I think 50 chips (~1.3 Quadrillion cookies baked) is a good start for resets.

For people looking to reset the first time, make sure to snag any achievements you're really close to before you do for the milk/kitten bonus. If you're at 90+ portals/time machines, go for 100, if you can get Mathematician or Base 10 fairly quickly do those too. And have at least 1 quadrillion baked to get all 4 reset achievements in one fell swoop. Don't bother going for 100 condensers on your first run unless you like watching the game like a hawk for 4 days or idling for over a week.

If you're on your first run, you'll probably be better off just resetting soon. It's not going to be long before you're waiting a day or two between things worth buying. My first reset was 125 Heavenly cookies, and I got back to where I was roughly in two days, and it still took me another few to hit 100 condensors

This isn't my first rodeo, I have 105 Heavenly Chips currently.

I got my 100th with just a bit of perseverance and 129 chips, so it's not a horrible chore. If you have all the other achievements and upgrades (sans the 100 condenser and 240 cursor upgrades) you should be able to get the last 10 by diligently watching for golden cookies. Just make sure to stay above your Frenzy+Lucky threshold, then once you're at 98 just build up a mere 7.6 quad, buy the last two and you're good (to reset and do it all over again).

Cookie chains are no longer super-awesome. IIRC the most you can get is equivalent to about 2.5 lucky/frenzies and that's the best case. You'll have better luck going for lucky/frenzy combos.

They still are pretty awesome, going up to 66 quadrillion at max, which is around 10 lucky/frenzies for me at 2000 heavenly chips.

The chance of getting the max chain is rather low tho, I'd probably get those 10 easily between the 66 quad chains.

Of course, running 7 tabs at once and sniping red cookies from them ups that chance a lot :ninja:

If you don't click golden cookies, not at all.

If you do, it's extremely useful to maximize profits from them.

After five chains there's a chance it just ends. You have to be real lucky to get to the trillion/quadrillion ones.

I just got a Cookie Chain during a Frenzy for the first time, but it didn't multiply by 77. :( Ended at 666 million, too.

Well, I'm really seeing the effects of these chips now. I have to keep 11 quad around just to get my lucky/frenzies and I got to 100 condensers and the upgrade awfully fast. I don't think I'll ever get to sextillion fingers but I really want to see how good it is before I reset. I guess I'll just see if I can do that with what I have banked when I get home today before I reset.

Does resetting reset the golden cookie upgrades too? Getting the clicks for the upgrades is absolutely the worst, and they're the main late game income.

You lose the upgrades, but not your golden cookie clicks. You can buy them all again after clicking one golden cookie.

I guess I'm good to do my first reset at 127 chips then? I can't be bothered to go for the last 18 condensers yet. Maybe I'll grab the last few grandmas up to 200.

There's a lot of endgame talk going on in the thread, you can safely ignore it on your first run. In short, there's a prestige system built into the game and resetting your progress activates it.
For now, just buy more buildings as you can afford them to increase your CpS. Don't completely ignore the cheaper buildings, either. And if you see a golden cookie appear, click it. They give bonus cookies.

I had a second 66 quadrillion cookie chain, was going to reset to get over 1k chips. But if I leave Cookie Clicker running for too long I don't get the reset pop-up so I have to reload before resetting.

I reset right around that much. I got to 100 condensers on the following run, and in hindsight should have just reset again around 300 and done it that way.

When I get home today I should be at about 600. At what point do you start getting back to 100 condensers + upgrade in a dayish? It took me 3 days this time around at 400.

Around 500 for me. That's clicking most golden cookies and saving up for lucky and frenzied lucky at the right times though.

Well I spend about 16 hours working or sleeping and that's all idle time, and I'll reset right when I get home and kind of power through it for a while. If I'm derping and watching a show or something I'll get most of the cookies, but a lot of times I'm playing dota or cooking or going to the store or something else.

I mean cookies are important but I'm not THAT far gone yet.
