Wynncraft is a free custom MMORPG built entirely inside vanilla Minecraft - no mods, no client changes, just an enormous hand-crafted world (Wynn, Gavel, the Realm of Light, Corkus, and now Fruma) running on server-side data packs and resource packs. It layers a full RPG on top of Minecraft's combat: five classes with branching subclasses, a deep item-identification economy, hundreds of quests, dungeons, and four-player raids. This guide walks through it in the order a new adventurer should learn it - classes first, then how builds and money actually work, how to level efficiently, and finally what to expect inside each raid.
Every character picks one of five classes at creation, each built around a distinct weapon and four unique base spells (bound to keys 1-4). Classes also have a cosmetic "reskin" name for higher server ranks - purely visual, no gameplay difference. Skill points (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Defense, Agility) are actually free to spend on any class - the "leaning" below is community convention built up around each class's spells, not an engine restriction.

Hover or click a node to see what it does.
Each class branches into 3 archetypes via its Ability Tree - spend Archetype Points to specialize into one, or blend two for a hybrid build. Archetypes replaced Wynncraft's old, informal "no-fall-damage battle mage" style subclass culture. Ratings below (Damage / Tankiness / Difficulty) reflect each archetype's official wiki comparison tables, cross-checked against its ability-tree kit and the newest Ultimate abilities added in the 2.2.0 "Fruma" update.
No single BiS mythic dominates this archetype - the forum guide notes Battle Monk's power comes from combo/Ultimate timing more than gear, so most players build around whatever high-attack-speed melee weapon they have.
These are player-coined terms from Wynncraft Forums threads, current as of mid-2026 - they drift as balance patches land.
Pulled from the Wynncraft Forums thread "The Ultimate Build Guide" - these are the community's recommended non-mythic loadouts to run while you farm toward the mythic-centered builds listed on each archetype card above. Two practical notes the guide stresses repeatedly: theorycraft with Wynnbuilder (wynnbuilder.github.io) before committing materials to a build, and set up proper spell keybinds first - the guide calls them "necessary to reach highest damage potential," since cycling spells by clicking is a hard ceiling on DPS regardless of gear.
"Build" in Wynncraft means the full loadout of weapon, armor, accessories, powders, Tomes, and Aspects that shapes how a character plays. Current baseline: version 2.2.3 "Fruma Expansion" (originally released Apr 2026, patched since), which retired the old "Set" rarity and added item Ascension.
Six active drop rarities, plus player-made Crafted gear that sits outside the ladder entirely.
Unique
Rare
Legendary
Fabled
Mythic
| Rarity | Frequency | What defines it |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Very common | Fixed stats, always identified on pickup - the weakest tier. |
| Unique | Very common | Has an unidentified variant; modest ID pool. |
| Rare | Common | Weaker average IDs than Legendary, but many carry "gimmick" IDs that make them best-in-slot for specific builds. |
| Legendary | Uncommon | Lowest rarity that Tomes and Aspects can be; still very usable endgame gear outside mythic-required content. |
| Fabled | Rare | Sits between Legendary and Mythic; frequently carries unique Major IDs. |
| Mythic | Very rare | The chase tier - strongest elemental rolls, often build-defining Major IDs. A dedicated player can go many hours without one dropping. |
| Crafted | Player-made | Randomized stats from gathered materials + ingredients; has durability that degrades IDs below 50% and drops them to 10% at 0%. |
Every ID on a piece of gear rolls independently against its base value: positive IDs land anywhere from 30% to 130% of base (101 equally-likely outcomes, * at 101%+, ** at 125%+, *** only at the exact 130% cap); negative IDs (drawbacks) roll 70-130%. Re-identifying an already-identified item costs 5x the original ID cost - with only ~1-in-101 odds per line on a great roll, and a chase item carrying 8-12 lines, this scarcity is the single biggest driver of Trade Market prices.
Consumables used at the Item Identifier to influence a roll instead of leaving it to chance. All three are tradeable, but the price gap between them is enormous - figures below are order-of-magnitude community numbers, not quoted prices, since the Trade Market shifts constantly.
Legendary, 4 tiers (I-IV: +5% / +10% / +15% / +20%). Right-click the confirm button instead of left-click when identifying or rerolling - raises the floor of every positive ID roll on that item by the tier's amount.
Mythic, no tiers. Locks one chosen ID so it can't change during a reroll - consumed either way. Stacks with an Amplifier, but not with a Simulator (pick one per reroll).
Mythic, no tiers. Keeps the reroll count from increasing, so re-identifying doesn't compound toward the 5x-per-reroll cost mentioned above. Stacks with an Amplifier, but not with an Insulator.
Five elemental powders - Earth, Thunder, Water, Fire, Air - matching the five skill points, each with seven tiers (I weakest -> VII strongest, level-gated on the item). Socketing two Tier IV+ powders of the same element unlocks a Powder Special. Higher tiers are made by combining 4 powders of the same tier at an Item Upgrader (a 4:1 chain), which is why fully T6/T7-powdering an endgame item is one of the most grind-heavy parts of finishing a build.
| Element | Weapon special | Armor special (passive) |
|---|---|---|
 Earth | Quake - stun + burst damage | Rage - scales with missing HP, up to ~400% |
 Thunder | Chain Lightning - arcs to nearby enemies | Kill Streak - stacks per kill, caps ~200% |
 Water | Curse - marks target, amplifies damage taken | Concentration - scales with mana spent, caps ~150% |
 Fire | Courage - damage boost, also buffs allies | Endurance - stacks per hit taken, caps ~200% |
 Air | Wind Prison - immobilizes target, boosted damage | Dodge - stacks near mobs, caps ~150% |
Income sources, roughly ascending in scale: quests (~64 LE cumulative per class), raids and dungeons, professions/crafted-goods sales, and - the primary endgame moneymaker - Lootrunning procedurally structured chest routes, where reward quality scales with your Loot Bonus/Loot Quality IDs.
A cheap-first weapon pick for every 10 levels from 10 to 90 - no Trade Market shopping required, all Unique tier (common, inexpensive drops) rather than chase Legendaries or Mythics.

Most Wynncraft quests are straightforward - these are the ones the community consistently flags as genuinely tough, either from a punishing boss fight or from parkour/puzzle sections that trip people up. Starting NPC, prerequisites, and rewards are included where known, so you can tell how deep into a questline each one sits. Two quests once on lists like this - Eye of the Storm and The Fortuneteller - have since been removed from the game entirely, so they're left off here.
Watch out for: Death slowly circles you clockwise and can summon one boss from each of the six previous chambers at once - kill the summons before they pile up rather than ignoring them. Getting her stuck against an arena wall makes sustained DPS much safer.
