For your first NMZ run , a good target is around 150k–200k points. That’s usually enough to buy your first set of overloads and a stack of absorption potions so you can start doing longer, better runs afterward.

Practical target

  • Minimum workable: about 100k points if you just want to get started.
  • Comfortable first-run goal: about 150k–200k points.
  • If your stats are low: expect closer to the lower end, since points come slower early on.

Why that amount

Your first run is usually about building a starter bankroll for NMZ supplies, not maxing efficiency right away. One guide specifically says to aim for about 200,000 points on the first dream, then spend them on overloads and absorptions for the next run. Another guide suggests buying around 24 doses of overloads first and using the rest on absorption potions.

Simple rule of thumb

If you’re asking, “How much should I aim for before I leave my first run?” the safest answer is:

Get at least enough for overloads plus a solid absorption stack, then stop.

A reasonable beginner target is about 200k points.
