Scritchy Scratchy Prestige and Jack Points
Prestige restarts the run and keeps your Jack Points for permanent upgrades. JP comes from scratching a jackpot, once per ticket type per run, and settles when you reach the Final Chance. Restarting inside Catalogue 1 gives no JP. Picky Eater at 250 JP is the usual first major node; community estimates put the full tree at roughly 21,000 JP.
Official 1.2.x notes confirm the reset and the confirmation prompt. JP values and the full-tree estimate are community-reported; the sources give 21,000 and 28,450, so treat both as estimates.

When Prestige actually pays
Prestige is worth it when the next permanent upgrade will speed up the next run more than the current run can still grow. Patch 1.2 added a confirmation prompt that warns the run will restart.
Check the JP you will bank before confirming. If you have only played Catalogue 1, the answer is often zero, because the settlement happens at the Final Chance.
Spending JP: the first nodes
Picky Eater (250 JP) is the node community guides name first: it makes Mundo discard losing tickets and removes the most common bankruptcy path. After that, look for upgrades that raise early income or reduce manual work.
The tree also has a Challenges tab. Treat that tab as a separate menu, not a JP purchase.
Respec and the full tree
Community notes mention a reset or respec option for JP, but the exact refund rule was not confirmed in the sources read. Check the tree before spending a large balance.
Estimates for maxing every node disagree (about 21,000 against 28,450 JP). Use them as a rough horizon, not a target to grind blindly.
Quick answers
- Why did restarting give me no JP?
- A restart inside Catalogue 1 does not settle the run. Play to the Final Chance so scratched jackpots are counted.
- Is there a respec?
- Community notes refer to one, but the refund rule was not confirmed. Check the current tree before spending.
