Optimal resource gathering

In this page I will consider converting materials or equipment to other materials as part of an optimal resource gathering cycle for you to be able to have a smoother curve when progressing through the game.

It should be said that gold many times feel under control but you will end up constantly finding you need just a bit more. This goes for many resources. Therefor it is vital to squeeze out the most of each way to gather resources during the game. Lucky enough I have created a daily cycle below. You don't have to check each one off the list in the same order as they are listed.

#### Mandatory/requirement

##### Inventory space/slots

To be fluid in your daily farming to become the next strongest out there you really need to increase the size of your inventory. You do this by pressing the bag icon on the lower bar. In the lower left corner will be a plus button. Press that. Each increase cost 100 rubys and cost will not scale with each increase.

##### Increase Gold & EXP Potion

This item will give you 3 hours of 100% increase in gold and exp potion drops. If you can't have it up and running often then have it as mandatory to use it often during weekends. That way you combine the weekend buffs with this potion for a really high increase in gold.

The potion can be bought with company card game currency from the Dragon Mountain Shopping District and the Company Card Shop.

##### Shop

In your lower bar there is a shop tab. (This is not to be compared to the package tab where all purchases are for real money)

In the shop there are several tabs. The most important one is the Free tab. Here rewards will come on a constant basis throughout the day and recycle with a new cooldown timer until you can pick up the next same reward.

The most important one here is the **Free stat enhancement**. This is a buff lasting from 6 min up to 30 min depending on if you choose the instant option or the watch an ad option. All stats will increase by 30% during this buff on all heroes in your team.

### Part of the daily cycle

#### Todays Tasks

On your top bar you'll find today's tasks. It contains daily missions for you to complete and cover most of the daily farming/questing you should do.

#### Normal quests - Quest NPC

Every day you can do a set amount of normal quests (up 30 quests)and get a reward from them. Every day you can collect a full quest list from one of the towns quest NPC. You finish those off and go back to either the same or another towns quest npc and repeat the process until you can't turn in any more.

In the beginning it will be mostly exp and quest coins as a reward but soon enough you will be able to get a bigger variety of rewards at higher levels. When you reach rewards that give at least 15-20 hero cards of a hero you need it can be good to make sure to repeat those quests in the rotation. However don't hinder your progress on higher level content since you'll later find another quest giving even more of that same hero.

#### Event

Again in your top bar you'll find Event. This consists of three tabs. Newcomer tab is a passive reward ladder you'll end up completing sooner or later, so no rush. Special tab will list events that will only be available over a set amount of time. Always tab are several reward ladders for example creating a certain amount of equipment in a row.

BUT there is also a very noteable event that could be easy to miss, **Mabupoly**. Mabupoly is a mini game of a digital board game much similar to popular Monopoly board game. Here you use the resource 'dice' to spend for a roll on the dice to see how many steps you will take. Each step contain either a specific reward or a trap. Traps examples are, can't move until a specific throw of the dice or pay a fine.

Dices can be collected through 'overtime pay'.

Neither of these tabs but the Special tab is a must do daily for optimal resource gathering however by waiting in the moment when you can craft an amount to get extra rewards from the Always tab will net you a lot more rewards than otherwise. Also if not daily then at least weekly you should roll dices in Mabupoly. It will reward you with a bit of extra more rare resources and gold.

#### Company

##### Company Task

Company is the equivalent of a guild or a clan in other games. Company tasks can be found in either Company tab in top bar (if you've joined a company) or by pressing the Missions in the lower bar, choosing Company tasks and Get Company tasks. Most companys will want you to do three 'premium daily tasks'. I'd recommend taking carrot, egg and artifact premium tasks. It is worth it for you in the end to buy with rubys the extra two runs anyway and part of the optimal daily cycle.

Company tasks reward you with chests, exp and company resources.

##### Company Raid

To have a company that run company raids on daily basis and you participating in those, is an important key to have a positive progression.

##### Company competition

This is the company pvp game mode. The rewards are really good in the top and rewards are resources to create artifact chests or monster chests. Both are considered as a rare and important part of getting strong heroes.