NotesWatch out for: Qira runs 3 phases (375k HP, escalating to 500k in phase 3), summons elemental Hive Drones, and leaves a purple particle trail behind you - stepping back onto your own trail triggers an explosion that deals TRUE DAMAGE, ignoring Agility/dodge entirely.
NotesWatch out for: 2v1 against Tasim and Aledar together - killing one early makes the other much stronger. DPS builds should drop Aledar first (he hits harder); tank builds should drop Tasim first (more HP and elemental defense - he reaches 800k HP in phase 2).
NotesWatch out for: Bob's Reincarnation runs 4 phases: an arrow-storm volley that can nearly one-shot you if you're not at range, a vanish-then-rush melee phase, and a charge attack best dodged by moving in a triangle pattern. The water elemental adds heal him, so kill those first.
NotesWatch out for: Introduces Boss Altars - the fight against The Chief at the Tribal Sanctuary altar is explicitly meant for multiple people, not solo.
NotesWatch out for: Long jump-boost parkour section - if the boost runs out mid-climb you have to return to Professor Eih to recharge it. The final "boss" Yahya has 1,000,000,000 HP and is unwinnable by design - just run past him and out of the room instead of fighting.
NotesWatch out for: The series' infamous parkour section runs through the inside of the giant robot Garaheth - widely cited as one of the toughest platforming stretches in the game. A separate glass-connecting puzzle can become permanently unsolvable if you fail it, forcing a /kill reset.
NotesWatch out for: Officially rated Hard. A forced-scroll, flappy-bird-style airship platformer sends you back to the start on any hit, on top of a stealth mansion heist past Heavy Mansion Guards (16,500 HP) and a brutal Airship Captain fight (100,000 HP).
NotesWatch out for: A 10-second timed vent-closure sprint and a 2-minute bridge defense against Void creatures bookend a run of pipe/button puzzles - miss the vent timer and the room floods with enemies.
NotesWatch out for: Officially rated Hard despite the low level - you platform up the outside of a giant robot while it flamethrowers the path, then fight two Quartron Cores immune to knockback/blindness/slowness, before literally outrunning a countdown timer back out of the cave.
NotesWatch out for: An illusion-room platforming gauntlet (right-click gray blocks to shift the room, track which blocks are real) leads into a puzzle where you arrange six cores on a 2x3 grid to hit exactly 100 Explosive Power - the Gray Core loses power near any non-rainbow neighbor, so corner placement matters.
NotesWatch out for: Officially rated Hard. Spells are completely disabled for the mining and boss stages, so the minecart puzzle (precise right-click/left-click timing) and the final fight against 8 Bizarre Monoliths both have to be done on pure melee and movement.
NotesWatch out for: Three separate rescues, each its own mini-puzzle: throwing eggs to distract a bird for Fetu, screen-shaking parkour across unstable rocks for Yuge, and crafting a catapult from gathered materials to dig Gordon out of a collapsed house.
NotesWatch out for: A bookshelf puzzle needs matching colored books to a riddle about "first letters" and colors - and there's a Regular Zombie nearby that regenerates health too fast to actually kill, so don't bother fighting it.
NotesThese carry the game's own "Hard" difficulty tag (separate from quest length) - mostly late-game storyline finales that mix tough bosses with heavy puzzle/stealth sections.
Watch out for: A TNT puzzle demands precise explosive placement without destroying protected structures, then a timed bridge crossing gives you only 5 seconds before it collapses - all before the final fight against Commander Lilles.
NotesWatch out for: The Black Geist has a barrier that blocks all damage until you've collected a Corrupted Pearl and a Light item first - and it Vanishes/teleports to punish careless positioning.
NotesWatch out for: Tough late fights (King of the Parasitic Slimers, the pull/teleport Upside Downer) plus a void-portal puzzle where picking the wrong portal drops you into a dangerous arena.
NotesWatch out for: Realm of Light IV - the wiki flags this one Hard in its own right, on top of being deep into a long questline most players haven't started yet.
NotesWatch out for: The finale of the 5-part Realm of Light questline - the location itself is notoriously hard to find without a guide, on top of the Hard-rated combat.
NotesWatch out for: Three back-to-back multi-million-HP bosses: Sovereign Majin (11.5M HP, spotlight + beam attacks), Sovereign Tasim (7.8M HP, transforms into a butterfly form at 75%), and Her Majesty (13M HP, arena-wide spike patterns).
NotesWatch out for: Stage 3 throws six escalating enemy waves at you before you even reach the boss, Kaezu (1.225M HP with 400k-HP elite adds). The mirror-realm sections also have invulnerable enemies you're not meant to fight at all.
NotesWatch out for: A mid-quest duel against Syndra at full power leads into the real final fight: Sovereign Zhiraok, a 6M HP boss whose "Zero Out" ultimate hits a huge area once his health runs out.
NotesNot sure what to actually do first? Here's a rough path through the game, level by level - which quests are worth grabbing, when to detour into a dungeon, and where to just grind for a while. It's not the only way to play, but it's a solid default if you'd rather follow a plan than figure it out cold. Gold-ringed stops are the ones worth going out of your way for. Want exact grind-spot coordinates too? Check "Fast Leveling" under Advanced.
Kick things off grinding the Emerald Trail out in Nivla Woods for a few levels, then swing back for "The Sewers of Ragni" - your first proper quest, and it drops you straight into the Decrepit Sewers dungeon. Nothing to overthink here, just enjoy the ride.
Detlas opens up the Black Road and Pigmen's Ravine for some easy grinding. Whenever you're ready, grab "Arachnids' Ascent" and clear the Infested Pit dungeon while you're in the area.
Head to Ancient Nemract and pick up "Grave Digger" at Saint's Row, then follow the story into "The Dark Descent" - that one leads you straight into the Underworld Crypt.
The desert grind around Almuj keeps you moving. "Kingdom of Sand" is worth doing here too - it unlocks the Sand-Swept Tomb dungeon right after.
This stretch has Tower of Ascension waiting for you - a genuinely tough fight, but it hands out one of the biggest single XP rewards in the early game, so it's worth pushing for even if it takes a couple tries. "Fate of the Fallen" and the Ice Barrows dungeon round things out.
"Corrupted Betrayal" leads into Undergrowth Ruins, then settle into Herb Cave for a while - it's one of the most reliable grind spots in the whole game, so don't rush past it.
"Redbeard's Booty" and the Galleon's Graveyard dungeon come first, then start the Realm of Light questline with "The Worm Holes" - that's the one that unlocks your Mastery Tome slots, so grab it even if raiding still feels far off. Corrupted dungeons at The Forgery also open up around level 65, a great repeatable XP loop worth remembering for later.
From here on, a few single quests are worth more than a whole grinding session. Lean on the Corrupted Infested Pit and Corrupted Lost Sanctuary at The Forgery to fill in the gaps between them.
