Points System

Formula

Base Points = (ALCH × 1) + (Runes × 2)
Total Points = Base Points × Spell Multiplier

Examples

Holdings	Base Points	Multiplier	Total Points	vs Baseline
1M ALCH	1,000,000	1.0×	1,000,000	1.0×
500k ALCH + 500k Runes	1,500,000	1.0×	1,500,000	1.5×
1M Runes	2,000,000	1.0×	2,000,000	2.0×
1M Runes + All Buffs	2,000,000	2.85×	5,700,000	5.7×

Decision Tree

Want to Cast Spell?
  ├─ No Runes → Burn ALCH first
  ├─ No Book → Buy Book with SOL
  ├─ Buff Active → STOP (don't waste)
  └─ Ready → Calculate ROI
       └─ Worth it? → Cast
            ├─ Win (20-70%) → +Buff
            └─ Lose → Book consumed

Optimization Tips

For Everyone

• Burn early (bigger relative impact)

• Check buff timers (don't buy books if you have an active buff)

For Active Players

• Stack all 4 buffs for 2.85× max

• Set reminders for buff expiry

• Keep spare books for failures

• Reinvest $GOLD into more burns

ROI Calculation

Your Share = Your Points / Total Points
Your GOLD = Treasury × Your Share
Profitable if: Your GOLD > Book Cost

Common Mistakes

❌ Buying books when buff already active ❌ Not having enough runes for retries ❌ Selling $GOLD instead of compounding ❌ Forgetting to reactivate expired buffs

---

Real Example

Start: 1M ALCH Action: Burn all → 1M Runes Result: 2M points (2× baseline)

Next: Buy Master book, cast spell (success) Result: 2M × 1.5 = 3M points (3× baseline)

Each distribution: Get 3× more GOLD than baseline holder
