The Aberration Farm

Overview

The Aberration is the pinnacle boss of the Expedition and Runes of Aldur league, fought in the Verisium Crater. This strategy covers the normal version of the fight. Every kill drops one Starlit Ore or a Twisted Empyrean, and a few rarer drops — Olroth's Conviction and the Emergent jewels — carry most of the value.

Setup

• The Triskelion Reforged — one consumed per run to enter the Verisium Crater from the Ruins of Kingsmarch.
• Olroth, Origin of the Fall — must have been defeated once beforehand; this is a one-time requirement, not a per-run cost.
• Run time — about two and a half minutes end to end: roughly 1:30 for the kill and a minute of travel. This is an estimate for a good build clearing it cleanly, not a floor anyone hits.

The Encounter

• Web phase — at about half health the Aberration covers the arena in a large spider web.

How These Numbers Were Calculated

• The method — these figures are a synthetic 100-kill sample built from published drop rates, not recorded runs. A 5% drop is counted five times, the guaranteed ore pool is split by its rates across 100 kills, expenses are one run's cost times the same 100 runs, and the hourly figure spreads the net total over an assumed two and a half minutes per run.
• The rates are estimates — the drop rates come from version 0.5.0 data over 562 kills, and the wiki page is marked as a stub. Real results over a short run of kills will differ.
• Concentration — Olroth's Conviction, at a 5% drop chance, makes up a little over half of the modelled profit, and together with Emergent Possibility (2%) and Emergent Vigour (0.7%) it accounts for about nine-tenths. The guaranteed ores contribute little. A long stretch of kills without any of those three drops is normal and does not mean the strategy is broken.
