Kill-count projections will appear after an average loot value is available.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Tier 1 crystal helm, body and legs → Tier 2 crystal helm, body and legs

Craft the tier 2 armour set when timed preparation still leaves an unsafe Hunllef inventory.

Major upgrade
2

Attuned crystal bow and attuned crystal staff → Perfected crystal bow and perfected crystal staff

Perfected weapons shorten Hunllef while preserving the self-contained, no-bank-required format.

Moderate upgrade
3

Faster shard, frame and food route

Route efficiency is the final upgrade because it creates more preparation time without relying on outside gear.

Minor upgrade

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring timed preparation

Losing position during hunllef prayers

Mishandling dangerous floor: Move around changing floor tiles without losing the attack rhythm.
