Hero equipment ore costs for every piece

Hero equipment is upgraded at the Blacksmith with three kinds of ore: Shiny, Glowy and Starry. Upgrades are instant, so the only limit is ore, which makes choosing what to upgrade the whole game.

Common: ore to max27.26K Shiny Ore + 1.92K Glowy Ore
Epic: ore to max56.06K Shiny Ore + 3.72K Glowy Ore + 480 Starry Ore

Common vs Epic equipment

Common equipment maxes at level 18, while Epic equipment goes to level 27 and also needs Starry Ore, the rarest ore. Maxing one Epic piece costs about 56.06K Shiny Ore + 3.72K Glowy Ore + 480 Starry Ore.

Ore is the bottleneck, not time. Pick one or two pieces per hero that you actually attack with and max those first. Spreading ore across everything leaves you with many half-upgraded items.
