How to Maximize Your Savings on IGGM? | A Step-by-Step Guide to Stack Points & VIP Discounts

Posted: Sep 02, 2026

Hey everyone! IGGM.com recently launched a major initiative–our brand-new points system is now live, and every registered user can participate!

Previously, saving money on IGGM.com relied mainly on VIP discounts and coupons. But now things are different! With the points system, the options have multiplied: daily check-ins earn points, every completed order automatically awards points, points can be directly deducted from cash, points can be redeemed for exclusive coupons, and even specific items.

Yes, there are many more ways to save money than before, but a question arises: with so many benefits, how do you combine them for the best deal each time you place an order?

Are you also struggling with this: a 10% discount coupon seems appealing, but if you're already a VIP, combining VIP discounts with points might save you more than using the coupon alone. Conversely, if you impulsively redeem points for coupons and then don't place an order before they expire, those points are wasted.

So don't rush, this money-saving guide from IGGM will teach you step by step how to combine these benefits to maximize your savings, ensuring that every point you earn is spent wisely!

Step 1: Develop a Daily Check-in Habit

To save money through the points system, accumulating enough points is the primary goal. The easiest way to accumulate points is through daily check-ins at IGGM check-in center.

The system provides increasing rewards based on consecutive check-ins:

Day 1: 5 points
Day 2: 6 points
Day 3: 8 points
Day 4 and thereafter: 10 points per day

Clearly, consistent check-ins are far more valuable than occasional check-ins. Once you reach four consecutive days of check-ins, as long as you check in promptly each day, you can continue to earn up to 10 points daily.

However, if you miss a check-in, your check-in record will be reset, meaning the check-in cycle will have to start again from day one with 5 points.

Therefore, the first step to maximizing your points rewards is simple: complete your check-in before the daily reset time. (Each user's check-in reset time is based on the time-zone of your IGGM account's registered IP address.)

The goal is to make check-ins a part of your daily routine. Even if you don't plan to place an order today, points will still accumulate and can be used for future purchases.

Step 2: Don't waste the 10x points bonus on your first order!

IGGM has prepared a special welcome gift for every new registered user—a 10x points bonus on your first order (subtotal at least $1)!

What does this mean? The points rule requires you to earn 1 point for every $1 spent. But with your first order, you can earn points equivalent to several regular orders. Thousands of points are easily within your reach, so don't miss out!

However, new users, please note that while the 10x points on your first order is great, there's a small requirement: the subtotal amount must be greater than $1 to receive the points bonus.

If you casually place a small order of $0.50, you won't get the points—and worse, this order will still count as your "first order." In other words, your valuable new customer benefits are being wasted.

Therefore, our sincere advice is: don't rush to place an order; save up what you need first.

For example, if you're planning to buy some in-game equipment soon, or need to replenish your currency in a couple of days—consider combining them into one order before payment. This way, you'll maximize your 10x points reward, and the points you earn will save you money on your next order.

Therefore, before placing an order, please ensure:

You have registered and logged into your IGGM account.
Your order's subtotal amount exceeds $1.
Have you considered combining multiple purchases to gain longer-term value?

One-time new customer benefits must be planned wisely to avoid losses. We really don't want to see you waste them on a small order!

Step 3: Remember that points expire

Accumulating points is important, but points don't necessarily become more valuable the longer they're accumulated.

According to the current points system, 100 points are equivalent to $1; everyone can do the math. However, many people easily overlook a detail: points expire on a rolling basis. Once points are credited, they automatically expire if not used within 90 days.

Therefore, IGGM sincerely advises you to check your points balance and expiration dates regularly.

Some players think, "I'll wait and use them on my next big purchase," only to receive an expiration notice and lose all their points without having bought anything. Don't let this happen to you.

Our experience suggests managing points in two categories, which is very simple:

For points about to expire—don't hesitate, use them now. Even using them to offset a small purchase is a hundred times better than losing them entirely;
For points with an expiration date of more than one month—don't rush, wait for your planned big purchase to use them, and you'll be fine.

In short, if you do have shopping plans in the next few weeks, saving them is fine. But if a batch of points is already on the verge of expiring, take our advice: use them. The real benefit is the benefit you actually receive.

Step 4: Choose the Right Points Redemption Method

Now that you've accumulated your points, how can you spend them most wisely? We currently offer three options:

Direct deduction at checkout.
Redeem for a discount code or cash coupon.
Redeem for special in-game items/currency if available.

There's no absolute best or worst method; which is most cost-effective depends on your order amount and VIP rank.

Direct cash deduction – the most convenient!

Direct points deduction is the simplest and most straightforward. You can get a discount if your order's subtotal exceeds $1, which is very beneficial for regular buyers.

However, how much you can redeem depends on how much you spend on your order:

$1.00-$9.99: Maximum 5%
$10.00-$49.99: Maximum 8%
$50+: Maximum 10%

By now, you should have noticed an opportunity:

If you're planning to buy several items soon, don't rush to place separate orders. Combine your purchases into one large order, say $50 or more, to unlock the maximum 10% discount, which is much more cost-effective than splitting them into several orders and using lower discount tiers separately. However, this requires you to have enough points to redeem.

For example, let's say you plan to buy $20 worth of gold coins today and $30 worth of items a couple of days later. If you split them into two orders, you can only get an 8% discount each, which is $1.6 and $2.4 respectively. But if you combine them into a single $50 order, you get a direct 10% discount, saving $5—a whole $1 extra!

Of course, we must warn you upfront: never buy things you don't need just to reach a discount tier.

The best strategy is always to consolidate your intended purchases into one order. Save where you can, and don't spend where you shouldn't—that's the smartest way to spend.

Redeem points for coupons - don't redeem blindly!

Besides direct deduction at checkout, you have other options: take your points to IGGM Coupon Center and redeem them for a discount code or cash coupon.

The current redemption tiers are as follows:

Points Spent	Discount Code	Cash Coupon (Min. Order Req.)
100	3%	$1 (Order ≥ $10)
200	4%	$3 (Order ≥ $30)
300	5%	$5 (Order ≥ $50)
400	8%	$8 (Order ≥ $80)
500	10%	$10 (Order ≥ $95)

Looking at the table, doesn't redeem 500 points for a 10% discount or a $10 cash coupon seem like the best deal?

However, before redeeming coupons, ask yourself: Have you already decided what you want to buy?

