70 Cealts per clear is the baseline. Here are three routes that push the per-run yield higher.
Route 1: Forest + Mines Only (Beginner)
Skip the Dungeon and Sewers. Clear Forest (8/8) + Dwarven Mines (7/7). Yield: ~50 Cealts. Time: ~14 minutes. Pro: Low risk, fast. Con: Lower per-run yield, no endgame Boon unlocks.
Route 2: Full Clear (Standard)
Forest → Mines → Dungeon → Bone Drake. Yield: 70 Cealts. Time: ~26 minutes. Pro: Highest Cealt-per-time ratio, plus full unlock milestones. Con: Highest wipe risk.
Route 3: Dungeon Speed Run (Veteran)
Skip Forest entirely. Start at Dwarven Mines Stage 1, rush to Bone Drake. Yield: ~45 Cealts (Dungeon-only weighting). Time: ~12 minutes. Pro: Fastest prestige grind. Con: Requires pre-built gear from prior runs.
Encounter Bonus Sources
Some encounters drop bonus Cealts: The Den (Long Rest node) gives +5 Cealts on first clear per run. Crimson Forge (Double Jeopardy) gives +10 Cealts if both twins are defeated. An Ancient Envoy (Performance of a Lifetime) gives +10 Cealts if both Faust and Felix are killed.
Boon Loadout for Farming
Predation (60 Cealts, 2 slots) for the kill-stacking damage boost. Long Rest's Well Rested (15 Cealts, 1 slot) for the +5 HP after every combat. Total: 75 Cealts, 3 slots. The setup pays for itself in ~1.5 runs.
The Robux Shortcut
Tier 5 exchange (500 R$ for 300 Cealts) is 1.66 R$ per Cealt. For the same 1625 Cealts needed to Prestige: 2708 R$ if buying all Cealts. Most veterans mix: grind to 700 Cealts, then buy the remaining 925 at Tier 5 (1534 R$).