Push through to Realm of Light V and take a shot at Orphion's Nexus of Light once your build can handle it. Freezing Heights is a solid, unglamorous grind spot to round out the rest of the way to 90.
The Canyon Colossus becomes an option at 95 if you're geared for it. Otherwise, keep leaning on Corrupted dungeons and grind out Mirror Cave on the Sky Islands on your way to 100.
"A Journey Beyond," then "A Journey Further" - these carry you to the edge of what used to be the endgame before Fruma. Eldritch Outlook waits at the end of it, and Witness Church (nicknamed the "Eyeball Forest") is your grind spot along the way.
"Queen's Recruit" bridges you straight into the Fruma questline. "A Journey Home" is the single biggest XP quest in the entire game - 15.3 million XP in one go, don't skip this one. From there you're into five story chapters through Auburn Forest, The Steel Feather, and beyond, capped off by The Wartorn Palace raid once you hit 120.
Once the basics from Builds & Economy click, this is where builds actually get pushed further - the account-wide systems layered on top of gear, what finishing a build really costs, and the named archetypes builds tend to fall into.
14 slots across 7 types (Armour, Weapon, Marathon, Expertise, Mysticism, Lootrunning, Guild) buffing stats outside your equipped gear. Legendary -> Fabled -> Mythic (~1-in-27 odds per qualifying drop). Earned from raid reward pools.
5 slots buffing specific Ability Tree nodes, shared account-wide. Legendary Aspects make minor tweaks; Fabled improve archetype abilities; only one Mythic Aspect can be active at a time, forcing a real build choice.
Consume one Ward of all 7 colors to "ascend" select Mythics. 30% base success chance, or guaranteed by also sacrificing a duplicate copy of the same Mythic - wards are consumed either way. The single most expensive upgrade path in the game.
Figures below are order-of-magnitude community numbers from Trade Market snapshots and forum price-check threads - Wynncraft's economy shifts with every content update, so treat these as directional, not quoted prices.
Normal/Unique/Rare drops picked up organically while questing. Unpowdered or low-tier (I-III) powders. No re-identification needed - most content up to mid-game doesn't require optimized rolls.
Legendary/Fabled items with average (not perfect) rolls, Tier IV-V powders for Powder Specials, starter Tomes and a Legendary/low-Fabled Aspect. Comfortable for group dungeons and the lower raids.
Full Fabled/near-BiS-Legendary base plus one or two Mythics in high-impact slots, Tier VI powders on key items, Fabled/Mythic Tomes, and a matched Fabled or single Mythic Aspect.
4-6 specific well-rolled Mythics (individually ~2-25 stx each), max-tier powders everywhere, Mythic Tomes, and often a full Ascension - pricing well beyond 50 stx once truly perfect rolls are chased.
Fast attack speed + high base weapon damage - the classic mobbing / farming / lootrunning build.
Maximizes a single slow hit for huge per-swing numbers - strong against tough single targets like bosses.
Uses ID combos to cancel the attack-speed penalty that heavy-damage gear normally imposes.
Reduces spell cost via Intelligence or negative-cost IDs to cast as fast and cheaply as possible.
Extreme spell-damage IDs that also spike spell cost - huge per-cast nukes for boss fights.
Sustains a spell-focused build via mana steal instead of raw regen, for long fights.
Deals meaningful damage through both melee and spells - flexible, popular in PvP.
Defense, HP, and elemental resistance (or healing IDs) prioritized for holding aggro or keeping a party alive.
Stacks damage-over-time rather than direct hits - effective against high-defense single targets.
Stacks walk/sprint/jump IDs with just enough survivability - built for fast lootrun chest routes.
Quests alone only cover roughly 27% of the XP needed to hit max level - the rest comes from mob grinding. The efficient path mixes both: quests carry you through the story and hand out huge one-off XP bursts at key levels, while grinding fills the gaps between them.
For every level of difference between you and a mob (above or below), you lose 3% of that mob's base XP - dropping to 0 XP at a 34+ level gap. This is why guides constantly say to change grinding spots every 5-10 levels rather than overstaying one camp.
Early armor set with a +50% XP bonus set effect - the wiki's own recommended leveling set for new characters or alts.
Rank-perk item that boosts mob spawn rate (not per-kill XP) in a radius for 5 minutes - more kills per minute is the real lever. Doesn't work inside dungeons/raids.
Being in a party grants roughly +20% bonus XP to nearby members - group grinding is more efficient per person, not just faster.
Combat XP Bombs (20-minute server-wide 2x) and periodic Double XP Weekends stack with gear XP bonus.
Every coordinate below is (X, Z) - X is east/west, Z is north/south (ignore Y, that's just height). Click any coordinate to copy it. A "~" in front means sources disagreed by up to a few hundred blocks, so treat it as "nearby" rather than exact. "Region only" means no numeric coordinates could be confirmed anywhere we checked - go by the named area instead.
| Spot | Coords | Why it's good |
|---|---|---|
| Nivla Woods / Emerald Trail (1-7) | Starter zone, easy zombies, first easy-kill area right outside Ragni. | |
| Pigmen's Ravine (14-30) | Wide effective level range, decent density across multiple mob types. | |
| Mt. Wynn Spider Pit (20-28) | Spiders split into silverfish on death - very AoE-farm friendly. | |
| Saint's Row Graveyard (26-30, quest-gated) | Strong 119-211 XP/kill and less crowded since it's quest-gated. |
| Spot | Coords | Why it's good |
|---|---|---|
| Llevigar Spider Nest (40-42) | High XP ceiling - up to ~1,705 XP per kill on tougher spiders. | |
| Ice Wraith Cave (43-47) | region only | High-HP mobs (2,135-5,625 HP) yield 378-1,529 XP per kill. |
| Ember Cave (51-53) | region only | Huge flat HP pool (9,975) on its mobs for big per-kill XP. |
| Herb Cave (52-70) | Cited across multiple guides as a strong, long-lasting grind zone - best in the narrower 58-68 range. |
| Spot | Coords | Why it's good |
|---|---|---|
| Dullahan's Castle (65-67) | Very high XP ceiling per kill - up to ~6,011 XP. | |
| Temple / Training Arena (71-78) | One of the most recommended spots - static, high-density, reliable trainers. | |
| Defiled Cave (~50-89) | Exceptional spawn density; melee classes handle it far better than squishy ranged builds. | |
| Corrupted Dungeons, The Forgery (71-90) | region only | Harder reskins of early dungeons, no quest gate - a core burst-XP loop from 70+. |
| Spot | Coords | Why it's good |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing Heights / Basalt Cave (85-94) | Consistently recommended across independent guides for this bracket. (Coordinate is for "Basalt Basin" specifically - unconfirmed whether that's the same spot players call "Freezing Heights".) | |
| Mirror Cave, Sky Islands (96-100) | Up to ~3,457 XP/kill with good density. | |
| Frozen Fort (100-106) | region only | Up to ~21,027 XP per kill. |
| Witness Church / "Eyeball Forest" (101-110) | The single highest per-kill XP spot documented pre-Fruma - up to ~55,111 XP/kill. | |
| Fruma Province (105-120) | region only | 23 new caves and 15 new World Events - the new top-end zone, still an emerging part of the community's knowledge base. |
These four come up constantly in partyfinder and community guides - named enough that people just say the name rather than coordinates, though the coordinates are here too.
