Heh, the timing of the maintenance effectively cost me an amrita.

Do a bunch of 500 runs in the evening, when it gets late, exit out. In the morning, log on, use the money from overnight to get nymphs that'll get me to 1k no sweat while I'm at work.

Maintenance covered my morning quick log-in time. Doing a mess of 500 runs is still probably more important than chasing Amrita's at the stage I'm at, seeing as it slows way down after 500. Though admittedly with the gold boost off the table that may no longer be true. I'll have to think about that. Unlock as much as I can before my current boost runs out and I (probably) stop playing.
