Strategy 1 (Older)

You can't go past 1980 years. You need to cast Time Helix between 1980 years, 0 days and 1980 years, 364 days. Viewable from hovering over your character portrait; you're looking at the "Skipped Time".

Set the following spells in order, on reckless:

• Spell Focus (optional)
• Singularity Beam
• Temporal Distortion
• Generate Paradox
• Conjure Manabeast (you probably won't need this, leave it empty if you like)
• Wormhole (in your last slot)

Watch your character portrait tooltip until around 1950 years (about 90 minutes).

Take everything off reckless, and then do the last few Wormhole casts manually.

Note that Temporal Distortion uses Compressed Time, so switching it off reckless while it's at 10.00x can speed things up, and switch it back on again when it's between 5x-8x until it's back to 10x. You can do this easily with a slow double click usually.

Strategy 2 (Newer)

13-16 minutes to reach 1970ish depending on length of build up phase. You need to stop around this time because otherwise you risk going over 1980 years which results in the inability to complete the challenge successfully.

Max Spellcraft, Wisdom, Empathy. The rest I put in Mastery (11 points).

Start with Spellhound and reckless cast on Spell Focus, Singularity Beam, Wormhole, this will give you "speed", then use Ritual Of Power, Converge Timelines and Superposition to generate more mana.

For the very first seconds you need Temporal Distortion instead of Singularity Beam.

After lvl 120 in Spellhound you will be at saturation in mana generation, so switch to Interrogator and keep the same spells for additional income generation. Within seconds, swap to Archivist and do so immediately. At this point switch to the final spell configuration (all reckless):

• Spell Focus
• Conjure Manabeast
• Singularity Beam
• Generate Paradox
• Wormhole (last slot empty).

The more mana you have, the more casts of Beam, which means more casts of Paradox and Wormhole.

The buildup phase (up to when you switch to Archivist), if done properly, lasts just under 2 minutes.
