How to unlock the The Squirrel Savant achievement in Project Spark - Definitive Guide
First thing's first: This achievement glitches. However, Team Dakota put in a workaround. (They're REALLY awesome!) If Conker leveling doesn't unlock, play with him in Crossroads a few times. This was posted April 13: http://forums.projectspark.com/yaf_postsm308640_Achievement-...

1) Power leveling. This is freakish. I'm going to lay it out step-by-step in the spoiler box below.
I hope that made a lot more sense. Here's a video clip about what you should do starting at #5 on the list. Hope this clears things up.
The short version is that this isn't a guide to leveling yourself, but it WILL level you up a bit by leveling your characters. A LOT. Which is good since the servers are closing soon.
Yes, it really works.
You need to find a world called "FAST! Level all champions to MAX!". There are a few copies out there. The original is by Tr1ckstr360. The gist is that you use the brain in his world, go into Void Storm, replace a brain there with his brain, and then test the world. The XP will fly.
You should get these along the way:
and if it doesn't glitch,

2) Forum thanks
Either load up a second account, or find a boosting buddy. Download AutoHotKey (autohotkey.com). Right-click on Desktop => New => AutoHotKey Script
Replace what's in the file with what's in the spoiler box below:
Save the file, then click it to run it.
Now, go to the ProjectSpark.com Community forums. Make a post somewhere. (If boosting, your friend should to the same. If you're using an alt, log the alt into the forum.)
Place your mouse over the Thank button on your post. Start the script by pressing Alt-CTRL-R. (Press SHIFT to end the script. Note: the script may take a bit to actually stop working if it runs for a while.)
The mouse will click 10x/second on the Thank button. Let it run for a while. If you have Project Spark open in a second window, you'll see yourself level up every so often.
Note: the script may cause issues with your browser because it clicks so fast. If so, change the line "SetMouseDelay 100" to a higher number. The number is in milliseconds.
Hope this helps!

We were unable to fix the original achievements. Instead, we added an additional way of unlocking the achievements (playing through crossroads # of times). This kicked in yesterday. Glad to see them popping for people :)
Edit: I'm adding a second method for boosting XP. This is essentially the same post I have in the Level 50/45/40 guides. The first method is to level up characters. The second is a macro to help with forum thanks. (Potentially an extra 11,650 XP, around one level, if starting from scratch.)1) Power leveling. This is freakish.

This worked fantastically.

hm so my progress tracker says only 1, even though my conker is lv 20. another solution says that the conker level achievement requirements have changed to "Complete Crossroads 10/20 times with Conker." this would make sense because i only used him once so far to fight the crate of squirrels. i don't think it's actually glitched.

IMPORTANT NOTE for the Conker level achievements. This achievement and the level 10 achievement for Conker unlock late for most people. DON'T WORRY! It will eventually unlock in the following days. Mine showed at 95% even if I was lvl 20, then went to the "Done! Unlocking" state after 2 days, then truly unlocked after 2 other days (I was out of town ). The time stamp was set to the real date when I reached lvl 20.

This is a new solution post-update, now that Project Spark is totally free. Use this guide if you are done with the Void Storm campaign and are only left with grinding XP for characters. This guide is loosely based on SnD ACiD RAiN's guide, but I wanted to point out that the order in which you take actions is important. For example, if you build houses before completing the main quest, your hero won't receive any XP.
1. Start a Crossroads game. The starting setup doesn't matter.
2. Select your hero. You can set the difficulty to easy with .
3. Talk to the NPC, kill the invaders, and generate the ending lair. Put it close to the village to save time.
4. Reach the boss lair, and spawn the Fallen Ranger. This boss will randomly give 600 XP to 1200 XP during fight. Just hit him with and collect easy XP. You can expect 2-3 random XP "gifts" per fight, on top of the XP for the kill.
5. Go back to the first NPC and collect your reward. From this point on, all actions that require a decision on your part will grant you free XP.
6. Start by building the 3 blue buildings in the village. Each building should give 160 - 380 XP...this seems random. Build the Fortune Teller and make her tell your fortune for another XP gain.
7. Talk to both blue NPCs that grant side quests. Choose Observatory and Puzzle Stones.
8. Puzzle Stones is really easy and only requires you to read the sign and press the correct stones. Onyx=Black, Citrine=Yellow, Sapphire=Blue, Amethyst=Purple, Emerald=Green, and Ruby=Red.
9. Observatory gets you 2 XP gains. 1) Talk to the guy on top of the tower and press has your first answer. He'll give you the caged pet. 2) Look into the spyglass and drop the meteor. Now go see what fell from the sky to earn more XP.
10. After #5, anytime you come close to a blue house or NPC, you can at least trigger its quest to gain free XP. No need to complete the quest (note that The Kodian Beacon is quite easy).
There you have it! I hope it will help you get to lvl 20 faster! Good luck
Side note= When you level up, the game shows a huge amount of XP on your character. This is not a new XP gain. It's simply a bug.)

Flag changed and two people unlocked it today? Will have to boot it up tonight after work and see if mine changes from done unlocking...

I'm still stuck on "Done! Unlocking..." since January!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Some time in mid April 2016 Team Dakota changed the requirements of Seph and Conker leveling achievements. And thus at time of writing the other guides are out of date.
Although the description didn't change, the requirements are now COMPLETE CROSSROADS X TIMES WITH [Conker or Seph] where X is the associated level that used to be required.
Fastest way to do is similar to start of XP grinding solutions: Create whatever initial settings you want, then start the quest, defeat the 3 enemies and place the enemy base/goal as close as you can to your village.
Run over, choose 2 bandits or whoever you prefer.
I'd also say still use Fallen Ranger as I believe him to be the easiet boss and it'll gain you a chunk of XP for little effort (might as well).
Interact with the chest and return to quest giver.
Make sure you leave/exit using the portal that spawns otherwise IT WON'T COUNT
Rinse and repeat.
Evidence at: http://157.55.52.70/yaf_postst136194p10_Achievement-Bugs.asp...
You can also see the progress increase after each run.
EDIT: QuickMythrill noted that the respective lv 20 achievement may still require being level 20, as theirs only started tracking the runs after reaching it.
GOOD LUCK
(This is my first guide, so if you vote down please tell me why so I can improve it)

I'm glad that you both had the experiences you did. But I have no idea how many times I've used Conker for Crossroads but it wasn't 19 times yet my achievement says it's at 95%. I'm sure you can see why I'd be speculative. Not to mention, first had experience is not really a good source for anything unless you have many people getting the same experience, since one person's experience doesn't account for flukes or anything else. I do appreciate you taking my suggestion though Parker. I know that I trust solutions that can back up what they say, I.e video proof or evidence like this.

I'm totally prepared to follow this guide, but a claim like this could use a citation to back it up so we don't waste our time. I would hate to go through several crossroads for no reason. I'll check if this unlocks it for me later, but for now, consider finding a source for your claim.
