This page was last updated for (v1.1.2).

This guide is based on the post from @slahsh on Discord or u/No-Train4777 on reddit with some tweaks.

Before Starting Township

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    takes approximately 30 days to reach Level 120. It'll provide you with plenty of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    (at Level 80), resources and consumables. Completing Casual Tasks can help speed up this process.
  • Your Town will degrade if you don't keep upgrading it. Be consistent when it comes to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    . You should be updating your town at least once per day. More will be beneficial.
  • Degradation will delete resources if your storage cannot hold them. This could slow you down significantly.
  • Seasonal Modifiers boost production early and decrease it later making it better to build quickly at the start. If you're not quite ready to commit to
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    , it may be better to just wait until you are.
  • You cannot fail
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    . No matter how bad it looks, there's always a solution to fixing your town.
  • Each "tick", or "town update", is takes 1 hour and is done automatically.

Quick Tips

  • Casual Tasks can greatly speed up the early game. Completing each of the base game Dungeons once will unlock Casual Tasks for 10,000-75,000 Food+
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wood
    +
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    . Starting from Dragons Den, these tasks will also give
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Planks
    and Bars!
  • The general goal with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    is to prioritize whatever resource you're low on and then increase
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Population
    (XP).
  • If you are unsure which worship to use, Aeris is the safest and pick due to having the highest cost reduciton at -25% building cost which is doubled in spring. This can dramatically reducing the GP cost for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    , especially
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Town Hall
    .
  • The building costs to Level 99 is around 60m
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    .
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Statue of Worship
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Town Hall
    will add 320m
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    (Aeris) or 470m
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    (other gods) on top of this.
  • Repairing early is a waste of resources. Building a new building repairs for FREE so when possible try to build a new building instead of repairing first and then building a new one.
  • Building Cost Reduction will also reduce repair cost which can be very valuable before town halls are built.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Worship
    modifiers are multiplicative, dramatically increasing resources gained.
  • If your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Population
    is low, check
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Health
    . You can recover
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Health
    with Herbs and Potions using the buttons below the Repair All buttons. Each individual building along with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Health
    have a 25% chance to be reduced by 1% per tick.
  • Buildings that are at 0/x (meaning you can't buy the next tier yet) do not receive any damage! This can be useful to prevent buildings from decaying (loss in resource production). This has a very niche use case.
  • Seasons have modifiers. Click 'View Season Modifiers' In-Game or the Seasons Section on the Wiki to check them out!

General Progression

The general progression may change based on which god you choose. The following will be based on Aeris.

  1. Always bulk up your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Storage
    before going to sleep to ensure you don't cap out over night!
  2. Always prioritize resources you aren't generating enough of to avoid delays at higher Levels of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    and higher tiers of buildings.
  3. After resources, always prioritize
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Population
    which is required to build later upgrades. A general goal is to reach the next upgrade
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Population
    threshold before unlocking it. This becomes easier as you progress and may be harder if you don't play as often. Don't worry too much if you can't reach it in time.

Remember, building a new building will repair for FREE. Do not repair unless that building is 100% maxed out. Its likely you can avoid repairs entirely by just building new buildings until you're past Level 90.

    Basic Shelter
    , 20 File:Woodcutter Camp (building).png Woodcutter Camp, and 4
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Carpenters Workshop
    . Save the rest of your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wood
    for more
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Carpenters Workshop
    .
  • After having 10-20
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Carpenters Workshop
    built, start building
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wooden Hut
    to reach Level 15 faster.
  • If you're an Adventure mode character, check for any Casual Tasks that give
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wood
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Planks
    or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

