## Current Notes - Unlock next pet after kangaroo ## Things I Wish I Knew ### Just Starting Out - Get to level 100 so that you can use Ascension - Be careful about how many pets you unlock. In the next phase, you will want to ascend at the same pet as the first pet you ascended at. - Staff of Greed (unlocked at level 30 player damage) is great for getting more coins! - Holding it passively increases all your coin gains. - When you need to pick up coins, activate the staff, which makes its eyes glow. - This gives you an even bigger buff! - You can poke coins with your staff to pick them up. This means you can pick up coins while holding your staff on desktop. ### Ascension - My ascension upgrades - Super Pets level 1 - Because having a giant dog is cute - Ascension Gem Damage Boost level 2 - Increases your damage based on unused gems - Gacha Dimensional Storage level 1 - Don’t lose all your keys when ascending - Ascend as soon as you get to level 100 and reach your highest unlocked pet. - Each time you ascend at the same highest unlocked pet, your streak increases so you’ll keep getting more gems. - This should get faster as you approach ascension 25 if you stack up your gems. ### Astral Ascension > [!important] > Before your first astral ascension, spend all but 10 of your gems on any astral gem upgrades you want, then get one bloom with your remaining gems. - Astral ascension has layers, with the highest layer available to you based on what level monster you’re on and how many gems you have. - There are gem thresholds that give more blooms. For example, 10 gems gives 1 bloom and 100 gems gives 2 blooms at layer 1. - Astral ascension always costs a percentage of your gems, so if you are between thresholds, you will waste gems. - All of the astral ascension upgrades that say “1 hour” consume blooms and then last for one hour. - When you first start out you want to limit break your pets instead! - Each limit break multiplies the damage of your pet by 10. - Limit break costs the “e” number of that pet’s +damage +1. - This is also the number of digits in the +damage number. - A pet that does `+5.000 e 9 AD` damage will cost 10 blooms to limit break. - **Dog** is the best pet to limit break. - The unlock and level up costs stay the same. - ~~You can make it as strong as your second highest pet!~~ - It’s quite a bit weaker than my strongest pet now. - Astral ascension **does** increase pet streak if you ascend at your highest unlocked pet. #### Conversion Ratios - Layer 1 Astral Ascension will cost 90% of your gems - 1 bloom for 10+ gems. - 2 blooms for 100+ gems. (?) - Layer 2 Astral Ascension costs 99% of your gems and requires at least 100 gems. - Layer 2 astral ascension gives 3 blooms for 100+ gems. ## Resources - A guide I found on Discord - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gbsDf4PwzF7ZhudsPw9B5Q6uY63PSeTO41UtQSCGkI0 ## My Backup Saves - [[Idle Home Saves]]
