Campaign Stage Resource Efficiency (Worlds 9-16) | Gold, EXP, Oil, Cognitive Chips & Augment Stones Reference - July 2026

Repost: Sorry for the repost. I found and corrected some inaccuracies from the previous version, so I decided it was worth updating the guide to ensure the information is as accurate as possible.

Hello everyone!

I created a Campaign Stage Resource Efficiency reference for Worlds 9-16 under Clearing Mode with Fleet Oil Cap fully enabled. This reference aims to provide a centralized comparison of campaign stages for players who want to optimize farming efficiency.

Included Data

Stage Resource Efficiency Table (Worlds 9–16)

The table includes:

  • Stage number
  • Mob level
  • Boss level
  • Boss armor type
  • Total battles required for a full map run (after unlocking clearing mode)
  • Oil Cap
  • Approximate stage Gold
  • Gold per Oil
  • Approximate Base EXP
  • EXP per Oil

Stage Efficiency & Performance Summary

A quick overview highlighting the best-performing stages for:

  • Gold efficiency
  • EXP efficiency
  • Oil usage
  • Endgame resource farming

Methodology & Notes

Includes:

  • Calculation formulas
  • Standardized assumptions
  • Data sources and limitations
  • Abbreviations used
  • Explanation of projections

Worlds 14–16 Data Disclaimer

Due to the increased difficulty of Worlds 14–16, obtaining accurate direct EXP measurements is currently difficult. These stages are rarely farmed with ships that have not yet reached the level/EXP cap, making reliable empirical testing challenging.

Therefore, the values shown for Worlds 14–16 are mathematical projections, extrapolated from the progression trends observed in Worlds 9–13.

The complete methodology and assumptions are included in the reference document for transparency.

If anyone in the community is willing to collect verified EXP data from these stages, I would be happy to compare the results and update the reference accordingly.

PSA: Minimum Campaign Stages for Cognitive Chips (Level Cap Increase to 120) & Augment Module Stones

For players planning their endgame farming routes:

Cognitive Chips + mainly T1 (Blue)/some T2 (Purple) Augment Module Stones
Recommended minimum: 12-1

Cognitive Chips + mainly T2 (Purple)/some T3 (Gold) Augment Module Stones
Recommended minimum: 14-1

I hope this reference helps players optimize their coin farming, EXP farming, and overall Oil efficiency.

Feedback, corrections, additional data, or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks to everyone who contributes information and helps improve these resources! And once again, sorry for the repost. The corrections were important enough to justify updating the guide.

Bremerton - Pillowed Counseling 1/4 has arrived!

She's huge, she's beautiful, she's perfect. After doing some additional research near her two huge pillows, I have discovered that you can flip her top over. Something that was not part of the description.

Slowly but surely, I am building the shrine of Bremmy.
