## 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.
