I just want to know if I really want to get into this... When I first opened the window I thought, hmm, cool, I eat candies and throw them on the ground. I had no idea what lay in store for me when I went to close the tab 4 hours later...
I started yesterday. The trick is that it's not an idle game -- it's a game that gives you a nice little something for having it on too. You really need to be actively questing, forging better gear, finding rare items, and generally improving your character, map, and tools. Any time you spend idle is time wasted.
For example, you can earn 500 candy from a chest in the peaceful forest without risk. Sure, it won't happen every time but it's a huge boost. A few levels later you can idly start quests and receive 2k candy for completing them every time. Then there are levels like the castle entrance that, once you have developed yourself a bit, can be idly started and can earn you 17-19k candy per run.
