Tower of Greed is designed as repeatable side content in Throne and Liberty where you clear short puzzle-and-combat stages to earn artifact-related materials and other rewards. The catch is that your progress is gated by Greed: you spend it to advance, and you also gain it (and expand capacity) through specific rewards. If you rush floors without managing capacity, you’ll often be forced into resets and repeats.

This guide breaks down the Tower’s Greed system, two clear progression strategies (fast unlock vs efficient rewards), practical floor tips, and a weekly checklist that keeps your character moving forward. Where it fits naturally, it also explains how to think about your progression budget, including Throne and Liberty Lucent as a time-saving option for upgrades and convenience.

How Tower of Greed Works (and Why Greed Capacity Is Everything)

You can enter Tower of Greed solo or with a party. Difficulty is usually less about raw DPS checks and more about executing mechanics quickly: carrying orbs, interacting with objects, and handling a few dangerous hits on higher tiers.

The core loop looks like this:

• Clear a stage.
• Select a reward from a post-stage reward screen.
• Spend Greed to move to the next stage (the cost rises at higher tiers).

The key detail: choosing rewards increases the Greed in your orb, and advancing also consumes Greed. On higher tiers, the per-floor cost is bigger (commonly 50 Greed in the top tiers), so if you don’t expand capacity early, you’ll hit a wall.

Jars of Greed and Imprinting (Capacity Growth)

Your main way to increase how far you can climb without stalling is collecting Jars of Greed and using them to imprint your orb, expanding its capacity. If you ignore jars early and pick other rewards, you can end up unable to afford later floors—forcing a reset cycle.

Purify: The Reset Lever You Must Plan Around

Purify is the system’s pressure valve. It clears/refreshes your Greed situation, but it comes with a major drawback: it resets your tower progress to a chosen starting point (typically the first floor of a selected tier you’ve already unlocked). That means Purify is powerful, but careless use creates extra repeats.

In a Lucent farming guide context, Tower of Greed usually isn’t the primary earner. Think of it more like optional progression filler: if you’re spending hours repeating floors, you’re often losing out on more consistent income sources elsewhere. That’s why efficiency matters here.

Two Progression Strategies: Fast Unlock vs Efficient Rewards

Most frustration in Tower of Greed comes from mixing these strategies accidentally. Pick one approach based on your goal for the week.

Strategy A: “Day-One Abyss Push” (Fast Unlock, Low Efficiency)

This approach is for players who want to reach the highest tier quickly (for completion, curiosity, or to unlock the top bracket) and don’t mind sacrificing rewards along the way.

How it works:

• From the very first reward screens, only claim Jars of Greed whenever available.
• Avoid spending Greed on low-impact rewards that don’t help you maintain capacity.
• Use imprinting as soon as it’s available to keep capacity scaling.
• After finishing the early tower tier, use Purify to refill your ability to climb into higher tiers.

Common mistake: claiming a tempting reward (like analysis materials) early can be the difference between having enough capacity to reach Abyss or getting stuck and forced to Purify earlier than planned.

Warning about floor skipping: some runs offer a “skip ahead” option that jumps multiple floors. If you take it right before a floor that would have offered a Jar of Greed, you can accidentally skip a capacity upgrade and sabotage your climb. Until you’re fully confident how the skip consumes Greed in your current patch, treat it as risky.

This is the recommended approach for most players because it reduces wasted time and prevents the painful feeling of replaying floors purely because you mismanaged Greed.

How it works:

• Clear a stage and claim rewards normally (prioritizing what you actually need).
• Imprint whenever you can to expand capacity.
• When your orb is full and you can’t imprint further, Purify.
• Wait for the next daily window and repeat, steadily progressing without having to “go back” for missed rewards.

The planning rule that prevents pain: only Purify when you’re positioned so that the reset puts you at the first floor of the highest tier you’ve already unlocked. If you Purify too early (before unlocking the next tier), you can reset yourself into repeating content you already cleared just to reopen the path forward.

