Common mistakes

Practical notes

Omens are consumable buffs for a map, such as extra rarity or protection, so use them when the run is worth the cost. Save powerful omens for high-value farms rather than casual maps.

Read what each omen does, because some change drops and others alter risk. Pair an omen with a juiced map to multiply returns. A well-timed omen turns a good run into a great one.

Save powerful omens for high-value farms, and pair one with a juiced map to multiply returns instead of wasting it on a casual run.
