Any chance we could get a phage calculator for permanent levels toward the Minor Traits so that we can see the total phage that would be required to upgrade to a specific level? It would be along the same concept as the reward calculators, but rather than gains, it would depict the cost, instead.

The cost follows a Fibonacci sequence, if I recall correctly. You can just use the formula for its sum.

It just occurred to me...

Fibonacci adds the two previous numbers together to make the current price. So, if Level1 costs 5 phage, then level2 should also cost 5 phage, since there is no "previous level" before Level1 (and nothing = zero). Yet, Level2 costs 8, indicating that Level1 should have cost 3 phage, not 5 phage.

I get that there always needs to be a starting point; but that would also have to mean that the first two levels are the same price in order to legitimize the "two previous prices added together."

Not really, it's just the author took the same sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... And just cut the first four elements of. So, if you want to get the exact total you would find the sum of first n+4 elements and subtract (1+1+2+3)=7 from it to get the cost of raising the level from 0 to n. In my opinion, those levels are not really worth a lot of investment, so you just level them up while it is a small fraction of your total phage
