In a lot of games, you have to live with the choices you make and are not able to take back those choices later. This can result in regret over having committed so much time and effort to a build that is ineffective.Rotwoodis a roguelike dungeon crawler, which means it can avoid a lot of these issues by having the majority of builds created duringExpeditions. However, there are a handful of important elements that set the foundation of your loadout at the start of each of these Expeditions. One of these elements isCorestones.
What To Buy First With Corestones
Players will get a fewCorestonesduring their first expedition, and come to realize that they should not spend them meaninglessly. If you spread out spending them, you will not have enough to make a purchase that requires several, until you have done a few additional runs.
The first things you will want to spend your Corestones on arethe other base weapons.There are three weapons besides the Hammer, including the Spear, the Strikers, and the Cannon. Each one has its own respective cost:
This comes to a total of 23Corestones, and it takes a while to get your Corestones up to the double digits. The reason you should invest in these first is that with each weapon you unlock, you can start doingMasteriesfor it. Each Mastery you complete will give you more Corestones. Each weapon’s Mastery list will ultimately give you more Corestones than you used to buy the weapon itself, making this a worthwhile investment.
Lastly, this will help you understand how each weapon plays, and which types of weapons you should invest in when buying fromAlphonse’s store. You will need a lot of Corestones to get more armor and weapons, so knowing which weapons to avoid will save you a large sum of them — especially when you’re looking for a full set of heavier armor todefeat Owlitzer, the boss of the next location.
How To Farm Corestones In Rotwood
There are many ways to getCorestones, but it takes a while to amass them. You usually won’t have enough to buy everything you want the first time you findAlphonsein each new location. Each time you go on a new run, apply as many of these practices as you’re able to, to maximize how many Corestones you will return home with.
At the end of each run, you can return home and make some decorations. The first time you craft a new item to decorate, you will receive Corestones for crafting it. Some items are even worth more Corestones than you can get in a single run. If you find yourself struggling with a particular Mastery,switch over to a different weaponand see which ones will be easy Corestone earners.
Progressing to new areas is also advised. In the beginning, you will only get 1 Corestone as a clearing reward, while later locations can give even more.
