Yeah, I use whatever iron and analyze discs I can on my gear and getting new ones. I get enough to power them pretty well. I also upgrade the tools so I can do some tasks better. Sometimes I am lucky and unlock new weapons quickly sometimes. You can earn enough medals to buy more discs as well, so I managed well without needing to pay.

I feel if I have a good crew and high enough level, we can beat the bosses, but for now, I need to grind some while unlocking new items from collecting relics.

Would be sweet to play together!

Question about the iron(if you know about this), I have not played much more after like level 12 since I want to keep the rest for the real version, but I was wondering if they resupply your iron from mission or I guess the regular shop, since that can be bought through the eshop. I don't want to be using it on weapons and end up figuring out I wasted it all way to early.

I still have my original weapons since I used like 15 disc and got no weapons unlocked, so its very tough it seems. And used about 2 or 3 iron on my original weapons. It appears each iron upgrades your weapon once. Which at least in the Beta, they start you with 100.

The real version releases in 3 days, I'm pretty sure they are going to make you do this all over again. So, don't get to far ahead in the game, since its going to happen all over again.

Ugh, I really hope I don't have to start over in the official version. I'm hoping maybe by chance they can transfer your data to the official one. Maybe I should just quit now and wait for the real one.

Anyways, I think you can get iron from certain items in missions. I'm sure you noticed the different treasures like gold, medals and tool boxes. I think you can get iron from a type of tool box (There's 2 from what I've seen). I'm not certain about this, but sometimes after a match I find some iron in my storage, usually in sets of 5. I tend to gradually build up more as I continue playing. There's also some collectibles that if you complete a set of relics, you get iron, and one of them gives you 20.

So yeah, there's a way to get more iron from just playing. I don't think this is the case for discs though. You'll just have to use medals to buy more. As you do harder missions, like 2 star ones, you tend to get more medals though, so it's not too difficult to accumulate more.

For the official game, I think it may be a good idea to get 2 star weapons and just invest in them while collecting new gear. I got lvl 3 gear, but couldn't even use them. Something about their cost exceeding my points. Also, not a bad idea to get tools and invest in 2 up to level 10 (Mine was up to 12) They'll speed up tasks such as repairing/decrypting/etc, whichever you decide to pick.
