So lets talk about Palace of the Dead scoring

[Puremallace]

Rarely post here but a question was posed by Fahros a Twitch streamer who runs Palace of Dead with a community of others who focus mainly on that content. How in gods name in this score tabulated?

Since we are not given a detailed point system to determine how to best route PotD I have gathered some data to try and figure this out.

So I took some time to put some data together!!

Not clearing floor 1 (run in die. Get score)
0 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 2,470
1 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 2,570
2 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 3,170
2 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 1 Items - 3,670
3 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 3,270
0 Enemies - 1 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 2,470
1 Enemies - 1 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 2,570
0 Enemies - 2 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 2,470

Clearing floor 1 (run in floor 2 die. Get score)
4 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 8,854
5 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 8,955
5 Enemies - 1 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 8,955
5 Enemies - 2 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 8,955
5 Enemies - 2 Gold Chest - 1 Traps - 0 Items - 8,955


Not clearing floor 51 (run in die. Get score)
0 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 31,970
1 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 32,070
2 Enemies - 0 Gold Chest - 0 Traps - 0 Items - 32,170

Current Conclusions
From the best I can tell each floor has a set base score, items such as potions count towards the score, traps and gold chest do not INITIALLY count toward your total score (theory is possibly every 4 floors?? maybe on 10th floor).

Each enemy is worth atleast 100 points. On floor 1 there is an unexplained jump in points from 1 enemy to 2 enemies that went back to 100 after that.