This is very important because redeemed coupons are only valid for three days. If you redeem a coupon only to find the desired item is out of stock or no longer needed, your coupon may have expired before you could use it. You've wasted your points and the coupon—a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, IGGM suggests: decide what you want to buy first, then redeem coupons.

Add the items you want to your shopping cart;
Confirm that the subtotal amount and stock are both okay;
Check the redemption center to see if using the coupon or direct discount is more worthwhile—then decide how to spend your points.

Another easily overlooked detail: the number of coupons redeemable each week is limited to 30. If you have your eye on a coupon that's particularly suitable for your order, check the stock beforehand to avoid finding it's already redeemed when you're ready to place your order.

In short, remember: add items to your cart first, then redeem coupons to avoid waste.

Redeemable Special Items - Limited Stock!

Besides discount codes and cash coupons, IGGM Coupon Center occasionally offers hidden perks—directly redeeming in-game items with points, such as popular items like POE 1/2 orbs, Diablo 4 Lair Keys, and Monopoly GO stickers. Like redeemable coupons, these are limited in quantity and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We recommend paying special attention to these special redemptions, as they differ from fixed-tier coupons—the number of points required to redeem the same item is not fixed and will fluctuate based on market conditions and demand.

So, remember to check the redemption center regularly; you might be able to redeem what you want with fewer points than usual.

But remember: only redeem what you truly need. Impulsively buying items with discounts and filling your inventory with unwanted items isn't saving money; it's wasting points.

Step 5: The Best Way to Stack Discounts

Having discussed various ways to save money, we've finally arrived at the most exciting part—stack these discounts together; this is the true killer feature of IGGM points system.

Before explaining how to stack discounts, let's take a minute to clarify IGGM VIP exclusive discount mechanism.

Only registered users can become IGGM VIP members, and VIP level depends entirely on your cumulative spending. It is valid indefinitely, and the higher your spending, the greater the discount, with a maximum saving of 5%.

The next rule is the most important, as it directly determines how to spend most cost-effectively:

VIP Discounts CAN be combined with Points Deductions.
VIP Discounts CANNOT be stacked with Discount Codes or Cash Coupons.

In other words, at checkout, you usually only have two options:

Option A: Use a single coupon you redeemed.

Option B: VIP discount + direct points redemption, use both together.

VIP Discount + Points Redemption

If you're a VIP, Option B is generally more cost-effective.

For example, suppose you've reached a high VIP level and have enough points in your account to maximize the discount. In this case, you don't need to spend points to redeem a 10% coupon—just use VIP discount plus points redemption to easily save money.

Therefore, here's a practical tip for VIP users: Don't blindly use 500 points to redeem a 10% discount code or a $10 cash coupon. Stop and compare first.

The good news is that our IGGM checkout system actually helps you compare different discount methods and even directly shows you which is more cost-effective. However, if you have a clear idea of what's going on beforehand, you'll be more at ease when planning your points and won't be caught off guard at the last minute.

Use a single coupon

So, are coupons completely useless for VIP players? Of course not.

Coupons aren't useless; it's all about timing. For example, using coupons is actually more suitable in these situations:

You don't have many points in your account, which won't amount to much money;
Your VIP level is relatively low, limiting the discount;
But you have just enough points to redeem a high-value coupon, and the amount of your order just meets the coupon's threshold.

In this case, the coupon might save you more money than the combination of VIP discounts and points redemption.

For users who haven't reached VIP level yet? It's even more straightforward—when your order amount is close to the threshold for a coupon, redeeming that coupon is often the most profitable choice.

Finally, here's a money-saving tip: Don't just focus on which discount percentage is the highest, but rather on which checkout method is the most cost-effective.

Different discount stacking methods

Final Conclusion

We've now covered all the features of IGGM points system. Let's highlight the key points.

The core of this points system isn't about how much you save in a single transaction, but about making it a long-term money-saving habit. It's not about spending points indiscriminately, but about strategically accumulating and using them.

How do you accumulate points? It's actually very easy: simply check in daily, and your points will slowly increase; every order automatically earns you points, the more you buy, the more you earn; and you can use your accumulated points to directly deduct cash, redeem coupons, or exchange them for in-game items—three paths, each with its own unique use.

Just do these things:

Check in daily to make sure your free points don't slip away;
Plan your orders beforehand and order everything you need at once;
Take ten seconds at checkout to compare prices—is a direct discount or a coupon more cost-effective? Don't forget to include your VIP status in the calculation.

Then, every order you make at IGGM will maximize your savings potential. Every point will be spent wisely.

Now you understand how to use the points system to save money, right? Check your points balance now and decide which order offers the best deal! IGGM welcomes you anytime!

IGGM Points System & Rules Explained | How to Earn Points, Redeem Coupons, Stack VIP Perks & Get Free Orders?

To provide players with more cost-effective gaming products and services, IGGM platform has officially launched a brand-new points system, designed to let you enjoy a superior shopping experience while spending less!

Below, we break down everything you need to know: how to earn points efficiently, use them for discounts or to redeem exciting rewards, and stack VIP benefits to maximize your savings.

Before Using the Points System - Registration Required

Please note that IGGM's new points system is available only to registered and logged-in users. If you haven't registered or logged in yet, you will need to do so to access Check-in and Points pages.

How to Earn Points?

Accumulating points at IGGM is simple and straightforward, primarily through two channels: daily check-ins and order rewards.

1. Daily Check-in

Simply click the "Check In Today" button on the IGGM Check-in Center page to complete your check-in; once the button changes to "️Checked In (Come back tomorrow)," your points have been successfully credited! Alternatively, you can also check in by clicking the current date on the calendar.

Please note that your check-in time is based on the time zone used when you registered your IGGM account. For example, if you registered your account in PDT (UTC-08:00) time zone, you can only complete the check-in within that time zone on the day in question.

You can view your account registration date on My Profile or Check-in page to ensure you don't miss a check-in!

One-tap check-in (Easter egg)

There's a little Easter egg here! If you forget to check in for the day and land straight on the coupon redemption page, just tap the "little rocket" emoji at the bottom of the list to check in instantly - no need to navigate back to the Check-in Center. You'll still get those incremental rewards for consecutive check-ins.

Please note the visual differences between PC and mobile versions! For PC users, the small rocket only begins to shake and emit flames when you hover your cursor over it; a single click launches the rocket and credits your check-in points. For mobile users, the rocket icon shakes continuously—simply tap it to check in and earn your points instantly!

