Roblox Tower Incremental, developed by Lucky CStudios, revolves around a simple loop: buy stairs with gold to climb higher, unlock specialized resource rooms, roll stat-boosting glyphs, and trigger rebirths to scale production. Transitioning from a beginner to an endgame player requires moving through multi-layered production chains, starting with basic gold and silver and progressing to iron smelting, crystals, lumber, essence farming, star metal forging, prisms, and dragon embers.
The ultimate goal of the first tower is reaching the Gateway past Rebirth 10, funding the multi-currency portal requirements, and unlocking Tower 2 and the Pearl Beds.
Stage 1: The Early Climb (Floors 1 to 10)
Your climb begins at the base of the tower with passive gold dropping every few seconds. Invest your earliest gold into the ground-floor upgrade board to increase gold dropped per cycle, boost generation speed, and raise walk speed.
Once you purchase enough starter stairs to reach Floor 1, unlock the first room for 400 gold. This introduces the Lava Glyph system. Glyphs act as rolling passive runes: standing in the room spends gold to continuously roll drops like Cinder, Ember, and Basalt, granting permanent multipliers to gold generation, silver gains, and luck. Early on, roll enough Lava Glyphs to build a 2x to 5x gold multiplier before pushing further up the stairs.
Reaching Floor 3 unlocks the Mine for 1,500 gold. Inside, mine silver ore blocks with your pickaxe. Silver is used at the adjacent upgrade board to increase your silver per ore, pickaxe swing speed, and further boost your gold multiplier. The game features an auto-mine button on the UI, which allows you to harvest silver blocks without manual clicking.
At Floor 5, you unlock Upgrade Tree 1 for 100 silver. Prioritize buying all silver-based nodes here to expand movement speed, luck, and core multipliers. Continue building stairs to Floor 8 to unlock Water Glyphs, which grant larger stacking multipliers for both gold and silver.
Hitting Floor 10 triggers iron spawning inside the mine and unlocks the Smeltery room. Deposit mined iron ore into the smeltery container, where conveyor belts push it through processing hammers to create iron ingots. Upgrade the smeltery conveyor speed, bin storage capacity, and purchase the upgrade allowing iron deposits from anywhere to eliminate backtracking.
Stage 2: Rebirths and Permanent Upgrades (Floors 11 to 36)
Pushing past Floor 10 shifts your primary progression bottleneck from raw gold to iron processing and glyph rolling. Floor 15 unlocks the Poison Glyph chamber, which introduces direct iron production multipliers alongside substantial luck boosts. Just above on the stairs sits the first Potion Merchant, where you can spend gold to purchase up to 3 hours of stacking 50% boosts for gold, silver, and iron.
Floor 16 hosts your first Rebirth door. Rebirth 1 costs 1 billion gold and grants:
- 40x Gold Multiplier
- 3x Silver Multiplier
- 3x Iron Multiplier
- Preservation of Lava Glyphs and the base glyph board
While Rebirth 1 resets your purchased stairs, the 40x gold boost lets you rebuild the staircase within minutes. Joining the official Lucky CStudios Roblox group unlocks the auto-run toggle, which automatically purchases stairs and walks your character upward as long as you can afford the steps.
Past your first rebirth, climb to Floor 20 to access the Permanent Upgrades room. These upgrades cost gold and iron ingots. Purchasing them ensures that specific sections of Upgrade Tree 1 and your mine upgrade boards no longer reset on future rebirths.
Continue ascending through Floor 23 (Wind Glyphs) and Floor 25, where Upgrade Tree 1 expands with nodes requiring iron ingots. Around Floor 30, unlock the Crystal Mine. Crystals drop from crystal nodes and regrow over time. Use crystals to purchase crystal harvest boosts and early trails from the merchant.
At Floor 36, unlock Rebirth 2, which preserves Floors 1 through 20 and grants an 80x gold multiplier, along with 10x multipliers to silver and iron.
Stage 3: Mid-Tower Mechanics (Floors 37 to 100)
After Rebirth 2, use the teleporter menu to navigate instantly between unlocked resource nodes. The climb through the mid-tower introduces three distinct currencies:
Crystals and the Prize Wheel (Floors 37 to 60)
Above Floor 36, unlock the Crimson Glyph room and Permanent Upgrades 2, which preserves Water Glyphs across rebirths. Floor 46 features the Prize Wheel, costing 100,000 crystals per spin to win temporary currency multipliers and trails. Upgrade Tree 2 opens here, requiring crystals and silver. Unlock Electric and Earth Glyphs to keep your crystal mining multipliers scaling alongside your gold income. Rebirth 3 (Floor 50–55 range) saves Floors 1 through 40.
The Lumber Yard (Floors 60 to 90)
Reaching the 60s unlocks the Lumber Yard, where you chop trees with a 20-second regrowth timer. Wood is used to fund Permanent Upgrades 3 and 4, purchase high-tier shop trails (such as the Divinity Trail for 3x wood gains), and pay for Rebirth 4 and Rebirth 5 requirements (Floors 80 to 92). Rebirth 5 requires 50,000 wood and preserves Floors 1 through 80.
Essence Fields and Totems (Floors 93 to 120)
Passing Floor 100 introduces the Essence Field. In this zone, essence orbs spawn across the floor; collect them to upgrade your essence yield per orb. Key milestones in this tier include:
- Upgrade Tree 4: Requires essence and silver. The final node in this branch automates essence collection entirely.
