Absolum progression
Three resources outlive a run. Crystals buy Soul Tree nodes. Primordial Seeds go to Ederig for Arcana and Inspirations. Imbued Fruits go to Vikhana for Ritual upgrades. Gold is spent inside the run at Kahlo, Gonga-Lotan and Namtar.
Where each resource goes
The wiki splits the meta economy that way, and Steam threads repeat it. Radiance raises a Radiance level that pays resources at the end of a run. The Soul Tree also covers extra healing and life, rerolls, Museum preorders, elite mounts, emotes, skins, and Ordeal rewards. After version 1.1 the tree includes a fuller stats page.
The Museum is the second hub room, behind the barrels, and it sells trinkets you have already found, paid in crystals. Neverending Roots wants every Ritual. Node costs are not published as a complete price list, so I do not print a crystal total.
| Resource | Spent with | Buys |
|---|---|---|
| Crystals | Soul Tree and Museum | Permanent nodes, preorders |
| Primordial Seeds | Ederig | Arcana and Inspirations |
| Imbued Fruits | Vikhana | Ritual upgrades |
| Gold | Kahlo, Gonga-Lotan, Namtar | Trinkets, Rituals, Stars |
