Welcome to Lootun Deep Dive #5. This week we will be looking at the Building Upgrades and Profession systems in Lootun.
Building Upgrades:
As you progress through Lootun you will unlock the ability to construct and upgrade certain buildings. Constructing these building will require many different types of crafting materials and currencies. Constructing these buildings will unlock new gameplay features and upgrade existing features to be more powerful.
Scrapper:
The Scrapper is a very important building that you will want to construct as soon as possible. The Scrapper will unlock the ability to salvage your spare equipment, which in turn will provide materials that you can use to construct more buildings. Further upgrades into the Scrapper will grant the ability to automatically salvage items of a lower quality.
Blacksmith:
The Blacksmith is a key building for those wishing to craft or upgrade equipment. As you upgrade the Blacksmith to higher ranks you will unlock powerful tools for upgrading your equipment.
Barracks:
The Barracks is a very important building for players intending to make full use of Lootun’s automation features. Upgrading the Barracks will grant the ability to automatically cast all of your skills and select the auto targeting priority for each character.
Professions:
The professions system in Lootun provides a way to passively obtain crafting materials. Once you have constructed the Profession Hall you will be able to upgrade the profession specific buildings Mine, Forest and Farm. Upgrading these buildings will grant additional worker slots and provide the ability to gather higher tier materials.
Harvesting:
Once you have unlocked a profession you will begin to automatically acquire materials based on what tier you have set your workers to harvest. By default each harvest will take 20 seconds to complete but this can be sped up with upgrades.
Tools:
Once you have unlocked a profession you will begin to occasionally receive profession tools from slaying monsters. These tools follow the standard rarity system in Lootun but have their own set of tool specific attributes. Tool attributes can grant significant bonuses to your material gathering rate.
Rare Materials:
As you harvest materials you will have a small chance to obtain rare materials. These rare materials can be used to craft gems and flasks. The chance to find rare materials can be improved by finding tools with the right attributes.
Material Donations:
Once you have constructed the Community Project building you will be able to donate spare materials in exchange for a new currency, Donation Credits.
Donation Passives:
Donation Credits can be used to upgrade a variety of material and profession related passives. Allowing you to acquire more materials and higher quality tools.
