Don't buy every sphere tier

Skip Poor Sphere entirely and only buy one sphere tier ahead of your current level range.

Don't rush Musket

Musket is a trap between Bow and Handgun — its DPS is worse than a starred Bow with Flame Arrows.

Don't unlock decor Ancient tech

Every Ancient point spent on cosmetic structures is a point off Legendary Sphere or Condenser. Respec at the statue if you already did.