- Totem Shrines: Unlocked using essence. You can erect totems that multiply individual resources (Gold, Silver, Iron, Crystals, Wood, Essence, and Luck). The Luck and Essence totems provide the highest early return.
- Sakura and Void Glyphs: Massively multiply essence collection rates, allowing you to harvest millions of essence per tick.
- Rebirth 6 and 7: Rebirth 7 requires 750,000 essence and saves Floors 1 through 100.
Stage 4: Advanced Refineries to The Gateway
The final stretch of the first tower transitions into multi-tier conversion machines where lower-tier materials are refined into advanced fuels.
| Refinery / Room | Required Input Material | Output Produced | Key Upgrades to Prioritize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Forge | Iron Ingots | Star Metal | Multiplier gain per smelt, container capacity |
| Prism Refractor | Crystals | Prisms | Prisms per process (3-second cycle), cycle speed |
| Dragon's Roost | Embers (passive area gain) | Hatched Dragons | Ember production rate, crucible storage cap |
| Dragon Slayer | Embers & Crystals | Ember Multipliers | Embers per second, permanent dragon stats |
Advance through these machines systematically:
- Star Forge (Rebirth 8 Requirement): Deposit mass quantities of iron ingots to forge star metal. Rebirth 8 requires 5,000 star metal.
- Prism Refractor (Rebirth 9 Requirement): Feed stored crystals into the refractor to craft prisms. Reach the Prism Glyph room to boost refractor yield, then bank 25,000 prisms to trigger Rebirth 9.
- Dragon's Roost & Slayer (Rebirth 10): Stand in the Dragon's Roost to gather embers. Spend embers to hatch dragons, which generate passive embers per second (scaling over 4.5 million embers per second with upgrades). Max out your ember collection rate and crucible capacity at Dragon Slayer.
- Permanent Upgrades 9 & 10: Spend endgame crystals, embers, and prisms to lock all prior upgrade trees and glyph rooms permanently.
Reaching Tower 2: The Gateway Walkthrough
After completing Rebirth 10 and purchasing the final sets of stairs, you reach the summit of the tower: The Gateway.
The Gateway does not unlock with a single currency. Instead, it features a contribution pedestal requiring massive reserves across every major resource you have unlocked throughout your journey:
- Millions of Gold and Silver
- Hundreds of thousands of Iron Ingots
- Hundreds of thousands of Crystals
- High-tier Wood reserves
- Essence (hundreds of millions)
- Star Metal
- 4,000,000 Prisms
Work down through your production chains using the teleporter. Let your automated essence collector, maxed dragon embers, and boosted Prism Refractor run simultaneously. Once you contribute all required resources, the portal activates.
Stepping through the portal transports your character into Tower 2. Tower 2 introduces a fresh progression loop starting with the Pearl Beds, where you feed raw gold into oyster beds to cultivate pearls, the primary currency used to build the second tower's staircases.

Pro Tips for Maximum Efficiency
- Join the Group for Auto-Run: Joining the developer's Roblox group enables the in-game auto-run feature. This lets your character continuously purchase and climb stairs hands-free until you hit a currency wall.
- Do Not Sleep on Glyph Luck: When rolling glyphs in any room, prioritize purchasing the luck and roll speed upgrades on the room's board first. Higher luck unlocks rare glyph tiers exponentially faster, multiplying your income far more than standard stair progression.
- Stack Potion Durations: The Potion Merchant allows you to buy multiple stacks of 10-minute boosts up to a 3-hour cap. Potions persist through rebirths, giving you a huge speed advantage when rebuilding early floors.
- Unlock Trail Sets for Master Buffs: Check trail shops periodically. Purchasing every basic trail in a vendor's inventory often unlocks a special collection trail (such as the Collect Trail or Aurora Trail) that grants massive universal multipliers across gold, silver, iron, and luck.
- Prioritize Permanent Upgrade Nodes: Never trigger a rebirth immediately upon unlocking the door if a nearby Permanent Upgrade board is within reach. Spending a few extra minutes farming iron, wood, or crystals to permanently preserve an upgrade tree saves significant time on subsequent runs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Tower Incremental on Roblox?
Tower Incremental is an idle simulation game created by Lucky CStudios on Roblox where players buy stairs to ascend a massive tower, unlocking new mining areas, glyphs, smelters, and production mechanics with every floor milestone.
Do rebirths reset everything?
A standard rebirth resets your current stair progress and temporary currencies, but rewards you with massive universal multipliers to gold, silver, and iron. Certain elements, such as Lava Glyphs, initial glyph boards, and active potions, are preserved. Higher rebirth tiers also permanently save lower floors (for example, Rebirth 2 saves Floors 1 through 20, while Rebirth 5 saves Floors 1 through 80).
What does the Gateway at the top of the tower do?
The Gateway requires a large contribution of every primary material gathered across your run, including 4 million prisms. Supplying these resources opens a portal to Tower 2, which unlocks new progression systems beginning with the Pearl Beds.
How do you automate iron and essence collection?
Iron ore can be deposited automatically from anywhere in the tower once you buy the remote deposit perk at the Smeltery for gold. Essence collection becomes fully automated upon purchasing the final node in Upgrade Tree 4.
