Efficient resource gathering is the backbone of camp progression. Here's how to optimize it:

- Monster Density: More monsters mean more chances for resource drops. Balance this with your hero's ability to survive. Spider Cocoons are excellent for generating many weak enemies.
- Treasury: Build and upgrade your Treasury early to increase your resource storage capacity, preventing wasted resources.
- Resource-Specific Tiles: Certain tiles provide specific resources. For example, Rocks and Mountains provide Stone, Forests provide Wood, and Villages provide Food.
- Selling Items: Don't forget that selling unwanted equipment provides a small amount of resources. This can be crucial for hitting specific resource thresholds for camp upgrades.
- Retreat Strategy: Always try to retreat from the campfire tile to retain 60% of your resources. If you're about to die, retreating from anywhere else (30% retention) is still better than losing everything.
Plan your expeditions with specific resource goals in mind to accelerate your camp's development.
