Prestige and Zone inputs

Decide when to press Prestige and how long until the next biome unlock. The starting values are an illustrative worksheet; replace every value with the current UI or a deliberate what-if.

Build a Prestige timing scenario

This tool starts with a timing question: at your current measured Gold/second and current Prestige points, is the next reset worth the wallet reset, and which Tier-I node pays back first? It then projects a time-to-target-zone forecast for Dark Forest (6,000 Gold), The Beach (100,000 Gold), and the inferred post-Beach band. It does not contain an official Tier-II-and-beyond Prestige cost ladder, official boss HP values, or an official offline payout rate.

Use the current game UI or a controlled before-and-after observation for every field. The illustrative starting values exist only to make the interface operable.

Calculation outline

The post-Prestige Gold/second is the multiplicative product of every Tier-I node you would buy at the next reset:

GoldPerSec_post = GoldPerSec_current * Π (1 + delta_i * levelsAfter_i)

For Tier-I nodes, the deltas are: gold_i = 0.5 (x1.5 Gold), damage_i = 0.2 (x1.2 hero damage), luck_i = 1.0 (+100% Luck), roll_speed = 0.05 (compresses the roll cool-down). Each node costs 1 Prestige Point.

The crossover minute is:

crossoverMinutes = currentGoldBalance / (GoldPerSec_post - GoldPerSec_current)

The decision rule:

  • prestige_now when the crossover is below the play-time horizon OR the soft-gate fires.
  • farm_N_minutes when the crossover is between half and one horizon away.
  • hold_for_target_zone when the crossover is far past the horizon and the player has not yet reached the target zone.

Soft-gate trigger

The soft-gate fires when ANY of these is true:

  • killTimeSeconds > 5 (the current biome is too slow to clear).
  • currentGoldBalance < nextUpgradeCost * 0.10 (the wallet is too thin to spend on a permanent upgrade).
  • The player is already at the target zone AND goldPerSec < 10 (no further income growth available locally).

The calculator returns prestige_now whenever the soft-gate fires, regardless of the crossover minute.

Reading the rank

The rank is sorted by horizon Gold gain descending. With a 4-hour horizon and a single Prestige Point to spend, the typical top pick is Prestige Gold I for the immediate x1.5 Gold multiplier. With two or more points, Prestige Roll Speed enters the top three because the cool-down compresses the entire session.

Spend-before-Prestige banner

Prestige resets the current Gold balance to zero. The calculator surfaces a red banner whenever currentGoldBalance > 0 AND killTimeSeconds < 5 (the conventional pre-Prestige signal). Spend that Gold on the Upgrade & Luck Scenario tool buy queue first, then press the Prestige button.

Zone forecast

The zone forecast converts your measured Gold/second (and the recommended post-Prestige Gold/second) into hours until the selected target zone’s entrance cost is in the wallet. The default band is:

  • Dark Forest at 6,000 Gold (verified entrance cost).
  • The Beach at 100,000 Gold (verified entrance cost).
  • post-Beach at 1,000,000 Gold (inferred; the developer has not published this band).

If the current zone and the selected target zone are the same, the calculator pivots to a pure Prestige timing forecast and hides the zone forecast panel.

Limits and confidence

  • All Gold/second, kill time, current Prestige points, and target zone values are player-entered.
  • Zero goldPerSec produces crossoverMinutes = Infinity; the calculator returns hold_for_target_zone and surfaces a warning.
  • The x2 Offline Earnings gamepass multiplies only the offline stream; the active combat stream is group + VIP only.
  • The post-Beach band is inferred and not developer-published; treat the cost as a model input, not a game constant.
  • Tier-II and beyond Prestige nodes are not modeled; their costs and per-tier multipliers are not published.