Other Check-in Entry

In addition, IGGM provides the following access points for quick and convenient daily check-ins:

1. Click "Go Now" on the coupon redemption page to visit the check-in center.

2. Click the coupon section at the bottom of the homepage to access the check-in center.

3. Click the banner at the bottom of any product page on IGGM to access the check-in center.

IGGM product page quick check-in entrance

4. Quickly access the Check-in Center via the My Account → My Orders page.

Incremental Rewards for Consecutive Check-ins

IGGM's check-in system rewards consistency. If you check in without interruption, your daily points will increase over time: 5 points on the first day, 6 points on the second, and 8 points on the third. From the fourth day onwards, as long as you maintain your streak, you will consistently receive the maximum reward of 10 points per day.

Notes: If you check in via the check-in banner on the product page during your shopping journey, you can return to your original page via Back Shopping at the bottom after completing the check-in and triggering the points accumulation. You don't have to worry about your shopping progress being affected!

Reset Upon Interruption

If you miss a day or break your streak for any reason, your progress will reset to zero. Your next check-in will start back at the Day 1 rate of 5 points. Please note that the daily check-in reset is based on the server's time zone; be sure to check in on time to avoid losing progress due to network issues or other interruptions.

2. Points for Orders

Additionally, whenever you make an order on the IGGM platform, the system will award you points based on your subtotal amount.

Point Accrual Rate: $1 = 1 Point

Under standard conditions, every $1 of your actual spending converts directly into 1 point. To simplify calculations for order amounts involving decimals, IGGM rounds to the nearest whole number when determining the points earned. For example, if you pay $17.35, you receive 17 points; if you pay $34.86, you receive 35 points.

To ensure system efficiency for small transactions, the subtotal amount paid for an order must be at least $1 to trigger point accrual; orders under $1 do not generate any points.

Furthermore, points for all orders will be automatically credited to your account by the system only after the order status has officially changed to "Completed"; the number of points corresponds to the amount of the qualifying purchase.

Please note that orders completed without logging into your IGGM account will not be awarded points. Therefore, if you want to earn points to redeem for more offers, register and log into your account now!

New User Perk: 10x Point Rewards

IGGM has a welcome gift for new users! Your first paid order on IGGM automatically qualifies for a generous 10x points reward.

However, if your first order's subtotal is less than $1, you will not receive any points, and your first-order privilege as a new user will be used up. Therefore, IGGM recommends buying higher-value items you need during your first order to make the most of the 10x point reward.

Add more items to your cart to make the most of the 10x points reward for new customers

Due to the significant value of this offer, points for the first order will be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a security review, provided no refund occurs within 24 hours.

You can view the specific points added upon completion in the My Account → My Orders section of IGGM.com. If you have just completed a payment but do not see the points immediately, please do not worry - simply wait a short while.

Point Value and Validity

Understanding the value of your points helps you make the best use of them. In the IGGM point system, 100 points = $1 (meaning each point is worth approximately $0.01).

Please note that points are not valid indefinitely; each point expires 90 days from the date it was earned. IGGM employs a user-friendly rolling expiration policy: points earned on Day 1 will expire at the end of Day 91. The specific calculation time for rolling expiration depends on the time zone of your account's IP address.

You can check for notifications regarding points nearing expiration on the "My Points" page of your account at any time to ensure you don't miss out on benefits.

Multiple Ways to Use Points: Direct Cash Deduction and Coupon Exchange

When buying items on IGGM, you can choose to use your accumulated points to directly offset the cash cost of your order or exchange them for significant discounts at IGGM Coupon Redemption Center. The choice is entirely yours!

Option A: Direct Cash Deduction at Checkout

On the checkout page, you can use the points in your account balance to reduce the cost of your current order. The proportion of the order total that can be offset by points is directly linked to your order subtotal.

Please refer to the table below for specific deduction ratios based on order subtotal ranges:

Order Subtotal Range	Max Point Deduction Ratio
$1.00 - $9.99	5%
$10.00 - $49.99	8%
$50.00+	10%

Important notes on using points for cash deductions:

Points are awarded only for successfully completed orders; orders that are voluntarily cancelled, flagged for suspected fraud, or fully refunded are not eligible for points;
Points for your first order are not credited immediately; they will be issued within 24 hours after successful delivery, provided no refund has occurred;
If an order involving points undergoes a partial refund, the system will deduct the corresponding points (rounded based on the refund amount) and return any points that were consumed. Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount);
Points can be used in conjunction with VIP discounts;
Cannot be used in conjunction with discount codes or cash coupons;
Cannot be exchanged for cash;
Cannot be withdrawn as cash;
Cannot be transferred between accounts;
IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation for all points-related policies.

Option B: Redeem Discount Codes or Cash Coupons

You can also visit the points redemption page to exchange points (in tiers ranging from 100 to 500 points) for discount codes (various rates) or cash coupons (subject to minimum order requirements). For example, the $10 cash coupon can only be used if your order's subtotal amount is $95 or more. If your subtotal is less than $95, the coupon will not automatically appear at checkout.

Points Spent	Discount Code	Cash Coupon (Min. Order Req.)
100	3%	$1 (Order ≥ $10)
200	4%	$3 (Order ≥ $30)
300	5%	$5 (Order ≥ $50)
400	8%	$8 (Order ≥ $80)
500	10%	$10 (Order ≥ $95)

Points-to-Coupon Redemption Page

By the way, if you forget to check in for the day, the little rocket emoji on this coupon page is your quick way to do so! With a simple tap, a shake of the little rocket, and your points are in the bag!

All discount codes and cash coupons are limited to 30 per week, first come, first served! All redeemable rewards reset every Friday at 4:00 PM (UTC+8)/1:00 AM PDT.

Different colors clearly indicate the current stock status: green for 21-30 remaining, orange for 11-20, and red for 1-10. When stock reaches zero, it will display "Out of stock." But don't worry, all redeemable prize inventory resets every Friday at 4:00 PM (UTC+8). Let's do it earlier next time!

Points can be directly redeemed for specific items

While coupons are great, please keep in mind that all discount codes or cash coupons are valid for only 3 days. Redeem them carefully and ensure the items you wish to buy are in stock to avoid wasting your points.

