Noob Incremental Upgrades FAQ

What is the best first upgrade in Noob Incremental?

Click Power is the best first upgrade in Noob Incremental because it costs only 50 Oof (cheapest in the game) and immediately boosts your manual clicking income. After Click Power, buy Noob Production (100 Oof) for passive Oof generation.

How does cost scaling work in Noob Incremental?

Each upgrade in Noob Incremental has a cost scaling multiplier. Every time you level an upgrade, the next level costs baseCost × (costScale ^ level). For example, Noob Production (1.8× scaling) means level 5 costs roughly 100 × 1.8^5 = 1,890 Oof. Higher scaling = more expensive at high levels.

Should I buy Automation early in Noob Incremental?

No. Auto Buy Noobs costs 2,000 Oof base with 2.5× scaling — expensive for the 1.3× effect per level. In early game, manual play is faster and cheaper. Buy Automation only when you plan to idle for 10+ minutes or overnight.