  • All wood should go into
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Carpenters Workshop
    until maxed at 20/20.
  • If you don't have all
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wooden Hut
    in the Grasslands, prioritize doing so now.
  • When you have approximately 1,500-2,000
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    left, build 20
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Miners Pit
    in the Mountains.
  • For now, you will want to balance your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Planks
    usage between
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Logging Camp
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Miners Field
    , prioritizing the resource you have the least of.
  • Clothing will become a valuable resource soon. Around this time I aim for at least 150 Leather per tick so I can build 1
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Tailor
    every tick. More Leather can help to get
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Basic Shelter
    in the Arid Plains built sooner. This will also be needed in high quantities in the Snowlands, which will eventually become the best biome to build in when possible.
  • Food production will likely be a problem around Lv 30-35. I prefer to get 20/20
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Farmland
    in the Grasslands to prevent decay and then move onto
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishermans Dock
    in the Swamp. Aim for around 1,200 Food per tick for now.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Health
    will start to decrease after Level 15. This can be increased with Herbs or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Potions
    by the Repair All buttons.
    • Reduced
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Health
      will multiply your population by your %Health making it very important to keep this at 100% at all times.

  • You'll likely want to build
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Carpenters Factory
    and the rest of the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Logging Camp
    if you don't already have them.
  • You will need more
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Potions
    for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cottage
    . Get your Herbs production maxed out since this will become a limiting factor for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Potions
    production, which requires just Herbs to build.
  • Work towards getting 25%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Worship
    (+1% for every 4 hours of inactivity). You can get 50%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Worship
    if you're more active however 1% damage will result in those modifiers being lost.
    • If your god is "None :(" do not build any
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Worship
      buildings. Without a god
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Worship
      does nothing.
  • Bar are going needed at Level 60 so get some production now (about 200 Bar per tick will do for now, just to start stockpiling). If you worship Aeris, build them in the Mountains for the 25% bonus production at 25%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Worship
    .
  • In the Snowlands, focus on building
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Clothier
    then
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Miners Field
    then
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cottage
    for now.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Malcs Cats
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Prats Hats
    can be built whenever you feel like it. These won't require repairs until after Level 100-110.
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Malcs Cats
    can provide small bonuses to your Town as well as 1% Global item doubling and 5% Global
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    .

If you find yourself at max

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

and you can't build more

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Warehouse

, you can make

1
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Trading Post

and trade out excess resources. You may not need to do this until around Level 100-110. Avoid repairing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

since these are very expensive to repair!

Level 60-79

New Upgrades:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Large Cottage

, Coal),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Blacksmiths Forge

( Bar),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hunters Villa

( Leather),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Gatherers Villa

( Herbs) New Building:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic Emporium

( Rune Essence) If you haven't built all the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Gardens

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Tavern

by now, they should be very cheap to build and will help you reach the 15,000

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

needed for Level 60 buildings.

  • Food will be needed in higher quantities soon. For now, something like 2,000-4,000 Food per tick will do. You'll mostly be limited by other resources anyway but this will help with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Tavern
    and get a nice stockpile going for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Large Cottage
    , which require 7,200 Food each.
  • Purchase a few
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic Emporium
    s for Rune Essence as it will be needed in large quantities later on. The goal would be about 200-300 Rune Essence per tick for now
    • After buying all of the
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Miners Quarry
      and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Carpenters Foundry
      you will want to increase production to around 2,000 Rune Essence per tick.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    and Coal will begin to be heavily strained. Priorize the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Miners Quarry
    in the Snowlands first due to the 2x biome modifier. Then Mountains if you
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Worship
    Aeris otherwise build in the Desert if your god does not decrease production there.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    School
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Library
    should be cheap enough that they're worth grabbing now. You may want to get
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Planks
    upgraded first.
  • Bar will start to be heavily used. Mountains will probably be the easiest to max out since Coal and Clothing will be in short supply.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cemetery
    can be built in the Grasslands to further increase
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Potions
    production, if needed. They cost quite a bit of Herbs and Bars so only dump your remaining resources, if you have any.

