In Endless Legends 2, it’s a joyous ride building for Dust income strategies, and here’s the best way to get Dust fast.

The Best Way to Get Dust in Endless Legends 2

The best way to get Dust is to obtain it through multiple avenues. There are plenty of ways to get Dust, and you should take advantage of each method to become an economic powerhouse.

First, you want to get Merchant Houses on foundation tiles. This is the basic structure for generating income. There are some research upgrades that help you generate more income through these houses, ones that turn them into Advanced Merchant Houses, even, so that’s worth looking into as well.

Second, you’ll want to take advantage of strategic resources, specifically luxury resources. It even has its own tab in the upper-right corner of your screen to emphasize its importance. If you secure luxury resources, you can easily sell them. These resources also have trending prices. If their demands are high, you can sell them immediately. If the trend is low, you can hold on to them, unless your storage is full and you need to remove some.

Third, increasing your population gives more Dust, so managing your population by meeting their needs indirectly gives you more Dust. You’ll also need to increase their approval rating, which will help with future research upgrades revolving around Dust later on.

Fourth, allocating Citizens and Artisans to the population to get more Dust through taxes. Death by taxes, am I right?

Fifth, you want to capitalize on technology or science upgrades revolving around your economy. The yellow section of the Technology screen contains researches that improve your economy. Some of them don’t improve your Dust income directly, while some of them may even catapult your economy to the top.

Best Technology Upgrades for Economics in Endless Legends 2

Here are some of the best upgrades for Dust:

  • Dustlytics (Era 2) – unlocks Dust improvements, +6 Dust on City Halls and +4 Dust on Ministries.
  • Commerce (Era 3) – unlocks Alchemists’ Commission and Caravanserai.
  • Dustnomics (Era 3) – unlocks Dust Blasting, Converters, and Investors’ Graft. +4 Dust on Merchant’s Houses.
  • Banks (Era 4) – unlocks Thermal Baths.
  • Financial Literacy (Era 5) – unlocks Cashier’s Lodge and Treasury. +25% Dust on Population Vocations.
  • Tolls and Taxation (Era 5) – unlocks Customs Inspector. +3 Dust on Improvements.
  • Land Management (Era 5) – unlocks Collections Bureau. -25% Industry cost on Merchant Houses.
  • Dust Seismology (Era 6) – +15% Dust on City Hall and -50% buyout costs on units, districts, and improvements.

The most crucial upgrade in the middle game is going to be Dustnomics, as the Dust Blasting improvement lowers costs by 25% on units, districts, and improvements, on top of adding more Dust based on your population.

The Banks technology that unlocks Thermal Baths also helps your economy grow indirectly. It gives more Food, Industry, Approval Rating, and Influence, all contributing to Dust generation with the right upgrades and improvements.

Era 5 dominates the rest of the Dust improvements, with each new improvement directly impacting your Dust generation. Dust Seismology puts the icing on the cake as an empire purely built on buying anything and everything to expand and progress.
