Your milestone bar fills only when you give bits to the server pool. Shop purchases do not count. The bar is yours. The pot is the server’s. The same gift updates both.
Each step costs twice the one before it. Five is meant to be reachable. Ten is a long push. There is no step past 10. Leftover bits stay on the bar, and you claim one step at a time.
Claiming pays the bits immediately. It does not grant the prestige reward on that row. That reward is stamped only if you prestige after the step is claimed.
The ten steps
| Step | Bits you need to have given | Bits you get back | If you prestige after this |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 250 | 200 | |
| 2 | 500 | 350 | |
| 3 | 1,000 | 600 | |
| 4 | 2,000 | 1,000 | |
| 5 | 4,000 | 2,000 | Prestige opens. No permanent buff. |
| 6 | 8,000 | 3,500 | Burns pay 1% more. |
| 7 | 16,000 | 6,000 | Grab cooldown is 1% shorter. |
| 8 | 32,000 | 10,000 | Drop cooldown is 1% shorter. |
| 9 | 64,000 | 18,000 | Mints are a little more likely. |
| 10 | 128,000 | 30,000 | Main characters are 1% more likely. |
The “bits you need” is the size of that step, not a running total of the whole cycle. After you claim step 1, the 250 is spent from the bar and step 2 asks for another 500.
/milestone lists all ten, which step you are on, how many bits are left until the next one, and which prestige buffs you would keep if you prestiged right now. /milestone claim takes the next payout when the bar has reached it.
The Economy page shows the same list and a Claim button when a step is ready.