Selective reward skipping (smart efficiency): if you see rewards you don’t value (for your current goals), skipping them can preserve Greed for progression. Examples often considered low priority are small fragment bundles or minor chests—especially if they cost you the Greed you need to unlock the next tier.

Solo vs Party: What Actually Changes?

You can run Tower of Greed solo or with matchmaking. In many cases, the rewards are not meaningfully multiplied by grouping; everyone receives the same tier rewards, and repeating a floor you’ve already completed typically provides little to no additional benefit.

When solo is better:

• You have a self-sustain setup and want consistent pacing.
• You want to avoid coordination delays on puzzles and orb-carry mechanics.

When party is better:

• Your build struggles to survive higher-tier unavoidable fights.
• You want faster clears on enemy-heavy rooms through shared AoE.

Build and Combat Tips That Make Abyss Floors Safer

Most Tower floors are straightforward, but the top tiers punish mistakes with sudden damage spikes. The best “tower build” is less about peak DPS and more about not dying while you’re busy carrying objects or interacting with mechanisms.

Prioritize Self-Sustain First

Self-healing and damage mitigation reduce resets dramatically in solo runs. Weapon setups and skill choices that provide steady healing, shields, or lifesteal-style sustain are ideal. If your kit includes a contract-style sustain effect, keep it active for the entire run rather than saving it for “boss rooms.”

This is also where your overall progression budget matters. If you’re short on upgrade materials, using Lucent for gear upgrades can be a practical way to stabilize survivability so you spend less time re-clearing failed floors.

Bring Multi-Target Damage for Mandatory Fights

Some stages force you to clear groups or handle adds while doing mechanics. Having at least one strong AoE option prevents you from getting body-blocked or chipped down while you’re trying to interact with objectives.

Respect “One-Shot” Mechanics

On higher tiers, certain enemies apply a visible marker (such as a seed-like indicator above your character). If you fail to block or respond correctly when it triggers, it can deal extreme damage. Treat these as priority mechanics:

• Save stamina/guard resources for the marked hit.
• Stop greedily channeling long animations if you see the indicator.
• If you’re learning, play slightly slower until you recognize the timing.

Good news: dying usually resets you only on the current floor, not the entire tower. It’s still a time loss—especially if you completed multiple stages in a row—so defensive play often wins in Abyss.

Tower of Greed repeats a handful of mechanic templates. Mastering them saves more time than squeezing extra DPS.

Barrier Stone Puzzles: Use the “Marked” Stone Trick

If you interact with barrier stones and choose incorrectly, don’t panic-run in the open while enemies converge. Look for the stone with a symbol floating above it; that visual marker identifies the correct interaction target in many variants of this puzzle.

Use Water to Break Line of Sight and “Wait Out” Danger

In some rooms, you can step into water to buy time while you’re in a vulnerable state (such as after a wrong interaction). This can reduce incoming pressure long enough to re-check which object is correct and reattempt safely.

Frigid Flower Relic: Freeze Water When You Need a Safe Path

On certain layouts, you may need to throw a freezing relic into water to create a safe crossing route. If the stage requires carrying an orb through water hazards, freezing the surface can turn an awkward route into a simple delivery.

Orb Carry Rooms: Don’t Fight What You Don’t Have To

Some of the easiest clears come from recognizing when kills are optional. If the stage objective is “deliver orb to milestone,” you can often:

• Grapple to the orb quickly.
• Avoid purple hazard zones.
• Deliver, interact, then disengage.

Once you’re outside the objective circle, enemies frequently stop being relevant. Minimizing combat is one of the biggest time savers in long tower sessions.

Is Tower of Greed Worth It? Setting Expectations for Rewards

Tower of Greed can feel underwhelming if you expect major power spikes. For many players, the most important reality check is this: artifact stat chasing here is often a small improvement compared to other progression activities.

