Do not chase every hard route
Hard maps are only worth it when your account can benefit from their full rarity pool. If most drops are still unusable, farm intermediate routes first.
Lava Depths is best saved for serious Luck stacks or long sessions because Mythic odds remain narrow even with boosts.
Plan exit conditions
Set a roll budget before starting. If the target does not appear after the planned window, keep the resource loss controlled and return later.
Use value estimation to decide whether duplicates are worth keeping or converting into more attempts.
