How to Farm Resources

It is essential in Loop Hero that you acquire as many resources as possible in order to help your progress in the game. Resources will allow you to create new buildings at your main base which will then enable you to unlock new cards for your deck. The more cards you have in your deck the more combos you will be able to create to use in battles against higher tier enemies to get even better resources.

There are 13 different resource types in Loop Hero, and it is necessary that you acquire each of them as they are all have different functions within the game. Each of the resources are also acquired a different way, this can either be by defeating a specific enemy or by making it appear in the game by creating a certain tile combination. When gathering resources you should gear your deck towards farming one or two different resources instead of trying to collect everything at once. Make sure you get a supply of health potions from the Herbalist's Hut before you embark on an expedition to farm resources. Remember also that you can use the Treasury card to obtain a random assortment of basic resources which is useful for farming several types at a time. Listed below are all 13 types of resources that are in Loop Hero and how to obtain them.

Food Supply:

Made by earning 12 Rations. Rations are earned each time a Meadow tile is placed on the level. The easiest way to farm Rations is by placing a Meadows card somewhere on the loop to acquire a small number of them. As soon as they hit 12 these Rations are then converted into Food Supplies. Complete Food Supplies can also be earned by placing Battlefield cards and defeating enemies.

Stable Wood:

Made by earning 12 Stable Branches. Stable Branches are earned by passing through Grove tiles. To farm Stable Wood you need to place as many Groves as possible on your loop, and every time you pass through one they will earn a Branch.

Preserved Rock:

Made by earning 10 Preserved Pebbles. You can earn a large number of Perserved Pebbles by creating a Mountain Peak using a 3x3 grid of Mountains or Rocks. Preserved Pebbles can also be earned by passing through a Cemetery tile.

Stable Metal:

Made by earning 13 Scrap Metal. Scrap Metal is earned by gather excess weapons and armor and overfilling your inventory. Scrap Metal can also be earned by placing Meadow and Rock cards around a Treasury. Farm Stable Metal by placing several Battlefields together to create a Bloody Road and then fighting the Blood Clots that spawn.
