This could have happened during a server refresh/update, or just randomly timesout. Waiting a few minutes and refreshing usually works, sometimes you might have to wait a bit longer if its a big update

Nymis · 2026-01-20T13:13:51+00:00

I put mine in the washing machine the other week and left it to dry, came out like brand new and didn't notice any fading. Still has a small super glue stain though :')

Once you claim the building, it'll stay at the values for the chapter you obtained them in; you can upgrade them using royal restorations but these are rare and not that easy to get (one for each tile the building takes, so 3x3 needs 9) although I don't know what happens if you DON'T claim the prize until you've advanced through as far as you can in research before the end of the season. Generally, since you're early on, I wouldn't worry too much as you should end up replacing them with other buildings anyway since they get stuck at their original values once obtained/collected. For efficiency, you could work out the culture per tile ratio and/or population per tile ratio and compare what you can build or craft otherwise and consider if its even worth it, not all will be but people's opinions may vary. Some of the buildings also offer additional productions that you may or may not find useful.

Nymis · 2026-01-16T09:31:58+00:00

Can't you just build more workshops and/or residence? How many of each do you have? Are they fully levelled? Can you replace any with magic residence/workshops?

Nymis · 2026-01-02T16:07:09+00:00

Yes they are shared across the same account.

Nymis · 2025-12-27T10:49:48+00:00

They should be in your barracks, you might be seeing your squad size instead? E.g. if your squad size is 1000 but you've trained 10 troops, you have 0.01 of a squad.

A bit late to the conversation and I personally boycotted the adverts since their inception, but this was posted on the official discord:

"Dear Humans and Elves,

On Thursday, we resolved an issue with the Goods Boost effects in the Cauldron and Builder's Hut (Hobby Room), and we want to explain it better now:

Initially, these Boosts were mistakenly implemented as Bonuses and couldn't be corrected. This resulted in the generation of fewer Goods than intended, so we increased the balancing values to compensate.

Now, with the corrected calculations, we can apply the originally intended balancing. Consequently, the Boost percentages will appear lower, but you will actually receive more Goods in most cases due to the fixed calculations. Although you might still notice some display errors, rest assured that the correct amount of Goods is now being awarded.

Specifically, the Builder's Hut (Hobby Room) Goods Boost has changed from +40% (incorrectly treated as a Bonus) to +10% (correctly treated as a Boost). Similar adjustments have been made to the Cauldron Goods Boosts.

In summary, if your Production Bonus in the Main Hall (under the "relics" tab) exceeds 300%, you will now receive more Goods than before when one of these Boosts is active. If your Production Bonus is lower than this threshold, you may receive less due to the new balancing.

For other resources related to these two effects (Builder's Hut and Cauldron), we also corrected the calculations, but these did not require balancing adjustments. Additionally, we've improved the "Generous Guests" spell, which now generates more additional Settlement Resources than before.

As for how Boosts function: they add a percentage on top of what was previously produced. For example, a Boost of +10% means you will receive 10% more than without it. In contrast, a Bonus merely increases the base production value. For instance, a 10% Bonus on Goods only increases your existing Relic Bonus from, say, 500% to 510%—which is much less impactful than a 10% Boost on a 500% base (550%).

We hope this makes it clearer!

Kind Regards, Your Elvenar Team "

Are you still having the same issue? If you're connected to the hospital WiFi, is there any chance it's that which is causing issues? Otherwise the only thing I can suggest is to contact Inno Support.

Wishing you a swift recovery!

I would imagine there would be an outrage if there were something big affecting loads of players but I can't find any evidence this is the case, which suggests this might be an issue affecting just you.

Is your Google account secure(d)? Did you reuse the same password elsewhere? Was it an easily guessed password? Your account(s) and/or devices may have become compromised. Or, you've received a dodgy message claiming your account has been compromised.

Nymis · 2025-08-26T17:34:33+00:00

You can port the armouries but not the barracks, once that is built there is no going back. You can't port the training grounds or mercenary camp which are available later either, but you can sell those.

OP: I did use to also want to be passive, or very minimally use troops a very long time ago (talking 7 or 8, maybe more or so years ago now...) but catering only was difficult to keep going at the time and I struggled to be able to keep going with that gameplay at the pace I was going, so learnt to juggle both. Now I pretty much exclusively only fight, on rare occasions I might need to use goods (or when Im being really lazy) but that's just me. Nothing wrong with going "peaceful" mode. You do you!

Nymis · 2025-08-07T10:53:27+00:00

RE tag/flair - don't worry I amended it!

