Awakening and gear upgrades
Gold for equipment enhancement
Build a Gold reserve for gear and other account upgrades without selling useful equipment.
Heavenhold citizen collection and Adventure > Rift > Gold Dungeon.
Collect citizen Gold when available and repeat Gold Dungeon runs as needed while you have Coffee. Collection availability and costs are governed by the in-game systems; the planned purchase is finite.
Stop once the planned upgrade is funded or another material is the blocker. Spend future Coffee on the resource that advances the next meaningful upgrade.
