Editing Ascension

{{Actions and progression sidebar}}
'''Ascension''' is how you start over from the bottom of the [[Ranks|rank]] ladder in exchange for a permanent step up. You can Ascend once you reach God rank. Each Ascension raises your account '''Tier''' by 1, sends your rank back to [[Peasant]] and gives you [[Prestige|Runes]].

== Tier ==

Your Tier counts how many times you have [[Ascended]]. Tier 0 is your first climb, before any Ascension. Tiers are written in Roman numerals.

== What resets and what is kept ==

Only your rank resets. Everything else is kept across Ascensions, including your inventory, [[Pets]], [[Farm]], [[Relay]], [[Tools]], [[Quest Level]], [[Prestige]] perks and the features you unlocked. The BC cost of the Ascension is paid from your balance, and whatever remains is yours.

== Cost ==

* Your first Ascension is free.
* Every Ascension after that costs BC, and the price rises with each Tier. Ascending to Tier 2 costs about 1.65 billion BC, and each Tier after that costs about 550 million BC more than the one before.
* The [[Anointment]] [[Prestige]] perk lowers this cost by up to 50% at its top level.
* The next climb is more expensive too: every rank costs more at a higher Tier. Rank prices are multiplied by 1 plus your Tier. See [[Ranks]].

You can pick a destination in the rank-up window by choosing a Tier and a rank. The game then works out how many rank-ups and Ascensions it takes and what they cost, so you can plan several climbs at once. It stops at the last one you can afford.

== What you gain ==

* '''Runes''': {{GameValue|prestige.runesPerTier}} [[Rune]]s for every Tier you reach. Runes buy [[Prestige]] perks, and the [[Pyre]] also spends them.
* '''A bigger Work bonus''': your Tier adds to your Work multiplier. The first Tiers add the most and later Tiers add less each time. See [[Actions#Work|Work]].
* '''Feature unlocks''': the [[Prestige]] page opens at Tier I, and the [[Fun House]] opens at Tier V. After you Ascend, every rank requirement counts as met, so you can unlock any rank-gated feature you had not unlocked yet. See [[Ranks#Feature unlocks|Ranks]].

== How Ascension connects to other features ==

* [[Ranks]]: God is the rank you must reach, and Ascension resets it.
* [[Prestige]]: Runes and perks are the main reward.
* [[Actions]]: your Tier raises Work pay.
* [[Achievements]]: your Tier counts toward Achievements.
* [[Pyre]]: Runes can be spent there.
