The Tool Shop can be built by recruiting Hiro, who can be recruited quite early in the game, and having the required Headquarters funds available. This is easily achievable due to its low cost overall.

3 Mission Guild

Acquire Rare Resources Easily

• Requirements
  • HQ Funds: 3200
  • Food: 200
  • Pelt: 40
  • Dire Beastbone: 1

Sometimes, building the necessary Headquarters improvements can be costly due to their requirements, which include rare resources such as the Mystic Lumber and Iron Ore. These can either be tediously farmed by the player by waiting for the materials to respawn in-between quests, or simply earned passively with the help of the Mission Guild.

By taking a party of recruitable characters out on an expedition, they will be able to finish missions that can earn a number of resources for players to use. Moreover, some of the missions also have the chance to grant rare items, such as Faded Books, to enhance the lore of the game.

Therefore, having one built in the Headquarters is quite important, especially before hard battles in the late-game.

Building a Rune Shop will require the player to recruit Code L first, which can be done by fulfilling his request for an item obtainable from one of the story's bosses. With the shop built, players will be able to equip the strongest runes in the game without having to change towns.

1 Smithy

Increase The Party Damage By A Large Margin

• Requirements
  • HQ Funds: 1000
  • Stone 50

Even the strongest party members with the highest potential Power stat will hit like a wet noodle if their weapons remain unimproved during the course of the game.

Recruiting Douglas can be tough, since he will require a number of Iron Ores to be obtained before joining the player. However, the role he fulfills in building the Smithy should be enough motivation for players to get started with mining Iron Ores in the Abandoned Mine inside the Headquarters in order to bring Douglas into the fold.
