  • Inspect any curse, HP change or recurring cost before accepting.

Compare offers by what changes next

Runs begin with Neow; subsequent acts draw from their own Ancient pools. An offer can change your deck, relics or resources. An impressive reward can still be wrong if its cost prevents you from handling the next fights.

Kingy worksheet: for each offer, write one immediate benefit, one ongoing condition and one affected card. If you cannot identify a card or turn that benefits, keep comparing. A bonus to elite openings has less value on a route where you are avoiding elites.

On screen: The Neow screen at the start of a run with three offers listed, each with its effect: Arcane Scroll (obtain a random Rare card), Nutritious Oyster (raise Max HP by 11) and Leafy Poultice. A third-party stats overlay shows pick percentages beside each offer; those numbers are not game data.

Read the modified card after enchanting

Mega Crit explicitly disallows enchantment stacking. Do not plan on repeatedly adding the same enchantment to grow one card indefinitely. Some beta rewards also changed how cards are selected: v0.111.0 makes Beautiful Bracelet enchant four random cards rather than letting you choose.

That beta change affects the decision: a deck relying on one precise target cannot count on selecting it. The full enchantment catalogue needs its own branch-by-branch verification before this wiki can offer exact event routes.
