You can kill it. Congratulations. Now ask whether it is a good use of stamina. The monster’s level is not a financial qualification.
Ymir: bigger reward, different value
Published baseline comparison for levels 3–5 only. These are community-guide figures, not a live game feed. Check your current chest contents and displayed stamina cost before applying them.
| Ymir level | Base stamina | Resources per kill | Resources per stamina |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 30 | 8.0M | 266667 |
| 4 | 40 | 8.8M | 220000 |
| 5 | 40 | 10.0M | 250000 |
Emotional ownership is not included in the calculation.
Totals combine food, lumber, stone, and ore. Each contributes an equal share in these listed chests. M means million; per-stamina figures are rounded. Materials, speedups, event points, and other drops are excluded.
Level 3 wins this resource-per-stamina comparison. Level 5 gives more per kill and uses fewer hunts. Level 4 has not committed a crime. It simply needs a reason beyond being larger.
Choose the limit that actually matters
- Short on stamina? Favor useful rewards per stamina actually spent.
- Short on playing time? Compare useful rewards per hour, including rally waits and travel. A nearby larger target may beat searching for smaller ones.
- Short on food? Compare food, not the combined resource total. Ore cannot negotiate with your next building.
- Chasing an event reward or specific drop? Count that value separately. The resource table does not rank those rewards.
Compare your receipts, not one lucky report
Use several comparable hunts. Divide the useful rewards you actually received by the stamina actually deducted. Keep double-drop and stamina-reduction setups comparable. Do not apply a bonus again if it is already included in your recorded rewards or cost.
Subtract healing resources from the same resource category. Track healing speedups separately. If both marches return clean, the decision is about reward efficiency and time, not sending fewer troops.
Published resource baselines: Theria Games boss comparison and One Chilled Gamer event-monster chests. These guides differ on some other rewards, so this comparison uses only their matching basic-resource totals. It is not an overall ranking of every Ymir level or monster family.