North of the Great Bridge, between Troms Jungle and Nesaak Forest. Dead Miners and Herb Spawns spawn fast for reliable XP, plus a slow-moving Deceased Professor miniboss and a chance at the rare Iboju Mollusk.
Kander Forest, just east of Dullahan's Castle. Home to the Visceral Remnant mobs and the Flesh Amalgam miniboss (Lv 75) - listed on partyfinder as "Flesh Cave."
Near Aldorei Town and Cinfras. Community opinion is split - several guides call it a waste of time solo in the 71-80 range, but recommend it 81-90 if you've got a party to share the load.
The Mech Scrapyard on Corkus Island, southeast of Corkus City behind the Fallen Factory. Full of mechs (electromagically-animated robots) - a party grind spot, not really a solo one.
Auburn Forest in Fruma, beside the Royal Dam near the Aelumia Citadel plateau. Cliff Scuttlers (393k HP, weak fodder) and Scarlet Megabats (620k HP, immune to blindness/knockback/slowness) - popular because both are easy to kite compared to Fruma's other high-level spots.
Every raid follows the same skeleton: enter with a raid-specific Rune (consumed on entry, exact party of 4 required) -> clear a sequence of challenge rooms, each built around a puzzle, gauntlet, or timed objective -> pick a power-up after each room -> fight a climactic boss -> open a shared weighted loot chest. Ordered below from oldest/lowest level to newest/highest.
| Raid | Combat lvl | Release order | Difficulty | Loot quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nest of the Grootslangs (NOTG) | 54+ | 1st - oldest | Easiest - entry raid | Weakest (Tier 1 Tomes) |
| Orphion's Nexus of Light (NOL) | 79+ | 2nd | 2nd easiest (contested - some rate it harder than TCC) | Middling |
| The Canyon Colossus (TCC) | 95+ | 3rd | 2nd hardest | Strong, most consistently profitable |
| The Nameless Anomaly (TNA) | 103+ | 4th | Hardest of the original four - "requires a good party or you'll probably lose" | Strong / highest gear tier |
| The Wartorn Palace (WTP) | 119+ | 5th - newest | Unclear - too new for a settled verdict | Unclear - too new for a settled verdict |
Most-cited difficulty order among the original four: NOTG -> TCC -> NOL -> TNA - not unanimous, group-to-group experience varies. Those four received a major mechanical rework in update 2.1 "Rekindled World"; WTP (2.2.0) hasn't been out long enough to earn a place in that ranking yet.
A subterranean breeding ground where normally-peaceful Grootslangs have turned frenzied after parasitic Dernmites began growing inside them. The oldest raid in the game, and the entry point into raiding.
NOTG's rooms don't have much documented role-split strategy beyond the mechanics above - unlike the other raids below, no deeper community-established "optimal split" was found for this one.
Level 100, ~1.8M HP. Weak to Fire; resists Earth/Thunder; immune to Blindness/Knockback. Has 3-21 independent body segments that buff its abilities while alive - destroying them damages the head directly, favoring AoE/piercing kits.
Orphion, embodiment of Light and an ally from the Realm of Light questline, has been infected by a parasite that's decaying Light itself. Players fight to purify him.
Orphion (6.5M HP) must be freed from possession; key danger is Solar Shower (below 50% HP) - a collapsing black hole that pulls everyone in for massive damage. Phase 2, The Parasite (4M HP), uses Power Struggle: it "overtakes" a player, who must land class-specific spell prompts to resist or be forced to harm allies.
An ancient guardian statue built to protect Gavel has gone erratic after prolonged neglect. Players work with Elder Astal to calm it.
Level 200. Resists Earth/Fire/Blindness/Slowness, immune to Knockback. Fights across floating shards that permanently sink from Destructive Sight (unlocked at 50% HP) - the arena genuinely shrinks as the fight goes on.
A metaphysical entity from the Realm of Darkness is tearing holes between reality and the Void, ripping pieces out of the world with no apparent awareness of the destruction it causes. Newest and hardest raid.
~Level 300, 18,000,000 HP - the highest-HP boss in the game. Resists Thunder/Water/Air and Blindness/Slowness, immune to Knockback. Goes invulnerable at 66%/33% HP for The Watched, firing true-damage beams worth 50% of your max HP if you don't dodge them.
WTP
The Queen of Fruma's palace is being consumed by corruption from within. Unlocked only after finishing "Apotheosis," the quest that closes out the entire Fruma storyline - this is the narrative capstone of that questline, not just another raid to walk into. Newest raid in the game (2.2.0).
95,000,000 HP - by far the highest of any raid boss, with no combat level shown. Fire/Thunder/Air damage; immune to Blindness/Knockback, resistant to Slowness. Continuously summons Devil-type adds (Kalasutras, Killing Intents, Menaces, Weights of Suffering) throughout the fight.
Cooking is one of the three Consumable professions. A Cooking Station recipe is really a base of Meat + Grain (which sets duration and healing) with room to slot in one of the named ingredients below - that ingredient is what actually gives the food its buff. Sorted by the crafting level needed to use each one; click one for where to get it, its rarity, and roughly what it costs.

| Method | Level range | What you'll need | What it pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profession Grinding | Any level, 1-132 that's profession level, not combat level |
A profession you don't mind leveling, and a quick check of Wynnventory to see what's actually selling | Starts slow, but can climb past 4 stx LE/hour once your profession level gets high |
| Rare Mob AFK | Roughly 80-120 | Solid Loot Bonus gear, plus somewhere quiet to park yourself | Can be great, but the biggest numbers people report come from running several accounts at once, not just one |
| Outer Void | 95 and up | Finish the "One Thousand Meters Under" quest first - no combat gear needed | Roughly 25-38 LE/hour, based on a real player's own logged hours |
| T3 Redwood (Woodcutting) | Woodcutting Lv 115+ | Woodcutting leveled all the way to 115 | Around 1-4 stx LE/hour, though it depends a lot on how the roll goes |
| T3 Cinnabar (Mining) | Mining Lv 115+ | Mining leveled all the way to 115 | Same idea as Redwood - same rare Tier 3 roll, just from ore instead of wood |
| T3 Heather (Farming) | Farming Lv 115+ | Farming leveled all the way to 115 | Same idea again - roughly 1-4 stx LE/hour if the roll cooperates |
| T3 Mahseer (Fishing) | Fishing Lv 115+ | Fishing leveled all the way to 115 | Same idea once more - roughly 1-4 stx LE/hour if the roll cooperates |
| Lootrunning | 104 and up | A build that can actually survive endgame content | The highest ceiling here by far, but swingy - one chest might be junk, the next a Mythic |
Level any gathering or crafting profession and sell what you make - Wynnventory (a community mod/site) tracks live Trade Market prices so you know what's actually worth crafting before grinding for it. Scales the higher your profession level goes.
