Gilded Leech
Cost: 8 Gene Points
- At Level 1, your Golden Leech will drop a nugget worth 2% of accumulated gold on each tap.
- Accumulated gold does not include any of these extra dropped nuggets.
- Example: If you get 100 gold per tap from the reptile, the first tap will give you a nugget worth 2 gold. The second tap will give you a nugget worth 4 gold, etc. If the leech exploded at that point, you would get 200 gold from the leech, and have a total of 206 gold.
- At Level 1, for every 100 taps of the leech, your final gold take will have increased by 100%.
- Meaning if you tap 10 times a second, or 300 taps total, you will receive +300% the gold that you would have gotten without Gilded Leech, for a total of 4x the gold.
- Tapper Crab in the store does not work with this any longer. The old Tapper would have given you up to 900 taps.
- Changes the leech graphic from a tick to more of a.. moth?
Gene Tree Ascension
- Version 3.80 brought Gene Tree Ascension Tiers which allow levelling up genes to make them more powerful.
- For Gilded Leech this means the base value increases by 2% every level.
- In the table below I include a column for a very modest 10 taps per second over a 30 second leech. You probably tap more than 10 per second if you use multiple fingers, but that just means more gold for you.
