Dungeon Overlord Game Guide – Gathering Resources

To gather resources in the game you’ll need to build mines and farms for you iron, crystal, and food. You can collect gold from your bank as it accumulates. Your minions can pick up mined resources and deposit them into your inventory for use.

Other ways to get the resources you require are to conduct trades. Click the social icon at the right to enter the market and begin to make trades. In the regional market, you can buy resources you need or sell the excess you have accumulated. The market is a good place to find the primordial resources you need but it is nasally better to get these from looting or owning another dungeon since you won’t be paying high fees for them. Be sure to upgrade your mines so you have enough resources coming into your dungeon.

Conducting Research
