Progression/Strange Science

Key Gem Upgrades

The only recommended Gem upgrade at the moment is It's Mine!, and even then, it is an optional upgrade now - however it becomes pretty essential around ⁠ Mythical Leaves.

If you own any Supporter Packs, you should also get All Leaves+ and Offline Profits +750%.

Strange Flasks - First Big Leaf Crunch

Prior to update 2.6.0, this section used to be a lot slower. Fortunately, we got the Shovel, unlocked for 50k (5e4) Gold Leaves in the Shovels tab of the Tools page. The shovel allows you to dig up any resource that you have produced at least one of, so the strategy is, through Converters, obtain at least 1 flask of your choice, then wait until your shovel digs it up, which should be more than enough to unlock the next flask. Keep in mind that the shovel reward scales off Combo and Leaf Value%, so be sure to get those up.

Once you unlock Black Flasks, you will notice that there is a shiny new prestige layer. No matter how tempted you may be, do not Big Leaf Crunch yet. Crunching for only 1-10 BLC Coins gives you nearly no benefit. Instead, unlock Strange Flasks and from there, unlock Exotic Leaves in the Strange Flasks shop and The Abyss in the Areas shop.

Now, go to your shiny new area and there, you will encounter Exotic Leaves. They are incredibly heavy, so get some Nuclear Fuel upgrades in your other leaf shops if you're having trouble blowing them off. Now, the whole reason we went through the trouble of unlocking Exotic Leaves - the BLC upgrades. Buy the BLC upgrades in the Exotic and Strange Flask shops.Once you have 10k BLC Coins, crunch.

First Big Leaf Crunch - The Celestial Plane

Before continuing on, these are some cheap upgrades worth your BLC Coins:

• More Converter Transistors (3/3) - This upgrade doubles your Converter speed per level.
• Fruit Magnet - This upgrade makes Fruit move towards you.
• Nuclear Apocaleaves (5/5) - This upgrade increases your Nuclear Fuel Power by +40% per level.
• ALB Tools - This upgrade lets ALBs equip your tools.
• Moar Gems - This upgrade increases your daily Gem rewards by 2.
• Area Teleport Bot - This upgrade automatically teleports you to the marked destination after Prestige. You should set it to The Void.
• Master of Leaves (Buy 10-15) - This upgrade increases Leaf rewards by 400% per level.
• What The Combo (Buy 10-15) - This upgrade increases Combo Multiplier by 200% per level.
• Prestige+++++ (Buy 10-15) - This upgrade increases your Coins reward by 200% per level.
• Increase Converter Output (Buy 10-15) - This upgrade increases Converters output by 1 per level (all Converters except "static").

Now, getting back to where you were should be extremely easy. Your main priority at this point should be getting more BLC Coins. The fastest way to farm BLC Coins is doing multiple quick 50k-100k BLC runs that shouldn't take too long, and thus give a higher BLC Coins/hr. If you prefer to be more idle, higher amounts of BLC Coins will work, but it will be less efficient. You should be looking to spend your BLC Coins on these upgrades, in order:

• Crunchy Coins (1/10) ( 400k (4e5) BLC Coins) - This upgrade allows you to keep your Coins (not upgrades) on BLC. It's a very powerful tool, but you can consider holding off buying it until you get Raccoono.
• Autobuy Priority Device ( 250k (2.5e5) BLC Coins) - This allows you to make use of Autobuyers. Before they were very hard to control and not worth it, but now they can be used. Optional for now.
• Offline Crunches (1/5) ( 1.5m (1.5e6) BLC Coins) - This upgrade gives you a percentage of your highest BLC Coins per minute offline. It is the best way to get BLC Coins.
• Offline BLC (1/50) ( 100k (1e5) BLC Coins) - This upgrade massively buffs Offline Crunches. Needs Offline Crunches to work.
• Unlock Pets ( 1m (1e6) BLC Coins) - This upgrade allows access to Pets, one of the most powerful tools. Note that this upgrade on its own doesn't do anything, it just unlocks a menu.