In practical terms:

• Simply having artifacts at the right rarity tier can provide most of the combat power benefit.
• Upgrading or perfecting artifact sub-stats can be a minor gain and is not guaranteed.
• The tower’s repetition can be a poor time-to-value trade if you still need core gear, runes, or dungeon progression.

If your goal is overall character growth and Throne and Liberty money making, consider Tower of Greed a “when you have spare time” activity rather than a mandatory weekly pillar.

The Lucky Mystic Portal event is a limited-time loop that can be very efficient because it compresses rewards into short bursts.

Basic routine:

• Claim event keys when available.
• Pick up additional keys from the contract coin merchant if you have spare currency.
• Explore and watch for mystic globe indicators on your map.
• Interact to spawn a portal, then find it quickly.
• Inside, you have limited time to loot as many treasure chests as possible.

Event rewards can include rare collectibles like exclusive morphs or Amatoi. This is also a good place to think about Lucent for cosmetics if you’re planning a look or collection goal—events can supply pieces that pair well with cosmetic sets without forcing you into long grinds.

Amatoi House Update: Three Expeditions, Fatigue, and Boss Appearance Points

With the Amatoi House improvements, you can send out three expeditions at once, which makes it easier to keep passive income and materials flowing.

What to prioritize:

• Pick expeditions that feed the currencies you actually spend (commonly contract coins early on).
• If you’re still leveling the system, use the best available zones you’ve unlocked rather than waiting for perfect routes.
• Collect rewards regularly; expeditions are only valuable if you keep them running.

Boss appearance points: successful expeditions contribute points that eventually unlock an Amatoi boss encounter. Clearing it with multiple Amatoi can reward extra pouches, making expedition consistency more important than min-maxing a single run.

Fatigue note: Amatoi can’t always be sent to the same terrain immediately after returning. Plan a rotation so you’re not stuck waiting on a single favored expedition.

Weekly Checklist: High-Value Tasks to Do Before You Grind Tower

If you only have limited time, handle these first. They usually provide better overall returns than marathon Tower sessions and help stabilize your progression pace.

• Contract scrolls: collect them from the sundries merchant.
• Contract coin priorities: spend on key upgrade materials like extract stones and ink.
• Guild merchant: pick up conversion stones (and consider finding a more active guild if yours can’t sustain weekly support).
• Field bosses and arch bosses: attend when possible; participation medals can buy valuable items like unlock stones.
• Nebula activities: pick up nebula stones and exchange for pouches/unlock-related materials where relevant.
• Battlegrounds: earn combat coins and convert into runes that match your build plan.
• Dungeons: use random normal/epic queues, and consider trials for accumulated point rewards.
• Gate of Infinity: clear for achievement-based rewards.
• Hall of Illusion: complete your weekly entries (commonly three runs).

When you’re trying to keep momentum, it helps to treat Lucent as part of a “progression budget” rather than an impulse spend. Some players choose safe Lucent options to smooth gaps in upgrade materials, especially when weekly tasks don’t drop what they need.

FAQ

Should I rush to Abyss in Tower of Greed as soon as it unlocks?

Only if your goal is unlocking the highest tier quickly. For most players, the efficient route is clearing steadily, imprinting often, and Purifying only when your orb is full to avoid repeating floors.

What rewards should I prioritize on early floors?

Prioritize Jars of Greed when you need capacity to keep climbing. If you’re not rushing, claim the rewards you’ll actually use, but avoid spending Greed on low-impact items if it blocks tier unlocks.

Usually it’s lower priority. The tower can be useful for artifact materials, but dungeons, bosses, and weekly currencies often provide more consistent power gains.

What’s the safest way to avoid wasting Purify?

Purify only after you’ve unlocked the next tower tier you want to progress, and do it at a point where the reset places you at the first floor of a tier you’ve already reached.

Can Lucent help with Tower of Greed progression?

Indirectly. If you use Lucent for enchantments or other upgrades to stabilize survivability, you’ll wipe less and spend less time re-clearing floors—especially on Abyss where mistakes can hit hard.
