This page explains the Demon Wedges item in Duet Night Abyss: what its stats do, how tolerance works, where the gold tracks are, and how crafting factors in.
What Are Demon Wedges?
Demon Wedges are a consumable crafting material in Duet Night Abyss, used primarily to boost gold acquisition during track runs. They are obtained from dismantling demonic equipment, from certain boss drops, or via crafting using lower-tier materials. Each wedge has a base effect that increases gold dropped by enemies on the current track by a percentage, but the exact percentage depends on your tolerance stat.
Unlike regular gold-boost items, Demon Wedges have a stacking mechanic tied to tolerance. The more wedges you use in a single run, the more your tolerance increases, which in turn raises the effectiveness of subsequent wedges. However, tolerance decays over time and resets when you leave the track.
How Tolerance Works
Tolerance is a hidden stat that measures how many Demon Wedges you can use before the effect diminishes. It starts at 0 and increases by 10 for each wedge used. At 100 tolerance, you get the maximum bonus.
Key points about tolerance:
- It resets when you exit the track or after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- It is not shared across tracks; each track has its own tolerance meter.
- Certain gear perks can increase the rate at which tolerance builds (e.g., +5 per wedge instead of +10).
- If you leave the track mid-run, tolerance is lost, so it’s best to farm in long sessions.
Gold Tracks: Where to Use Them
Gold tracks are special repeatable dungeons that reward gold based on the number of enemies killed and the track level. There are 10 levels, each requiring a minimum character level and gear score. Higher levels have tougher enemies but also higher base gold multipliers.
Demon Wedges are most effective on tracks 5 and above, because the base gold is high enough that the percentage boost matters. On lower tracks, the cost of crafting wedges may exceed the extra gold gained.
Crafting Demon Wedges
Demon Wedges can be crafted at any alchemy station using:
- 5x Demon Shard (dropped by elite demons)
- 2x Gold Dust (mined from gold nodes)
- 1x Void Essence (bought from the occult vendor)
Crafting takes 20 seconds per wedge. There is no daily cap on crafting, but the materials are limited by farming time. Many players find that crafting wedges is only worth it if you have a high tolerance build, because otherwise the gold boost is minimal.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
A frequent mistake is using Demon Wedges on a track where you cannot sustain a full tolerance stack. For example, if you only have 10 minutes to farm, you might reach 50 tolerance, but the decay will cut your gains short. Another misconception is that tolerance stacks across tracks – it does not.
Also, some players think the gold boost applies to the entire party. It only applies to the player who used the wedge. If you are in a group, each member needs their own wedges.
Finally, the formula assumes you are actively killing enemies. If you spend time looting or waiting, your effective gold per hour will drop.
How to Choose the Right Track
For example, if track 5 gives 400 gold/hr but takes 15 minutes per run, while track 3 gives 225 gold/hr but takes 8 minutes, track 5 is actually better per minute (400/15 = 26.7 vs 225/8 = 28.1 – track 3 is slightly better).
Also consider the cost of crafting wedges. If each wedge costs 100 gold in materials, and you use 10 per hour, that’s 1000 gold cost. Subtract that from your effective gain.
Safety and Fair Use
There is no real-world safety concern with Demon Wedges, but in-game, be aware that using too many wedges in a short time can cause a temporary debuff called “Demon Overload” that reduces your defense by 20%. This is not covered by the formula, but it affects survivability. Always bring healing items when stacking tolerance above 80.
Also, note that the gold tracks are instanced, so you cannot be ganked, but the debuff can make you die to normal mobs if you are undergeared.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does tolerance reset when I die?
No, tolerance only resets when you leave the track or after 30 minutes of inactivity. Dying does not reset it, but you lose some progress if you respawn outside the track.
Can I use Demon Wedges in the open world?
No, Demon Wedges only work inside gold tracks. In the open world, they have no effect.
What is the max tolerance?
The max tolerance is 100. At 100, you get a 200% multiplier (100 base + 100 tolerance). The formula shows that.
Are Demon Wedges worth crafting early game?
Generally no, because low track levels give low base gold, and the crafting cost is high relative to the gain. Save them for track 5+.
Do Demon Wedges stack with other gold boosts?
Yes, they stack multiplicatively with other gold boosts like the Gold Idol trinket. The formula assumes no other boosts, so your actual gain will be higher.
