Maximize coins
Dead simple:
- Regular exploration only.
- Collect on Floor 3+.
- On that floor, take the item instead of the coins only if you'd buy it from the shop and the shop charges more per item than the floor's coin value. Otherwise take coins.

Massive thank you to pcb and Snowy!!! Modeling this one was rough...

Notes
The devs pulled off something impressive with the changes to Wander Theater: they made it look better for F2P after last time's outrage while quietly nerfing it for P2P. The event is now entirely goal-dependent, so I'll cover the two most requested approaches.
Maximize sigils
This gets complex fast, since the true optimal depends on which floors show sigils. With help from others, we zeroed in on an “easy” version that lands within approximately 99% of optimal.
Check the top floor—Floor 7 on normal, or Floor 8 in Astral:
Top floor has sigil reward → On each sigil floor, check if there are any floors with more than double your current floor's sigil reward. If there are, keep using protected advancement. If not, claim sigils.
Top doesn't have sigils → explore free; collect the first sigil you land on. Don't pay to climb.
No sigils → explore free and collect on Floor 3+ for coins.
Wonder Adventure Pack scenarios
Expected exploration return uses 1,001.44 coins per 5 Talismans of Ice. Milestone coins are added when the scenario reaches each threshold. Select a row to use its net $/coin rate in the comparisons below; that rate credits the gems and resource chests using your current valuations.

Floor reward comparison
Each reward cell shows its equivalent Bazaar coin value against that floor's coin option. Green cells cost more in the Bazaar; red cells cost less. Floors 1–2 are omitted because players should not select those floor rewards.
TLDR: If you plan to buy the item from the Bazaar, you are better off choosing it as a floor reward if it is green in the table below.