Rare mobs spawn on fixed timers at fixed locations - stack Loot Bonus gear and park a character there. Profit is real, but the biggest reported numbers come from running several accounts at once, not one.
A combat-free zone reached after the "One Thousand Meters Under" quest - traverse floating asteroids (sneak, then boost, to jump between them) collecting scrap that sells straight to the Scavenger. No fighting, no gear check beyond mobility items.
Redwood is the last and highest-tier wood, gated behind Woodcutting level 115. Refining it into paper only has a 1% chance of rolling Tier 3 (versus 89% T1 / 10% T2) - that scarcity is what makes it worth farming at all.
Cinnabar is Mining's equivalent to Redwood - the last ore unlocked, at the same level 115. Same 1% Tier 3 roll, refined into either ingots (weapons/armor) or gems (accessories) depending on which you need.
Heather is Farming's top-tier crop, also gated at level 115. Refines into string (Tailoring/Woodworking) or grains (Cooking/Alchemism) - same rare 1% Tier 3 chance as the other three.
Mahseer rounds out the set - Fishing's highest-tier catch, level 115 again. Yields oil (Woodworking/Jeweling/Alchemism/Scribing) or meat (Cooking), with the same 1% Tier 3 odds as the rest.
The primary endgame moneymaker (full details in the Lootrunning section under Endgame) - procedurally generated chest routes where reward quality scales with your Loot Bonus/Loot Quality IDs. Highest ceiling of any method here: Mythics, Shiny Mythics, and lootrun-exclusive gear.
Named rare mobs with confirmed exact coordinates - the wiki lists plenty more, but most only give a vague region ("Sky Islands," "around 2 spawn nodes") with no numbers to click-copy. These five are the ones that actually have precise spawn coordinates documented.
| Mob | Level | Region | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bushpig Matriarch | 85 | Corkus | |
| T-55 Elusive Surveillance Camera | 90 | Corkus Island | |
| Pegasus | 92 | Sky Islands (White Cloud) | |
| Plains Guardian | 78 | Cinfras County | |
| Infermyrial Stalker 3 spawn spots |
68 | Dark Forest |

The level-250 boss capping "Prelude to Annihilation," a Major World Event added in the 2.1 "Rekindled World" update. Fought at the Corruption Portal in the Roots of Corruption, it recurs roughly every 3 days and is announced server-wide in chat ("Hateful echoes erupt from the Portal..."). Unlike the four-player raids above, up to 10 players can fight it at once - boss HP scales with party size and average level, from roughly 30M HP solo at level 105 up to roughly 185M HP with a full 10-player group.
What each consumable type does and how to get it - not a ranked "best" pick, see the caveat below.
Craft at a Scribing Station. A scroll's effect applies to everyone within a 10-block radius, not just the user - stack the party together and pop scrolls 20-30 seconds before engaging so the buff is live when the fight starts.
How to get itCraft at an Alchemism Station from Oil + Grains + optional Crafting Ingredients - grain tier drives potency more than oil tier. Basic Health/Mana potions also drop from mobs and loot chests, or can be bought from Potion Merchants if you'd rather buy than craft.
How to get itCraft at a Cooking Station, or buy pre-made food on the Trade Market. Lower potency than potions but a much longer duration - better for sustaining the full 30-minute timer than for a burst heal.
Open the in-game party browser with /party finder (or /partyfinder), also reachable via Party Finder NPCs in towns, dungeons, and raids. Its Party Queue only lists the four raids plus The Forgery - Annihilation isn't a queueable entry there, since it's an open world event anyone can join rather than an instanced raid. In practice, players list a party manually (category/ description, minimum combat level, party size up to 10) or just recruit through guild/global chat once the recurring event timer starts counting down.
Thunder/Fire damage, Earth/Fire defenses, immune to knockback and slowness, resistant to blindness. A large kit built around area denial and adds that heal it if left alive.
Tomes are passive-bonus items slotted into your character's 14 Mastery Tome slots (Character Info menu, unlocked after completing "The Worm Holes" quest chain, with more slots opening as your combat level rises). There are 7 tome types, and each slot only accepts tomes of its own type. Hover or tap a slot on the real in-game menu below to see what goes there.
Hover or tap a slot (or a category chip below) to see what it holds.
Aspects buff specific Ability Tree nodes and are shared account-wide, not character-bound. Every character has 5 Aspect slots (1 free, then unlocked at combat level 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 + Sentinel III raiding), and each of the 5 classes has its own separate pool of Aspects, split into 3 rarities:

A full, from-scratch lootrun reference - beacons, missions, trials, pull-farming strategies, camp-by-camp danger callouts, and class builds. It's a lot to take in at once, so jump straight to what you need with the links below, or read top to bottom if you're brand new to the gamemode.
Lootrunning is a roguelite gamemode: you run around a camp completing challenges and stacking buffs, which earn you chests and reward pulls to spend on a final chest with a strong reward pool - most notably Mythics. No two runs play out quite the same, since almost everything is decided by what you're offered in real time, but the strategies below cover the patterns worth building around.
Start lootrunning around level 104-120 - most requirements assume a near-endgame build anyway, and you'll want one to actually survive. To unlock a camp, complete the quests and caves tied to its region (all seven camps are marked in your Content Book); cave completions are separate per class, but quest completion is shared account-wide, so if you already power-leveled a different class you may have most requirements met already.
Your build barely matters at the very start. Once you reach Master division, switch to a build from the Builds section below. One early spoiler worth knowing now: if Assassin or Archer is your only leveled class, it's worth leveling one of the other three - see the Builds section for why.
You automatically join the Lootrun Syndicate the first time you lootrun. Reaching Master division (4610 XP) unlocks every beacon up to Rainbow, and is the real gate before any of the strategies below become relevant - the fastest way there is simply running 12-challenge runs without overthinking them. Each camp also has its own daily XP bonus, so running one on each unlocked camp is worth it while leveling divisions.