#### The map

When opening up the map you will beside the map also find a new bar with buttons to press. These buttons is an easy way to find most of the unique places on the map. Like many described down below.

##### Pet Growth Site

In this zone you will find the Carrot Farm, the Egg Farm and a testing ground. The testing ground can be interesting for those that enjoy number crunching or to test without any costs a bit higher levels.

###### Carrot Farm

This is where you get all your carrots to upgrade your pets skills. It will look easy to afford skills upgrades in the very beginning but soon after you understand how vital this farm is. It also has a ranking ladder where you could get even more carrots and even the very rare Thumbs Up coins.

###### Egg Farm

This is where you get more copies of the pet you choose. Without more copies you can't evolve your pets and their skills will be low and less impactful. Pet skills are very strong buffs.

Same as for carrot farm the egg farm offer a ranking ladder with rewards of specific pet copies and Thumbs Up coins.

#### Genome Tower

In the Genome Tower you fight to clear stages to fight even more difficult stages. But also more rewarding. Around difficulty 3 the Genome Tower will be play a major part of your gold income but it is of course also important to get more monster chests and materials. Try to make sure you do each try offered every day, even the extra for rubies.

#### Artifact Summoner

Each week offer a new set of stages in Artifact Summoner. Every day offer a set of stages that increase substantially in difficuly for each stage. Rewards are gold and blocks. The blocks are very important due to them being the ingredient to create artifact chests. Many artifacts are extremely powerful and valuable later in the game thus making this mandatory to clear as far as you can each day.

#### Contaminated Lab

The Contaminated Lab offer you five different choices of boss stages to battle. Every day a task from Today's Tasks will offer you to complete a practice run. It costs nothing and you do not have to rank a certain score to claim the rewards.

This will come to be very important much later in the game. Rewards are chests and vaccine shards. The game mode also has a ranking ladder to get even more rewards. The materials you use to craft 5 and 6\* equipment. You will have to craft a lot of equipment to start upgrading your chosen equipment.

#### Mabumon Park

In this tower defense game mode you enter an arena consisting of three lanes. On one side your ai opponent has his three towers and the other is yours. Your goal is to fill the lanes with your own preset list of monsters to destroy the opponent's towers while at the same try to protect your own towers from being destroyed. The rewards are resources to craft even more monster chests. You'll need them all, if not just to upgrade them but to get the once you desire. The monsters will also be used together with your team composition in other game content. Therfore having good monsters is vital.

The game mode offer up to 21 stages of difficulties. It will not be an easy task to get max points in this game mode in the beginning but will become easier over time when you have more monsters to choose from and enough to upgrade some of them.

Each monster except for having two versions of itself also has a set tier, ranges from C, B, A, S and SS where C is the lowest tier and SS is the highest.

The higher the tier the higher base stats it has but it also cost a lot more to summon on the board. Your goal is to set a deck list containing a bit from high to low.

You set up a list of 5 monsters and each has its cost to summon on the board as well as cooldown timer before it is refreshed and can be summoned once more. There is no limit to the amount of monsters you can summon.

#### Optimal Lineup

A very solid lineup can consist of;

* One 'S' monster with aoe (area of effect) damage
* 3x 'A' monster with knockback skill
* One 'C' monster with range attack and bleed

Strategy with above lineup;

1. Summon an 'S' monster in the middle lane
2. Summon an A monster then a C monster in the top lane
3. Summon an A monster then a C monster in the bottomlane
4. Summon an A monster then a C monster in the middle lane
5. repeat each step

##### Noteable information

* There are named and regular monsters. Regular monsters have lower stats than a named monster version of that same monster. The named monsters are cheaper to summon on the game board and have much higher base stats than the regular type. Try to always have a set deck list consisting of named monsters. Examples of the different versions are: Normal/Named: Merciless Desert Troll/King of Boss, Strong Flame Golem/Destroyer

#### Dungeons

The map is divided up in different zones and you will visit all while following along the main quest line. Most zones will have one or several dungeons for you to explore and clear. Each dungeon has a preset of which monster is within as well as the level on expected monster boss and level range of groups of monster you will encounter.

