OPNeon Games put a card shop counter in front of you on 15 September 2024 and let the ledger do the rest. You buy sealed Tetramon product, rip packs for singles, price everything against a live market value and try to keep the shop clean enough that customers come back. Over 2,500 cards exist to collect, and the Ghost cards behind them appear in only one pack in a thousand.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Front sales floor to Storage room)

Mid Game (Shop Lot B)
- Push Tetramon Destiny booster pack to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Tetramon Base booster box
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Shop Lot B farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Set almost everything to market price plus 10 percent and leave it there. Purchase likelihood sits near 90 percent at market and around 75 percent at plus 10, which is the best money-per-sale trade in the game.
- Farm Shop Lot B during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
