Spending points the moment you get them

Impulse unlocks strand you short of points when a genuinely important structure appears. Keep a small reserve.

Skipping the workbench for flashier picks

The ancient workbench gates recipes the rest of the tree assumes you have; delaying it delays everything.

Farming points as a dedicated grind

Points flow fastest as a by-product of bosses and dungeons you should be running anyway. Pure point farming burns hours for little.

Ignoring the ordinary tree

Ancient Technology complements the normal tree rather than replacing it; weak basics undermine expensive ancient unlocks.
