Crafting and upgrade materials
Buy a missing Simulacrum from Ace
Ace may sell a Simulacrum, offering a Scrap-based option when a rare Dragon Heart upgrade material is missing.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Buy a missing Simulacrum from Ace
Ace’s materials shop in Ward 13.
Before you go
- Unlock Ward 13’s vendor services.
- Have sufficient Scrap if Ace lists the item.
- Have a Dragon Heart upgrade goal that requires Simulacrum.
Farming steps
- Return to Ward 13 and speak with Ace.
- Open her shop inventory and look for Simulacrum.
- If it is listed, compare its Scrap price with the resources you need for other upgrades.
- Buy it only if the purchase supports your next Dragon Heart improvement.
- Take the material to the Root Mother’s upgrade service when ready.
- If Ace does not stock it, resume Campaign exploration or search relevant world areas for a spawn.
- Recheck Ace’s inventory later rather than assuming the first visit is the only opportunity.
- Vendor availability is not guaranteed; treat the shop check as a quick opportunity, not the whole farm.
- Simulacrum improves Dragon Heart capacity through the Root Mother, so plan the purchase around that use.
Repeat, collect and use
Ace’s stock check can be repeated, but the Simulacrum listing is limited by availability and should not be treated as a guaranteed recurring sale.
Common mistakes
- Budgeting as if Ace always has one: check her actual inventory before planning around a purchase.
- Buying without a current upgrade need: preserve Scrap if the Dragon Heart upgrade is not your priority.
- Confusing the vendor purchase with the upgrade itself: take the Simulacrum to the Root Mother.
When to stop or switch
Stop checking once Ace’s stock is empty for the visit; switch to world exploration or return after further progress.