Additionally, please note that all redeemed and used discount codes, cash coupons, and free orders are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-restoreable. Therefore, please carefully check the items you wish to buy before using your coupons to avoid losing them due to subsequent refunds or other changes!

You can view your coupons and their current expiration status on the My Account → My Coupons page.

Note: You can now quickly access the coupon redemption page not only through REDEEM button in the product page navigation bar, but also through "Coupon Center" at the bottom of IGGM homepage. We recommend bookmarking this page for convenient future check-ins and redemptions - saving you time and effort.

The product page navigation provides quick access to the points redemption page

Stacking Discounts and Maximizing Savings

How can you get the most savings when checking out? IGGM has designed a smart checkout system based on our VIP ranks and point-redemption rules.

At IGGM, VIP discounts stack perfectly with direct point deductions. However, please note that redeemed discount codes or cash coupons cannot be combined with VIP discounts or point deductions. Additionally, only one coupons may be used per order.

At checkout, the system automatically compares the final costs of "Option 1 (VIP Benefits + Direct Point Deduction)" and "Option 2 (Single Discount Codes or Cash Coupons)" to select the most cost-effective choice for you, saving you the trouble of manual calculations. Which option offers the best deal will be displayed next to that option (Best Value). Of course, if you have your own preferences regarding coupon and point usage, you are free to select your preferred discount method.

Different discount stacking methods

Refunds and Point Returns

IGGM's refund policy allows you to request a refund at any time prior to the completion of delivery. However, we have specific rules regarding the refund and rebate of your points in this situation:

Situation 1: Full Refund

If you cancel your order for personal reasons, orders suspected of fraud or requiring a full refund will not be awarded points; furthermore, points already used in such orders will not be refunded.

However, if a full refund is issued due to reasons attributable to IGGM, the points consumed for the order will be fully refunded to your account.

Situation 2: Partial Refund

If an order involving awarded points undergoes a partial refund due to special circumstances, the system will refund a portion of the consumed points on a pro-rata basis relative to the refund amount. Naturally, the points rebate you would have originally received upon order completion will also be adjusted; the corresponding points will be deducted based on the refund amount, with the figure rounded to the nearest whole number.

Here is the formula for calculating point returns during a refund:

Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount)
Deducted Earned Points = Subtotal Amount - Refund Amount (rounded to the nearest whole number)

The all-new IGGM member point system is designed to offer you more viable discount options for your long-term gaming purchases. Every point accumulated is a sincere token of our appreciation for your support.

Frequently Asked Questions about IGGM Points System

Q1: Can I transfer my VIP 5 perks from my old account to a newly created account and start accumulating check-in points there?

A: No. To ensure account security and platform fairness, VIP tiers and points are treated as exclusive assets of an individual account. According to our system security rules, transferring, merging, or gifting perks across different accounts is strictly unsupported.

Q2: My account currently has 277 points. If I buy items worth $34.68 and use up all my points to get a $2.77 deduction, but later receive a partial refund of $15.44 due to certain factors, how many points will I end up with?

A: Your original $34.68 order generates 35 points based on rounding. Due to the partial refund of $15.44, the system will proportionately deduct 15 points (rounded to the nearest whole number). Therefore, the net points earned from this purchase will be: 35 - 15 = 20 points. Additionally, the system will return the points you consumed. Based on the calculation formula: Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Total Purchase Amount), you will get back 123 points. As a result, your final account balance will be 123 + 20 = 143 points.

Q3: Can I create unlimited new IGGM accounts and place small orders to exploit the 10x points newcomer reward?

A: No. IGGM strictly prohibits the malicious registration of multiple accounts, utilizing technical exploits, or engaging in order manipulation to farm newcomer benefits. Our system is equipped with rigorous anti-fraud and risk control mechanisms: the 10x points multiplier for the first order will only be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a 24-hour anti-abuse system review. If the risk control system detects multi-account farming linked by the same IP, same device, same payment method, or malicious account associations, the platform reserves the right to permanently ban the related accounts and clear all accrued benefits.

Q4: I just registered an account and my first order was a small item for $0.9. Because it was under $1, the system didn't give me any points. Then, my second order was for $100. Why didn't my second order get the 10x points? My first order didn't receive any points anyway, shouldn't this second order count as my actual "valid first order"?

A: No. The system strictly identifies the "New User First Order" based on the very first paid order under your account, regardless of the transaction amount. The threshold ruling out points for subtotals under $1 is a foundational platform policy. Therefore, we highly recommend that new users consolidate their shopping carts on their first purchase and bundle higher-value items into the first order to fully maximize the value of the 10x points perk.

Q5: If a website error prevents me from checking in for the day, causing my check-in streak to break, what measures will IGGM take to compensate for my points loss?

A: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The daily check-in resets based on a specific time matching the server's time zone. If the streak is broken due to network latency or missing the refresh window, the system will strictly execute the automatic reset policy. We recommend completing your check-in as early as possible each day and ensuring a stable network environment. If the interruption is conclusively caused by a large-scale server outage on the platform, an official site-wide points compensation announcement will be issued once resolved. Please note that support agents do not have the authorization to manually alter individual check-in histories. Thank you for your understanding.

Q6: I spent 300 points to redeem a $5 cash coupon, but the game items I wanted have been out of stock on the platform for the past few days. As a result, the coupon expired within 3 days without being used. The stockout is the platform's issue, so why should my 300 points be deducted for nothing?

A: We apologize, but once a reward is redeemed at the Rewards Center, the corresponding points will be deducted and cannot be refunded. Because each reward is strictly limited to the first 30 users per week on a first-come, first-served basis, and the cash coupons are valid for 3 days, we highly recommend verifying current product stock and your purchase intent before making a redemption to avoid accidental cash coupon expiration.

Q7: Can I still request a refund if my order status is "Completed"? Can the points be refunded?

A: If IGGM has successfully completed the delivery and you have confirmed the order's completion, we unfortunately cannot honor refund requests. The points spent will not be returned. However, if IGGM fails to complete the service due to our own issues (for example, if Tycoon Racers carry service fails to help you achieve Rank #1), we will refund the points you spent according to the refund ratio.

Q8: Why do I keep encountering errors when trying to redeem a coupon?

A: Coupon redemption errors typically occur due to network instability or system security protocols. Your IP address might be flagged as originating from a high-risk region. We recommend adjusting your VPN settings or connecting to a different network, then trying again. If the issue persists, please reach out to our 24/7 Customer Support team for further assistance.

