Clockworks Tier Runs
Tier 1 gate runs for tier materials
Farm early Clockworks materials and crowns while learning low-tier enemy patterns.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Tier 1 gate runs for tier materials
Arcade gate routes that cover Tier 1 depths, from depth 0 to before Moorcroft Manor.
Before you go
- Have Tier 1 Clockworks access.
- Use equipment around the recommended 0–1 star range.
- Bring supplies appropriate to the displayed route and your character’s needs.
Farming steps
- Open Arcade gate selection and inspect the route’s depth and tier information.
- Choose a gate that enters Tier 1 and matches the material category you want, if shown.
- Clear each level and search its treasure containers for materials, crowns, heat, and minerals.
- Collect only useful drops and keep track of the materials needed by your current recipe.
- At a tier terminal or subtown, restore health, buy supplies, and change equipment if needed.
- Continue through the Tier 1 route only while its loot and challenge remain useful.
- Return to Haven and compare your inventory with your crafting or progression target.
- Clockworks levels can provide several useful resource types, so check the contents rather than farming one assumed drop.
- Avoid bringing gear far above the tier recommendation; the gate guide notes effectiveness is reduced for over-tier equipment.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Tier 1 routes while you need early materials, crowns, heat, or minerals. The precise chest contents vary by level and run.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every gate has an identical material route can target the wrong level; inspect the depth preview before entry.
- Continuing past a terminal without replenishing can make later floors harder; use it as a recovery and equipment checkpoint.
- Expecting a specific rare material from every chest is not reliable; treat drops as variable and stop based on actual inventory.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have the materials for your current recipe or are ready for a higher tier. Leave or switch routes if the gate no longer contains the resource category you need.
