Ore grinding is a bit too much

[Mad]

I have a level 8 paladin atm, and only just unlocked tier 3 town (and still missing quite some tier2 upgrades).

I feel the fastest way to find ore is going very fast trough the mines. I can now pull the entire floor to me and kill everything (or just run and don't kill anything) but i rarely find more than 3-4 ores. I need 30 to unlock the next tier skil, and i feel like it's too hard after the second boss, without a new skill.

Is there any faster way to grind ore? (Spending 1500 gold per ore is not fast)

You can upgrade the ore trader and once you can get to the third or fourth chapter you will be getting 20-40 ores

Got tier 3 town but didn't update ore trader at all? tsk tsk. The cost goes down so if you rush his upgrades you can just spend some of the 3-4k gold you should be pulling a run once your past the second boss.

Protip: buy the fountain asap. Some of it's blessings give you a TON of ore during runs (really wish once you got in the dungeon you could see what blessings you got). I've deposited +50 before.

I'm having the same experience. Once I got to area 3, it's like I hit a brick wall. Progression has become so slow. I'm not strong enough yet to farm area 3 reliably, but the ore I get from areas 1 and 2 is just not enough for the next tier upgrades. Not to mention the steep diminishing returns on exp from there. I also find it annoying that I get no gold or ore for doing the warp portals -
makes it feel like a bit of a waste of time seeing as those are the only things I really care about to progress.

What I did was use other characters. Did you know that each class provides a small bonus to all your characters based on what tier of boss they have beaten? Level other characters, get their bonuses. All characters will be better and you wont have that stuck feeling.

The game will end for you when you unlock everything.

Don't ask for it to go faster. Slow down and enjoy the journey.

If you don't feel you are on a journey because you are too goal-oriented, then you need to change your position on playing in general.

Play the game for what it is. Just play around.

Progress will come; don't make it the focus.

Also because getting levels/beating bosses with each class gives lots of achievements it will also level up your guild really fast too.

What's the point of guild lvl btw?

Each level gives 3 skill points to ALL characters, both current ones and any new ones you will create in the future. You also get some gold and ore each time guild levels up as well IIRC.

Thanks! That would explain why I've got so much stars suddenly and my taxes went suddenly through the roof during a run.

It's 1000 gold for lvl3 Ore Trader. Also, it appears than the larger your party is, the more ore you will get within the same level.

Anyway, RNG is making miracles in this game some time: I usually find from 3 to 12 Ore in Mines within the party of two and from 5 to 14 with the party of three, so, from my personal experience, it's a chanceplay as well.

Anyway, there is a plenty of Ore on the Casttle leve. You should really try it

[Misfit]

just keep playing, in act 5 you get loads of ore. if your lucky and get a pickaxe on the way you will drown in ore.

There is 7 classes and NG+ modes, game will not end when you have fully upgraded town.
