Noob Incremental Beginner's Guide

# Noob Incremental Beginner's Guide: How to Start Your Idle Journey

Welcome to **Noob Incremental**, the idle game where you start from nothing and build an empire of clicks, upgrades, and prestige. This beginner's guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started, from the first click to your first prestige and beyond. Whether you're completely new to incremental games or just need a refresher, this guide covers all the essentials.

What Is Noob Incremental?

Noob Incremental is a browser-based idle game (playable at [noobincremental.xyz/play]()) where you generate resources by clicking, upgrading, and automating. The core loop is simple: click to earn coins, spend coins on upgrades that increase your income, unlock new mechanics, and eventually prestige to start over with permanent bonuses. The game features multiple layers of progression, including achievements, crafting, artifacts, and even guilds. For newcomers, the first few hours are about learning the basics and building momentum.

Getting Started: First Steps

When you first load the game, you'll see a giant coin in the center of the screen. Click it! Each click gives you a small amount of coins. Your goal is to accumulate coins and purchase upgrades.

1. Click Your Way to Your First Upgrade

• **Click the coin** until you have at least 10 coins.
• Open the **Upgrades** panel (usually on the right or top).
• Buy **"Click Power +1"** – this increases the coins per click.
• Continue clicking and buying more Click Power upgrades.

2. Unlock Your First Generator

Once you have around 100 coins, you'll see the **Generators** tab. The first generator is the **Auto Clicker**. Buy one. It automatically clicks the coin once per second. This is your first source of passive income.

3. Build Up Your Generators

Each generator costs more but produces more. Prioritize:

• Auto Clicker (costs 100 coins)
• Coin Miner (costs 1,000 coins) – produces 10 coins/sec
• Coin Factory (costs 10,000 coins) – produces 100 coins/sec

As you buy generators, your passive income grows exponentially. Keep clicking to speed things up, but soon you'll earn most coins passively.

Core Mechanics Explained

Resources and Income

The main resource is **Coins**. You earn coins per click (CPC) and coins per second (CPS). Upgrades and generators increase these rates.

Upgrades

Upgrades are permanent boosts. They fall into categories:

• **Click Upgrades**: Increase CPC.
• **Generator Upgrades**: Multiply generator efficiency.
• **Global Multipliers**: Boost all income.

Check the upgrades tab often. Some upgrades unlock only after reaching certain milestones.

Achievements

Achievements reward you for completing specific tasks (e.g., "Click 1,000 times", "Earn 1 million coins"). They give permanent bonuses or special items. Check the achievements tab to see what's available.

Prestige

Prestige is a major mechanic. When you accumulate enough **Prestige Points** (PP), you can reset your game in exchange for permanent multipliers. Prestige Points are earned based on your total lifetime coins. The first prestige unlocks after earning 1 million coins total.

Early Game: First Upgrades Priority

In the beginning, focus on these upgrades to maximize growth:

1. **Click Power Upgrades** – Get these early to speed up initial coin gain. 2. **Generator Efficiency** – After you have a few generators, buy upgrades that multiply generator output. 3. **Unlock New Generators** – Each new generator provides a big jump in CPS. 4. **Achievement Hunt** – Some achievements give powerful bonuses. 5. **Prestige Preparation** – Once you have ~10 Prestige Points, consider your first prestige.

Sample Early Upgrade Path

• 0-10 minutes: Click until you can buy 5 Click Power upgrades.
• 10-30 minutes: Buy Auto Clicker and Coin Miner. Upgrade them to level 5.
• 30-60 minutes: Unlock Coin Factory. Buy all available generator upgrades.
• 1-2 hours: Save for Prestige. You'll hit your first prestige around 2 hours.

Prestige: How and Why

Prestige lets you reset your progress but keep permanent bonuses. Here's how it works:

When to Prestige

The first prestige is worth doing once you have at least **10 Prestige Points**. You can see your current PP in the prestige tab. The more PP you earn before resetting, the bigger the multiplier you get. But don't wait too long – early prestiges accelerate later runs.

What You Keep

• Prestige multiplier (increases all income by a percentage)
• Achievements
• Unlocked artifacts (if you've reached that stage)
• Guild progress (if unlocked)

What You Lose

• All coins, generators, upgrades, and current progress
• (But you'll rebuild much faster thanks to the multiplier)

Step-by-Step Prestige

1. Open the **Prestige** tab. 2. Click **Prestige Now** – confirm the reset. 3. You'll be back at the start with 0 coins but a shiny new multiplier. 4. Rebuy generators and upgrades rapidly – your income will skyrocket. 5. Aim to earn more PP each run.

Tips and Tricks for New Players

Active vs Idle Play

• **Active**: Click often, buy upgrades as soon as possible, and check achievements. Best for early game.
• **Idle**: Let the game run in the background. Once you have strong generators, idle income beats clicking.

Use Automation

Later, you can unlock automation upgrades that buy generators for you. This is a game-changer. Prioritize automation when it becomes available (see [Automation Guide](/guides/automation-guide/)).

Watch for Events

Noob Incremental sometimes has limited-time events with exclusive rewards. Check the news section on the [guides index](/guides/) for updates.

Join a Guild

Guilds (unlocked later) let you collaborate with other players for shared bonuses. Learn more in [Guilds and Multiplayer](/guides/guilds-and-multiplayer/).

Manage Your Resources

Don't spend all your coins at once. Sometimes saving for a high-tier upgrade is better than buying many small ones. Use the **Resource Management** tips in our dedicated guide.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Prestiging Too Early

If you prestige with only 1-2 PP, the multiplier is negligible. Wait until you have at least 10 PP for a meaningful boost.

2. Ignoring Achievements

Achievements offer permanent bonuses. Even if they seem small, they add up. Check them regularly.

3. Forgetting to Buy Generator Upgrades

Generator upgrades are often more cost-effective than buying new generators. Always check if you can double your CPS by upgrading existing ones.

4. Not Using Manual Clicks in Early Game

Even though it's an idle game, clicking actively in the first hour dramatically speeds up progress. Don't just AFK from the start.

5. Neglecting the Prestige Tree

After your first few prestiges, you'll unlock a prestige tree with additional perks. Spend your prestige points wisely – focus on income multipliers first.

What's Next? Your Roadmap to Mid-Game

Once you've prestiged 2-3 times, you'll have a solid income base. Look into:

• **Crafting**: Build equipment to boost stats. See [Crafting System](/guides/crafting-system/).
• **Artifacts**: Unlock powerful relics. See [Artifact System](/guides/artifact-system/).
• **Ascension**: A deeper reset for endgame players. See [Ascension Guide](/guides/ascension-guide/).
• **Endgame Content**: Prepare for the final challenges. See [Endgame Content](/guides/endgame-content/).

Conclusion

Noob Incremental is a deep and rewarding idle game. As a beginner, focus on clicking, upgrading, and your first prestige. Use this guide to avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your progress.