Q9: Can I use a script or plug-in to claim the weekly limited 30 discount codes/cash coupons available each week?

A: To ensure fairness for all players, we have implemented strict security measures. Redeeming any discount codes or cash coupons requires passing verification, rendering any script-based simulated clicks ineffective. IGGM reserves the right to void coupons and impose account restrictions on any account found using irregular methods (such as multi-instance farming, emulators, or third-party software) to forcibly claim coupons.

Q10: If I use points to offset the cost but later receive a refund due to special circumstances, will the validity period of the returned points be extended?

A: No. Returned points retain their original acquisition date and continue to follow the 90-day expiration rule; the IGGM platform will not reset or extend the expiration date due to a refund. Please use the returned points as soon as possible to avoid expiration!

Q11: Will the points required to redeem specific special items on IGGM change?

A: Yes. Considering that the prices of specific items in the game may fluctuate with game updates and changes in market demand, the points required for redeeming special items offered by IGGM will also be adjusted accordingly. However, rest assured that even with these adjustments, the points cost for redeeming items on IGGM remains far below the market price.

No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 Delayed to March 2027 with 60+ Hours of New Content and a New Class System
For players who have been battling through No Rest for the Wicked's early access for over two years, the 1.0 release, originally scheduled for October 2026, was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated milestones of the year. However, on September 1st, the studio suddenly announced that the final release date for 1.0 would be postponed from October of this year to March 2027.

Delay Announcement Explained

In a video, the creative director admitted that since the early access launch in early 2024, the team had been in a frantic sprint - constantly adding content, refining the class system, and advancing various features of version 1.0. However, after extensive internal testing, the team found that the game had not yet reached its full potential.

Therefore, the main objectives of the delay focus on three aspects:
- Performance Optimization: Improving the game's performance across various platforms
- Class System: Further refining the upcoming new class system
- Overall Quality Polishing: Refining the game to a standard that satisfies both the team and players
He also stated that NRFTW's first prototype began development as early as the end of 2016. After nearly a decade of development, the team hopes to land safely in the final months, rather than rushing a release with minor bugs. His goal is to release a game that can make history and endure.

It's worth mentioning that the studio acquired full publishing rights for No Rest for the Wicked in March 2025, achieving completely independent operation. This also means that the team has complete control over the game's quality, and the delay decision is not influenced by pressure from external publishers.

Beta Testing and Founders Pack

On the other hand, the delay also gives players more opportunities to experience the game early. The studio plans to hold several closed beta tests in the coming months, followed by an open beta test in December.

The delay announcement specifically mentioned that the December Open Beta will be the last opportunity for players to experience the test version before the official release in March 2027. At that time, players will be able to experience a wealth of new features and content, including a brand-new class system.

The team will gather player feedback through testing and continue development adjustments accordingly. The official team also promised to continuously share development progress, key features, and design decisions with the community through regular Wicked Inside updates.

Furthermore, due to the 1.0 delay, the studio has adjusted the deadline for obtaining the Founders Pack. All PC players who own No Rest for the Wicked before January 1, 2027, will receive Founders Pack reward; the previously set deadline of July 10th has been cancelled.

Meanwhile, PS5 pre-orders will begin in January 2027, and pre-order customers will also receive Founders Pack.

Key Highlights of 1.0: 60+ Hours of New Content and a Brand New Class System

60+ Hours of New Content

According to the studio's 1.0 plan, the official release of No Rest for the Wicked will not simply be the end of early access, but a massive expansion of the existing game. It is expected that 1.0 will add over 60 hours of new content, bringing the total content to approximately 100 hours.

Players will explore over 15 handcrafted new areas, face more bosses and enemies, and acquire a large number of new weapons. At the same time, Horde Mode will be added to the game, providing players with a more combat- and build-oriented challenge.

Faced with increasingly challenging content, players will also need to learn how to effectively utilize No Rest for the Wicked gold to repair equipment, replenish consumables, and prepare their character builds to better handle the new content brought by 1.0.

In terms of story, 1.0 will complete the final chapter of the main storyline and present a complete ending through new hand-drawn cutscenes. After completing the game, players can continue their challenge through a brand new endgame event.

The multiplayer experience will also be further improved. Persistent Multiplayer allows players to adventure together in private realms, where other players can continue to enter and progress even if the player who created the realm is offline.

Class System

The early access of NRFTW used a more traditional attribute system, which shaped characters through attribute points such as strength and dexterity. While this attribute progression method is mature, players can easily make attribute allocation choices without understanding the consequences, and these choices ultimately determine the character's playstyle.

Therefore, the studio decided to use the Jobs System from Final Fantasy Tactics as a key design inspiration in 1.0 to revamp No Rest for the Wicked progression system.

The core concept can be summarized as: a class should not just be a tag selected during character creation, but should truly change the way players fight.

For example, players can initially play as a Guardian. The Guardian is a typical sword and shield class, and the system rewards blocking, shielding, and defensive behaviors through traits.

However, if players find themselves particularly drawn to attacking enemies from behind, they can switch to Assassin, acquiring traits related to stealth and backstabs through assassin gameplay.

More importantly, players can carry over acquired Assassin traits to Guardian, granting their original sword and shield character some assassin abilities, ultimately creating a hybrid build distinct from traditional class templates.

While No Rest for the Wicked's 1.0 journey has been delayed by several months, every step has been solid. From the revolutionary class system to over 60 hours of new content, from the open beta in December to the extended founders pack window, the developers are demonstrating their commitment to quality.

Monopoly Go Next Partner Event Prediction: How to Prepare Dice, Tokens and Partners?
Monopoly Go Partner events are among the most popular activities for players. As long as none of the team members is inactive, completing the challenges and claiming the rewards is far from impossible.

The patterns behind each Monopoly Go album are becoming much easier to understand. The duration of several recent albums and the timing of their events follow recognizable patterns, which allows us to predict when the next Partner event may begin.

Partner Event Schedule

Take Monopoly Ever After and The Simpsons as examples. Both albums lasted eight weeks, or 56 days, and each featured three Partner events.

Unless the official schedule changes again, we can assume that other albums lasting eight weeks will follow a similar event schedule.

