==Earnings per Level==

Forge, Grim, and Primal Sparks are worth at least 100 crowns each, because 100 sparks can be traded for a 5-star [[trinket]] that can be [[vendor]]ed for 10,000 crowns. Similarly, three boss tokens are worth at least 225, 700, 525, or 3,000 crowns, depending on the boss. By incorporating the value of tokens like this, we get a better idea of the total earnings of a mission. Dividing the total earnings by the number of levels gives us an idea of the overall crown-earning efficiency of the mission. The following table summarizes the average earnings per level computed in this way.
* Name, Rank, Lv: Name, rank, and number of fighting levels.
* Data: The number of data for each difficulty level: Normal, Advanced, Elite. More data mean that the estimated average is more reliable. For the sake of tidiness, the table does not include confidence intervals.
* Normal, Advanced, Elite: Average earnings per level, on each difficulty level.
By the way, selling boss furniture materials to players may be more lucrative than selling boss reward items to vendors. Also, vendoring [[Perfect Mask of Seerus]] increases the earnings of Operation Crimson Hammer by 1667 crowns per level (ignoring the cost of Eternal Orbs and materials).

==Does Difficulty Affect Crowns?==

[[File:Difficulty.png|right]]

Difficulty affects crown payouts. To see how, examine the plot at right. Each dot represents a mission on Normal (black) or Advanced (gray) difficulty. Low-rank missions are toward the left, while high-rank missions are to the right. The ''y''-coordinate of the dot is the mission's average payout, compared to its Elite version.

The black dots cluster about the line ''y'' = 0.67, suggesting that Normal payouts are 33% less than Elite payouts. The gray dots cluster about ''y'' = 0.84, suggesting that Advanced payouts are 16% less than Elite payouts.

==Does Party Size Affect Crowns?==

[[File:Partysize.png|left]]

Party size does not appear to affect crown payouts. To see so, examine the plot at left. Each dot is a non-solo mission run. The ''x''-axis is party size. Fractional party sizes arise from knights entering and leaving parties. The ''y''-axis is the run's crown payout, compared to the average solo payout for the same mission on the same difficulty.

The fact that the dots are scattered about the line ''y'' = 1 suggests that all party sizes produce about the same crown payouts. (The best-fit line is actually ''y'' = 1.025 - 0.011 ''x''.)

==Classic Crowns==

Prior to {{release|2013-07-30}}, there was only one difficulty level, which we now call Classic. Between April and July of 2013, we collected at least 5 crown measurements from almost every fighting mission. Without showing all of these data, here are two key conclusions from the Classic era.

First, Advanced payouts are within 2% of Classic payouts. The difference is not statistically significant.

Second, during the Classic era accessing a fighting level of the Clockworks cost 10 energy. A natural question to ask was: "Do 10 levels of this mission earn enough to buy 100 energy? Is the mission self-funding?" The table below shows some benchmark energy prices, from 5000 to 9500. For each price, the table shows how many Classic missions were self-funding at that price. As you can see, the King of Ashes was not the only profitable mission in the game.

==Time?==

Many players are interested in crowns per minute. However, we do not collect time data, because they would vary so much from player to player. Anecdotally, there seem to be two highly profitable strategies:
* Speed-run the King of Ashes to get the Almirian Seals and treasure boxes. When you have enough Seals, sell [[Dark Ember]] or vendor [[Ancient Plate Helm]].
* Speed-run Operation Crimson Hammer to get the [[Perfect Seerus Mask Fragment]] and the treasure boxes. After three runs, vendor [[Perfect Mask of Seerus]].
