Ngu Respawn, at what level do diminishing returns hit it so hard its not worth effort?

[eqalidan]

of all ngu things, this one seems like it will hit a hard wall, im not TOO far away from evil, but this ngu I only have at 14000 and I'm not to sure if its worth dumping all my energy into it for a few days because the return seems very small, though I do see the benefit, I know the more I dump the less i get out of it, I think it was at least 20 levels for a .01 lower, and that could have been loaded with a crap load more levels behind it.

Basically you can just leave that NGU to the side once you got it to a few thousands of levels.

Of course you will continue to level it later when you have stats high enough to cap it without spending much of your energy on it but for the most part it isn't worth sacrificing progress in other NGUs or other features just to run that one.

The "hard cap" for that NGU's bonus in normal is 60% (more accurately -40% but it displays it as 60%), in reality you will never truly reach that value but at a few million levels you get close enough that more levels won't show a result anymore.

TL;DR: At your current 14k levels you can safely leave it alone and not waste time on it for quite while.

I'd suggest to level it to go below 61%: at one million that would be 60.77% while to reach 60% it would require the hardcap of one billion.
But obviously as soon as you can speedcap with a fraction of your energy there's no reason to ignore it anymore.

good, i'm in the process right now of a 'long' rebirth cycle, I say long because it takes about 10~hours (really about 17 due to sleep) to get everything back up to autokilling the beast, so im putting rebirths off to focus on some ngu levels, probably getting everything above drop chance to 50k, adventure to 100-150k and drop into the 30's

this will allow me to set and forget while also getting more slime gear to lower the time to getting autokills.

I have 160m at that, it already says "60%". Dunno if it's actual value or just rounded.

[Fel]

It's rounded but I don't know at what point the rounding decides to just use 60% instead of 60.000001% for example.
The math formula itself never reaches 60% but it gets closer and closer with each level.
At 160 million levels you would be at 60,00499875%.
