WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Tinka’s Domain endgame hub, through Captain Skellywag’s Plunder introduction and the Plunder activity entry; the DLC also offers Daily and Weekly runs.
Cosmic Curse adds Plunders, a route-planning endgame activity that differs from the Random, Dungeon, and Elite Dungeon Anomalies covered elsewhere in this guide. From Tinka’s Domain, Captain Skellywag’s cursed-crew introduction teaches the new activity. Each Plunder offers a randomized Cosmic Sea route that you chart around the rewards and challenge you want, with areas such as islands, manors, temples, and pirate coves. The activity is useful when you want its crafting materials or Cursed gear: Cursed items have stronger stats alongside negative effects, and the follow-up Blessing removes the Curse and unlocks a Blessing power. Daily and Weekly versions use the same layout for everyone and advertise increased rewards, so they are a separate option when you want to plan around a shared route. This guide requires Cosmic Curse DLC; base-game players should continue using the existing Anomaly routes instead.
Own Cosmic Curse DLC and reach Tinka’s Domain endgame progression.
Complete Captain Skellywag’s cursed-crew introduction so the Plunder activity is taught/unlocked.
Choose whether your current goal is crafting materials, Cursed equipment, or a Blessing unlock.
Travel to Tinka’s Domain and speak with Captain Skellywag to complete the introductory plundering quest.
Open the Plunder activity and review the route options and displayed reward/challenge focus.
Chart a path through the Cosmic Sea that matches your selected goal rather than choosing every branch indiscriminately.
Clear the selected areas, defeat their enemies, and collect the crafting materials and equipment encountered.
Use the Wet Dog stop when available and useful for resting the crew during the run.
Inspect Cursed equipment separately from ordinary loot: decide whether its increased stats and Curse fit your build before committing resources to Bless it.
Complete the Plunder, claim its rewards, and compare your stock to the crafting or Blessing goal.
If the shared Daily or Weekly layout better matches your target, launch that version on a later run and plan its community route.
Farming tips
Daily and Weekly runs are shared layouts with increased rewards; check the current activity display instead of assuming yesterday’s layout remains active.
Do not evaluate a Cursed item without its negative Curse; the Blessing step changes the item by removing that downside and unlocking its power.
Repeat, collect and use
Plunders are repeatable endgame activities, with randomized route choices and separate Daily and Weekly runs. Repeat the route variant that serves the target, then stop when the desired materials or Blessing setup are covered; exact quantities and reset times are not established here.
Common mistakes
Trying to launch Plunders without the Cosmic Curse DLC or before the Skellywag introduction; check both access gates first.
Treating a Cursed item as an unconditionally positive upgrade; inspect its Curse and complete the Blessing process if the item is a keeper.
Routing through every branch when only one reward type matters; select the path based on the activity’s displayed reward focus and your goal.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the Plunder rewards meet the planned crafting or Blessing need, or when the route’s challenge cost outweighs its benefit. Return for a future Daily/Weekly layout only if that activity still serves your build.
