Trusted ManualHero Equipment Ores Farming & Spending Guide
The introduction of Hero Equipment shifted the game meta. No longer does your Hero's strength depend solely on their level; their active equipment determines 80% of their actual utility in war.
However, upgrading gear requires Ores, which cannot be purchased with standard Elixir. You must farm them via Star Bonuses and Clan Wars. This guide details how to navigate the infamous Glowy Ore Bottleneck.

1. The Three Ores: Farming Math
Ores are distributed across three distinct tiers:
- Shiny Ore: Easily farmed via daily Star Bonuses. Used for standard levels (1-18).
- Glowy Ore: The absolute progress bottleneck. Required for critical milestone upgrades (Levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27).
- Starry Ore: Extremely rare, sourced primarily from winning Clan Wars and CWL. Required exclusively for Legendary gear.

2. Navigating the Daily Star Bonus
Your daily Star Bonus reward scales dramatically based on your active multiplayer League:
| League | Shiny Ore | Glowy Ore | Starry Ore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | 225 | 12 | 0 |
| Crystal | 350 | 18 | 0 |
| Champion | 525 | 32 | 0 |
| Titan I | 925 | 50 | 0 |
| Legend | 1,000 | 54 | 0 |
Tactical recommendation: Always push and maintain your trophy level in Titan I or Legend League. The difference in Glowy Ore income between Gold and Legend is over 400%, translating to months of saved progression time over a year.

3. High-Value War Strategies
Winning Clan Wars yields up to 4x more Starry Ore than losing.
- Always participate in classic Clan Wars, even if your Heroes are upgrading.
- Prioritize spending Starry Ores on Giant Gauntlet and Frozen Arrow first before leveling common-tier equipment.
