If you’ve pulled Topaz and Numby, the Interastral Peace Corporation’s elite agent, most Trailblazers immediately think of her unbeatable treasure hunting talent. Watching the cute Warp Trotter Numby bounce around the map leading you to one hidden loot chest after another is undeniably satisfying. But once you’ve cleared every overworld chest, do most players bench Topaz and let her treasure hunting Technique collect dust in storage? Veteran players will tell you that’s just the end of the beginner experience phase. In reality, Numby is far more valuable than that: he’s an all-in-one exploration tool that combines auto-clearing, precise enemy tracking, and puzzle assistance. This guide breaks down Numby’s three advanced tricks to help you re-discover this time and energy saving workhorse.
Auto-Navigation: Clears Breakable Objects, Piles Up Free Credits
Once you’ve explored every corner of the galaxy and are sure you’ve collected every chest, cast Topaz’s Technique again and you’ll likely be shocked to find Numby still sprints forward excitedly. This time, his target isn’t chests—it’s breakable objects scattered across the map that you’ve probably never noticed. From stacks of cargo crates lining the streets of Xianzhou Luofu to trash cans tucked in the corners of Belobog’s Administrative District, smashing these objects drops small amounts of credits or crafting materials. The payout per object is small, but it adds up over time into a pretty sizable chunk of resources. Most players only focus on their route and enemies when exploring, so these hidden “mini treasure chests” in blind spots easily get overlooked.
That’s exactly where Numby’s strength shines—he acts as a fully automatic vacuum for resources. In areas with no more chests left to track, his AI automatically locks onto every breakable object within range. Take the Artisanship Commission on Xianzhou Luofu as an example: this map has a complex layout with tons of branching paths and is covered in breakable ceramic jars. Searching for and smashing every one by hand is not only time-consuming and tiring, it’s also extremely easy to miss a few. But if you bring Topaz, you just cast her Technique once at the entrance of each area, then follow Numby’s route around, and you can collect every last hidden credit and material with zero misses. The process is almost fully automatic, turning the boring chore of looting stray objects into a high-efficiency resource grind.
So even if you’re a veteran Trailblazer who has collected every chest in the game, getting into the habit of using Topaz’s Technique when you log in to spend your daily stamina lets you maximize your map resource utilization and pocket all the loose change you left behind.
Precise Enemy Tracking: Locks Onto Material Enemies, No More Getting Lost
Character building is the sweet burden of every Trailblazer, and farming ascension materials is a daily routine. Have you ever ever tried to farm a specific material, cross-referencing a monster spawn map on your phone, and still gotten lost wandering a huge map? Topaz and Numby’s second amazing trick is their precise material enemy navigation system. When you’re in an area with no chests or breakable objects left, Numby’s tracking priority automatically switches to enemy units, which includes all your daily farming targets.
This feature gives you a massive efficiency boost when you’re farming specific targets. Let’s say you need to farm Mechanical Parts for your newly pulled character, and your target is the Auto-Spider Mechs on Herta Space Station. The traditional method is to teleport to a specific anchor, clear enemies along a memorized route, and your efficiency depends entirely on how well you know the map. But with Topaz, everything becomes simple: teleport in, cast the Technique, and Numby immediately marks the location of the nearest group of Auto-Mechs. All you have to do is follow his lead straight to the target. After you clear the group, recast the Technique and Numby leads you right to the next spawn point. This dynamic navigation completely eliminates the pressure of memorizing map layouts, turning aimless resource farming into a high-efficiency search-and-destroy mission.
Even more impressive, this tracking feature also works on rare Warp Trotters. When you hear that familiar unique sound effect on the map but can’t find the Warp Trotter anywhere, don’t panic—let Numby take over, he’ll lead you straight to that escape-ready Warp Trotter every time. This skill completely changes the daily resource grinding experience, making sure every point of stamina you spend is used effectively.
Hidden Easter Egg Helper: Unexpected Assistance For Puzzles And Quests
Numby’s tracking logic can sometimes pull off unexpected surprises, which is his third and most easily overlooked trick: acting as an unexpected assistant for puzzles and exploration. When developers designed Numby’s AI, they gave it the ability to track important interactable points in the game world. While most of the time this targets chests, enemies, or breakable objects, in some special scenarios it will lock onto non-typical targets: hidden quest trigger items, hard-to-spot mechanism switches, even key components for puzzle challenges.
