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
Anything that shortens travel or expands where you can safely go pays back on every subsequent session.
Automation next
Ancient unlocks that raise base throughput compound. A production gain applies every hour you are logged in and offline.
Combat gear when you are boss-blocked
If a tower boss is the wall stopping your progress, put points into the gear that clears it, then return to quality of life.
Check the material cost
Unlocking a recipe is not owning the item. Verify you can farm the ancient materials before spending points on something you cannot build.
Avoid spreading thin
Half-unlocked tiers help nobody. Finish one useful branch, then move on.
