Last Z runs multiple shops in parallel, and each one operates on a different currency with a different rotation schedule. Players who treat all of them the same end up either hoarding too much of the wrong currency or blowing high-value medals on filler items.
The short version: the Glory Shop is your most reliable weekly investment. The Merit Shop is the highest-priority shop in the game — but only during State Ruler. Everything else fits around those two anchors. Here's a full breakdown of what to buy, what to skip, and when timing changes the math.
Glory Shop — Your Weekly Priority List

The Glory Shop is where your weekly shop routine should start. It runs on Glory Points and resets on a regular cycle, and it consistently stocks some of the most progression-relevant materials in the game.
Buy every cycle, in this order:
|
Priority |
Item |
Notes |
|
1st |
Versatile Orange Hero Fragments
|
Always buy full stock — top hero upgrade material |
|
2nd |
Golden Wrenches
|
Essential for vehicle mods; especially valuable before Vehicle Boost |
|
3rd |
Exclusive Equipment Framework Fragments |
Rare appearance, always buy when they show up |
|
4th |
Random Component Boxes
|
Solid consistent buy once top three are cleared |
After those four, Refugee Tickets and Enhancement Alloy are worthwhile secondary purchases, particularly if an Alliance Duel cycle is approaching. Glory Chests work as a last resort if points still remain.
Modification Blueprints sit at the bottom of the list — not a skip, but always fill these after everything else has been cleared.
Merit Shop — The State Ruler Rule

The Merit Shop has one rule that covers every decision inside it: only spend Merit Medals during State Ruler. Outside of that event window, hold them.
During State Ruler, the Merit Shop becomes the best shop in the game. The items available, and the rate at which medals convert into real progression, aren't matched anywhere else. Buy in this order when State Ruler is active:
- Power Cores first. The medal-to-value ratio here is the strongest in the shop. Clear the full stock before anything else.
- Versatile Orange Hero Fragments second. When these appear during State Ruler, they're competitive with Power Cores on a per-medal basis for many accounts. Don't skip them.
- Orange Equipment Choice Box third. The 30-item box at 30K medals is significantly more efficient than the higher-cost Power Core variant. If both are available, buy this one first.
At all times — event or not — skip purple equipment boxes, basic tickets, and resource crates. The medal cost doesn't match the progression impact at any serious account level.
Between State Ruler events, don't touch the Merit Shop. Spending medals outside that window loses most of the value they're designed to deliver.
VIP Shop — One Buy, Full Stop

The VIP Shop is straightforward. Golden Wrenches are the only consistent purchase. Every other item in the shop is lower priority than saving your VIP Points for them.
Golden Wrenches feed directly into vehicle modification progression, and they double in effective value during Vehicle Boost events when every upgrade earns event points. VIP Points are scarce enough that routing them toward anything else is almost always a mistake. Clear the Wrench stock each cycle and move on.
Speed-ups specifically are a skip here. They're available through enough other channels that burning VIP Points on them instead of Wrenches is a poor trade.
Camilla's Shop — Advanced Mod License is the Priority

Camilla's Shop rotates with events and its inventory shifts from cycle to cycle, but the purchase logic stays the same regardless of what's available.
The Advanced Mod License is the top buy whenever it appears. It's required for vehicle modification at higher upgrade stages and genuinely difficult to accumulate through regular gameplay. Buy the full stock without hesitation whenever it shows up. Rare modification and vehicle upgrade materials follow the same logic — source them here because they're harder to find elsewhere.
Common speed-ups are a skip in Camilla's Shop. The token cost isn't justified given how many other ways speed-ups can be obtained.
Time-Limited Shop — Badges First, Orange Fragments Second

The Time-Limited Shop rotates with events and occasionally stocks some of the best items available anywhere in the game. Two categories are always worth buying when they appear.
Badges are a consistent buy regardless of which event is running. They're essential for high-tier research nodes and don't expire, so there's no reason to pass on them. Buy every badge available.
Versatile Orange Fragments unlock at VIP Level 10. Once you hit that threshold, treat these the same as the Glory Shop stock — buy whenever they appear. Outside the Glory Shop, this is one of the few reliable sources.
Purple hero fragments are a skip. At any stage where competitive progression matters, purple fragments aren't moving the needle in a meaningful direction.

Power Core Store — Fuel Every Cycle, Nothing Else
|
Item |
Verdict |
|
Fuel |
Buy every cycle |
|
Advanced Teleporters |
Situational — buy if alliance movement is a near-term need |
|
Power Cores |
Skip — standard event play generates enough |
Fuel is the only consistent purchase in the Power Core Store. It supports vehicle activity and long-term account momentum in ways that players focused purely on troop and hero investment tend to undervalue.
Advanced Teleporters are the one situational exception. If your alliance is actively repositioning, preparing for a war, or server politics make movement a realistic near-term requirement, pick them up. If your server situation is stable, skip.
Don't buy Power Cores directly from this store. Standard event completion generates 150–250 Power Cores per week in most cases. Purchasing them here is almost never necessary.
Black Market — Valor Medals and Orange Equipment
The Black Market runs on Valor Medals, earned through Enemy Buster chest unlocks on Alliance Duel Day 6. A full chest unlock produces 5,200 Valor Medals, or up to 10,400 if Alliance Recognition research is active.
The correct use of Valor Medals is orange equipment. It's one of the few reliable ways to acquire specific gear pieces outside of standard crafting, and the medal cost is justified. Orange equipment first, then reassess what's left.
Everything else in the Black Market is lower priority and can be skipped until your orange equipment purchases are complete.

FAQ
What's the most important shop in Last Z?
For regular weekly play, the Glory Shop. During State Ruler specifically, the Merit Shop takes priority for that event window. Outside of State Ruler, don't spend Merit Medals.
Can I buy Power Cores in the Power Core Store?
You can, but it's generally not worth it. Standard event completion provides enough Power Cores for most accounts. Only consider buying them here if you're under unusual time pressure.
When does Camilla's Shop appear?
It rotates with specific events, so it's not always available. When it is, Advanced Mod Licenses are the priority buy — don't sit on your event tokens if they're in stock.
Is it worth buying speed-ups in the VIP Shop?
No. Speed-ups come from enough other sources that VIP Points are better spent on Golden Wrenches every time.
What are Valor Medals for in the Black Market?
Orange equipment. That's the primary and best use. Valor Medals are earned through Enemy Buster chest unlocks on Alliance Duel Day 6, so the supply is tied to how actively your alliance competes.
Does shop priority change between F2P and paying players?
The order stays largely the same — Orange Hero Fragments, Golden Wrenches, and State Ruler timing matter at every spending level. The difference is mostly in how much stock a paying player can clear each cycle versus a free player rationing purchases.
