LV 18 of TF gain which costs 2257 hours = 13 weeks, 4 days, and 17 hours.
How to watch ads?
○ You can switch from Steam ver. to mobile -> revo-guides
○ Don’t want to switch to phone? -> Consider emulators: Nox, Memu, BlueStack and many more.
TF gain 8 and AD’s revenue 24hrs and 30-day period:
○ AD’s contribution:
◘ Assume 3 hours of TF daily.
◘ Gain rate: 1hr 12min TF/hour.
◘ 3 hours ÷ 1hr 12min = 2.5hrs of watching ads.
◘ In 30 days: 30 x 3hrs = 3 days 18hrs TF (3days 3hrs of clicking AD’s)
Offline Contribution:
○ 24hrs – 2.5hrs = 21.5hrs/day
◘ You gain 12hrs 54min TF/day || 16 days and 3 hours/30days
Total:
○ 12hrs 54 min + 3hrs = 15hrs 54min/day
○ 15hrs 54min/day x 30 days = 19 days, 21 hours
KEY NOTE: You can get more TF/day after limit ends, so the revenue from watching AD’s is better
By gaining 6hrs from ads (If AD’s limit won’t hit):
○ Offline: 24hrs -5hrs = 19hrs/day | Gain: 11hrs 24min/day | 14days 6hrs/30days
○ Total: 17hrs 24min/day | 21 days, 18 hours/30days
4.1 Is AD free package worth it?
Is AD free package worth it?
○ If you get tired by watching AD’s and have 11$ to spare – it is fairly cheap price to never get an AD in Revolution Idle
If you don’t watch AD’s but you are considering buying TimeFlux:
○ 11$ worth of Time Flux = 1 day 2hrs of TF (50k souls = 19.99 $ = 48hrs of TF)
○ ROI (assuming 3hrs TF/day from AD’s)
○ 26hrs/3hrs = 8days 16hrs – It’s basically a 9th Day in which you profit from this investment vs buying TF.
4.2 Theoretical Min-Max of TF gain (TF gain 8 /w ads) No AD free Package:
You gain 3hrs of TF/day from watching AD’s – Each AD (ranges from 15 to 60 seconds) takes in average 30s.
Assuming you open the game to watch AD, Spend 30s on watching it, close the game(save & exit just to be sure) = 40s Online.
○ 3hrs TF = 30 AD’s | 3040s = 20min Online
○ 24hrs – 20min = 23hrs 40min Offline
○ 24hrs 20min / 24hrs 14hrs 24min = 14hrs 12min | Offline Gain
○ Total: 14hrs 12min +3hrs = 17hrs 12min/day | 3weeks, 0days, 12hrs/30days
