Those are resource areas that your settlement's don't yet have access too. In order to get access, you need to go kill the guardians in the region.


How do you know which creatures are the guardians? Or do you just kill everything in the area?

Sorry for all the questions most things are making sense but I can't seem to be able to liberate the resources local to my settlement.

Look for the microbosses, they are usually as far away from the entrance of the region as they can be.

So i have a rather stupid questions..

What do i do with gem mine areas. I found 3 of em in a huge underground cave network.. but what are they for?

Is there some list that lists what you get at what civ level? Is there *much* more beyond civ 6 ?

Sometimes when entering a bombed out area i spawn in a room with no door, that normal?

Where do you find Spell Books, only from boss towers?

What can you find in normal buildings besides just the glow currency and health potions?

How do i actually gain access to resources, after defeating the guardian (at what civ level for one ,p)

The Gem Mine areas allow you to mine more gems, which you can use to make more spells. Every 5 Levels or so, the gems get stronger (Jade II as opposed to Jade II), when you use a stronger gem to make a spell, the spell becomes stronger.

Books are best found in houses in rural and wooded areas. Once in the houses look for rooms that appear yellow in the dungeon map, they are libraries or dens. Books are usually there.

Normal buildings have, in addition, health potions, the conciousness shards, and sometimes, gem dust, which can be used to make potions.

After defeating the guardians in a region, you need to assign an NPC from the settlement management screen, to go get the resources.

Probably a silly post, but I don't wish to risk quitting the game without knowing (played for 5 hours straight!).  Does quitting save the game such that I'll be in the same place when I start it up again?  Or does it teleport me to my town?

So i assume mining doesn't unlock at civ 6 ;P

Thanks a lot!  I've been in this underground cavern for about an hour now, and have found so many boss rooms.  I was worried that quitting would mean I'd have to come find them all again.  A question relating to that: do underground caverns go on forever?  As in, is there always one 'green' room which leads deeper?

Basically, once you find the gem veins in the caves, you essentially attack them.

Attack them with spells? I did that a lot, it never showed any health bar or any indication that it works.. but let me try quickly ;P

Oh wow, this needs a Tooltip when you pass by a minable rock

only spell that counts as mining action is fire touch... i never even looked at it as its melee , and why bother with melee when i have ice waves of eternal doom and fireballs of fire...

So yeah ;)

Took me a while to work out mining watched one of Chris's vids and it made sense. Maybe something that should be mentioned in game. Got the hang of getting the resource points taken three now along with two rare commodity towers.

Yeah, I didn't realise it was just fire touch.  Just so happened I'm a cheapskate with my mana and will ONLY use that (free) spell on non-hostile objects.

Because it's free, and that's awesome.  Anything that costs me nothing to use is great.  Also awesome?  PUNCHING BATS IN THE FACE.  It never gets old.  It even deserves lots of capital letters, which I rarely use.

I really want an upgraded version at a higher level that's basically FALCON PUNCH, with the lunge and higher damage everything.  I should stick that in Mantis at some point, because I've wanted it for weeks now.

Actually circle of fire, Ice cross, Energy pulse, and probably a few others can be used for mining too. Just look in the description for a mention of damage to background objects.
