Prestige

Prestige is the second stage of Prison progression. When you reach the required rank you can pay a money fee to prestige: your rank goes back to 1 and your money is wiped, but you gain a permanent multiplier on everything you earn, a larger mine, access to stronger pickaxe enchants and Prestige Crate Keys. There are 100 prestige levels. Every tenth one also opens a planet mine.

How to prestige#

1. Reach the rank listed for your next prestige in the ladder (rank 1,000 for the first, rank 2,000 for the second, and rank 10,000 from prestige 10 onward).
2. Earn at least the money fee for that prestige.
3. Run /prestige. A menu opens with one Prestige button showing your current prestige, the next one, the cost, the rank you need and the rewards you will get.
4. Click the button. If you qualify, you are charged and prestiged immediately. A "PRESTIGE!" title appears with your new level, and a firework bursts at your position.

What resets and what you keep#

What prestige gives you#

Permanent income multiplier#

Each prestige you hold multiplies both the money you receive when selling blocks and the tokens you earn per block by 1.10, and the bonus compounds. At prestige p the multiplier on each is 1.10 to the power p. It applies to your own mining wherever you mine, including the shared prestige mines.

The multiplier combines with boosters, enchant bonuses and other bonuses. See Income Multipliers.

Larger mine#

Your mine grows by one block on each side for every 25 ranks you have, but only up to a limit set by your highest prestige. The limit is 0 until prestige 2, then 20 blocks at prestige 2, 30 at prestige 3, 35 at prestige 4, and 5 more with every prestige after that, reaching 65 at prestige 10 and 515 at prestige 100. The limit never shrinks, and a mine is never made wider than 90 blocks. The "Mine growth limit" column below shows the cap you unlock.

Pickaxe enchants#

Each pickaxe enchant is locked until a prestige level, and the highest level you may buy of every enchant rises with each prestige. The ladder lists which enchants open at which prestige. See Pickaxe Enchant Caps for the purchase cap of each enchant at each prestige.

Prestige Crate Keys#

Every prestige pays a Prestige Crate Key, which opens the Prestige Crate anywhere or at the crates warp. The number of keys grows with the level: 1 key for prestiges 1 to 4, 2 for 5 to 7, 3 for 8 to 10, and one more key for every further ten prestiges, up to 12 keys at prestiges 91 to 100. See Prison Crates for the crate's rewards.

Planet mines and plot themes#

From prestige 10 you unlock one shared planet mine and a matching plot theme every ten prestiges: Moon (10), Mercury (20), Venus (30), Mars (40), Jupiter (50), Saturn (60), Uranus (70), Neptune (80), Pluto (90) and Sun (100). Warp to them with /prestigemine (alias /pmine); /prestigemine <tier> goes straight to a tier. See Prestige Mines.

The prestige ladder#

The money fee is the base price for a player with no rebirths. Every rebirth multiplies it by 1.55.

Fee after rebirths#

Climbing from prestige 0 to prestige 10 costs about $34.8 billion in total fees at zero rebirths, to prestige 50 about $29.4 trillion, and to prestige 100 about $102 quadrillion.

Tips#

• The fee is taken from your money first, and whatever is left is then wiped, so there is no point in saving money beyond the fee. Sell your backpack before prestiging only if you need the money for the fee.
• Use /maxrankup to reach the required rank, then prestige as soon as you can afford the fee; every prestige you wait is a multiplier you are not earning with.
• Tokens are never wiped by prestige, so spend them on pickaxe enchants freely.
• A Prestige Skip grants one prestige without the fee or the rank requirement, but still resets your rank and money.
• After prestige 100 the next step is rebirth.
