Winter Adena Farm Pipeline (Live 2026)
Prepare alts before busy seasons: bank Virtual Equipment System points daily, run mentee batches for spheres and event coins, then rotate 108-ready twins through Jamoa and Pantheon for scrolls, extension stones and Adena.
At a glance
- 1Create low-level accounts early and claim daily Virtual Equipment System points even without leveling
- 2Event windows can grant 30 starting Virtual Equipment System points per character
- 3One mentee per account through event zones can yield bonus rune stones or sellable coins
- 4Five days of banking plus light leveling reaches ~108 for session tests
- 5Jamoa extension stones are cheap; Pantheon stones are for sale not self-use on weak alts
- 6Six mentees reference ~1.5B CRP layer + ~2.5B spheres + ~1.5B event coins before synth
- 7Warg alts clear Virtual Equipment System and level quickly for session tests
- 8Spreadsheet track: account · last VES claim · level · Jamoa vs Pantheon role
Conservation pipeline overview
Winter-style prep means building inventory before the next major patch: account slots with characters created, daily Virtual Equipment System points claimed, mentee graduations batched, and 108 farmers rotated through Jamoa and Pantheon when extension items are cheap.
- Daily click
- ~2–4 minutes per alt for Virtual Equipment System points
- Bank target
- 4–5 days of points before first Jamoa block
- Level checkpoint
- 108 for comfortable session packs
- Class note
- Warg alts clear Virtual Equipment System and level quickly
- Income layers
- Spheres + event coins + session drops + Benir synth
Virtual Equipment System banking
During bonus events, new characters can receive starter Virtual Equipment System points and sometimes 110 Virtual Equipment gear for fast leveling. Log each account once per day, claim points, optionally run one mentee push — repeat across many accounts.
Daily VES banking loop
| Step | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Login alt | 30s | Even level 1 if event allows point claim |
| Open VES UI | 30s | Claim daily points |
| Optional mentee tick | 2–3 min | One quest progress if event tied |
| Logout | — | Log in spreadsheet |
| Repeat | ×N accounts | Scales linearly |
Mentee and event coin layer
Fast mentee: quests to 40, R-grade, Altar of Evil to ~91, mentor party with ≤14 level gap to 105 (~1h40 reference with prepared mentor). Graduate three for a sphere; sell event coins from clan missions and seasonal zones while demand is high.
Reference six-mentee batch (market varies)
| Line | Reference |
|---|---|
| CRP sale layer | ~1.5B equivalent |
| Two spheres | ~2.5B |
| Event coins | ~1.5B |
| Benir synth to +12 | ~2B per success path |
Reaching 108 on banked alts
Five days of VES point banking plus light leveling during events typically reaches ~108 — enough to test Jamoa/Pantheon damage. Use event 110 gear if offered; otherwise accumulated Virtual Equipment System pieces from points.
- 107 test
- Run 10-min DPS sample before buying Pantheon extensions
- 108 target
- Stable pack clear on spread mobs
- Warg default
- Fastest alt for session DPS tests
- 108–110
- Instance trains if extending past session farm
Jamoa and Pantheon twins
Before
After
Rotate twins: while one runs Jamoa, another claims Virtual Equipment System points. At 108 with banked gear, Warg-style alts handle spread packs better than untested classes. Pantheon Adena rate was nerfed historically — sample net Adena after consumables.
Event prep checklist
Before a major event ends
| Task | Why |
|---|---|
| Create unused account shells | Preserve daily point claims |
| Finish in-progress mentees | Coins and spheres before reset |
| List session extension drops | Pantheon stones peak when farmers arrive |
| Pre-buy Jamoa extensions | Cheap 3h blocks for material spikes |
| Stage 108 farmers | Ready for post-patch economy |
| Benir synth materials | Buy low during event overflow |
Alt rotation schedule
Weekly alt rotation (example)
| Day | Alt A | Alt B | Alt C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | VES claim + Jamoa | VES claim | Mentee push |
| Tue | VES claim | Pantheon 1h | VES claim |
| Wed | Craft/synth | Jamoa | VES claim |
| Thu–Sun | Repeat · list tradables | Main plays sessions | Fish/synth idle |
Pipeline goal: enter busy season with spheres sold, event coins converted, and 108 alts ready — not scrambling to level when extension prices spike.
Pair with horizontal toolkit
Combine VES banking with mentee spheres, Bloody Soul synthesis, and fishing alts from the horizontal Adena guide. Winter pipeline is the seasonal intensification of the same account-wide strategy.
Benir synthesis path
Benir synthesis to +12 reference ~2B per success path during event overflow — buy materials low when seasonal zones flood the market. Same manual synthesis rules as Bloody Soul: never auto-synth, build +1/+2/+3 pools before pushing higher tiers.
Six-mentee batch reference
| Line | Reference value |
|---|---|
| CRP sale layer | ~1.5B equivalent |
| Two spheres | ~2.5B |
| Event coins | ~1.5B |
| Benir +12 success | ~2B per path |
Fast mentee routing
Fast mentee: quests to 40, R-grade, Altar of Evil to ~91, mentor party with ≤14 level gap to 105 (~1h40 reference with prepared mentor). Warg mentees are common fast path for Virtual Equipment System clears and session DPS tests.
- Level gap
- ≤14 in mentor party
- Graduate ×3
- One Dark/Chaos sphere tradable
- Event tie-in
- Starter VES points on new characters during bonuses
- 108 target
- Five days VES banking + light leveling
Extension stone economics
Jamoa vs Pantheon alt math
| Zone | Extension cost | Alt rule |
|---|---|---|
| Jamoa's Camp | ~30M per stone | Buy 3h when kill speed holds |
| Pantheon's Museum | ~170M per stone | Weak alts sell dropped stones (~100–150M) |
| 108 Warg alt | Spread pack clear | Test 10-min DPS before buying Pantheon ext |
| Main tier DPS | Pantheon 1h base often enough | Sample net after consumables |
Pantheon Adena rate was nerfed historically — weak alts should sell entry stones rather than buy 170M extensions unless DPS matches main-tier benchmarks.
