Path Strongbox type / guard juice; Hidden Compartments is 15% openable twice (not a free double).
Prep
Pre-filter Quantity / Pack Size / Rares; stage Alchemy for Researcher's crafts.
Run order
Path Strongboxes; craft Researcher's first; open while density is live.
Strongbox opens are a burst guard fight — dangerous prefixes and rare packs punish glass clicks.
Prioritise Researcher's — Alch (and Exalt when priced) for Quantity / Rarity of Contained Items; that is the currency paycheck. Ornate with Quant/Rarity is the SSF rare/unique lane. Cartographer's with Quantity helps waystone sustain. Skip spending Alchemy on plain / Low-value types when Researcher's are on the map.
Usually no. Strongbox prefixes are mostly danger / guard packs, while suffixes carry Quantity and Rarity of Contained Items. Once a Rare Researcher’s already has three prefixes, further Exalts rarely improve the paycheck — stop and open.
No — Lolcohol finds no substantiated evidence the fifth open has better drop odds, and the gold cost scales hard (up to ~1050% per step). Take early cheap opens when you find Ventor’s; skip dumping millions of gold on the last click unless you are swimming in gold and want the gamble.
