Editing Ranks

{{Actions and progression sidebar}}
'''Ranks''' are the core way your account progresses. There are {{GameValue|actions.ranks.totalRanks}} ranks, from Peasant at the bottom to God at the top. A higher rank raises your [[Actions|Work]] pay, and reaching certain ranks lets you unlock new features.

{| class="wikitable"

| BC for each rank

|-

|-
! Affected by

|}

== What a rank does ==

Your rank number is multiplied straight into your [[Work]] earnings. At rank 21 your Work pays 21 times the base amount. Ranks are therefore one of the biggest long-term investments for BC income. Ranks do not change what [[Loot Actions]] give. See [[Boosts]] for how the Work multiplier is made up.

== Ranking up ==

Ranking up costs BC.
* The cost of each rank rises along a steep curve. God is the only rank that reaches the top cost of 200 million BC. Every earlier rank costs less.
* Each [[Ascension]] Tier makes every rank cost more. At Tier 1 each rank costs twice as much as in the first climb, at Tier 2 three times as much, and so on.
* You can rank up several ranks at once if you can afford them.
* The '''Tier / Rank''' control sets a destination to climb to. Use Tier 0 to aim at a rank in your first climb, before any Ascension. The destination must be ahead of your current progress.
* The [[Nepotism]] [[Prestige]] perk lowers rank costs by up to {{GameValue|actions.ranks.nepotismMaxDiscount}}% at its top level.

== Feature unlocks ==

Reaching a rank or Tier makes you eligible for a feature. Then you open the feature's page and press '''Unlock'''. An unlock is kept for good, even after an [[Ascension]] sends your rank back to Peasant. After you Ascend, every rank requirement counts as met.

Pages are shown step by step. A page is revealed only once the one before it in the table has been unlocked, and the next locked page is shown as a preview. The Market is for Main profiles and the Supply Depot is for Ironman and Hardcore profiles. Hardcore profiles have no Factions or Ball Pit, so those steps are skipped. See [[Profile Modes]].

=== Selling Items to climb ===

For [[Farm]], [[Pets]], [[Factions]], the [[Market]] and the [[Museum]], your first climb can be funded partly by [[Items]]. Instead of paying BC only, the rank-up window can count the value of your inventory and sell Items at their base value to cover what you are missing, but only while you are still short of that feature's requirement.

== The ladder ==

The ranks, in order, are: Peasant, Farmhand, Mason, Recruit, Ensign, Soldat, Captain, Admiral, Warden, Chanticleer, Governor, Viceroy, Count, Earl, Duke, Magistrate, Colonel, Commander, Knight, Dandy, Aristocrat, Kingpin, Agent, Baron, Attache, Minister, Chairman, Khagan, Taoiseach, Politarch, Marquis, Liege, Sovereign, Dauphin, Primor, Consul, President, Ruler, Technocrat, Herald, Sentinel, Evincor, Legate, Arcanus, Spirit, Legend, Harbinger, Archon, Enlightened, Paragon, Quaesitor, Prophet, Riftwalker, Postmortal, Avatar, Eternal, Divine, Deity, Demigod and God.

== How Ranks connect to other features ==

* [[Actions]]: rank multiplies Work pay.
* [[Ascension]]: God is the last rank, and Ascending resets your rank to Peasant.
* [[Prestige]]: Nepotism lowers rank costs.
* [[Items]]: early climbs can be helped by selling Items.
* The feature pages above each unlock at a rank.