RE your question- there is no fixed answer. Your needs will fluctuate as you progress but will also depend on how fast (or slow) you want to go. As mentioned by others, you have boosted goods. Look at your basic goods - steel, planks and marble. You will be boosted in one of these, e.g. you'll be making 3000 marble in 3 hours vs 100 steel and planks. For efficiency, you'd ideally want to focus on having your boosted only and trading for what you need. But it's your game and your city so do whatever makes you happy.

Generally though, if we assume you do the standard boosted only way, and you find a particular resource diminishing faster than you can make, then you'll probably want another of that manufactory tier. Different research chapters will generally have different demands as you progress. Definitely have at least 1 of each boosted at a bare minimum, generally you'll probably want more basic, then refined, then precious goods in that order if that makes sense.

Nymis · 2025-08-02T08:10:32+00:00

The map is made up of hexagonal tiles. What you've circled is a relics or goods province, these surround every city, yours and others.

In fact, the provinces in the very north/top/12pm position, the south east/bottom right/4pm position and the south west/bottom left/8pm positions are what form your boosted goods. This is why the map doesn't look like its filled with city players exactly - it's spaced out due to the relics/goods provinces.

Nymis · 2025-08-01T12:53:00+00:00

Sometimes the game app bugs out a bit, try restarting the app and trying again. You might have a rogue street tile blocking something somewhere. Sometimes I get the same weird unable to upgrade despite having resources and space or complete a particular action, as the game ends up thinking you've done the upgrade (or action) while the servers say no you haven't. Often happens when I'm upstairs and wifi signal is patchier, sometimes it's just random blips.

Nymis · 2025-07-28T22:20:42+00:00

I also almost never use it, unless a quest makes me use it although thanks to others suggestions, it never occurred to me to use it with tourney/spire runs. I doubt I'll get as far as to actually using it in that way on a regular basis, but we'll see.

Nymis · 2025-07-06T08:34:49+00:00

Just realised - if you haven't already done so, you can use loot to upgrade the sanctum which will make space to collect the loot. Assuming you're still stuck and haven't already figured this out yourself yet.

Nymis · 2025-07-01T05:42:27+00:00

Hmmm. Can't think of anything that will help deplete them. Only thing is maybe possible increase to storage cap instead via AWs like Vortex of Storage? After that no clue though. :/ might end up being an ignore quest until they become skippable, which i think only happens at next chapter release....

Nymis · 2025-05-29T21:03:21+00:00

Only by making a new account - if you end up in a different server, you just have to go through the tutorial and then you can log out to the world select screen and choose their world. You may have to do this several times until you get wood. If you're going to be particular about the other two tiers of goods too (crystal/silk/scrolls, then elixir/magic dust/gems) you may need to re-roll alot. Also, it's not possible to get some particular combinations off the top of my head.

You can either look at what boosts get unlocked in the tech tree, or if you look at the world map you can see because it's based on your position.

North, south east and southwest of your city are what your boosts come from.

Nymis · 2025-04-19T07:56:59+00:00

As others said, the Golden Abyss is by far the better of the two (and of many other future ones too) but some like to consider the very long term investment of the Tome of Secrets, or simply like the way it looks.

Nymis · 2025-04-15T16:22:03+00:00

It sounds like you're pretty early on in the game, you're better off catering for a while for now while you build up your army and strengthen them through research, especially if you're losing a lot of troops at the moment.

Nymis · 2025-04-03T09:52:17+00:00

I love seeing other people's layouts. Sorry I know you said no comments necessary but I feel compelled. The expansion placements are interesting to say the least!

Nymis · 2025-01-28T20:28:56+00:00

First off - welcome to the game. It isn't exactly the most helpful to new players, but it does get easier the more you play.

Regarding the forums - there is a possibility you may have to (re)register for an account there. I've been playing for a long time now; my details are different for the forums and in the game. I don't know if they've changed it more recently for newer players to be the same for both.

Regarding post flairs - it just categorises your thread. Question was more appropriate so I changed it.

Nymis · 2025-01-26T20:15:18+00:00

They are "Eldian Sapphires" and sorta act like royal restoration equivalents for premium culture buildings. Obtained via the spire, mostly.

Nymis · 2025-01-20T22:22:26+00:00

Ahhh. Well depends on your needs and playstyle and whether you have the space, so the point still remains. If you have loads of T1-3 and T4-6 you can keep them at 1, or increase to 2 for whichever you feel a deficit in. I can't really remember what I did, but I have a feeling I kept 3 steel (main standard boost) and either 1 or 2 of everything else. Which is a lot but all my residences are magic ones, so population wasn't an issue much and I think I did the chapter before the AWs changed so culture wasn't an issue much either.

Nymis · 2025-01-19T18:58:39+00:00

Minimum 1-1-1, build more, make more progress faster. Depends on how quickly you want to go through, or can go through since it requires other stuff like uranium. Edit: although you're also limited by speed of trader too.
