When the Kiln is on the island
The Kiln is region five whenever the Caldera is region four, and never on any other day. In the current 208-island pool that is 104 days; the other 104 end in the Citadel instead. Tropics · Alpine · Caldera and Roots · Mesa · Caldera are tied for most common, 31 days each. Tropics · Mesa and Roots · Alpine follow on 21 days each. The biome rotation page shows which of the coming days end in the Kiln.
What a typical Kiln map holds
The Kiln is a short map, and every marker is luggage.
- Regular luggage: 0 to 8, about 3.4 on average.
- Big luggage: 0 to 7, about 3.3. Two of the 104 days have none.
- Explorer’s luggage on 88 of 104 days, up to 6, about 1.7 on average.
- Clown luggage on 73 of 104 days, up to 3.
- Ancient luggage on 41 of 104 days, up to 3.
Just as useful is what is missing. The Kiln has no Ancient Statue, no amulet and no mimic luggage. Mimic luggage spawns only in the Citadel, so the table never lists one here, and every box you see is a real one.
Which markers are worth a detour
In a vertical shaft every detour is extra climbing, so rank the boxes like this:
- Explorer’s luggage. Its gear pool includes chain launchers, pitons and the Rescue Claw, exactly what the walls above you call for. If a box sits on a rock bridge near your line, take it.
- Clown luggage, if someone is one box short of the Jester badge. It throws six items out when it opens, and in a shaft some of them will fall, so open it on the widest ledge you can find.
- Regular and big luggage for food. The Kiln has no campfire and no natural food, so packaged food from these boxes is the only meal on offer.
- Ancient luggage, carefully. It deals 20 Injury, and the last statue of the run is behind you in the Caldera temple, so only an item such as the Scout Effigy can undo a death here. See how to revive.
Reading the map view
With only ten markers they rarely overlap. Open the location in the 3D map and rotate the camera to check its height and approach. Open 3D map
Stay safe on the climb
From Peak difficulty upward, lava rises from the bottom of the Kiln, so long detours get more dangerous the longer they take. Hot rocks, lava rivers and petrifying stones line the walls. The gear list and the end of the run are in the Caldera and Kiln guide.
