If I had 20 million gems, I’d expect to abdicate once the reward hit 40 million. My personal rule of thumb was to abdicate when the reward for doing so was twice the number of gems I already owned. It largely depends on what your goals are and what faction you’re playing.

Although it can be hard to sign over your land and assets the first time, each one gets easier when you realize you’re investing in the next run. You’ll retain gems even after abdicating, meaning your gold production will increase proportionate to the gems you’ve amassed. It’s a small bonus when you’ve just abdicated for the first time, but grows exponentially with each abdication, as does your gold production in each run. Every gem you own increases your overall gold production by three percent.

What you earn by abdicating are gems, the second type of currency in the game. By abdicating, you give up all buildings and upgrades you’ve bought in the current run along with your gold. You can turn off the warnings in the settings menu, but take care! Abdicate often (enough)Ībdicating is the first method of soft-reset that you’ll encounter. By default, the game warns you when you’re about to spend your chosen faction’s coins for an exchange. Be sure not to shell out too many Faction Coins for exchanges before getting the three faction upgrades and, ideally, each of the heritages you’ve unlocked. Each faction’s coins can be traded in the Royal Exchange menu for increased gold production. You’ll also use Faction Coins for Royal Exchanges. The Titan faction, for instance, uses faction coins from Fairies and Goblins to unlock its upgrades and heritage.

The expansion factions you unlock later require a combination of multiple vanilla factions’ coins to unlock upgrades and heritages. In each run, you’ll use faction coins for your chosen alignment to unlock each of the three tiers of upgrades specific to the faction and the Heritage bonus for each. Each of the six vanilla factions have their own coins. The Royal Exchange screen keeps track of the times you’ve traded Faction coins (opens in new tab) Mind your faction coinsįaction coins are found during your normal gold production, either by assistants in your passive production or while clicking.
