Into The Hive Ore: Uses and Mastery Booster Costs

Ore is used alongside Cash to upgrade equipment in Into The Hive. With the Mastery Booster game pass, every equipment upgrade permanently requires half the usual Ore and half the usual Cash.

What Ore is used for

Ore contributes to the resource cost of equipment upgrades together with Cash. When budgeting for an upgrade, account for both requirements: the Ore amount is one part of the cost, and the Cash amount is the other.

That makes Ore relevant when planning improvements to your equipment. For the broader upgrade system, see the equipment upgrades guide.

How Mastery Booster changes the amount needed

Mastery Booster reduces each resource requirement separately. To calculate the reduced cost, divide an equipment upgrade’s normal Ore requirement by two, then divide its normal Cash requirement by two. Both costs receive the same 50% reduction.

The benefit applies to every equipment upgrade and is permanent with the pass, so its scope extends beyond a single upgrade purchase. When comparing the standard requirements with the pass benefit, consider the savings in both resources together.
