Leafscensions

Unlocking

Leafscensions are unlocked along with Relics. Ascended leaves are the main source of Relics' power.

Leafscensions to Level 1 require 1e300 leaves of matching type and cannot be changed. Leafscensions to Levels 2-6 require basic amount of 30 leaves of the previous tier and can be reduced with Sealo, Leafscension Leaf, and upgrades from Gem Shop, Sacred Shop.

Strategies to Leafscend

Pre Energy Belt

Pre Energy Belt Leafscensions are not recommended to farm, but rather to obtain passively whenever you have enough to . But if you still would like to farm them:

Requirements

Unlocked Emerald Leaves Seeds, Emerald Leaves offline seeds upgrade up to 331, Sealo.

AFK

On new MLC (or if you have farming certificate locked). Turn off automatic ascends, you should have at least 1e17 of each gem leaf. Turn off crunchy seeds lite in MLC Coin shop. Unlock farming certificate and level up only celestial seeds. After that get a shovel and get to the Dark Glade. That method yields 1 Level 1 Celestial Leafscension each minute + materials from the Dark Glade.

You also might keep all seeds unlocked but it is going to yield less Leafscensions per minute.

Active Method

This method uses 30-minute timeskips, bought from the Gem Shop. It yields 1 of every level 1 Leafscension every ~30 seconds.

1. Have maxed seeds and all Mulch Shop seed upgrades.
2. Get at least 1 of each leaf (see below).
3. Use a single 30-minute timeskip. This will give you 1e300 leaves.
4. Perform Leafscensions.
5. Repeat from step 2.

While doing this, you can also trade for gems to acquire more time skips.

To get to 1e300 leaves per skip, you need to start with at least 1 leaf. To get them you can either:

• Use the Seed Bag artifact (as picking up a seed gives at least 1 leaf).
• Gem Leaves: Use Vortex while your max floor end in 1 (which takes you to the previous boss floor, which ends in 0).
• Ancient Leaves: Kill a Nebula Boss or do a pyramid floor.
• Moonstone / Sand: Use a shovel and dig them up (using auto dig from the Gem Shop is recommended).
• Open Chests.
• Waiting for an offline reward in an offline area will also give 1 of each gem leaf.

Post Energy Belt

Unlocking Energy Belt allows obtaining the Leafscension Exploit artifact, which massively increased the effectivity of Leafscensions, as well as completely changing the way of farming it.

Requirements

In order to use a Leafscension Exploit for a level 6 Leafscension, it requires getting the level 125 Cursed Cheese milestone. See how to achieve that here. Additionally, you should have 1 minute artifacts cooldown. To get that, try to get most/all of the upgrades listed here.

Guide

Make sure to brew Legendary Relics throughout the guide, so you'll max them at the end.

While there are 24 different leaves available for leafscensions, 11 of them provide 5x the damage. Those being Celestial Leaves, Obsidian Leaves, Benitoite Leaves, Ancient Leaves, Amber Leaves, Amethyst Leaves, Emerald Leaves, Kyanite Leaves, Rhodonite Leaves, Ruby Leaves and Tektite Leaves.

Since Leafscension Exploit works ONLY for the leaves you can already leafscend (because you have enough leaves), pick 5 of the leaves above (doesn't matter which) and turn on autoleafscend for the rest of the leaves (the ones you don't want, including the rest of the 5x damage leaves which you didn't pick). Now, use Leafscension Exploit until you get enough leaves for a level 2 Leafscension for any of the 5 leaves you picked. Turn on Autoleafscend for level 1 (e300 > 1) for the leaf you got enough of. Now, Leafscension Exploit will stop getting level 1 of that leaf, and start getting level 2 for it instead. Keep doing the same for the rest of the levels, with all 5 of the leaves, until you get enough level 5 Leafscensions for a level 6 one. If you have enough for a level 6 one, DO NOT Autoleafscend level 5. Get enough level 5 Leafscensions so you can Leafscend all the 5 leaves to level 6, but do not Autoleafscend them. You are done. Now, Leafscension Exploit will only get you level 6 Leafscensions, which is currently the highest Leafscension level.

Post Fire Fields

After unlocking Fire Fields, The Mines can be unlocked. After that, Leafscensions' cost can be reduced to a point where increasing the level of a leafscended leaf only costs 1 of the previous level (due to the synergy with Blossom item from The Mines, a milestone from Depth Drill, and Emberglide butterflies from Nature Season). Meaning 1 Level 1 leaf (L1) can be converted into 1 Level 2 leaf (L2) into 1 Level 3 leaf (L3) ... into 1 Level 6 leaf (L6) (1 Level 1 leaf = 1 Level 6 leaf, or 1:1). With enough of the lower Leafscensions, it is possible to get up to one of each of the 24 leaves L6s every ~12/13 seconds (the current maximum Leafscend speed), much faster than using Leafscension Exploit to get a single L6 every 2 mins.

Sealo and Leafscension Leaf provide a 29.6% reduction to Leafscend cost, the remaining reduction requires Emberglide butterflies (which can be buffed largely by Blossom items and Depth Drill depth). Remember to replant something to refresh bonuses after improving stats.

The following stats (and 6x 3000 roll nature dice and everything else that buffs nature/leafscend costs maxed) are a rough guide for the minimum mine progress needed for 1:1 leafscensions:

0 depth: 22/22/22 or 39/39/0 of the first 3 rarities of blossom mine item, 10 emberglide butterflies

50k depth: 51 of each rarity blossom mine item, 4 emberglides (69 kills/cycle with 6 moonblooms and 51 of each db mine item)

3.3mil depth: 57 of each blossom, 3 embers (151 kills/cycle with 7 moonblooms/57 of each db)

35mil depth: 60 of each blossom, 2 embers (337 kills/cycle with 8 moonblooms/60 of each db)

362mil depth: 60 of each blossom, 1 ember (1064 kills/cycle with 9 moons/60 of each db)

Planting moonblooms at the fields that are not occupied by the Emberglides is important due to EB bosses having a chance to drop leafscended leaves via the Death Book mechanic.
