When to Reset?

[Salem]

At what point in my game should I reset for prestige? I am on my second run and will get 6.69( I believe) timeblocks right now. Thanks so much!!!

You only gain timeblocks by completing achievements or buying them in the diamond store. However, 6.69 seems like a good rate of return to reset.

Honestly, we can't tell you when to reset without knowing a lot about your setup, but when it feels like a chore to reach that next level with a girl and you'll gain significantly on your prestige interval, that's a good time to do it.

What do you need to know about my setup? Resetting anyways but just curious

There's a lot of things to know, far too many to give useful advice on a forum format.

Resetting really depends on how much time you have on your hands and are willing to spend playing the game actively, though if that was your second run, I'd also have recommended to reset at that point.

What's most important (if your personally available time is of importance = you are dedicated to playing the game and have nothing better to do) is really the ratio of prestige/time.
If it takes you like forever to get like almost no additional prestige, you're already way past the point where it'd be sensible to reset.

But of course, resetting means you will always need to at least play to the point where you can get everything running at once - the hobbies as well as some jobs and it's repetive and can get quite boring if done over and over again.

So in general I recommend thinking about the next point in time where you'd be fireing up the game again. In the beggining, it might be beneficial to get many jobs running in parallel in order to get new job levels, which give you achievements, which in turn give you more timeslots (1 per 4 achievements). Once you have a decent number of timeslots you can go for higher hobbylevels - once they become to far apart from one another, you can put the timeslots back into jobs, until you're convinced that further waiting for money is pointless and thus reset.

It's always more beneficial to reset sooner than later.
If you can reach 10 prestiege in 1 hour it's good, but if you can reach 5 prestiege in 10 minutes - then in 1 hour you will get +30 prestige, resetting after you get +5.

Downside of this is that game quickly become boring - you press same buttons again and again in short time, repeating this small setup.

So it's your choice - reset often (like every 10, 20 or 60 minutes), or leave game offline for hours and reset once\twice per day.

One could even argue it's mathematically more beneficial to reset earlier if the ratio stays the same, because every following reset will be reached slightly quicker.

But if you can get 5 prestige in 10 minutes and only 2 prestige in 5 minutes, it MIGHT be better to play for 10 minutes. (unless someone likes to throw a formula around and prove me wrong)

In most corner case you can get 0.05 prestige in like 5 seconds with first level of Cassie.
That will give you around 36 prestige per hour. Nothing will give you prestiege faster than this.

Now, can you repeat this for an hour?)

I tend to hold onto my prestiges when I get twice the amount of speed.