For a real example, on some of the dream maps in Penacony, Trailblazers need to find and activate hidden Dreamflux Levers tucked in walls or decorations to unlock new paths. When you’ve been wandering for ages, you have eye strain, and you just can’t find that last switch, try casting Topaz’s Technique. You’ll likely find that Numby doesn’t run toward distant enemies—he stops right next to an unassuming mural or model in front of you and marks it. Head over to investigate, and you’ll almost always find the interactable point that was blocking your progress. This isn’t a 100% reliable feature, but it’s like a friend that slips you a hint when you’re completely stuck.
Numby also comes in handy during adventure quests that require you to find a specific item. When the quest tells you to search for a clue within a general area, cast the Technique, and Numby will sometimes lead you straight to the key investigation point. This sixth sense-like guidance isn’t an intentional core feature, but it has saved Trailblazers tons of time and energy during countless stuck moments, making it one of the best hidden easter eggs in exploration.
All in all, Numby’s tracking ability has a surprising level of versatility that lets it go beyond simple resource navigation and become a source of inspiration when you’re exploring the unknown.
Build An Efficient Exploration Team: How To Maximize Numby’s Value
Once you’ve learned Numby’s three core tricks, the next step is figuring out how to get the most out of his value. Topaz alone can find targets, but you still need to spend time clearing them, so efficiency doesn’t hit its peak. True exploration experts build a dedicated daily clearing team around Topaz, combining exploration, movement speed, and clearing power to automate the whole process. The core idea of this team is to use other characters’ Techniques to complement Topaz’s treasure hunting ability, creating a 1+1 > 2 effect.
A highly efficient exploration team setup looks like this: Topaz (core navigation) + movement speed boost character (like Kafka or Blade) + wide-area clear character (like Jing Yuan or Argenti). Kafka or Blade’s Technique lets you quickly reach the target Numby marks, drastically cutting down travel time. When Numby leads you to a group of material enemies, Jing Yuan or Argenti’s Technique can clear the entire pack instantly, skipping the need to load into a battle screen. The whole process flows seamlessly: teleport to anchor → cast speed boost Technique → cast Numby tracking → follow his lead → cast clear Technique → pick up loot, then repeat the cycle. The entire process almost never requires manual combat, which massively boosts efficiency for daily quests and resource collection.
This team comp lets Topaz’s value be fully released, and turns the repetitive daily resource grind into a satisfying, high-efficiency experience. You’re no longer just a traveler wandering the map—you’re the commander of a high-tech exploration squad. So stop viewing Topaz as just an AoE Fire DPS. Her unique Technique mechanic makes her an irreplaceable “Efficiency Director” on your roster.
To summarize, the true power of Topaz and Numby goes far beyond simple treasure hunting. He’s your personal financial assistant, scraping up every forgotten credit off the map; he’s your custom GPS, pinpointing exactly the material enemy you need; he can even turn into a source of inspiration every once in a while, giving you unexpected hints when you’re stuck on a puzzle. If you add Topaz to your daily exploration team and build an efficient support setup around her, you’ll find that the time and energy you save every day are far more valuable than any loot she helps you find. This elite agent from the Interastral Peace Corporation proves the truth of the saying “time is money.”
- Take Action Now: Add Topaz to your team right now, head to an old map you think you’ve 100% explored (like Belobog’s Administrative District), cast her Technique, and see how many hidden “mini treasure chests” Numby finds that you missed.
- Build The Habit: Before you run your weekly Echo of War challenges, use Topaz’s Technique to clear all enemies and breakable objects around the challenge area. It only takes an extra minute, but it consistently adds to your material and credit income every week.
- Optimize Your Team: Build your own “Golden Exploration Team.” Pair Topaz with a character that has a movement-focused Technique (like Pela or Kafka) and a character with an attack-focused Technique (like Jing Yuan or Argenti), and make this team your fixed go-to for daily map clearing every time you log in.
