CHAPTER 01
Separate current balance from target
This official frame shows Cycle 17 with 980 coins, and a target of 1,500 at Cycle 23. The immediate gap is 520 coins. These are an example save’s displayed numbers, not a universal requirement for every run.
CHAPTER 02
Calculate the gap before shopping
Subtract the current balance from the displayed target. Then include a proposed purchase: if this example spends 65 coins, the balance becomes 915 and the target gap becomes 585. That arithmetic explains the cost of the choice; it does not predict future quest income.
| Example action | Balance | Gap to 1,500 |
|---|---|---|
| No purchase | 980 | 520 |
| Spend 65 | 915 | 585 |
CHAPTER 03
Compare a quest reward with its conditions
A Round Table quest can show a promised coin reward. Treat it as the reward for the stated outcome, rather than a deposit already in the Treasury. In the official Vampire of Clovermont frame, the promised reward is shown in the quest panel; returning results still determine what happens.
CHAPTER 04
Use your own current target
Look at the current target displayed in your run. A screenshot’s 1,500 goal or another player’s shopping order can refer to a different cycle. Delay an optional item when paying for it would make your approaching target harder to cover with the work you can actually assign.
