A missed day is not lost: the quest comes back the next day.

Empowered Pearl farming#

At the end each run brings in more Empowered Pearls than it costs in Cursed Pearls.

The map depends on the group:

GroupMapAgentRepeatable quest
Solo or two playersDragan's Excavation SiteAgent 003"A Thundering Surprise"
Three or moreIron Forest at nightAgent 004"An Icy Addition"
  1. Go to the map's portal, in Castle Ravencaw.
  2. Take the agent's repeatable quest.
  3. Enter on Normal: 100 Cursed Pearl.
  4. Do the quest while clearing about 80% of the map: the map's Relic Chest opens. First chance of an Empowered Pearl.
  5. Leave and hand in the quest: a second chest, second chance.
  6. Repeat.

On average, the two chests give back more than 100 Cursed Pearls per run: the loop pays for itself.

💡 Remember. Speed matters more than damage: Normal is enough, there is no point raising the difficulty.

⚠️ Cursed Pearl ≠ Empowered Cursed Pearl. The first pays the entry to the dungeons, the second opens the Great Hall, the Refuge, the Battleground, Judgment Day and the statues.
