World of Tanks Blitz runs 7 versus 7 tank battles with no artillery class at all, which makes it a sharply different game from the PC title it was cut down from. Tanks run from tier I to tier X across Soviet, German, American, British, French, Japanese, Chinese, European and Hybrid trees. Spotting is capped hard: nothing is visible past 445 metres, anything inside 50 metres is spotted automatically, and firing a shot strips your camouflage for five seconds.
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 weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Himmelsdorf to Mines)
- Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Concept 1B once accessible
Mid Game (Dead Rail)
- Push Concept 1B to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for IS-7
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Oasis Palms to Middleburg)
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: 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 Dead Rail 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
- Angle the hull before you finish aiming. Effective armour rises with the angle, and a heavy that presents 30 degrees of slope bounces shells that would go straight through the same plate held flat.
- Farm Dead Rail 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
