Wanderburg Progression Guide
Two loops, one game: what you do inside a run, and what you carry between runs.
Progression in Wanderburg happens on two levels: the in-run loop (growing the castle, mounting modules, climbing the boss gauntlet) and the between-run loop (spending Silver on permanent unlocks that reshape your options).
The two loops
| Loop | What happens | What carries over |
|---|---|---|
| In-run | Devour, build, fight four-boss gauntlet, rank up the castle | Nothing — the castle resets |
| Between runs | Spend Silver on modules, vehicles, captains, artifacts | Unlocks, Silver balance |
Between-run progression in detail
- Silver — the between-run currency; see the Silver Guide for sources and spending.
- Modules — permanent additions to your arsenal; how unlocks work.
- Captains — alter castle behaviour; captain guide.
- Vehicles — change driving profile; vehicle guide.
- Artifacts — confirmed as part of the official meta progression; details are not yet documented on this wiki.