Beacon strength is written as (base / Vibrancy / Aqua / Vibrant+Aqua) throughout this guide. Vibrancy and an Aqua boost each add power on their own, and stack even higher together - a beacon that's both Vibrant and Aqua-boosted (an aquastack) is the strongest version you can get.
Empowers (+100%) or Greatly Empowers (+200%) the next beacon offered. Almost every other beacon is worth taking aqua-boosted first if you can. Stacks up to 3 times, capped at +400% total power.
Summons 2/3/4/5 flying chests, each roughly as good as a T3 chest. The backbone of any "yellow run" built around farming boxed mythics.
Grants 4 boon choices at 100/200/300/400% potency (max 30 taken per run). Boons are stat buffs - some are static (a fixed effect the moment you take them), others dynamic (scale up as you meet an ongoing condition, like killing something every 60 seconds).
Grants 2/4/6/8 curses and the same number of reward pulls. Curses make enemies stronger in exchange for pulls - Damage +25% each, Health +30% each, Damage Resistance +5% each (caps at 70%), Radiant Power +1 each, and Radiant Chance +2.5% each. See Misc. Info below for what Radiance actually does.
Grants 2/3/4/5 beacon rerolls. Common early on, which makes it one of the easiest ways to lock in a good run setup before it gets rarer.
Grants 5/10/15/20 curses and the same number of reward pulls - the purple beacon's much stronger, one-time sibling. Worth saving for the very end of a run.
Grants 6/9/12/15 extra challenges that add no time to your timer - you get nothing on arrival or completion. Cannot be overridden by white beacons.
Grants 15/20/25/30 extra challenges, and unlike red, these ones do add time normally. Red beacons taken afterward can still override this, so keep an eye on your timer if you've taken both.
Adds 210/330/450/570 seconds to your timer, and voids enemy stat buffs for the next 1/2/3 challenges (only boosted by Aqua/Vibrant Aqua, not plain Vibrancy). Once your timer passes 15 minutes you stop gaining time from challenges naturally - a Green Beacon overrides that cap.
Grants an extra beacon choice slot for 10/15/20/25 challenges. Essential for keeping your run's pace up - prioritize this hard in the opening challenges.
Makes every beacon Vibrant for the next 15/20/25/30 challenges. Having this active is close to a requirement for getting full value out of every other beacon type.
Grants 3/4/5/5 mission choices. Missions shape your whole run by handing out pulls or quality-of-life effects; your first mission choice always arrives right after challenge 4. Gray beacons taper off around challenge 50, or after being skipped about 10 times.
Grants 2/3/4/4 trial choices. Trials play like tougher missions - big pull generation or reroll/sacrifice payouts, at the cost of a real penalty while active. They stop appearing around challenges 65-70, or sooner if skipped 6-8 times on low beacon choices.
Every run should follow this basic shape, roughly in order:
Your first mission choice arrives at the end of challenge 4, then again after each Gray Beacon. Missions provide passive buffs that shape your whole run.
After opening a Flying Chest, remove one of your Curses.
Spawns 2 flying chests after every challenge you complete.
After opening 8 flying chests, choose 1 boon at 300% potency from 2 options.
After being offered 25 items from Flying Chests, randomly get +3 Pulls, +1 Boon, +1 Curse, or +30s.
Gaining 2 Pulls adds an extra Flying Chest to your next Yellow Beacon (up to +12).
Your boons are now 50% more effective.
Purple and Blue beacons are obscured (you can't tell which is which before taking one), but are always Greatly Empowered - equivalent to a Vibrant Aqua boost.
After obtaining a curse, consume 1 Boon to gain +1 Pull, plus +2 Pulls per 50% of Potency over 100%.
Taking a Boon type you already own grants +1 Pull per duplicate you already have - gaining a new duplicate instantly rewards more pulls the more you already own. That escalates fast, but each duplicate type also reduces your Boons' potency by 50%, so owning many different duplicate types hurts your boon power.
Gain 2 beacon choices for the current challenge for every beacon reroll you use (still capped at 6 total choices).
Being offered a Purple Beacon gives you +1 Curse, and Purple Beacons now grant double Pulls.
Getting a curse adds +50% Potency to your next Boon (caps at +300%).
Curses are now half as effective.
Killing a Radiant challenge mob grants +1 Pull (max +5 Pulls per challenge), and cleanses 1 Radiant Chance curse per 15 pulls earned this way.
A beacon you reroll won't be re-offered until every other beacon has run out of ways to appear first.
If an Aqua Beacon is offered, every beacon offered alongside it gets boosted by that same Aqua.
Gain +50% Vibrancy chance.
Every time you add +300 seconds to your timer, gain +1 Beacon Reroll.
Your timer doesn't tick down while you're picking a beacon (up to 5 minutes saved this way).
Chests now give +1 Pull, but cost 10s (+5s per chest opened) off your Timer - completing a challenge reduces this penalty by 15s. Only chests found naturally in the environment or from spelunk challenges count; flying chests and Slay/Defend/Destroy reward chests don't. Corkus has by far the most eligible chests, with Molten Heights a close second.
For the next 15 minutes, all mob stat increases are voided - both passive buffs from completed challenges and any curses you've taken.
Gain +1 Pull per Red Beacon challenge completed. This bonus increases by +1 every 6 challenges completed (max +3), and resets the moment you take a Green Beacon.
After completing a challenge, gain +7 Pulls, reduced by 1 for every challenge you have left (down to a minimum of 0) - so it's most rewarding right as your run is ending, and worthless early with many challenges still remaining.
Adds +1 Crimson Beacon to your pool - effectively trades a Mission slot for an extra Trial.
Gain +10 Pulls and +1 End Reward Reroll.
Gain +1 End Reward Sacrifice.
After finishing a Challenge, consume 1 Pull to gain +3 Challenges.
After finishing a Challenge, get an additional random Beacon reward. It can't grant Crimson (trial) or Gray (mission) effects, and can't repeat one-time beacons (like White or Dark Gray) you've already taken - common beacon effects (Yellow, Blue, Purple) come up far more often than rare ones (Orange, Rainbow).
Tier ratings below assume you can actually survive/clear the trial's objective - a trial you can't complete safely is never worth the penalty regardless of tier.
Easy, with good rewards for the risk - the most basic trial in the game and a sleeper pick precisely because of that.
Another easy trial, leaning into sacrifices instead of rerolls. Great for hunting high-value mythics or shinies, and a good first trial while mobs are still easy.
12 challenges is very manageable, even in the tougher Fruma camps. Between the curse cleansing and Green Beacons voiding mob buffs, this doubles as an extremely powerful pull method and a serious quality-of-life boost. Complete Chaos's random Green Beacon effects work with this trial too.