Pets you should unlock:

• Foxo( 2m (2e6) BLC Coins) - This pet gives +200% BLC Coins. Although additive with other sources, it is immensely powerful. In order to use this with Offline BLC, you are going to need to set a new highest crunch - equipping it and going offline does nothing.
• Raccoono ( 2m (2e6) BLC Coins) - This pet more than doubles Seed collection, and is almost necessary for seed farming.

The Celestial Plane - The Mythical Garden

Now, you should buy The Celestial Plane for 1m (1e6) BLC Coins in the Areas Tab. Now, you have obtained the ability to get Celestial Leaves - but you may realize soon that Celestial Leaves aren't spawning on the ground. Well, that's because you get them from killing enemies. It's recommended that once you unlock The Celestial Plane, go kill at least one enemy there for some Celestial Leaves (may need Bismuth / Cosmic damage upgrades) and buy ALBs Love Seeds for 5 Celestial Leaves.

From here, you have 2 options to progress:

• Use the Exotic -> Celestial converter for Celestial Leaves.
• Kill enemies for Celestial Leaves.

Exotic -> Celestial converter is probably faster, but with new additions like Squirrelo, both methods are pretty close in terms of speed.

Both of the routes ahead are going to be using Leaf Seeds. How seeds work is they give you a % of your current leaf count dependent on the level. Therefore you don't want to spend all your leaves on the seed, just a fraction of them. Spend this amount of your current leaf count on the seed upgrade:

Without Rainbow Leaf:

• Level 1: 100%
• Level 2-10: 10%
• Level 10-100: 1%

With Rainbow Leaf:

• Level 1: 100%
• Level 2-50: 10%
• Level 50-100: 1%

Before you start seed farming, make sure to turn off the Exotic -> Celestial converter as it drains Exotic Leaves incredibly quickly. Turn it back on once you have around a million times more than the input cost. Also make sure to turn off any Autobuyers, as it will drain your leaves if not capped.

Exotic -> Celestial Converter Method

Equip Raccoono and go AFK for a while - it should only take a couple hours to cap bags if you're looking at the game a lot. Now, turn on the Exotic -> Celestial converter and wait until you have enough for Unlock Mythical Leaves. Getting some BLC upgrades doesn't hurt as well.

Now, Prestige and set up your Autobuyer so that you only spend 0.01% of your Coins per reset. Try to set up a new highest crunch, and wait for Offline BLC to get you ~30m (3e7) BLC Coins, then buy Unique Leaves and some Greedy Uniques. Unlock Glitter, Ghost, Rainbow, and Robot at least, but try to unlock all that you can. Set up a new highest BLC by buying all the Exotic upgrades and dig for some flask upgrades, then wait for Offline BLC to get you 50m (5e7) BLC Coins.

Killing Enemies Method

Equip Raccoono and go AFK for a bit - you only need to seed farm until you can Prestige for a couple billion Coins. Now, Prestige and set up your Autobuyer so that you only spend 0.01% of your Coins per reset. Try to set up a new highest crunch, and wait for Offline BLC to get you ~30m (3e7) BLC Coins, then buy Unique Leaves and some Greedy Uniques. Unlock Glitter, Ghost, Rainbow, and Robot at least, but try to unlock all that you can. Having seed farmed, buy all the Exotic BLC upgrades, dig for some flask upgrades, and BLC to set a good highest crunch. Now, it's time to farm Celestial Leaves. Buy Squirrelo ( 2m BLC) and The Celestial Blower. Spend your leaves on Combo, Worthy Enemies, Marketing, BLC, and More Enemies - however the majority of your leaves should go towards Unlock Mythical Leaves. Wait for Offline BLC until you have 50m (5e7) BLC Coins.

Check this page for details on how to obtain all Unique Leaves.

An optional step would be waiting for another 25m (2.5e7) BLC and unlocking Mulch and Trading. Try to get some Mulch from Trading for ⁠later.

With 50m (5e7) BLC, buy the new area - The Mythical Garden. Congrats! You have finished this progression stage, and can now move on to Progression/Mythical.
