Which Skills and Gear Make Hunt Compass Rush Faster in Torchlight: Infinite SS14?
Hunt Compass Rush is a relatively accessible yet efficient farming strategy in Torchlight: Infinite SS14. It involves repeatedly running maps with a low cost per run and accumulating wealth through completion rewards and rare drops.
Rather than challenging an exceptionally difficult boss or relying on every map to drop top-tier gear, this strategy focuses on increasing the number of maps completed per hour. Small gains add up over time, resulting in an estimated return of around 2,000 FE per hour.

Void Chart and Talent Setup
This strategy uses a Void Chart. The core idea is to trigger bosses through hunting and fast map clears, then collect the chests that spawn. These chests have a chance to drop Compasses. Under Profound, Gold Ecliptic Compasses can drop, and each currently sells for around 50 FE, making them particularly valuable.
For talents, the strategy uses Compass Tree, which provides opportunities to upgrade Compasses. In SS14, the preferred setup takes Deep Space Resonance, although some variations use Regular Resonance instead.
If Deep Space Resonance is worth around 30 times as much as Regular Resonance, go with Deep Space Resonance. Otherwise, use Regular Resonance.
You should also allocate points to nodes related to Embers, Resonance, and Winding Keys, while investing 8 points in Snow Paper.
The remaining points can follow a fairly standard Atlas setup in Profound talent tree. You can also take nodes that have a chance to grant Module Skills. Any rewards from these nodes count as extra income, and the opportunity cost is relatively low.
Another optional choice is Void Variables, a special event mechanic that can randomly trigger in Void Realm maps. It makes encounters slightly more difficult, so leave it out if you find the farming process too challenging.

How to Farm Maps?
In Netherrealm Card System, Compass-related cards are the preferred choice. You can also use cards such as Rainbows and Ember Chests.
You can apply Netherrealm Resonance three or four times per map to add affixes. Going beyond that makes little difference. This strategy does not specifically stack quantity, but it still uses cards, so monsters continue to drop loot and item quantity remains somewhat useful.
Movement speed is crucial during farming. You can equip Blade-dancer's Steps to repeatedly reset Speed Phantom's cooldown, significantly improving your movement speed.
Along the way, kill large groups of monsters and rare enemies, paying particular attention to Ember Goblins spawned by Probes. These goblins drop one to three Alt Embers, which currently have a high value and make up an important part of the strategy's overall returns.
Before entering the final boss area, make sure you have completed the hunt. After defeating the boss, collect any remaining chests in the area and immediately move on to the next map. You only need to kill around 70% of the monsters in each map, so there is no need to clear everything.
Speed matters more than a full clear. Monster packs spawned by Void Variables and Blessed Monsters are generally worth killing along the way. However, hunting remains the main source of income, so you can afford to push aggressively toward the boss.
The cost per map is approximately 4–5 FE. It may be even lower if you use less Netherrealm Resonance or fewer pets.
How to Increase Movement Speed?
You can equip Blade-dancer's Steps, which resets the cooldown of movement skills. Try to obtain the Last Line Corrupted modifier if possible.
The technique revolves around using Spiral Strike to move around. With the help of certain nodes, using a movement skill grants one stack of Agility Blessing. You can obtain this node from Bladeunner Tree or through a Corner or Slate.
Each use of Spiral Strike grants one stack of Agility Blessing, which you can then consume to refresh Speed Phantom's cooldown. This allows you to reset Speed Phantom's cooldown almost indefinitely and move rapidly through maps.
It is highly recommended to get the last line corrupted modifier on Blade-dancer's Steps. Although the build still works without it, your movement speed will be noticeably lower. This setup is what allows you to reach the movement speed needed for the strategy to perform at its best.
With Blade-dancer's Steps, you can clear maps faster and farm more efficiently. If you need additional resources to support your progression, you can also check out Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium for sale.
Earnings
Most of the strategy's income comes from Flame Elementiums. Ultimate Embers also provide substantial returns. They come from Ember Probes used in this setup and are well worth investing in.
Deep Space Resonance also contributes to your earnings. Depending on market values, you may need to switch between Deep Space Resonance and Netherrealm Resonance. You will also obtain a small number of Divination Cards.
The largest source of income is the endgame hunting chests. Their rewards depend on whether you complete the map, and item quantity does not increase the number of drops from these chests. Therefore, completing more maps means opening more hunting chests and getting more opportunities to obtain valuable Astrolabes.
You should aim to complete each map as quickly as possible, with a target of under one minute per map. Ideally, use the movement speed technique with Blade-dancer's Steps. If you do not equip them, maximize your mobility in other ways. Speed is the foundation of this strategy. The faster you clear maps, the more runs you can complete per hour and the higher your overall returns will be.
AION 2 Trick or Treat Event: Pumpkin Coins, Missions and Shop Guide
AION 2's Trick or Treat Halloween event gives players a limited-time opportunity to collect Pumpkin Coins and exchange them for useful items. With the event approaching its end, it is worth checking your attendance progress, finishing any remaining weekly missions, and deciding which rewards are most useful for your character.
The event is scheduled to end before maintenance on November 3, 2026, for North American servers and November 4 for European servers. Players can earn coins through a 14-day attendance track and weekly event missions, then spend them at designated Pumpkin Coin Traders.
Halloween rewards are only one part of character progression. While event items can help with specific activities, players still need to manage their regular resources and equipment upgrades. Keeping track of your AION 2 Kina alongside limited-time rewards can help you plan your next upgrades without spending event currency on items you do not need. Pumpkin Coins and Kinah serve different purposes, so it is worth considering both when planning your character's progression.

