Among Cookie Clicker players, 100 to 200 prestige levels are considered a quick and early ascension. At that point, you’ll have enough heavenly chips to choose a few different upgrades. These can help make your next run go faster, bringing you more prestige levels and heavenly chips. Many expert players wait a long time for their first ascension.
Depending on how active you are, this could take days or weeks, and that’s just for your first prestige level. You’re probably going to get impatient and want to Ascend quickly. I recommend you read the next part of the Ascension guide first. When Should I Ascend in Cookie Clicker?
Ascension in Cookie Clicker is like choosing to prestige in other games. You lose most of your progress, but you start over with specific beneficial bonuses. To ascend, click the “Legacy” button near the top of the screen.
The ascension screen is accessed by the Legacy button, which is under the Info button. If you reach a certain number of cookies (about 100 in that particular ascension), you can ascend and reset the same way as a Soft Reset.