Let's take a look at the dates of all Partner events in these two albums:

Monopoly Ever After Album:
- Fairytale Partners: April 14, 2026 – April 19, 2026
- Villainous Partners: May 2, 2026 – May 7, 2026
- Gingerbread Partners: May 26, 2026 – May 31, 2026
The Simpsons Album:
- Simpsons Partners: June 12, 2026 – June 17, 2026
- Springfield Partners: June 30, 2026 – July 5, 2026
- Finale Partners: July 24, 2026 – July 29, 2026
When you combine the start and end dates of these two albums, you will find that the three Partner events were not arranged randomly.

Monopoly Ever After album ran from April 8, 2026, to June 3, while The Simpsons album ran from June 3, 2026, to July 29. You can see that the three events were generally concentrated around the beginning, middle, and later stages of each album.

When Will the Next Partner Event Take Place?

Happy Harvest with Looney Tunes album has already had two Partner events:
- Looney Tunes Partners: August 7, 2026 – August 12, 2026
- ACME FARM Partners: August 26, 2026 – August 31, 2026
These two events also took place during the early and middle stages of the album. Based on this pattern, we can expect one more Partner event to arrive near the end of the album, most likely around September 18 to September 23, lasting five days in total.

The third Racing event should also take place before the Partner event, with September 10 to September 14 being a possible date range.

How to Prepare for the Next Partner Event?

Monopoly Go Partner events usually reward thousands of dice and valuable sticker packs, while a Wild Sticker is generally included when the album is approaching its end. If you are only 1 or 2 Monopoly Go stickers away from completing your album, this could be your last opportunity.

Finding Partners

Finding reliable partners is the most important part of a Partner event. If any partner fails to log in during the event, it becomes much harder for the team to complete all the tasks and claim the final reward.

Although the system can automatically assign teammates, random players are not always reliable. If you want to claim the final reward, you should not leave the outcome to chance. Instead, prioritize players who are active, consistent, and willing to communicate.

Because you and your partner share the same progress bar, the more your partner contributes, the more milestone rewards you can both earn. On the other hand, if a partner makes no progress at all, the remaining players have to use more dice. This can even create a chain reaction that causes the entire team to stop making progress.

You should not invite someone simply because their avatar, level, or profile looks impressive. An ideal partner is someone who logs in every day and is active several times throughout the event.

These players should also have a solid supply of dice and be willing to communicate about when to make concentrated pushes. The best candidates are usually people you have partnered with before and who have already proven themselves reliable.

If you cannot find enough suitable partners, you can buy Monopoly Go Next Partner Event slots to complete your team. It is better not to wait for the system to assign random teammates.

Alternate Account

Some players have noticed that accounts with relatively low net worth sometimes seem to have better luck. You can therefore develop an alternate account that mainly saves up dice, avoid increasing its net worth, and then use it as one of your partners.

In theory, this could allow you to complete the event with fewer dice, but this is still only a speculation and may not actually work. You would also have to manage multiple accounts at the same time, which can be quite troublesome.

How to Collect Tokens?

As long as all your teammates are reliable, completing a Partner event does not necessarily require a huge amount of dice. You will probably want to save around 2,000–3,000 dice.

The final reward for the event is usually 5000 dice, so you can even earn a considerable amount of dice.

Partner events usually last around five days. Tokens do not only come from the special spaces on the board. Other sources include:
- Top Bar Milestones
- Side Tournament
- Quick Wins Shop
- Free Gift
- Other event rewards
Remember not to use all your dice at the beginning. During the first few days, you can push the tournament milestones to around Level 17 and the banner event milestones to around Level 36, without using too many additional dice.

You can be more flexible on the final day. If you have poor luck on the wheel, you can put a little more into the tournament and Top Bar banner event to collect additional tokens.

That is roughly what to expect from the next Monopoly Go Partner event. Understanding these patterns in advance will allow you to prepare ahead of time.
ARC Raiders Update 1.44.0 Hidden Clues Hinting at Preparations for Frozen Trail: Focusing on Outfits and Shotgun Parts

Following the conclusion of Gamescom 2026, ARC Raiders team returned to their regular schedule, released Update 1.44.0 this Tuesday.

While the content of Update 1.44.0 was relatively minimal, the arrival of September signals that the launch of Frozen Trail is drawing ever closer.

Consequently, any seemingly minor adjustment made by the development team from this point forward could well be a step toward delivering a superior Frozen Trail experience.

To ensure you are fully prepared for the deep gameplay experience awaiting you in ARC Raiders: Frozen Trail, launching on October 8, we have analyzed the contents of Update 1.44.0 to speculate on potential changes and help you get ready in advance.

The launch and temporary removal of the new set

Update 1.44.0 was a straightforward store update; it did not include bug fixes or similar technical patches, focusing instead on the release of the new Static set.

Awkwardly, before players could even log in to find the set in the store, the development team issued an emergency hotfix to temporarily remove both Static and Cavalier sets from the store and customization menus.

The official explanation cited the need to tweak certain visual details. While this does not appear to be a complex technical fix, ARC Raiders team has not specified a date for their return.

Static Set may herald a new era of frigid weather

Although Static set did not launch as scheduled, images of the complete outfit are already available. Visually, it is a standard winter combat ensemble: a thick coat and trousers paired with a fully sealed helmet.

This aesthetic inevitably brings to mind what we already know about ARC Raiders: Frozen Trail. While Frozen Trail far surpasses last year's Cold Snap in terms of map complexity and gameplay content, the two share a common theme: extreme cold.

It is reasonable to suspect that Static set is a precursor to a wider range of sets designed for Frozen Trail, and that the recent modifications aim to better align the gear with the expansion's visual style.

If you have played Cold Snap condition, you know that the freezing climate takes a toll on your health and defense; Frozen Trail is likely to escalate these consequences through new map conditions or other environmental elements.

How to prepare to acquire potential new sets?

While specific sets and their pieces aren't the primary means of surviving the freezing cold in ARC Raiders, wearing outfits suited to the environment will certainly enhance your Frozen Trail experience.

Most ARC Raiders sets are obtained by exchanging Raider Tokens in the shop. Beyond completing specific projects and acquiring Raider Decks, you can now also earn these tokens by completing Expedition Departure missions.

The next opportunity is Expedition 5 Departure mission, which begins on September 8 and runs for three weeks. If you deal at least 100,000 points of damage during this period, you can earn 750 Raider Tokens as a reward.

Additionally, Phantom Targets project, launched in early August, concludes on September 6. Completing all its steps will also unlock a small amount of tokens.

