Noob Incremental Endgame

Introduction: Level 100 Is Only the Beginning

Congratulations on reaching level 100 in **Noob Incremental**! You might think the game is over, but in reality, the endgame content is where the most exciting and challenging features unlock. From prestige mechanics to artifact hunting, the post-level-100 journey is designed to keep you engaged for months. This guide covers everything you need to know to thrive in the endgame.

What Changes After Level 100?

Once you cross the level 100 threshold, several key features become available:

• **Ascension** – A hard reset that grants permanent bonuses.
• **Artifact System** – Collect and upgrade powerful relics.
• **Guilds & Multiplayer** – Join or create guilds for cooperative progress.
• **New Boss Tiers** – Face bosses with unique mechanics.
• **Endgame Crafting** – Forge ultimate gear.
• **Speedrun Mode** – Compete for the fastest clear times.

These systems interlock to create a deep progression loop. Your main goal shifts from simple number growth to optimizing synergies between these mechanics.

Prestige and Ascension: The Core Endgame Loop

How to Prestige

Prestige resets your level progress but grants **Prestige Points (PP)** which multiply your production. You can prestige multiple times, each reset requiring a higher level threshold. After level 100, the cost increases significantly. To maximize efficiency:

• Prestige when you hit a plateau (usually when upgrading your main resource takes hours).
• Invest PP into **Prestige Tree** upgrades that boost click damage, idle gain, or auto-production.
• Never prestige right before a boss fight – you’ll lose too much power.

Ascension: The Next Tier

Ascension is a deeper reset that wipes everything except permanent bonuses from **Ascension Shards**. To unlock ascension, you must reach level 150 in your first run after prestige. Ascension shards are earned by completing specific challenges:

• **Time Challenge**: Reach level 200 within 30 minutes.
• **Resource Challenge**: Accumulate 1e12 gold without spending any.
• **Boss Challenge**: Defeat the Endboss without using active skills.

Each ascension gives you an **Ascension Perk** – choose wisely. Recommended perks for endgame:

• `Eternal Click` – Click damage scales with max HP.
• `Auto-Ascend` – Automatically ascends when conditions met.
• `Shard Efficiency` – +50% shard earnings.

Artifacts: Endgame Power Multipliers

The artifact system unlocks at level 120. Artifacts are powerful equippable items that provide global bonuses. You find them by defeating high-level bosses or completing artifact-specific quests.

Artifact Rarity and Upgrading

Artifacts come in five rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary. Each can be upgraded using **Artifact Essence** dropped by bosses. Upgrading increases the stat bonus by a percentage (not flat), making late-game upgrades exponentially more valuable.

Key artifacts to chase:

• **Soulstone of the Ancients** (Legendary) – +200% click damage.
• **Eternal Hourglass** (Epic) – Reduces all skill cooldowns by 30%.
• **Amulet of Greed** (Rare) – Doubles gold gain from all sources.

Equip up to three artifacts at once. Always prioritize artifacts that complement your playstyle (idle vs active).

Guilds and Multiplayer Content

Guilds are a core part of the endgame. At level 110, you can create or join a guild. Guilds offer:

• **Guild Boss Raids** – Cooperative battles against world bosses with huge HP pools.
• **Guild Skills** – Shared active skills that all members can trigger.
• **Guild Shop** – Buy exclusive items with Guild Tokens.

To thrive in guilds:

• Communicate with members to coordinate raid times.
• Focus your guild’s skill tree on **Offense** first, then **Defense**.
• Donate extra resources to the guild vault for passive bonuses.

Boss Strategies for Level 100+

Bosses after level 100 have unique mechanics that require specific strategies.

The Void Sentinel (Level 125)

• **Mechanic**: Absorbs 50% of your damage and heals every 10 seconds.
• **Strategy**: Use burst damage skills right before the heal tick. Equip artifacts that reduce boss healing (e.g., **Bane of Recovery**).

The Time Weaver (Level 150)

• **Mechanic**: Slows your attack speed by 1% per second (stacking).
• **Strategy**: Bring skills that remove debuffs (e.g., **Cleanse**). Focus on DOT (damage over time) effects that ignore speed.

The Endboss (Level 200)

• **Mechanic**: Each phase has a different vulnerability.
• **Strategy**: Study the pattern – phase 1 weak to click damage, phase 2 weak to idle gold spent, phase 3 weak to skill combos. Have a balanced build.

Crafting: Ultimate Gear

The crafting system becomes essential once you unlock it at level 105. You can craft weapons, armor, and accessories using materials dropped by bosses.

Crafting Tips

• **RNG is king**: craft multiple copies of the same item to get better affixes.
• **Affixes**: Look for +critical chance, +global multiplier, and +exp gain.
• **Material grinding**: The best spot is the **Infinite Dungeon** (unlocked at level 130). Run floors 50-100 for rare materials.

Endgame Factions and Choices

At level 140, you can choose a faction that permanently modifies your playstyle. Each faction has unique bonuses:

• **The Order of Light** – +50% idle gain, but -30% click damage.
• **The Shadow Syndicate** – Double crit damage, but -20% gold.
• **The Nature’s Circle** – +100% resource generation from all sources, but no active skills.

Choose based on your preferred strategy. If you play actively, Shadow Syndicate is best. Idle players should pick Order of Light.

Gem Spending: What to Buy in Endgame

Gems are the premium currency. Save them for:

• **Permanent Upgrades**: Priority is `Auto-Prestige` (10,000 gems) and `Increased Artifact Slots` (5,000 gems).
• **Exclusive Cosmetics**: No benefit, but fun.
• **Speedrun Mode Tokens**: Spend after you have all essential upgrades.

Avoid buying temporary boosts with gems – they’re rarely worth it in endgame.

Speedrunning in Endgame

Speedrun mode unlocks at level 160. It challenges you to reach a target level within a time limit. Rewards include exclusive artifacts and titles. Best practices:

• Reset your prestige tree for pure speed (all nodes in click damage).
• Use **Infinite Scroll** artifact for instant resource generation.
• Skip guild content – you won’t have time.

Secrets and Easter Eggs

Endgame is full of hidden content. Here are a few:

• **Secret Boss**: Type `gg` in the console while fighting the Void Sentinel to summon a secret duplicate boss. Defeating it gives an artifact that doubles all stats.
• **Hidden Prestige Upgrade**: After 10 prestiges, the last node in the Prestige Tree becomes clickable – it grants +100% to everything.
• **Easter Egg**: The game’s logo on the title screen is clickable – it triggers a rainbow animation and gives 1 hour of offline progress.

Long-term Goals

Once you’ve mastered the basics, set these endgame milestones:

1. **Reach level 500** – unlocks the final zone. 2. **Collect all 30 artifacts** – grants an achievement that boosts all production by 100%. 3. **Complete the Ascension Challenge 50 times** – unlocks the ultimate perk: **Omnipotent**.\ 4. **Max out your guild’s skill tree** – gives every member +50% global damage. 5. **Defeat the secret boss “The Beyond”** – requires level 300 and a full artifact set.

Conclusion

Noob Incremental’s endgame is a rich tapestry of interlocking systems. By understanding prestige, ascension, artifacts, guilds, and crafting, you can optimize your progress far beyond level 100.
