Manufacturing

Construct, upgrade and mantain buildings costs resources and time

Costs in resources and time increase at higher levels

Spend DEC to speed up the construction process. Any DEC spent in this way will be burned

Most buildings will also require some existing Monster and Summoner cards to work in them

Monsters and Summoners from certain Splinters will be better suited to working on specific types of buildings and land plots

Buildings can also be destroyed by their owner and a percentage of the resources used to build them can be recovered

SPECIAL BUILDINGS

Pre-existing on certain land plots and cannot be destroyed or removed in any way, these buildings will confer special benefits to their owners and also to the surrounding areas

CASTLE

KEEP

Each Region (1000 plots) will contain exactly 1 plot with a Castle and 9 plots with a Keep
(one in each Tract (100 plots) except for the Tract that contains the plot with the Castle).

The end goal of owning land is to mint the new Item and Spell cards

Items & Spells will be able to be used in battles

There will be specific buildings that can be built for minting

They will require Monster and Summoner cards to work in them

Minting will require both the Magical Resources and Essences

The resulting Item or Spell will be randomly determined based on a number of factors (building, monster, resource, essence, totem,...)

Minting Items and Spells will take time

Spend DEC to speed up the minting process. The amount depends upon many factors similar to those described above

They will require Monster and Summoner cards to work in them

Can be placed in buildings to provide specific benefits

Each totem will provide one specific type of benefit
E.g: may speed up Death Splinter Item card minting time, increase the rate of Sparkstone harvesting, or reduce the maintenance cost of a Farm building

Will have Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities, with the more rare versions giving larger benefits than more common ones

A limited amount of totems have already been released during the lottery, others will be available in a mode yet to be communicated

This page will be updated as new information will be released
