Resources (LoU)

In Lord of Ultima, players must accumulate resources in order to create and maintain new buildings and army units.

Purified Resources
Using Research, a high-level Moonglow Tower could purify resources. Each can then be used to improve your units, buildings, and abilities (such as trading). The number of purified resources you create determines your title in the game. Titles also determine your level, how many Barons and cities you can retain, and how much Mana you have.

Although it does not need to be purified, gold is also used in research.

Ministers
Players can hire ministers by paying Diamonds in the store. Each minister performs functions that ordinarily the player would need to do manually. One of the benefits is that the player does not need to be logged in for these actions to be performed on their behalf.

Artifacts
Players can purchase Artifacts by spending Diamonds in the store. Additionally, some Artifacts can be acquired by finishing quests, inviting friends, or by defeating boss monsters and dungeons.

Artifacts scale by level, so that new players can use only Copper varieties, while veteran players can use more powerful versions.