Level 80

New Upgrades:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Healing Centre

(

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Potions

),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Outfitter

( Clothing),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Repository

(

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Academy

(

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

) New Buildings:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Town Hall

(

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP

),

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statue of Worship

(

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Worship

)

  • With the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Town Hall
    unlocked you can now make
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP
    with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    . If you wait until Level 99, you will get an additional 15% Building Cost Reduction from the Township Skillcape. This will reduce the price of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Statue of Worship
    as well which also provides a 15%/25% Building Cost Reduction which is doubled during your god's 2x Seasonal Buff.
  • If you've maxed your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Planks
    production, start building all
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic Emporium
    s. You will need a lot of Rune Essence when you hit Level 100 and 110. Building a stockpile now will prevent any delays due to lack of Rune Essence.
  • Building
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Academy
    will help produce
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    and Coal if you're still in need of these resources.

Level 81+

At this point the Leveling process becomes very straightforward. Prioritize any resource that you need more of then keep building housing to maximize XP gain.

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Market
    s are something you should look into around now. They'll help reduce repair costs which should start becoming more relevant now that you're starting to max out some buildings.
  • With the Throne of the Herald Expansion you'll get another upgrade for just about every resource at Level 100.
  • At Level 100 you unlock
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cool Rocks
    allowing you to buy cool rock pets from the Shop. These primarily improve mining and smithing but provide 5% Global Mastery as well. These cost quite a lot of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone
    so building them with the
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Trading Post
    s are another thing you'll want to be building around Level 100-110. When all 150 are built, this will reduce trading costs by 49.5%
  • You can increase Rune Essence production after you've got the basic resources done. You'll need a LOT for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Large Repository
    .
    • Storage should probably be the very last building you build. Build them during your 2x season for decreased Rune Essence cost

Which worship is best?

Maxed account resources per tick.png

This chart shows the average resource per tick (hour) granted by each Worship with a maxed out Lvl 120 Town, Astrology, and all Pets.

For the early game and mid game, Aeris is recommended due to her larger amount of Building Cost Reduction over the other 3 starting gods. The downsides of worshipping Aeris, less Food and Leather, are relatively inconsequential since neither is a particularly valuable resource for Building/Leveling. The resources from each god will make a very small factor in choosing which god to worship.

Once unlocked, worshipping

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statue of Bane

or the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statue of The Herald

is generally recommended due to their unique seasons. Bane gives 50% Astrology Interval Reduction during Nightfall and Herold gives -1s monster respawn time during Solar Eclipse.

Spreadsheet used to create the Averages tables and has options to enable/disable Astrology and Pet buffs as well as set the number of Town Halls.

The Trader

The Trader offers consumables that are not available elsewhere. The best trades will depend on where you are in the game due to them having Township Level requirements and in most cases, Skill Level requirements. For boxes, pick whichever tier of box you need resources from. The exception would be Food Box I which provides more overall healing per Township Resource than Food Box II and Food Box III. Some key items of note from the trader:

  • Food: The Monster Hunter Scroll can be very helpful as one of the earliest ways to decrease the Monster Respawn Timer. The Ranged Hinder Scroll can be used to fill the consumable slot if you have no better options. The Food Boxes can also be used to quickly gather secondaries for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Pig
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Wolf
    tablets
  • Ore and Bars: The boxes can be used to quickly gather secondaries for the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mole
    and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Salamander
    Tablets. In addition, the Bar Box can provide resources to craft weapons and armor to be used for other summoning tablets as well.
  • Stone: The Melee Hinder Scroll can be used to fill the Consumable slot if you have no better options.
  • Potions: The Consumable Enhancer can upgrade some consumables and should be used when possible after purchasing major township upgrades. The Potion Boxes can be very useful for gathering large amounts of potions, especially potions that you don't have the Level for yet, or don't greatly benefit from being upgrade like Diamond Luck Potion I potions.

Boosts

Below is an automatically generated list of boosts that will speed up Leveling. However, none of the boosts are necessary to reach 99, and can be easily skipped.
