Fast Answers
Section titled “Fast Answers”| Question | Answer | Useful Page |
|---|---|---|
| How do I prestige? | Open the crown menu, hold the prestige button, spend PP, then start the next run. | Best Prestige Upgrades |
| Why are later buildings missing? | Several systems need a prestige unlock first. Manufactorum needs its prestige upgrade and The Great Forge before it can be bought from Khazad Greathold. | Unlock Order |
| Why is C.L.U.S.T.E.R.P.I.C.K. missing? | C.L.U.S.T.E.R.P.I.C.K. is a Tier 4 prestige unlock and also needs Cyberdwarf tier 2. | Unlock Order |
| What does mithril luck do? | It raises the damage-based mithril progress multiplier. It is not a flat percent chance per hit. | How to Get Mithril |
| Where do I check luck? | Open the relevant building and inspect that dwarf or weapon line's stat panel. Luck is tracked per line, so miner luck, runner luck, and mithril luck are not the same thing. | Dwarf and Weapon Stats |
| Are artifacts retroactive? | The Great Mother Figurine catches prior underground housing buys, but event-count artifacts such as Hermes Sandals build from future dodges. Read the artifact text when it depends on past events. | Best Artifacts |
| What are Endless Artifacts? | After all non-Tier 5 artifacts are collected, artifact sources can drop repeatable Endless Artifacts: +0.5% all dwarf damage, +0.5% ore gold value, or +1 PP. | Endless Artifacts |
| Does Ritual Power do anything after tier 1? | Ritual Power has 3 tiers. It unlocks rituals and strengthens specific rituals such as Boon of Chad, Boon of Shielding, and Call Earthquake; it does not automatically improve every enchant. | Rituals and Runes |
| What does Insatiable Guzzler do? | Insatiable Guzzler helps The Great Maw pull nearby ore into the mouth. Tier 3 starts pulling ore from the ground; tiers 4-6 push the radius and force much harder. | Ore and Gold Farming |
| Do boss walls count as dens? | Treat special mountain walls as part of the timed mountain check, not as normal dens. Den-targeting and den rewards should be planned around actual den spawns. | Bosses and Special Mountains |
| Why am I stuck at 7/8 spire artifacts? | The common missing piece is Philosopher's Stone from Alchemy. Forge Artifact, Treasure Hunters, and dens will not replace the Alchemy check. | Great World Spire Checklist |
| Which damage line should I use? | Flameworks is the most direct fire route. Ballistics is worth committing to when you can pair Harpoon Ballista with Lubed Crank, Monster Bane, Multi-shot, and Flaming Bolt. Artillery is better as late burst than as an early rush. | Fast Progression |
| Why are my three keys not enough? | Ruby Key, Sapphire Key, and Emerald Key only solve the Triple Seal Gate. You still need the actual vault reward, The Nauglamir, kept for the spire checklist. | Great World Spire Checklist |
Questions To Stop Worrying About
Section titled “Questions To Stop Worrying About”| Question | Short Answer |
|---|---|
| Should I buy every new building immediately? | No. Buy the building that opens the system your run is missing: damage, hauling, mithril, artifacts, rituals, or machines. |
| Is more damage always better? | No. If ore is being reclaimed, runner capacity, dodge, Maw suction, and Bulldozers can be better than another weapon branch. |
| Should I wait for one perfect artifact setup? | No. Use artifacts to solve the next wall, then prestige once the run stops earning progress efficiently. |
| Should I chase Flamelord's Wrath as the main plan? | Only if the fire line is already working: normal Flamers are keeping fields active, cooldown is funded, and max stacks are high. The safer plan is to build early Demodwarves or Miners, then later specialize into the damage line your prestige choices support. |
| Should I rush Duke Cannons? | Usually no. They are strong when Artillery Hall is already funded, but early mithril is often better spent on Alchemy, forging, mithril routes, or the damage line already carrying the run. |
