Quick answer
Use Gloom for Shell maps and cheaper Tarforge smelting
Separate Gloom, Glimpses, and Gold sections state current Patch 1 changes and refuse unsupported per-hour rates. The Ova section states the current evidence gap, observed progression demand, and exact fields under verification. Resource uses include exact deltas plus explicit unknown-rate and cost fields. Collect applicable Glimpses refunds in Blackmarrow, consider Mammon when Gold is the real route goal, and read the live Gloom cost before a transaction.
Resource records
What each resource changes
Glimpses
Glimpses previously spent on Shell map locations were refunded in the Shell Keeper's alcove in Blackmarrow.
Player action: Check the alcove if the change applies to your save; do not follow an older map-cost guide.
Gold
Enemy Gold drops increased, and enemies in Mammon now drop double Gold.
Player action: Compare Mammon against your current route goal, but do not treat an unmeasured per-hour estimate as fact.
Ova
Player searches show clear demand, but a dependable location, use, and quantity table is not present in the launch record.
Player action: Use the in-game item text and avoid a completion claim until locations are collected.

- 1. Name the next Shell, weapon, or route goal.
