Setup

Searches per game = min(elemental, catalytic) = 4. Wiki strategies: masses ~8 combined, solo colossal ~10.

Raiments of the Eye do not increase Runecraft XP — they add extra runes when you craft. End-of-game bonus is RC level × 45 if you earned 300+ energy. Abyssal lantern log type changes points/runes, not a flat XP %.

How GotR rewards work

Close the rift with enough energy to earn points, then search the Rewards Guardian outside. Each search rolls the main rune/pearl table plus a separate rare table (needle, lantern, dyes, pet). Raiments of the Eye do not increase XP — they add extra runes when crafting. Pearls buy the outfit from Temple Supplies (1,350 for the full set; wiki average ~2.14 pearls per search with all pouches).

FAQ

How do GotR reward points work?
You earn elemental and catalytic energy. Every 100 of each type becomes a point (with a chance to round up). Searching the Rewards Guardian costs one of each. Balance both or leftover points sit unused. Wiki masses are about 8 combined points; efficient colossal play about 10.
Do Raiments of the Eye increase XP?
No. The outfit adds extra runes when you craft (up to 60% with the full set). It does not increase Runecraft experience. End-of-game XP is your RC level × 45 if you gained at least 300 energy.
What is the Abyssal protector rate?
The pet is 1/4,000 per Rewards Guardian search, including searches paid with 25 pearls. Needle is 1/300 (once), lantern 1/700, catalytic talisman 1/200, any dye 1/400.
Does this include runes crafted in-game?
No. GP is Rewards Guardian loot only (runes, live talisman table, ashes). Intricate pouch contents are too RNG to price. Pearls are untradeable — the calculator tracks them toward the 1,350 Raiments set.