A one-time payout that can be huge. To maximize it, avoid challenges that force you to kill lots of mobs while you stack as many curses as possible - Inner Peace is great here to slow down how fast Radiance builds while you stack curse count.
Extremely strong paired with Lights Out for raw pull runs. The 75% boost applies to whatever pull value you had the instant you completed the trial - fill the requirement almost all the way, then aquastack a Purple or Dark Gray beacon to finish it and maximize the boosted amount.
Your timer still refills to 75s every time you reach a beacon or complete/fail a challenge, Green Beacons can't override the cap, dying between challenges (not during one) costs time, and you still gain time on Red Beacons until the trial completes. Fast with a good chest route, or trivial during any yellow-chest run - you can also just leave it running in the background as long as you don't die between challenges or dawdle inside one.
Interludes go by fast if you can generate pulls quickly, which limits how many boons you actually lose - but losing strong boons still stings.
Very fast with Dark Gray/Purple beacons or Jester's Trick. If you have no boons left, the trial can't take challenges from you either, but you still get the reward - be careful if you're sitting on a lot of boons though.
Should almost always be your 2nd trial. The classic "run killer" for when you don't want to push to 100 challenges - fewer total rerolls than a Dying Light + All In combo, but you keep your sacrifices. Aquastacking Vibrant Green beacons before and after taking it can net a huge number of rerolls. It won't grant a reroll on an activation if your timer has less time left than it's trying to remove (typically the very last trigger before your run ends).
Hitting the Potency requirement is fast enough to outrun the penalty, and this pairs extremely well with All In. Take rainbow beacons sparingly beforehand so you have some in reserve for while this trial is active.
Gives instant value even with just 3 sacrifices banked, and is at its best paired with Dying Light for a huge reroll payout. Unlike Gambling Beast, it leaves you with 0 sacrifices afterward.
Not really worth taking. Completing a beacon color makes it transparent and unlabeled ("Obscured Beacon") for 7 challenges, even if you finish the trial in the meantime, meaning you often can't tell what you're picking.
"Active" combos mean building your whole run around the strategy; "Passive" ones can be layered on top of any other run.
The strongest pull strategy currently available. It's less a standalone method and more the evolution of the others below, using Lootrun Daily Bonus Refresh Tokens (bought with Silverbull Shares) to push a good run's pull count even higher - ideally 3 tokens per run, applied with /use sometime before the run ends once you're confident the run is actually good. Tokens are cheap enough that even a fraction of a 32-pack's cost is usually made back from one strong run.
Long runA simple trial that eats up only a small part of your run for a strong payout - just stack as many curses as possible (Purple Beacons, the Dark Gray Beacon, and Porphyrophobia are your best sources) and avoid challenges that spawn lots of mobs, using rerolls to filter them out.
Missions highly recommendedPairing pull-granting missions with Chronotrigger's curse-cleansing multiplier lets you rack up thousands of raw pulls with relative ease. Porphyrophobia is the main generator; alternate Vibrant Purple and Vibrant Green beacons, and sync Purple with Aqua via Beleza Pura for extra strength.
Synergy missionsOn the surface this just means spamming duplicate boons, which alone nets several hundred pulls. Pairing it with Interest Scheme and Hoarder instead builds a feedback loop (Hoarder triggers more often, feeding Interest Scheme) that can produce an absurd number of pulls and plenty of mythic boxes - for that variant, just spam Yellow beacons and avoid taking any Blue beacons before the trial begins, since only 30 can be taken total.
Mission requiredKnife's Edge can ride alongside most other strategies for a decent pull bonus - take low-power Red Beacons to keep your remaining challenge count low, and avoid anything that extends your run further (Rainbow, High Spirits, White Beacons, Sacrificial Ritual). Thrill Seeker adds more value from completing Red Beacon challenges without needing Greens; keeping Side Hustle active (without completing it) guarantees time even on Red Beacons. Note Thrill Seeker becomes pointless if you're also running Chronotrigger.
Synergy pairThe go-to method for farming boxed mythics while still banking a solid pull count - very profitable, and benefits heavily from Loot Bonus/Loot Quality gear. Cycle Aqua into Yellow beacons to spawn huge numbers of flying chests, then let Jester's Trick convert whatever your run needs from the chests opened. A Loot Chest Bomb helps a lot in Canyon of the Lost Excursion and The Corkus Traversal, whose base chest quality is lower; this method is most valuable for high-tier boxed mythics in either Fruma Foray camp.
Missions requiredA simple two-stage strategy: spam aquastacked Blue beacons until roughly challenge 90, then switch to aquastacked Purple and Dark Gray beacons to convert your accumulated boons into pulls. Save your Dark Gray beacon for that conversion phase. Pairing with Radiant Hunter means stocking up Radiance curses before you start building boons; pairing with Equilibrium speeds up pull generation further at the cost of a shorter run.
Mission requiredBuilds your whole run around Gambling Beast as your 2nd trial. Aquastack as many Green beacons as possible before and after activating it (non-aquastacked Gray beacons can speed up getting there), aim to complete at least 3 missions before challenge 20, and set up enough Orange beacons. Take Ultimate Sacrifice or Hubris as your first trial for their 10-challenge buffer before Gambling Beast kicks in.
Setup missionsGrants an enormous number of End Reward Rerolls and can be paired with normal pull farming on top. Unlike Gambling Beast, this voids all your sacrifices, so only go for it if you're not banking sacrifices this run. Works in a full 100-challenge run with a good pull setup, or a shorter one if you already have 200+ sacrificed pulls. To get the most from Dying Light, only retake base Rainbow beacons once your previous one has actually run out.
/use - ideally shortly before the run ends, once you know the
run is actually good (starting with one active is not recommended). They come in packs of 6 (4 Shares), 15
(8 Shares), and 32 (16 Shares), and are cheap enough relative to average per-run profit that they're
genuinely worth buying, especially alongside pure pull-count strategies.
/kill can save time between challenges, get you unstuck, or fully restore your HP - but it
costs 1 minute off your timer, so be careful on Red Beacons. Never use it with an Aqua boost active - dying
in any way between challenges silently voids the boost, with no warning from the game. Never use it while
Hubris is active either, since that ends your run immediately.
Each camp has its own lootpool that rotates weekly, every Friday at 19:00 GMT (a run in progress when the pool changes finishes in the new pool). Every pool mixes Unique-to-Fabled gear (some pieces are exclusive to specific camps), lootrun tomes, LE/EB batches, runes, broken dungeon keys, wards, mythics, and one Shiny Mythic - Shiny Mythics, Insulators, and Simulators are exclusive to lootrunning.
