It is best to play this game first before turning to the secrets of higher arts as even on the hardest difficulty the challenge of the game is severely reduced and the more difficult aspects removed.


You will need access to the sweaty jungle biome to collect red mushrooms

access to witchy brewer to trade red mushrooms for powdery magica

a black heart to create black astral branular anomaly

access to salt flats and or access to astral grove (create blue and magenta anomaly)

access to water source (moon gate cave is good)


Step 1 - 40% day collecting red mushrooms (eat other mushrooms to fix hunger)
step 2 - 20% day visit witchy brewer (trade mushroom for magica dust)
step 3 - create as many black anomaly as possible (use anomaly to create more black hearts)
step 4 - 20% day astral grove to change black anomaly to blue/magenta (sunny/odessy)
or 40% day at salt flats, salt is easy to turn into blue anomaly (salt + magica dust)
step 5 - 20% day at water source (use blue anomaly to reset day then refill thirst)
step 6 - gain extra randomised 20% - 40% day by using magenta anomaly to random transport
to biome (is really good when is sweaty jungle as you can go 2x in one day)

As long as you have a blue anomaly (magica dust + salt) the day need never end and you can farm so many anomalys you cant possibly use them all and can change them to what ever colour you need via astral grove or magica dust.

Congratulations you are now a master of the higher arts and have access to near infinite power.