Removal of Shotgun Parts from Ermal's shop

A second key update from the hotfix accompanying Update 1.44.0 is the removal of Shotgun Parts from Ermal's shop.

As the game's newest vendor, Ermal allows you to trade surplus loot for ARC Raiders items you actually need, with the available inventory rotating weekly.

Shotgun Parts, a common crafting material, would occasionally appear in Ermal's rotating stock. They are essential for crafting various high-level gear items, with the part's tier corresponding to the gear's tier.

The removal of Shotgun Parts in Update 1.44.0 means that, for the foreseeable future, acquiring these parts, and consequently crafting the associated guns, will become slightly more difficult.

It is reasonable to speculate that the development team made this change to encourage players to put more effort into scavenging and combat once Frozen Trail launches, ensuring they fully experience the new maps and enemies.

How to deal with this removal?

Although you can no longer obtain Shotgun Parts through trading with Ermal, other farming sources remain reliable, and lower-tier Shotgun Parts are generally easier to acquire.

For instance, Simple Gun Parts can be found randomly while scavenging, traded for with Celeste (another ARC Raiders vendor), or obtained as drops by defeating specific ARCs.

In other words, once you know these methods, earning extra Shotgun Parts ahead of Frozen Trail launch won't be difficult.

It is also worth noting that, in addition to Raider Tokens, the permanent rewards for Expedition 5 launch window missions include five random blueprints.

You can therefore prioritize using your recently acquired Shotgun Parts for the crafting recipes corresponding to these blueprints, allowing you to prepare weapons capable of handling the new content more quickly before Frozen Trail begins.

ARC Raiders at Gamescom 2026

Update 1.44.0 also mentioned ARC Raiders' presence at Gamescom 2026. Although the developers didn't reveal much new information beyond the functionality of Camera Gadget, they created an engaging booth and hosted entertaining offline events.

This demonstrates that, despite the lack of major updates for nearly six months, the development team remains highly confident that Frozen Trail will bring players back to the game.

Ultimately, while preparing for a smooth transition into Frozen Trail will require more than just the steps mentioned above, Update 1.44.0 offers a great starting point, allowing you to get a head start and approach the new content with greater confidence than others.
Diablo 4 Season 15 Release Date & Features: Rebirth, Soul Splinters, New Endgame and More
With Diablo 4 Season 14 drawing to a close, countless Sanctuary warriors have turned their attention to Season 15. Although the official leaks are still pending, the full picture of S15 is gradually becoming clearer through the completed 3.2.0 PTR and cross-verification from multiple sources. This article will provide a prediction of the release date for Diablo 4 Season 15 and introduce the currently confirmed features one by one.

Release Date Prediction

Currently, Diablo 4 Season 15 is most likely to release around September 15th. The reasons for choosing September 15th as the most noteworthy date are as follows:

Reliquary Countdown

Reliquary is the system interface used to display and obtain season rewards. Players can check their progress in the current season within it. According to the current in-game countdown, the season ends in mid-September. Since this date is directly derived from Diablo 4's timer mechanism, it's one of the most direct indicators of the Season 15 release date.

PTR Testing Cycle

Based on past seasons, Diablo 4's PTR typically requires approximately 4-6 weeks for feedback collection, balance adjustments, and final version preparation after its conclusion. 3.2.0 PTR ended on August 11th; if this cycle holds true, the new season's release window would naturally fall in mid-September.

BlizzCon 2026

Finally, the timing of BlizzCon 2026 further increases the likelihood of a September 15th release. This year's BlizzCon will be held from September 12th to 13th. If Season 15 ultimately launches on September 15th, the official team can use this period for promotion and content announcements, conducting a final round of pre-season hype before launching the new season immediately after the event. Overall, this timing is highly reasonable in terms of version release rhythm.

S15 Confirmed Features

D4 S15 brings players several game-changing new systems and gameplay features, many of which are features long requested by the community.

Rebirth

This is the most anticipated change in S15 by veteran players. Rebirth allows players to directly convert their existing Eternal Realm characters into seasonal characters, completely eliminating the repetitive work of creating characters from scratch each season.

It's important to note that after rebirth, the character's level will be reset to 1, and equipment and inventory items will be cleared. However, the following will be retained:
- Class, Character Name
- Transmogs, Dye Pigments, Mounts, and Accessories
- Pets
- Playtime
Unlike the one-click rebirth in Diablo 3, D4's rebirth requires players to manually clear their character's equipment before proceeding. While this design adds an extra step, it also avoids the risk of accidentally losing valuable equipment.

Legacy Uniques

S15 will bring back nine classic Uniques from previous installments of the series, making them permanent content in D4:
1. Leoric's Crown
2. Nemesis Bracers
3. Stone of Jordan
4. Squirt's Blouse
5. Arioc's Needle
6. Henri's Perquisition
7. In-Geom
8. The Furnace
9. Messerschmidt's Reaver
These items are not simply replicas of the originals; rather, they have been redesigned to fit the current Diablo 4 items system while retaining the classic mechanics and distinctive features. For example, Leoric's Crown, although occupying a helmet slot, will be considered Jewelry and will enhance the effect of gems socketed into helmets.

Soul Splinters

S15 introduces a new type of socketable item - Soul Splinters, a special component primarily used for Jewelry sockets. Soul Splinters have five quality tiers: common, magic, rare, legendary, and unique, and can be upgraded using Horadric Cube.

It's worth noting that Soul Splinters aren't simply designed to provide attribute boosts, but rather to offer powerful buffs with clearly defined negative consequences. The side effects of different splinters involve resource consumption, critical hit chance, movement speed, damage taken, and health, among others.

Therefore, players need to find the optimal balance between damage, resources, mobility, survivability, and monster-killing efficiency based on their specific build needs. This item is expected to be a significant variable in D4 Season 15 builds.

Challenge Dungeons

Season 15 introduces Challenge Dungeons as endgame content. Unlike traditional dungeons like The Pit and Undercity, which are accessed through fixed entrances, Challenge Dungeons utilize a random portal mechanism that players can trigger during open-world exploration.

When players explore the world, participate in Helltide, or complete Whispers-related events, a portal may randomly appear nearby. Entering it will immediately lead to a high-intensity boss fight.

