Yggdrasil, The World Tree is a feature that is unlocked by using A Giant Seed, which is a guaranteed drop from Grand Corrupted Tree.

Seeds, fruit unlocks, and tier upgrades persist through rebirth. All growing or grown fruits will be lost upon rebirth, so one should always eat or harvest them before rebirthing.

Getting Seeds[]

  • A Giant Seed

Consuming A Giant Seed will always award seeds 1 seed per item level, plus 1% bonus also per level (rounded down), so 1 and 200 seeds will be given by consuming the Giant Seed at levels 1 and 100, respectively.

  • Money Pit

Money Pit will randomly award the player with seeds. The amount of seeds depends on the Money Pit tier (for more info, see Money Pit). Seeds will only be awarded if the Yggdrasil menu has been unlocked. If the Yggdrasil menu has not been unlocked, the player will see that the seed would have been the reward, but they don't actually get it.

  • Spinning the Wheel

The Daily Spin in the Money Pit will give you seeds depending on your level, starting from level 3 (higher level, more seeds), at a 2-5%.

  • Eating or Harvesting Fruits

Eating or harvesting any fruit also always awards you a certain amount of seeds.

Fruit Tiers and Activation[]

  • Spending Seeds on Fruit Tiers

Seeds can only be used to upgrade fruit Tiers, up to 10 times, or 24 times after completing the Troll Challenge 3 times (more info below). The upgrade cost is always based on the square of the Tier that it is being upgraded to, so upgrading to Tier 10 will always cost 100 times more seeds than upgrading it to Tier 1.

  • Fruit Tiers

Each time a fruit is upgraded into a higher Tier, it can grow for one more hour without the need of being eaten or harvested. Each Tier after the first also generally increases the fruit's efficiency dramatically, since most rewards get not just multiplied by the Tier, but instead multiplied by the Tier taken to a power of 1.5 (T1.5), and also rounded up (ceilinged), meaning a Tier 10 fruit will award up to 32 times more rewards than a Tier 1 fruit.

  • Tier 0

Default fruit Tier. Tier 0 fruits are locked and can not be activated or used.

  • Tier 1

After a fruit reaches at least Tier 1, it gets unlocked and is ready to be activated.

  • Activating a Fruit

Fruits can be activated using a fixed amount of energy/magic, according to each fruit. When you have the fruit's Energy/Magic cost as Idle Energy/Magic, activating it will subtract that value from your Idle Energy/Magic and also from your Energy/Magic cap temporarily, which will be recovered on the same rebirth through Energy/Magic production (bars and speed).

  • Auto-Activating a Fruit

Fruits don't always have to be activated manually, and it doesn't always have a cost. Once the player reaches 10x the fruit's cost in Energy/Magic cap (total cap after bonuses, threshold according to each fruit), one may unlock that fruit's Auto-Activation for a set EXP cost via Spend EXP. After unlocking it, that specific fruit will never be inactive, and will always be activated pretty much instantly, for free. [Note: You do still have to manually harvest/eat the fruit]

  • Activated Fruits

Active fruits will start growing for a maximum of one hour per fruit Tier. Every one full hour growing, they will reach the next Tier. Once the fruit reaches it's maximum Tier, it will stop growing and producing bonuses until is eaten or harvested.

  • Tiers 2-10

Fruits can be upgraded 9 more times after unlocking, up to a maximum of Tier 10. Tier 10 fruits will grow for up to 10 hours without a need to eat or harvest.

  • Tiers 11-24

Once the fruit reaches the maximum Tier of 10, this value can only be further increased by the reward for completing the Troll Challenge for the third time. If so, it can be upgraded 14 more times after Tier 10, up to Tier 24, and no more. Tier 24 fruits will grow for up to 24 hours without a need to eat or harvest.

It takes 4900 times the cost to unlock a fruit to level it from Tier 0 to Tier 24.

Improving Yggdrasil rewards[]

Icarus Proudbottom's Homemade Fertilizer (AKA Poop)[]

Poop is a consumable that allows a specific fruits reward to be increased by 50% (before rounding). This will only affect the next one time it is eaten or harvested and will consume one Poop, except if the player has maxed the Brown Heart, then one every 10th Poop used will not be consumed. Poop count can be viewed through the Yggdrasil menu or through 4G's Sellout Shop, where the player can also buy single pieces of Poop, or in bulk, for a discount of up to 25% for buying 100 pieces. Poop can be found as a rare drop from Icarus Proudbottom in The Sky at a rate of 1-27 per day, as a reward from the Daily Spin, or from the ITOPOD at a rate of 2-11 per day after buying the "What a Crappy Perk" perk.
