Upgrading Facilities

Learn how to upgrade your facilities in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Discover when each building becomes available and how Dragon Vein Points (DVP) are used.

Hey there! So, you're looking to beef up your castle in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest? Smart move! Upgrading your facilities is key to getting better gear, more resources, and even boosting your units. You'll be using Dragon Vein Points (DVP) for most of these upgrades. Each upgrade costs 1 DVP and can go up to level 3. Think of it like investing in your base – the better your shops and resource spots, the more you'll get out of them!

You can also build and upgrade defensive structures like statues, turrets, and terrain. Turrets and functional statues unlock as you progress through the story and also cost 1 DVP to build and upgrade. Terrain is free once unlocked, but can't be upgraded. Character statues are a bit different; they unlock after a character defeats a certain number of enemies. These are free to build, but cost 3 DVP for level 2 and 9 DVP for level 3. They're super useful because they can raise stat caps for your characters and their allies with support bonuses, but only during MyCastle battles.

Don't worry if you're running low on DVP from the main story. You can always earn more by participating in optional battles or by visiting other players' MyCastles. It's a great way to stock up!

Here’s a breakdown of when your shops and resource buildings become available:

Keep in mind that some facilities, like Gathering Spots, Private Quarters, Records Hall, Lilith’s Temple, and the Travelers’ Plaza, are already in your MyCastle from the start. You don't need DVP to build them initially.

Now, for the defensive structures, here's when you can start building them:

So, keep an eye on these chapter unlocks and make sure your DVP is ready. Upgrading your castle is a marathon, not a sprint, but it's totally worth it!
