Clear the highest Deed that remains controlled; a faster lower tier beats a dramatic failed push.
Use the Board for a named goal
The current launch report shows Deed Levels 1–10. Start a run because you need a boss material, Spellbook component, useful drop or a build test—not simply because another level is visible.
Find your efficient ceiling
Begin at a level you clear cleanly, spend the result on the build and only then test the next level. If the next tier burns most healing or turns one mistake into a death, the efficient ceiling is below that tier for now.
Raise power before raising the number
A failed push can mean a missing status answer, an incomplete set bonus, poor resource sustain or a party-size problem. Upgrade the build, change the loop or bring other players before repeatedly paying the same failure cost.
Before and after Forest King are different
Before Aelwynor, use a Deed only when it solves a concrete story-readiness problem. After the current linear story ends, Deeds become the main repeatable progression loop alongside side quests, pets, NPCs, Sanctum work and build completion.
What still needs measurement
Exact scaling multipliers, rank thresholds, reward tables and boss-specific drop rates are not confirmed here. Keep those fields blank until the current client or multiple consistent runs provide evidence.
