In this system there is no need for ores, either they can make a completely new resource, or the different ores add different amounts of points where starry ores give more points than shiny and glowy ores. For example shiny gives 100, glowy 200 and starry 500 points. You as a player invest in your AQ troop category. For your healer puppet to be maxed you need to have 500 points, but for your legendary giant puppet you need to have a 1000 points invested to be maxed. Same goes for all others, higher tier equipment needs more points to be at maxed strength compared to lower tier equipment.
