King in the Mist

Strategy Summary

The creator of the strategy tested 100 runs An Audience With The King and found the strategy extremely profitable when optimized for speed.

The key optimization is to intentionally die during the maze phase instead of solving it normally. This dramatically reduces stress and cuts runs down to around 50–55 seconds on average, with some runs as fast as 35 seconds.

Results

• Total investment: 4000c (40c per invitation)
• Total runtime: 115 minutes
• Total profit: 9650c
• Estimated profit per hour: ~5035c/hour (~12 Divines/hour)

Important Drops

The strategy averaged roughly:

• 20% drop rate for The Light of Meaning
• 55% chance for any corpse
• 10% chance for Perfect Corpses

Most of the profit came from unidentified The Light of Meaning jewels, with 21 drops totaling 13,650c alone.

Other notable drops included:

• Pragmatism ×42
• The Untouched Soul ×36
• Hextoad Support ×6
• Hexpass Support ×10

Corpse Profitability

While many corpses dropped, only a few Perfect Corpses were worth meaningful currency. The creator notes that corpse profits were mostly negligible overall, with only around 200c coming from valuable perfect corpses.

Efficiency Tips

To maximize profit per hour:

• Skip low-value corpses and body armours
• Avoid inventory management during sessions
• Suicide quickly in the maze by stacking self-damage effects immediately

Recommended tools for faster deaths include:

• Doedre’s Elixir
• Coruscating Elixir
• Vessel of Vinktar
• Righteous Fire
• Frost Shield

The strategy is best suited for fast solo farming focused on maximizing invitation throughput rather than full loot clearing.
