Potion Timing per Biome

  • GLITCHED / DREAMSPACE: Heavenly I/II for single-roll attempts; never waste on standard biomes
  • SINGULARITY: Fortune III for 10-min sessions after Biome Randomizer activation
  • STARFALL / HEAVEN: Fortune III + biome resonance buffs from Grail
  • Standard biomes: Lucky/Speed Potions freely during early progression

Return on Investment

For most players, the optimal path is: Luck Glove → Exo Gauntlet → Strange Controller → targeted Runes → Biome Randomizer (endgame only). Biome Randomizer requires 4× Strange Controllers plus numerous auras — only craft when hunting a specific Challenged+ exclusive.
