What Gold Is Used For (and Why It Matters) 🪙

Gold is your universal progress currency. Typical sinks include:

• Upgrades & reforges (weapon first, then keepers you’ll wear for weeks).
• Sockets & gems (cheap power that multiplies your DPS/HPS).
• Crafting mats & consumables for hard pushes.
• Build pivots (swapping talents/variants, trying new hero synergies).
• Because gold unlocks power without waiting for RNG, it’s the most reliable way to feel stronger every session.

Farming Principles That Actually Move Your Gold/Hour ⚖️

1. Zero downtime. Chain pulls, pre-position, and refill resources while moving.
2. Safety > speed (until you’re consistent). A single wipe deletes minutes of farming.
3. Target density. Choose routes with fast trash-to-boss cadence and minimal backtracking.
4. Two-run rhythm. Bank a clean run (no deaths) → push a faster one. Repeat.
5. Spend where it sticks. Gold invested in weapon, Legendary, and sockets gives the best payback.

First-Week Route (New/Returning Players) 🧭

• Day 1–2: Spam Quick Play for muscle memory and base gear. Focus on interrupts and clean openers.
• Day 3–4: Shift to entry Challenge dungeons on maps your comp handles well (fewer casters? less movement?).
• Day 5–7: Run a repeatable farm circuit: 2 quick clears to warm up → 2–3 Challenge clears for better drops → a final Quick Play for easy gold and mats.
• This pattern builds skill and wallet without getting stuck.

Daily & Weekly Checklist 🗓️

• Clear 2–3 fast maps you know by heart.
• Keep consumables stocked (potions/utility).
• Maintain at least one no-death clear per day (your safety baseline).
• Socket every keeper item; don’t leave free stats on the table.
• Revisit your pull plan once per week to remove time-sink packs.

Top Farming Methods (Ranked by Reliability) 🚀

1) Challenge Dungeon Farm

• Best gold/hour once you’re consistent.
• Use a practiced route with Battery → Battery → Drain cadence (two medium pulls to “charge” cooldowns, one big drain pull with DR → Burst).
• Record the run; fix one friction point each day.

2) Quick Play Speed-loops

• Lower stress, minimal setup, great for warm-ups or late-night chill.
• Aim for sub-15 min clears with zero deaths.
• Stack movement talents that protect uptime.

3) Event Windows & Rotations

• When live, events juice gold and mats. Pivot your loop for the bonus and come back to your usual route after.

4) Targeted Boss Rush (Group)

• For teams with strong burst windows: skip low-value siderooms and laser the shortest path to bosses.
• Requires disciplined kick coverage and pre-planned DR timelines.

5) Contract/Request Boards (when available)

• Knock out quick objectives while you travel between dungeon hubs.
• Treat them as filler during queue or regroup breaks.

Map/Dungeon Traits That Print Gold 🏰

Instead of memorizing names, chase these traits:

• Dense trash → short boss timers (little downtime between value packs).
• Linear layout (no forks, no backtracking).
• Caster packs grouped near corners/pillars (easier line-of-sight and stops).
• Two natural reset spots (safe drink/regen points).

If a map lacks those, it’s probably not your best farm—save it for score pushes.

Best Team Comps for Gold/Hour 🤝

Safe Farm (PUG-friendly): Tank (steady mitigation) + Healer (HoTs or burst-top) + Ranged DPS (reliable kicks) + Mobile DPS (cleave).

• Strengths: zero-death consistency, smooth chain pulls.
• Goal: repeatable 12–15 min clears.

Burst Farm (Premade): Tank with proactive DR + Healer with burst tools + 2 DPS that sync cooldowns.

• Strengths: erases boss checks, handles “drain pulls.”
• Goal: 10–13 min clears with planned windows.

Sustained Farm (Movement maps): Tank + Healer + 2 uptime-oriented DPS.

• Strengths: damage continues while dodging; fewer scuffed bursts.

Whichever you pick, guarantee two interrupts, one hard stop, and one group DR.

Solo vs. Group Farming — Which Pays Better? 🧑‍🚀 vs 👥

• Solo: flexible, zero queue time, good for learning. Lower ceiling on tougher maps.
• Group: higher peak gold/hour thanks to larger, safer pulls and shared cooldowns. Requires basic comms:
• “Group in 3…2…1,”
• “Kick skull—I’ve got X,”
• “DR → Burst,”
• “Dry after this” (healer low).

Spend Smart: Upgrades That Beat RNG 🧠

• Weapon first. Every point of damage/healing scales your speed and survival.
• Legendary next. If it changes your rotation or enables a talent line, it’s worth gold.
• Sockets & gems always. Hitting GCD/uptime breakpoints often outperforms tiny item-level bumps.
• Don’t upgrade throwaways. If a set piece isn’t part of your plan, keep it cheap.

Micro-Optimizations That Add Up ⚙️

• Pre-pull positioning: tank turns packs for cleave; DPS pre-casts movement.
• Interrupt matrix: fixed order (Skull → X → Moon) and a backup stop.
• Pathing edges: hug inside corners; diagonal lines shave seconds every room.
• Cooldown timers: align opens with safe windows—never into quake/soak.
• Keybind hygiene: put interrupt, stop, and “don’t die” buttons where your fingers live.

Common Gold-Farm Mistakes (and Fixes) ❌

• Overpulling to “save time.” One wipe = your last three minutes gone. Split the pack.
• Ignoring sockets. Empty holes = invisible DPS/HPS loss.
• Random routes. Run the same map, same route, same windows until it’s boring (boring = gold).
• Healer desync. Tanks must count down DR; healer precasts—don’t spam reactively.
• Upgrading junk. Only invest in weapons, Legendary, and the 2–3 pieces you’ll actually keep.

Example 90-Minute Gold Session ⏱️

• 10 min: Quick Play warm-up (no deaths, fix cross-talk).
• 25 min: Challenge clear #1 (safe) — bank a time.
• 25 min: Challenge clear #2 (push) — one drain pull added.
• 20 min: Quick Play reset — easy mats and a breather.
• 10 min: Review clip, swap one talent/gem, plan tomorrow’s tweak.
• Expect 4 clears, steady mats, and actionable notes for the next session.

QoL Settings to Protect Your Income 🎮

• Keep rhythm/beat cues audible; don’t drown them in SFX.
• Reduce UI clutter so you can see telegraphs while tracking cooldowns.
• Slight input queue can help with on-beat presses—too high causes fat-fingers.
• Use a consistent crosshair/reticle color that pops on dark stone floors.
