Build Items

CONSTRUCTION YARD
Once you reach Level 45, youll be granted access to a new building (through a quest), the Construction yard In order to unlock the slots for a location, a Construction yard must be built there (in the Castle, Capital, Metropolis, or Outpost)

Build Item Crafting
Build items can now be crafted! In order to craft a construction item, youll need access to the Construction Yard, and Blueprints Blueprints are available through a brand new research tree

The majority of common build items will already be unlocked for construction, but for others, youll have to research the blueprints Each item will have its own blueprint research, split into rarity levels. The higher the level of research you do on a specific item, the better the item you can craft will be.

Materials
Youll need materials in order to craft build items! The lower level items will only use regular resources, but for further levels, youll need the previous level of the item youre trying to craft as well as some materials

Obtaining materials can be done through material bags, which can be obtained through the Nomads, Samurai and Berimond events for now, in activity rewards and the in-event shops (for the Nomads and Samurai). More methods of obtaining Material Bags will follow in the future You can also disassemble your old build items, receiving a percentage of the materials used to create them, back. Higher level build items will give you 100% of their costs back.

Materials will have their own inventory, that isn't capped

Base food vs Food production food production can be increased to level 10 base food production can be found as high as level 14. these are bought in events such as samurai and shapeshifters you get way more food using the base food vs the regular food production. I have one level 1 granary that says it has zero production cause I have so many....but by using the plain level 10 not the base food I can make it produce 200 an hour. This is the only time that a level 10 is better than a base food.

Troop recruitment
By using the base recruitment you can make more at a time. I believe the highest is a level 6 or 7 on base recruitment so be careful you don't cover it with a level 10