No official mythic rate has ever been published, but the pool runs on a weight system: your odds of pulling a mythic scale with how many mythics are in that camp's pool. A bigger mythic pool means better overall mythic/pull odds but worse odds for any one specific mythic; a smaller pool is the opposite. Community estimates put the overall mythic chance around 1/4000 to 1/6000 pulls depending on pool size, Insulators/ Simulators/Wards closer to 1/2000, and Shiny Mythics far rarer still, around 1/100,000 - in the current system, Wards are simply the more reliably profitable target than chasing a specific mythic.
Each reroll lets you pull again for the same pull cost. n sacrifices instead bank (1 - 1/(sacrifices+1)) of the current run's pulls for your next run (50%, 66.7%, 75%, 80%...) - sacrificed pulls carry over completely unaffected by future runs, and still count toward reroll costs. In the current meta rerolls are considerably stronger than sacrifices, since a good run can generate huge raw pull counts and Tokens already grant rerolls directly - that said, banking at least 2 sacrifices is close to free value even in a reroll-focused run.
"Yellow runs" (built around Jester's Scheme-style flying-chest farming) are the best way to hunt boxed mythics - keep a Wynntils favorites list for valuable non-mythic boxed items too, and use your pets' Stash feature to offload boxes to your bank when your inventory fills up. Since Fruma, both Fruma Foray camps are the best target for this. Discoverer (200% loot bonus), a crafted Loot Bonus/Loot Quality offhand (61%/13%), and LB/LQ boons all matter a lot here.
Shiny hunting is the lootrunner's ultimate test of patience - going 50+ hours without a single shiny pull is completely normal, so it's only worth it if you're heavily invested; chasing wards/augments instead usually pays off better per hour. If you do go for it, build up as many sacrificed pulls as possible (Redemption is the easiest source, then Ultimate Sacrifice, Dying Light, and Hubris), push runs to challenge 100 whenever you can, and adopt the only reasonable philosophy: never tell me the odds.
Ordered easiest to hardest.
By far the easiest camp - short caves, weak enemies, simple challenges, and a small playable area. Challenge altitude varies a lot; the clouds scattered around the area help ground-based classes like Warrior get up quickly, while Mage can just fly there.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
The smallest playable area of any camp - every challenge is easy to reach even with average movement. Higher-altitude challenges can be reached via thermal vents on the ground nearby.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
Demands fast, consistent aerial movement, though the challenges themselves are fairly tame - and falling into the void no longer ends your run. Clouds scattered around the lower islands launch you back up and cover good horizontal distance.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
The biggest playable area, with some of the most annoying challenges in the game - long, convoluted caves and a few challenges that can wreck you fast. Watch for a random event where drones ambush you mid-flight; they're tanky and hit hard. A network of teleport pipes at the camp itself gives fast travel to various spots on the island. When flying over Corkus City, stay away from the hot air balloon - it's a fast-travel warp to Kandon-Beda that will end your run for leaving the playable area (you can get back, but it's tight).
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
The first big jump in mob scaling, now matching Fruma's difficulty. The latest mob update gave enemies much higher HP and damage, so some can hit ridiculously hard just a few challenges in. Many challenges are cheesable at range, but a few are cramped and crowded enough to be genuinely dangerous on high curses or low boons.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
Unlike its East counterpart, this camp throws big swarms at you instead of a few strong enemies - inside extremely tight caves, which makes it more annoying than genuinely tough. When in doubt, fly - most challenges have enough vertical room to stay above enemies, though not every archetype can do damage reliably from the air. Approaching the Weapons Factory cave from the front gets you sniped by a security system for huge damage - fly in fast from another side instead.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
Currently the toughest camp by far - several caves packed with long puzzles and miniboss encounters with millions of base HP. Keep a close eye on your timer here, learn each cave's puzzle layout, and consider prioritizing walk speed since movement spells are awkward to use effectively inside some of the buildings.
Watch out for these, especially on high curses:
Cave walkthroughs for this camp's trickiest routes:
A viable lootrun build needs high walk speed to cross challenges and dodge enemies, long-range movement through spell-spam, fast wide-area damage, and solid Effective HP. That naturally sorts the classes into tiers:
Run speed ranking: Mage > Warrior > Assassin = Shaman > Archer. These are simply recommendations, not the only builds that work - Sugo's Mythic Thread is another good source if you want to cross-check.
A great staple lootrunning class - easy to use, with strong movement, huge AoE, and good bulk.
Same Generalist triplet cycle as Idol Surf below - see that entry for the full breakdown.
DetailsScream, Scream, Upper - repeat.
DetailsGeneralist cycles run in triplets, where one spell in each group gets massively buffed (if a non-Charge spell only costs 1 mana, that's the buffed one). Cast 3 different spells first to trigger Generalist, then run the main loop: Bash, Upper, Charge, then twice through Upper, Charge, Scream. Every ~10 seconds, throw in a Scream, Upper, Charge for a damage/resistance buff. If you mess up the rotation, the flush is Upper, Charge, Charge, Charge, Scream, Bash. If that's too much to track, just the Upper-Charge-Scream triplet alone still does the most damage on its own.
DetailsScream repeatedly to group mobs together, then Uppercut whenever you've built enough holy power - repeat.
DetailsScream, Scream, Upper - repeat.
DetailsNeeds more active play and pricier gear, but has the highest efficiency ceiling of any class thanks to Warp.
Spam Meteor until Mana Bank hits 100, then loop 4x Meteor into Heal (to refill Mana Bank) into Snake. Whenever Judrajim is up, Shift+Heal at 140+ Mana Bank to deploy it.
OffhandsSame cycle as Warp Riftwalker below.
OffhandsSame cycle as Warp Riftwalker below.
OffhandsRiftwalker is a DoT playstyle that means tracking several active effects at once. Do some research before jumping in - it takes real fine-tuning to get right. Engage by Teleporting through the enemy and immediately casting Ice Snake to summon your Dimensional Tear (cheaper spells) and Time Vortex (main DoT) - recast Ice Snake roughly every 8 seconds at minimum. With Tear and Vortex both up, slowly cycle Teleport into Meteor, doing more Teleports between Meteors as Distortion builds. Weave in your melee whenever it's up - it builds Distortion every 4 seconds and charges powders. Shift+Heal to enter Riftbound every 20 seconds, which freezes Distortion decay for 6-8 seconds. Before using your Ultimate, resummon Vortex and enter Riftbound first, then cycle Meteor into 7x Teleport during it - it fires very fast.
DetailsSpam Meteor until Mana Bank hits 100, then loop 4x Meteor into Heal (to refill Mana Bank) into Snake. Whenever Judrajim is up, Shift+Heal at 140+ Mana Bank to deploy it.
DetailsExcellent area coverage, damage, and sustain - a remote totem lets you play safely from range. Movement takes some getting used to, but can reach very high speeds once mastered.