Each dungeon offer different possible rewards but will always consist of at least exp, gold and equipment. The higher levels have low chances to drop really good equipment and quite high rewards in general. It is advised that you at bare minimum do all daily free attempts but at higher levels it is well worth spending some rubies for extra laps.

Every day you get 5 free entries + 1 Ad entry, with every entry after those costing gems. The cost of each gem entries is 50\*(n+1), where n is the number of gem entries you have already done. It is unknown if there is a maximum number of gem entries you can do per day.

#### Main quest line

Yes it may sound strange that the main quest line is part of the optimal resource gathering cycle but in fact each quest give out a generous amount of gold and exp that it is more or less needed to do to sustain the amounts of gold you will need to upgrade your team.

#### Shops in town

Some shops in town consist of the daily farming cycle. However in the beginning some of these guides will not be possible or even worse will reduce the speed of which to take you to around mid game (tiles with level 360 monsters).

##### Combined Shop

The shop offer three different tabs. Card tab, Equipment tab and Other tab. All tabs are important tabs to visit often to stay on top of resources in preparation for end game.

***Card tab*** offer you 30 card bundles to purchase for gold during a set timer. After that it refreshes the board automatically with 30 new card bundles. Each bundle consist of a number of copies of one specific hero.

To continue upgrade your heroes in your team you will need hero copies of other heroes. But there are also need of many different hero copies in other important game content that this shop is one of the most important daily shops to stop by.

When able buy out all hero bundles every time. Make sure you use all refreshes and buy all of those hero copies as well. You'll need them.

***Equipment tab*** offer you 30 different equipment to purchase for gold. The tier ranges from 3 to 4\*. The 4\*s with a small purple anvil icon in the image are the ones to buy. They can be upgraded further beyond 5\* and becomes vital to be able to upgrade your teams equipment.

***Other tab*** offer you 30 options to purchase containing a set amount of either Rare EQPT Chest, EQPT Enhance Scroll or EXP potion. Further in the game you will want to start buy all options that can be bought by gold. In the beginning and on you want to buy all the Rare EQPT Chests.

##### Alchemist Shop

This shop offer three different tabs. Card tab, Materials tab and Mabumon tab. Each tab will let you use a set amount of your resources to turn into another set resource.

***Card tab*** will let you choose any hero you already own to turn into another hero that you already own of your choice. This is vital to get enough copies of certain heroes.

***Materials tab*** will let you choose one of your materials to be rerolled into another material of your choice.

***Mabumon tab*** will let you reroll a set amount of mabumon cards of one monster to turn them into a random new monster in the next higher tier.

#### The Pub or Pub NPC

When in town in your lower left corner you will find the Pub NPC. Clicking this npc will let you enter the pub. Here you can find a few different npc you can interact with.

***Pub, or Master Nari*** will let you check in each day to gain pub exp. Each level of the pub will increase one or more of below points;

* Increase number of customers (correlates to which level your pub is)
* Increase card exchange
* Faster equipment acquisition (lower the set time you have to wait until you can collect a new 5\* equipment of your choice)
* Buff effect time increase (increases the time of the Item drop chance buff

The pub also has another tab, Pub Sales. Here you can collect random hero cards daily.

***List, or Guest Book Customer*** will let you run specific tile lap runs to unlock more customers to the pub. They also affect how many cards you will recieve from Pub Sales.

***Free, or Equipment Dragon Lady*** will let you choose any 5\* equipment you want and wait out a timer until you can come back to collect it and choose another to repeat the cycle. You can also stop by daily to lower the waiting time by clicking the watch ad button.

***Card Evergreen*** offer you five different tabs each resembling all the different hero classes in the game; Melee dealer (damage), Tank, Healer, Magician and Ranged DPS. Each tab will let you choose any hero of your choice within that hero class and turn it into another hero of your choice within that class.

***Buff Box Cat*** will let you stop by daily to get a 100% increase in item drop chance that last 30 min. This isn't a very long time so make it count. Pair it with dungeon runs as an example.
