(Problem solved) Userscript that shows what kanji are needed to progress

[bridgeidk]

Hello, before now I have seen details of a script that tells you which kanji are “attached” to the other kanji in your current level but I can’t find it any more even though I went through the entire API apps list twice ;-;

Hopefully that makes sense… what I mean is you know how when you learn radicals most of the time you will need to get them to guru to unlock the kanji they are part of, but sometimes you learn one that will not be in kanji on the current level. So what I am looking for is something like this but for kanji, where it tells you if you must get a certain kanji to guru level in order to unlock another kanji on the same level. I could swear I’ve heard of one…

If you have any ideas or know please tell me

Kanji that unlocks kanji? That’s not a thing, or am I not understanding what you mean In order to be unlocked, kanji only depends on radicals. Kanji influences your leveling up: the moment you get 90% of kanji from your current level to Guru at least once, you level up.

Ohh my mistake! Sorry I am so tiered ;-; I must be thinking about a long time ago when I accidentally messed up some radicals and kanji on the same level and it took me 9 days to complete level 4, I guess I thought it was based on kanji as well ;-;

I get it now thank you haha

Haha, no problem. It happens

Here’s a quick explanation of the whole thing

My Journey of 368 days (+ The Ultimate Guide for WK )

The 2 types of levels on Wanikani

• Normal levels, where the fastest speed to level up is 6 days and 20 hours (~7d).
• Fast levels, where the fastest speed to level up is 3 days and 10 hours (~3d12h).

The fast levels are 1, 2, 41, 43-44, 46-47, 49-60.
The normal levels are all the ones left and represent most of your WK journey (41 levels total).

If you’ve read How Do I Get More Lessons? you’ll know that “guruing” radicals from x level will unlock the lessons of kanji from that same level, which then will lead you to “guru” those kanji and unlock vocabulary from this same x level. In order to level up, it’s necessary to have “guru’d” 90% of kanji from a certain level at least once.

Usually right after leveling up, you’ll unlock all the radicals and the 1st batch of kanji from that level. This is the Part 1 of normal levels. Once you “guru” the radicals and unlock the remaining kanji lessons (2nd batch), you start with the Part 2 of the level. Eventually, you’ll reach 90% of “guru’d” kanji and level up, just to start this process all over again.

This is where the difference between fast levels and normal levels is. Fast levels are levels that unlock more than 90% of kanji right after you reach that same level. There are no two parts. All the radical and 90%+ of kanji lessons can be done after leveling up. This is why you can do them in half the time. Be careful however, fast levels are just as intense as normal ones. Just because you can do them in half the time doesn’t mean that you should.

Oooo very useful thank you, I had no idea about fast levels, now I have something to look forward to
