What should I farm Ruined City Raid for?

Farm it when Auric Coins, Birb, Black Spirit, or a named raid shop target improves your current unit, familiar, or collection route.

Does Fortune Catalyst solve the Birb route?

Do not assume that. Public raid notes distinguish catalyst behavior from Birb planning, so confirm the target before buying or spending.

Priority targets

Ruined City Raid

Auric Coins

Raid currency for Ruined City shop decisions.

Planning note: Name the shop target before repeat farming.

Ruined City Raid

Birb

Secret familiar with large stat variance.

Planning note: Evaluate the exact roll instead of trusting the familiar name alone.

Ruined City Raid

Black Spirit

Raid shop familiar route for meter-generation units.

Planning note: Weak if the equipped unit does not care about meter uptime.

Route decision flow

Decide whether the target is Birb, Black Spirit, a shop item, or a collection row.
Use the route planner to enter current Auric Coins, target cost, clear rate, and screenshot evidence.
If Birb is the goal, record sample size and final roll; if Black Spirit is the goal, record shop screen and exact price.
Avoid spending raid currency before comparing the familiar with the equipped unit role.

Screenshot evidence checklist

Note whether Fortune Catalyst was used and what item it was meant to affect.

Exact prices, stock, drop timing, and event availability should be updated from the current game screen after major patches.
