Understanding the Currencies

The main currencies in the game are crucial to be understood in-depth for a prosperous line of progression. Players will be delighted to know that there are 4 different currencies that can be called as “main currencies” in GRAND CROSS: Age of Titans. Each of them plays a significant role in doing different important tasks. Here are the different currencies and their usage:

• Gems – Gems are the most premium currency in the game, and they are also required in abundance.  Sadly, they are given at a low pace, especially at the mid-late game stages. They are given in abundance only in the early/beginner stages. Gems are mostly used as a summoning currency, to collect and use new heroes to lead your troops. They can also be used to purchase the rest of the currencies like Food, Stones, and Wood.
• Food – Food is one of the 3 main precious resources required to function a healthy operation in your castle. It is produced by the Sawmill building. The rate of production of Food is directly dependent on the current level of your Sawmill. Food is required in abundance to upgrade buildings, train troops, and construct new buildings.
• Wood – Wood is one of the 3 main precious resources required to function a healthy operation in your castle. It is produced by the Farm building. The rate of production of Wood is directly dependent on the current level of your Farm. Wood is required in abundance to upgrade buildings, train troops, and construct new buildings.
• Stone – Stones are one of the 3 main precious resources required to function a healthy operation in your castle. It is produced by the Quarry building. The rate of production of Stones are directly dependent on the current level of your Quarry. Stones are required in abundance to construct buildings, and purchase decorations for your kingdom.

Understanding the Summoning System

GRAND CROSS: Age of Titans is a hero-collector as well, making use of the innate summoning system titled as “Star Fragments”. You can recruit powerful heroes of differing rarities and factions using this system. However, keep in mind that this system uses either Gems or Prayer Books to summon heroes. These resources are much tougher to obtain and should be spent judiciously. We would advise to refer to a tier list while making a sound decision on which banner you wish to spend these resources on as recruiting a hero which does not sync with your team can lead to devastation and in-efficiency.
