Mana and upgrades
Upgrade elemental damage to sell value
This is a conditional mana conversion tactic for a weapon whose sale return can justify its upgrade cost.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Upgrade elemental damage to sell value
Tavern weapon upgrade screen and forge selling interface.
Before you go
- Have a weapon with elemental damage that no hero needs.
- Have mana available for a limited upgrade test.
- Be able to compare upgrade cost with the weapon’s displayed sale value.
Farming steps
- Review an unwanted weapon and confirm it is not an upgrade or planned equipment for any hero.
- Inspect its elemental damage and current sale value in the Tavern interface.
- Open the weapon upgrade screen and note the cost of the intended investment.
- Apply an upgrade only if the displayed cost and likely resale return make the trial worthwhile.
- Recheck the weapon’s sale value after upgrading rather than assuming the return changed favorably.
- Sell the weapon only when the return exceeds the mana invested and the item remains surplus.
- Keep the proceeds for a useful upgrade or defense setup.
- Test with one expendable weapon before considering this approach on more items.
- If the interface does not make the economics clear, sell the item without upgrading it.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat only for individual surplus weapons when the value comparison is favorable; this is not a dependable unlimited-profit farm.
Common mistakes
- Investing in equipment a hero needs: check every build and hero before selling.
- Assuming elemental upgrades always increase net proceeds: compare actual cost and sale value.
- Upgrading several items without a trial: evaluate one item at a time.
When to stop or switch
Stop this tactic as soon as the expected sale return fails to exceed cost; use ordinary loot sales instead.
