Match the resource to your next upgrade
| Goal | Where to focus | Decision to make first |
|---|---|---|
| New Mythic limit-break materials | Bosses and minibosses starting in Episode 3 | Reach the chapter that can award the material. |
| Mythic equipment | The full release slightly increased Episode 2 drop rates | Compare an actual drop with your leveled equipment before replacing it. |
| Donuts and Chocolate | Adventure rewards, Quest Board objectives and Support Desk requirements | Check the exact currency and amount your next upgrade needs. |
| Tokens | Runs and bonuses that fit your available build | Compare target tokens earned against clear time and failures. |
Make a repeatable comparison
- Pick one target material or currency.
- Record the starting amount and the time spent on a run you can complete reliably.
- Record the ending amount and count failed attempts in the time cost.
- Compare the target resource per minute at the same progression stage.
A harder run with more rewards can still be worse if it takes much longer or fails often. Avoid farming an older chapter for a new material that starts dropping only in Episode 3.
Check the Quest Board before grinding
Claim completed objectives and read whether a reward repeats. In the Early Access task table, the Epic weapon collection milestones awarded Chocolate once, while a World 5 clear objective marked as repeatable awarded Chocolate after its stated clear count. That is different from receiving Chocolate on every World 5 clear.
Exchanges are conversions, not free income
Read both sides of an exchange before confirming. Older exchange tables include quantity-losing conversions, such as spending eight Donuts for one Chocolate and converting one Chocolate back to five Donuts. Those are Early Access examples, not a reason to loop exchanges or assume the same price at your current shop.