The core feature of Challenge Dungeons is that the difficulty can be adjusted by the player. Upon entering Dungeons, you'll encounter three altars representing different difficulty levels. The altars display difficulty as +5, +10, or +15, rather than a direct Torment level. Higher difficulty yields richer rewards, providing a new endgame objective for players seeking extreme challenges and high returns.

Overland Ambushes

Complementing Challenge Dungeons is another new open-world combat mechanic - Overland Ambushes. While exploring the open world, players may, in rare instances, be hunted by demons. The system will issue a warning in advance, giving players 30 seconds to decide whether to engage or retreat.

The developers position this as an encounter for high-level characters, aiming to add a more random and tense combat experience to open-world exploration. The specific trigger frequency and reward details are yet to be announced.

Mythic Unique Crafting Adjustments

Diablo 4 Season 15 also features significant adjustments to Mythic Unique crafting, with the core focus on reducing randomness and giving players greater control over their final gear.

For example, when using Horadric Cube to upgrade a direct item to a mythic recipe, a 1:1 direct conversion mechanism will be used - the original gear's affixes, tempering, and masterworking will be retained without further random conversion.

Currently, the core framework of Season 15 is gradually becoming clearer, but PTR does not represent the final version, and some content and specific values may still be adjusted before the official release. September 15th is only a highly credible prediction; the final date and unannounced season content still await official confirmation.
Path of Exile 3.29 Luminary Mercenary Build Crafting Strategy for Fast Currency: How to Break Your Map Profits?

The introduction of Luminary, the third Scion Ascendancy class, has turned the mercenary-focused playstyle into a popular and highly effective choice in Path of Exile 3.29.

Naturally, to maximize the combat rewards from this mechanic, you need to craft a solid Luminary Mercenary build. Here, we introduce a build centered around Rogue Exile enemy type.

What is the core of this build?

To craft this Luminary Mercenary build, the key lies in leveraging the synergy between Rogue Exiles and specific Scarabs; by summoning large numbers of Rogue Exiles, you trigger the generation of more high-tier mercenaries.

By combining this with specific Atlas passives, you can upgrade your mercenaries' gear to higher rarities. This allows you to earn more PoE currency or recruit superior mercenaries while fighting alongside them as a Luminary.

However, crafting this build comes with strict requirements for your initial survivability and damage output, as you will need to clear high-modifier maps filled with Rogue Exiles, and the mercenaries accompanying them, that deal massive damage and possess large health pools.

On the other hand, the build's ultimate profitability depends on the value of the mercenaries you secure and the drop rates of rare items and currency, making the returns somewhat volatile. If you prefer a more stable playstyle, this build might not be for you.

Which scarabs should you add?

Given Luminary's unique mercenary-based mechanics, the first step in crafting this build isn't selecting skills, as is typical for other builds, but rather unlocking and configuring the right Scarabs.

First, use Anarchy Scarabs and specific Atlas passive nodes to flood your maps with Rogue Exiles. Pair this with Trarthan Scarab of Surprising Alliances, which gives these Exiles a 50% chance to bring a Wild Mercenary along with them.

Next, add Trarthan Scarab of Infamy; this converts the primary mercenaries that spawn into the Infamous variant and increases the number of random mercenary encounters within the map.

Finally, Trarthan Scarab of Renown forces all gear carried by mercenaries in the area to be converted to Unique quality.

As for Astrolabe, you technically don't have to include it, but a traditional Templar Astrolabe offers solid bonuses, such as yielding more currency, Scarabs, or other rewards during your mapping runs.

How to improve mapping efficiency?

To secure high-quality and high-quantity mercenaries for your Luminary Mercenary build, on top of the bonuses provided by the aforementioned items, you must first be selective about which maps you run.

Generally, it is best to choose maps with clear layouts that allow for rapid clearing; ideally, each run should take less than two minutes.

Top choices include Mesa or City Square, while Dunes, Strand, and Atoll are also viable options. Maps like Jungle Valley should be avoided whenever possible.

Next, you need to adjust the difficulty by rolling map modifiers, as this directly impacts your final returns. While eight-mod maps usually offer the highest yields, certain modifiers require caution or should be avoided entirely.

For instance, modifiers that increase monster life can cause Rogue Exiles' health to skyrocket, dragging out the encounter and reducing your success rate. Modifiers affecting critical strike chance, damage, or multipliers can also be problematic.

If you struggle with high-difficulty maps, an Alch and Go strategy on moderately difficult maps is a perfectly viable alternative. The underlying mechanics remain the same, but with fewer modifiers involved, the difficulty drops significantly.

Alternatively, if you want maximum ease and minimal hassle, you can simply run the maps as white (normal quality), clearing them without any added modifiers.

You can still achieve substantial returns this way because Rogue Exiles operate on an independent loot system; their rewards are unaffected by map item quantity, rarity, or other modifiers.

Once you've selected your map and difficulty, clear the monsters and the boss quickly, then look for duplicate altars, prioritizing unique item, scarab, and currency duplication.

This ensures that when you encounter and defeat mercenaries, the loot drop rate doubles, accelerating both your profit accumulation and the crafting efficiency for your Luminary Mercenary build.

If you encounter mercenaries with particularly troublesome mod combinations that cause your character to die repeatedly, simply bypass them and move to the next map; do not waste time stubbornly trying to defeat them.

Atlas Tree configuration

Beyond Scarabs, selecting the right passive skills is crucial for maximizing this build's potential.

If you prefer the high-difficulty mapping strategy mentioned earlier, prioritize unlocking the node that guarantees a 100% chance of encountering mercenaries.

Next, Contract Killers node allows your mercenaries to deal double damage to enemy mercenaries and Rogue Exiles. Loot and Pillage grants a 10% chance for mercenaries to drop all their equipped gear upon death, while also guaranteeing a minimum drop of two items.

Regarding Rogue Exile-related passives, unlocking Ruckus increases the chance of encountering additional Exiles, significantly boosting both potential rewards and difficulty. Nodes like Exiled Will and Royal Guard further increase the chances of doubled loot and Exile spawns.

If you plan to farm easier, standard maps, you should still prioritize the 100% mercenary encounter rate but also retain Remarkable Relics and Significant Troves to boost Scarab drop rates.

There is no need to invest in high-risk nodes or those focused on currency and unique item yields, as these benefits can be achieved through the use of Scarabs.

This concludes the overview of the common crafting strategy and workflow for Luminary Mercenary build. Feel free to further refine your gear and skills based on your personal preferences and needs!
