Hops in the hunt
A rare material used as an ingredient for Victory Wine, with routes through shops, the auction, and exploration.
- When the next camp or crafting step needs a common material and the route can collect it without a central detour.
- Choose the upgrade before entering.
- Use common-material routes for routine farming.
Farm toward a destination / route timing
Gather it during outer-map loops and extract once the planned amount is secured.
- Loot and Farming gives the run a clear material target before queueing.
- Do not turn a common material into a reason to cross a contested centre.
- Compare Hops with the alternatives before spending a rare material.
Keep, replace, or skip
Keep Hops when it makes the next route decision clearer. Replace it when another option solves the same problem with less risk, cost, or setup.
- Open the related class, build, or map before the next hunt.
- Test the choice on the route where it is meant to work.
- Save the working direction in the Build Planner or field library.
