Ascension Points

Ascension Points are a special currency which is granted at the beginning of every Ascension after the first playthrough.
Ascension Points can be used to temporarily increase the global EXP multiplier. Each purchase increases the global EXP multiplier for the current ascension by an additive 5%; however, the cost for each subsequent purchase increases in a triangular fashion - that is, the first purchase is 1 Ascension Point, the second purchase is (1+2)=3 Ascension Points, the third purchase is (1+2+3)=6 Ascension Points, and so on. The extra multiplier and the cost reset to their initial values when the current ascension ends; however, spent Ascension Points are not refunded. When the current month ends, 10 White Coins are granted for each unspent Ascension Point, and all spent Ascension Points are refunded.
As the cumulative number of Ascension Points (AP) increases, various permanent bonuses activate or get upgraded:
