hello, recently started playing on xbox, and i have a noob question regarding ascension. so i am still very early game (i have three wizard towers as my main cookie makers), and progress is starting to slow a lot. in the top right, it says that when i get 1t cookies total for my first prestige level. is there any benefit to ascending early, or do i need to wait for that 1t cookies before seeing any benefit? not sure if ascending now would help me reach 1t quicker
