What resources matter most in Sea of Conquest?

Gated materials at the mid-game and beyond. Basic resources are never the real constraint if your fleets keep moving.

What should I spend gems on?

Permanent unlocks first — queue slots, capacity — then hero pulls on banners you want. Never on speedups.

Gold demand grows faster than casual income. You need deliberate gold routes rather than incidental income — see the gold guide.

Anything above your storage cabin's protected cap can be, while you are offline. Spend down before logging off.

No. It usually expires or devalues at rotation. Spend it before the event ends.

An active alliance — gifts and help — plus a dedicated gathering fleet. Both cost almost nothing and pay every day.
