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

  1. 1Create low-level accounts early and claim daily Virtual Equipment System points even without leveling
  2. 2Event windows can grant 30 starting Virtual Equipment System points per character
  3. 3One mentee per account through event zones can yield bonus rune stones or sellable coins
  4. 4Five days of banking plus light leveling reaches ~108 for session tests
  5. 5Jamoa extension stones are cheap; Pantheon stones are for sale not self-use on weak alts
  6. 6Six mentees reference ~1.5B CRP layer + ~2.5B spheres + ~1.5B event coins before synth
  7. 7Warg alts clear Virtual Equipment System and level quickly for session tests
  8. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pantheon Adena rate was nerfed historically — weak alts should sell entry stones rather than buy 170M extensions unless DPS matches main-tier benchmarks.

FAQ

Why bank Virtual Equipment System on alts you do not play?+

Daily points cost minutes per account. When an event ends, stored progress becomes session-ready farmers without rushing quests later.

Minimum level for Jamoa or Pantheon on an alt?+

Reference route: ~108 with several days of Virtual Equipment System gear (or event gear) for stable damage. Test at 107 with measured DPS before buying extensions.

Which session for Adena vs materials?+

Pantheon for raw Adena and tradable Pantheon entry stones (~100–150M reference). Jamoa for accessory scrolls and crystals when those markets are hot.

How does this differ from mentee-only farming?+

Mentees convert to spheres and CRP. Banked alts add daily session income after graduation cycles finish.

Extension stone economics?+

Jamoa ~30M per extension — buy for 3h farm when kill speed holds. Pantheon ~170M — sell dropped stones; 1h base often enough on alts.

Event ending prep?+

Create shell accounts, finish in-progress mentees, list Pantheon stones before farmer influx, pre-buy cheap Jamoa extensions.
