What Resources Are Used for in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising
Upgrade materials are essential whether you are using them to build the town out or to improve the offensive and defensive equipment available to the party. By gathering enough of these materials, you can head to the various vendors on Outlander Lane, Second Street, and the Rune Quarter to make full use of them.
Together with the required Baqua, the party’s weapons and armor can be upgraded to more advanced levels. The same goes for the tools required to get rarer resources, and of course, to further upgrade the various buildings that can open the way to even more benefits like stat-boosting meals or status-enhancing baths.
That is all the key information on how to get the all upgrade materials and what they are used for in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising.