The maximum of 1,325 coins assumes that a player collects the full attendance reward track and completes all three available weekly mission sets. It is a potential maximum, not a guaranteed amount. Your actual total depends on your attendance progress, completed objectives, and rewards already claimed.
For the official schedule and attendance details, refer to the Trick or Treat event announcement on PURPLE Lounge. Check the in-game event menus for your character's current progress.
How to Earn Pumpkin Coins From Attendance
Attendance is one of the most straightforward ways to earn Halloween Pumpkin Coins. The 14-day reward track provides 35 coins on most days, while days 7 and 14 each offer 100 coins.

Do not assume that unclaimed rewards have already been added to your balance. If you have missed attendance days, check the track directly to see what remains available rather than assuming the game will automatically compensate for every missed day.

Some objectives can be completed during normal play, while others require access to specific activities. Check your mission list before spending time on a task you may already have finished.
The 235-coin total applies to one complete weekly set. Since the event spans three weekly mission resets, players who finish all available sets can earn up to 705 coins from missions alone.
Where to Find the Pumpkin Coin Trader
The Halloween event shop is available through designated traders in faction regions.
Elyos: Dawn Legion Base and Zumion Village in Verteron.
Asmodians: Safe Haven and Nornir Assembly in Altgard.
Visit the location that is most convenient for your character. Before purchasing anything, review the listed cost, level requirement, and limit. Some limits apply per server, while others apply per character, which can affect how you plan purchases across multiple characters.
Halloween Shop: Which Rewards Are Worth Considering?
The best purchase depends on your character's needs. Some players may want the event chest, while others may get more immediate value from dungeon tickets or progression-related items.

Special Halloween Chest
The Special Halloween Chest costs 250 Pumpkin Coins and is limited to one purchase per server. It is available to characters level 10 and above.
Third-party event guides list its contents as the Spooky Scary Skeleton breastplate appearance and 10,000 Pet Soul Crystals. If you want the Halloween-themed appearance or the included pet-growth resource, consider setting aside 250 coins before buying smaller items. Check the in-game description before purchasing to confirm the current contents.
Odyle Energy and Other Progression Items
Odyle Energy costs 10 Pumpkin Coins per purchase in the Halloween shop, with a listed limit of four per server per week for characters level 45 and above.
There is a separate Odyle Energy rule in the October patch notes for the Wind Breeze Merchants' Special shop during the server-transfer period. That change removes a server-wide weekly cap of 16 and raises the weekly per-character cap from four to 20. These are separate shop rules, so do not assume the change automatically replaces the Halloween Pumpkin Coin shop's own price and limit.
For players focused on character progression, compare event purchases with your immediate needs. Dungeon tickets may be useful if you plan to run those activities, while inexpensive consumables may offer little value if you will not use them. Kinah management remains a separate part of preparing for equipment upgrades and other regular progression costs.
Check Item Expiration Dates
Not every Halloween-related item follows the same expiration schedule. Published item information lists Halloween Candy, Halloween Cookie, Candy Key Fragments, and Red, Yellow, and Blue Candy Keys for deletion around the event's end. Several other items, including the Special Halloween Chest, bound Odyle Energy, Resurrection Spiritstones, and certain dungeon tickets, have been listed with a later deletion date.
These dates may differ by item, so check the description in your inventory rather than assuming everything disappears at once. Before maintenance, review your remaining Pumpkin Coins, claim available attendance and mission rewards, and use time-sensitive consumables where appropriate.
