Tower return after victory?

[FiddlerOnTheNet]

I'm grinding gem leaves on floors 110 to 140, and I've just gotten strong enough to beat the boss of 140 while idling. This returns me to the home garden, and I have to manually return to the tower.

Is there a way to automatically return to the tower upon victory? If not, a setting for the borb taxi would be nice.

Otherwise, do I just have to buy more tower floors at this point? The manual returning makes farming way less efficient, obviously.

There's no automatic way to return to the tower after completing it. You also don't get a chance to blow away any gem leaf rewards you might have gotten from the final Tower floor boss, as far as I know, which is also annoying.

There's two ways around this.

You could set up some sort of auto clicker to try and move you to the tower. When you're in the tower, you can't teleport to the tower, so it wont do anything until you're kicked out.

But the better option is to set up the Borb Taxi Observer to force yourself to reset the tower BEFORE you get to the last floor. Since you're not going to get rewards for it anyway you might as well skip it entirely. Fiddle around a bit and find a setting that resets sometime around floor 130.

That was actually my first thought, so I set the borb taxi observer to 1. But apparently I'm strong enough that no enemies are ever escaping before floor 140. I'm guessing I should just MLC now, since an auto-clicker seems a bit hacky to me (though it's fine for those want to use it, of course!)

Blowing damage is 6.63b

Prestige (or MLC) and don't max out your damage upgrades. That'll make it harder to reach the highest floor.

It's also important to keep in mind that once you've made it to the highest floor, there's not really a lot of reasons to keep attempting the tower. You get more equipment, and more gem leaves, but those face diminishing returns pretty quickly.

But yes, it sounds like it's time to MLC.

Thanks again for the tips, but I'm not sure what you mean by this. Why which damage upgrades can you "max out", and why would that make it harder and not easier?

He said do not max them out in order to reduce the damage you do. It seems like you read the opposite.

I had that issue a few weeks ago when achieving tower floor 100. How I handled it was changed pets so that I could not regenerate health nor do as much damage. Other ideas are to turn off selective Unique Leaves.

If those were not a huge difference, you may have to plan ahead and not purchase certain damage upgrades .

I was farming artifacts since they do not get reset on crunches.

Oh yeah thanks. I'm just dumb. It was the sentence, "That'll make it harder to reach the highest floor" that confused me. Immediate thought was, "why would more damage make it harder to progress?" But yeah that makes sense with making it harder to accumulate gem leaves.

Do the gem leaves all spawn independently of the limit, or does having more of them unlocked reduce the chance of getting a specific type?

The more you have, the less chance you have of getting what you want. It's best to start off with the one that gives you increased combo. You should at least get it to level 10 before buying the next gem leaf. Basically you funnel the most important leaf first by unlocking just 1,grind as much as you can, then get the next one and repeat the process.

[Daunmi]

As a tip for gem leaves, some of them are more or less completely useless.

Don't buy Amethyst or Ruby gem leaves until you've got as many of the rest of them as you want, because all they're good for is a small MLC bonus. Tektite and Emerald are almost in the same boat.

Get what you need, not what you want.

Just have auto BLC on and mark the tower as your auto teleport destination.

So I have it set to enter the tower at level 91, it goes up through floor 160 which is my max level so far, once I beat it, it ports me to the starting garden, the auto BLC kicks in and then ports back to the tower at floor 91. Rinse and repeat.

[Daunmi]

That's a really weird solution. But it sounds like it IS a solution so...

Nice idea?

[Tenzek]

Yeah, now that gem leaves are preserved and you can retain your area unlocks through an MLC, I wonder if we'll get auto MLC soon.

In theory, the recently added "Borb Taxi End of Party" silver token upgrade should solve this problem entirely as according to its description it "Automatically transports you back to the Leaf Tower when you have reached the tower peak".

However for me at least it appears bugged - I have reached level 100 for the first time, and want to farm more equipment before choosing to do MLC for the first time. Despite this new upgrade being purchased and enabled, regardless of if Borb Taxi is enabled or not, it still boots me back to the home garden after defeating level 100 instead of back to leaf tower like it should.
It may however only be bugged for 'first time MLC-ers' like myself, so perhaps it works as advertised for anyone who has already done at least one MLC?
