Heirlooms are the currency of permanent upgrades — Blacksmith, Guild, and Sanitarium all run on them. Farming them steadily keeps the whole town improving.
Why this matters
Every permanent upgrade costs heirlooms. A steady heirloom income is what turns a struggling roster into a strong one.
Step-by-step
- Send parties on long dungeons for better heirloom drops.
- Prioritize curio that reward heirlooms.
- Clear dungeons fully rather than retreating early.
- Boss kills reward the best heirloom types.
- Balance heirloom spending across town buildings.
- Save rare heirloom types for the upgrades you need.
- Re-run dungeons whose curio pay what you lack.
Tips
- Long dungeons pay more heirlooms
- Curio are a major heirloom source
- Bosses drop the rarest types
- Spend steadily — hoarding wastes them
Common mistakes
- Only running short dungeons
- Spending rare heirlooms on minor upgrades
- Ignoring curio for heirlooms
- Retreating before the payout rooms
Practical notes
Run short missions in the Ruins for steady heirloom drops, and spend them on the buildings you use most. Hoarding wastes runs. Prioritize the Stage Coach and the Sanitarium first. A bigger roster recovers from deaths faster. Run the Ruins repeatedly for steady heirloom income. Consistency beats a lucky long run.
Hoarding heirlooms wastes runs, because the buildings they buy are what make your roster stronger. Prioritize the Stage Coach and the Sanitarium first, since a bigger roster and cleaner heroes recover from losses faster. Consistency in short Ruins runs beats the occasional lucky long haul.
