Quick overview of top rosary farming locations and yields
| Act / Stage | Location / Loop | Approx yield / time | Notes / Risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Act 1 (early) | Mosshome (Pilgrim room loop) | ~30 Rosaries / ~1 min | Low risk, good when you’re just starting |
| Act 1 | Greymoor — Halfway Home → 3 Pilgrims | ~29 Rosaries / <25 sec | Fastest early loop, but take care if you’re weak |
| Act 1 | Deep Docks — Insect corridor loop | ~40–45 Rosaries / ~1.5 min | Slightly higher yield, but enemies hit harder; benches not as close |
| Act 2 | Choral Chambers – Grand Reed corridor | ~96 Rosaries / ~1.5 min (≈ 3,500/hour) | Best “safe farm” in the mid game |
| Act 3+ | Choral Chambers / void enemies near benches | 100+ per lap | Higher yield but more risk; use stored Rosaries first |

How to maximize and protect your rosaries
Hack 1: Unlock Benches
Always unlock nearby benches for quick resets and safer runs. Use benches to both heal and respawn enemies you defeat for rosaries.
Hack 2: Use tools
Equip abilities and tools—like Barbed Bracelet and Thief’s Mark—before starting your runs to maximize both speed and value.
Hack 3: Cogwheel
For Act 2 and late-game, target Grand Reeds in Choral Chambers and consider the Cogwheel/Pollip Pouch combo for efficiency.
Hack 4: Save rosaries
Use rosary-saving tricks:
- Strike rosary strings to store currency safely or consume special items that bank earnings.
- Use Silkeaters or Strings in tight spots to avoid losing your bulk rosaries on death.
- If you die, quickly return to recover your rosaries before dying again, as you lose them permanently on a second death.
Hack 5: Banking roasaries
Don’t hesitate to bank rosaries into beads with Bellhart or similar vendors, especially before exploring risky new zones.
How to keep rosaries safe
- Save and quit at benches in tough areas to lock in your earnings.
- Always carry at least one rosary string for emergencies.
- Consider short, focused runs rather than marathon explorations with a heavy rosary load.
