How far can you go, surmising that your mist energy is full, you are in a party of 4, and you revive once?
How Far can You Go in the Clockworks without Crystal Energy?

Knowns: * You regenerate 1ME
Knowns:
* You regenerate 1ME every ~13 minutes.
* You will revive once (T1=2 energy, T2=5 energy, T3=10 energy)
* Energy revive costs reset once you reach a subtown
Assumptions:
* Because you regenerate 1ME every ~13 minutes, elevator costs will be closer to 9 energy than 10. My life-time average is 9.14 energy per elevator/join party. (Note: I cherry pick levels by watching gate map so I often regenerate ME while waiting for gates to rotate)
* Exchange rate is 4900 cr
If you start at the arcade and drop into D1, you should be able to make it to D13 (clockworks) with ~6 energy left. In my experience you'll make enough crowns along the way to exchange 4900cr for 100CE and continue your journey. D14-17 should also give you enough crowns to exchange for CE to pay for T3 elevators so really you should be able to take 1 full mist tank and make it all the way to the core as long as you don't die more than once as the revive costs will start to pile up.
If you don't want to use CE at all the furthest you should be able to make it is D13. Keep in mind that once you unlock T2 and T3 you can skip ahead and start at D9 or D19 so you have enough to clear each tier with just ME (even with 1 revive).

All the way, but not in a
All the way, but not in a single day.
Day 1: Start from Haven. Run Tier 1-- six stages plus one revive is 62 Mist.
Day 2: Start from Moorcroft. Run Tier 2-- eight stages plus one revive is 85 Mist.
Day 3: Start from Emberlight. Run Tier 3-- nine stages plus one revive is exactly 100 Mist.
You can also pay 200 Crowns to skip Tier 1 or pay 500 Crowns to skip Tier 2.

On a good day, I could probably go all the way down to Moorcroft Manor with 20 ME left.....Unfortunately, since I don't have the necessary gear to move on, that's pretty much how far I can go.

Since I'm a noob here, I can go about the first level and then flee away 8D

Also bear in mind that
Also bear in mind that unlocking tier 3 is absolutely (...okay, you could technically wait for a full 4* set to drop from treasure boxes, but realistically that's not happening) impossible without using CE, so actually the furthest is emberlight.
One run. A little more if you're in T1.
If you're not running on CE, you're not running at all.
