Petless Challenge Guide

**Completion Requirement:** Collect 100m Benitoite Leaves

**Restrictions:** Pets are disabled

**By: Laura, Working as of v2.14.2**

Pets are an integral part of how we normally play the game, so playing without them comes with some difficulties, below I’ll describe the biggest obstacles and how to overcome them.

###### **Unique Leaves:**

At the start you’ll want to grind out enough BLC by brute force to unlock Unique Leaves, this will take a good few crunches, but it will help immensely to have these early to make up for the lack of pets. Ghost Leaf will take the place of Foxo, Rainbow Leaf is a way to speed up seed grinding without using Raccoono, Glitter Leaf helps get combo up without Doggo.

###### **Seed Grinding:**

Without Raccoono doing a seed grind will be significantly slower, but in this case it has many purposes and it will be made up for by having the More Seeds gem upgrade and the Rainbow Unique Leaf.

The purposes of the seed grind here are:

* Celestial Converters, like in previous challenges, it’s better to not go through the Celestial grind, especially since a lot of the pets would help lots with this task, but we don’t have access to pets.
* Unique Leaves, these kind of speak for themselves, especially the Ghost and Glitter Leaves will be helpful, but might as well grab them all.
* Prestige Coins, right now is the time to get enough prestige coins for the rest of the challenge, after you’ve gotten everything you need from the Celestial Shop (Unlock Mythical Leaves and about 10 Moar BLC, anything more is optional), it’s time to prestige and set up your autobuyers for 3cc, we’ll be here for a while.

###### **Mythical Leaves:**

One of the easier parts of this run, make sure to fully max out the shop so you won’t have too low blowing power later on and you’re getting enough BLC for the next big grind.

If you’re having trouble getting enough Mythical Leaves for the first seed, piling into offline should do the trick (and having max gold combo).

###### **Lava, Ice and Obsidian Leaves:**

These I group together because of their close BLC cost, it’s more time efficient to grind their BLC in one go and then seed farm for combo and do all of these at the same time.

While you’re still collecting (gold) seeds, go to these areas in order just to unlock the next leaves (up to obsidian) and grind out as much obsidian combo as you can afford.

After maxing out gold combo upgrades the best way to get seeds for these leaves is to pile in their area into afk, you likely won’t get the obsidian seed yet, but piling it is still good to get combo up more.

After purchasing the first Lava and Ice seeds is when we start the Celestial Seed grind.

###### **Celestial Seed into obsidian piling:**

Now that we have some More Celestial Leaves upgrades from the Lava and Ice shops we can start going for the first Celestial seed to get our combo up more. Get up Celestial Marketing, Worthy Enemies and More enemies, Please up to about 1/20th the cost of the seed and just afk.

Once you can afford the first seed you want to keep active with upgrading Celestial Seed Marketing to the point where the cost is (1/level) of your current leaves.

After having maxed the Celestial Combo you’ll be able to pile your Obsidian Leaves and afk until you can afford Unlock Silicon Leaves (and as many Moar BLC as you’re willing to wait for).

###### **Silicon and Benitoite Leaves:**

Now that we’ve gotten a lot Moar BLC upgrades, we can do the final BLC grind to unlock the Leafsink Harbor.

Once the Leafsink Harbor is unlocked you’ll want to go through Silicon as fast as possible and get Unlock Benitoite Leaves, likely with printers being your main source of Silicon Leaves due to Printer Printers.

Once you’ve unlocked Benitoite Leaves you’re in the home stretch, just needing to blow off a total of 100m of them in value, which should be fairly quick with all the combo upgrades we’ve gotten through the course of the run.

###### **Alternative Route, Trader:**

At any point you can decide to start trading instead of actually unlocking the areas for new leaves, it has the downside of being less consistent, but it’s less active playtime overall.

You need at least Trading Education 1 (cost 20m BLC) with some luck to be able to skip leaves with trading, and you need Trading Education 2 (total cost 500m BLC) to get it more consistently. Because the clear condition is to have 100m Benitoite Leaves total no matter the source, trading works just fine to complete the challenge.
