Introduction - Dungeon Loot & Gold Farming Guide
If you're playing Crystal of Atlan and wondering how much gold and loot you can earn by running full dungeon sessions, this guide is for you. This article breaks down a full run of Abyssal Purgatory and other dungeon types using only free hunting permits across all level 60 characters. We’ll also look at which dungeons are worth the energy, how to manage your loot efficiently, and what to expect in terms of raw gold earnings.
Whether you’re just hitting level 60 or optimizing your daily routine, this walkthrough provides a practical, tested path to maximize your in-game gains without spending real money or buying extra dungeon entries.
Starting the Day: Prepping for Dungeon Runs
Before jumping into the main dungeon farming loop, it’s important to set the routine early. The player began by logging in right after the daily server reset—when energy and entries refresh. This timing is key because prices in the in-game market tend to fluctuate throughout the day. Getting a head start helps in farming and selling items before demand drops.
Instead of immediately using the Abyss tickets, the first step was running Stage 2 Void Dungeons across all level 60 characters. These still provide valuable materials that continue to sell well in the market. Even though the primary goal was to test full Abyss farming, skipping Void would’ve meant missing out on easy, high-demand loot.
Using Green Energy on Abyssal Purgatory Runs
After finishing Void, the remaining 120 out of 140 green energy was dedicated entirely to Abyssal Purgatory. Running this dungeon while green energy is active significantly improves loot drops and guarantees progression gear. No external energy sources or paid tickets were used, making this a fully free-to-play approach.
What makes Abyssal Purgatory particularly effective is the consistent gear quality. By fully using available green energy across all characters, there’s a clear increase in both drop rate and value of obtained gear. It's one of the more reliable ways to gather materials and gold without needing additional investment.
Additional Activities: Free Runs Without Energy
Once green energy was fully consumed, the next focus was on dungeons that don’t require energy. Tempered Trials was the first stop. While it only gives bound gold, there’s a known workaround to convert bound into unbound gold. If you’re not familiar with this trick, it's worth reviewing guides or videos that cover the full method, as it helps increase total usable gold without relying on the trading post.
The Golden Fleece Challenge was skipped during this session. According to the player, this mode didn’t contribute much value, especially in terms of gold earnings. It might still be worth checking for daily quests or event rewards, but for pure farming efficiency, it wasn’t part of the final run in this test.
Loot Cleanup and Gear Management
After all dungeon runs, the next important step was organizing the loot. The cleanup process followed a simple rule: any gear that wasn't pink or yellow was dismantled immediately. Pink items were listed for sale unless the market was already saturated—then those were dismantled too. Only yellow gear that matched the main character’s class (Magic Blade) was kept for future use.
This cleanup strategy not only saves inventory space but also generates enhancing materials, which are essential for gear progression. All materials and leftover loot were then transferred to the account storage for easier tracking and selling across alternate characters.
Tracking Pure Gold Earnings from Dungeon Runs
With the gear sorted and materials stored, it was time to measure how much gold came directly from dungeon completions. To do this accurately, the player transferred all newly earned gold from the account storage to their main character. This made it clear that the displayed total only included gold from dungeon rewards—not from sales or conversions.
This method offers a reliable way to benchmark how much value a full day of farming can generate. For players running multiple characters daily, repeating this process can help gauge the efficiency of each dungeon type and decide whether it's worth repeating the full rotation or narrowing the focus.
Selling Loot and Adjusting Market Prices
Next, all marketable items were listed using alternate characters. This made tracking total earnings more manageable and separated sale income from dungeon gold. While the initial listing prices followed recent market averages, it became apparent that some items—like prayer parts—were dropping in price.
To ensure quicker sales before the next reset, prices were adjusted based on current competition. Checking the auction house frequently after listing can prevent items from sitting too long or being undercut. Smart price updates can make a big difference, especially when dealing with high-volume, mid-tier loot.
Final Sales and Gold Collection
After logging back in later, all listed items had successfully sold. The player claimed the gold from in-game mail and transferred the total to account storage to combine it with the dungeon gold from earlier. This final gold count represents the total earnings from one full round of dungeon runs, without using paid resources or extra energy items.
It's worth noting that bound gold remained untouched in this session. The conversion method for bound to unbound gold wasn't applied this time to maintain consistency in tracking. However, that process is still a valuable tool for players who want to maximize overall usable currency in Crystal of Atlan.
Summary: Was It Worth It?
The final result of this farming test was clear: using only free entries and green energy can still yield a solid amount of gold and materials. While the pink enhancing items were hard to sell, keeping them for future gear upgrades added long-term value. Paid hunting permits weren’t used at all, reinforcing the idea that players can still make meaningful progress without spending currency.
Looking ahead, the plan is to shift focus and try a single-character farming strategy. For players who prefer investing all energy into their main, this could be a more efficient option. Stay tuned for that experiment if you want to compare results and refine your own farming routine.
Conclusion
Farming dungeons in Crystal of Atlan using only free resources like green energy and daily hunting permits is not only viable but also profitable. Through a full round of Abyssal Purgatory, Void Dungeons, and non-energy trials, players can generate substantial amounts of gold and materials without spending premium currency.
The key takeaways? Always start early after reset, manage your gear wisely, and keep an eye on market trends. Even without buying extra entries, a carefully planned daily routine can bring consistent returns. And if you're managing multiple characters, optimizing each one’s energy usage amplifies your rewards further.
