Base Building & Gear — Don't Waste an Ore
HQ prerequisites, gear leveling priorities, and the decoration tier list.
Last updated 4/17/2026
This guide bundles the three things rookies most often burn resources on: pushing HQ without meeting prerequisites, leveling Epic gear, and placing random decorations. Getting these right saves weeks of grind.
Every HQ level requires 1–2 prerequisite building levels. Before you start an HQ upgrade, check both conditions are met — the game will not tell you what is missing until you hit the wall.
For gear, rank matters far more than level. A freshly-equipped Legendary often beats a fully-leveled Epic of the same slot.
Prioritize Legendary + Mythic gear levels. The right-hand side shows the level ceiling per rank — anything above that is unreachable.
Decorations are the cheapest stat bump in the game, but only for the right ones. Focus on damage reduction + attack first; the rest is bling.
S-tier: damage reduction + attack. A-tier: crit + skill bonuses. Below that is filler. Slot S-tier decorations first.
