How to get Ancient Technology Points
Ancient Technology Points come from defeating bosses — tower bosses, field alpha bosses and raid encounters — not from levelling. That makes boss clearing, not grinding, the route to the ancient tech tree.
- ✓Tower bosses
- ✓Field alpha bosses
- ✓Raid and event encounters
Best ancient technology unlocks first
Spend early points on the unlocks that change your day-to-day loop — travel, storage-adjacent automation and the ancient gear you will actually craft — before cosmetic or situational entries.
- ✓Mobility first
- ✓Automation next
- ✓Combat gear when you are boss-blocked
Fast repeatable boss routes
The efficient ancient-point farm is a loop of three to five alpha bosses you can each kill in a couple of minutes, chained by fast-travel points.
- ✓Pick beatable targets
- ✓Unlock the fast travel first
- ✓Loadout discipline
Ancient parts and crafting materials
Ancient recipes need ancient civilisation parts and cores, which drop from the same bosses that award the points, so a single boss loop supplies both halves of the unlock.
- ✓Where parts drop
- ✓Budgeting parts
- ✓Storage discipline
