2. 💰 Reward Value Calculation Method and Considerations
- ✅ Consider ability stone purchase cost (including Pheons)
- ✅ Value fluctuation depending on whether bracelet acquisition includes effective Crit/Spec/Swift options
- ✅ Consider effective options such as specialization triple lines, specialization agility, etc.
- ✅ Assume only pressing gold for Undol and Hondol
- ✅ Karma value decreases by about 15% due to no Kagebaek application

3. 📊 Reward Table Analysis Based on Floors 50-70: Priority and Efficiency Comparison
- 🥇 Ability Stone Crafting Materials (Overwhelming)
- 🥈 Special (Based on armor 22 enhancement, weapon 25 enhancement try)
- 🥉 Gem (Non-tradeable, purchase basis)
- ✅ Bracelet (When acquiring 1 effective Crit/Spec/Swift option)
- ✅ Free Hondol = Free Karma (Karma value decreases due to no Kagebaek application)
- ✅ Auxiliary honing materials
- ✅ Abyssal
- ❌ Unpa, Destruction Stone, Small Soul Stone, Breakthrough Stone (Worst choice)
- ✅ Gems and ability stones are considered only in special cases
- ✅ Special is the most efficient in general cases
- ✅ Abyssal and auxiliary materials are safe choices
- ✅ Bound Gold
- ✅ Sangje is meaningless above level 1730
05:27 - 07:49
4. 🔑 Expected Value by Key Grade and High Floor Reach Probability Analysis
- ✅ Key Grade: Legendary (7 times), Heroic (6 times), Rare (5 times)
- ✅ Average Floor Reached (Unweighted): Legendary 75.1 floors, Heroic 64.7 floors, Rare 53.9 floors
- ✅ High Floor Reach Probability: Legendary > Heroic > Rare
- ✅ Paradise rewards are not directly proportional to the number of floors, and the increase is large above 90 floors
- ✅ It is reasonable to weight the legendary key that goes to higher floors better
07:50 - 10:33
5. 🎫 Cube Ticket vs. Key Exchange Efficiency Comparison Analysis
- ✅ Cube Ticket Value: 4 Gold Runs > 3 Gold Runs > 2 Gold Runs
- ✅ Based on Abyssal, there is no significant difference between the value of cube tickets and the expected value of keys
- ✅ There is a slightly more advantageous section for cubes in 2 Gold Runs
- ✅ Key exchange is efficient in most sections
- ✅ 4 Gold Runs is efficient for Hell 3 Keys, 3 Gold Runs for Hell 2 Keys, 2 Gold Runs for Hell 1 + Heroic 3 Keys
- ✅ If you want dopamine, you can also consider choosing a legendary key
- ✅ 1 Gold Run is a Hell Key exchange
- ✅ Cube Lucky Room Unaccounted
10:34 - 13:31

- ✅ Based on level 1730, you can earn 110,000 gold just by participating
- ✅ Additional 21,000 gold earned upon grade increase
