Sawing:

Sawmills

Logs can be sawed at any level and yield 1 lumber and 10 construction experience
Hardwood Logs require construction level 20 to saw and yield 2 lumber and 15 construction experience
Higher level sawmills offer better sawing times but in exchange for less character experience
You rarely find Ambers while sawing either logs or hardwood logs

Logs

Construction xp is always 10

The Base Time is the time taken to saw a log at the minimum construction level (1 for most sawmills, but 10 for Awaru), when the sawmill is used by one person only, and with no item or magic enhancements.

Hardwood Logs

The Base Time is the time taken to saw a hardwood log at construction level 20,
when the sawmill is used by one person only, and with no item or magic
enhancements.

This may be the first sawmill you encounter. Random attacks occur when sawing hardwood if Glazed Swordfish are consumed.

This is similar to Galawi, but has a lower base time (i.e., faster). It's the same speed as a level 3 guild sawmill.

This sawmill is accessable only by faldorians and neutrals with at least construction level 10. It seems to be a slower than Martral but faster than Galawi. You can only saw logs here for 5 character experience. As a bonus you receive 1 chipwood every few logs sawed. There is no hardwood option.

This is an erfdarian only sawmill. Here you can saw 2 logs into 2 lumber for 20 construction experience and 10 character experience at a time. However the timer is about twice as long as for other sawmills. Minimum time is 15 seconds. There is no hardwood option.

Your guild compound may contain its own sawmill(s). Guild sawmills are similar to the Galawi and Martral sawmills and have various speeds and character xp.

Houses:

You need 100 Vessi to buy the land then you can add the required lumber to build the house.

You don't need to have the whole amount at the start and you can add as much lumber as you wish at a time even one by one.

Building houses gives no Character Experience.

Construction Time = lumber used * 0.4 seconds (minimum 15)
When building a house, you get 0.2 Exp per lumber used in its construction, as shown below. This works out at 0.5 Construction Experience per second.

All houses cost 100V no matter where you build them, so the cost column shows how much it would cost if you were to buy the required lumber from the wood shop at Rissdra to build each house. This should help you determine the relative value of houses up for sale and spot those that are overpriced. Obviously, houses larger than 25,000 stone may go for more than their lumber value alone due to supply being smaller.

Shelving:

In addition to building houses a constructor can also make shelves to add to a houses total capacity.
You need the original houses required level to build it + 15 more construction levels to shelve it.
A house may only hold up to 150% of its original size with shelving.
You gain skill experience based upon your skill level. (See the Chart Below.) You also receive 5 character experience for any shelf, no matter the size of the house.
Minimum time to shelve is 30s.

Level Req.	Original Size	Lumber per Shelf	Capacity per Shelf	Maximum Total Cap.	Skill Exp.	Lumber Needed	Stones per Lumber Gained	Stones per Lumber in Total	Total Shelving Exp

Boats:

Boats can be built at the Shipyards in Ferboi or Kimdar.
There will also be a 100 vessi licensing fee before you can start construction.

Warning: When choosing a boat remember that the ferry is a Speed 5 boat, so a Speed 2 Boat is 40% of its speed. And the ferry is very slow in the first place.

Level	Capacity	Speed	Lumber
5	100 stones	2	600
10	100 stones	5	1,000
10	200 stones	3	1,100
15	100 stones	7	1,100
15	200 stones	5	1,300
15	500 stones	3	1,800

70	3,000 stones	7	5,000
80	1,000 stones	9	5,000
90	5,000 stones	6	6,000

Boats are like houses that move; the capacity of a boat is what can be stored there and is not connected to how much you can hold while moving in it.

Weapons:

Catapults can be made by Odtoni constructors at the Siegeworks at Ravel:

Level REQ.	Item	Materials Needed	Skill EXP
30	Super Catapult	1 Heavy Catapult & 150 Lumber	S = 600 EXP F = 300 EXP
40	Trebuchet	1 Super Catapult & 170 Lumber	S = 800 EXP F = 400 EXP
50	HeavyTrebuchet	1 Trebuchet & 200 Lumber	S = 1000 EXP F = 500 EXP

Equipment:

Optional equipment gives time advantages. Note that there are two types of construction bonuses: Sawmill Time helps when sawing logs and Construction Time is for all other tasks.

Lvl. Req.	Item Name	Item Class	Item Slot	Effect
Construction 10	Iron Saw	Equipment	Tool Belt	-1 Sawmill Time

Guild Buildings:

Storehouse Headquarters Shop Kitchen Sawmill Furnace Smithy Crafting Hut Walls Flour Mill Sugar Refinery Greenhouse Blackjack Well Forest Billboard Fertilizer Hut

Level Req. = level needed of the highest constructor in the Guild to be able to build the building.
Size = Number of stones in weight that the building can hold.
Exp = Total Exp given to Constructors.

Also please note that Stone blocks are worth about twice the amount that Lumber is worth.

Guild Compound

(guild level 5 needed)

Not really a building but where buildings can be built, there is a max of 3 of these per town and each guild can only build one. Traditionally any guild could claim a compound from the Guild Stuff panel, if any were available, paying a fee of 500 Vessi. However with the introduction of the New Interface, a new system has been introduced for competing with other guilds, see Guild Compound for more information.

Guild Headquarters

(guild level 6 needed)

Level	Level Req.	Defence Bonus	Alliances	Lumber Required	Stone Blocks.	Exp.
1	6	+1	3	1000	2,000	400
2	10	+2	?	2000	4,000	800
3	20	+4	4	4,000	8,000	1,600
4	30	+8	5	7,000	14,000	3,200
5	40	+16	5	12,000	24,000	4,800

Note: the number of alliances is with a single HQ. Additional HQs don't necessarily add the same number of additional slots. How it works exactly is unknown.

* A level 1 and a level 5 HQ gives 6 alliances.
* 2 level 3s gives 6 alliances.
* 2 level 3s and a level 4 gives 8 alliances.
* A level 1 and 2 level 5s gives 8 alliances.
* 2 level 5s, a level 4 and 2 level 1s gives 11 alliances.
* 2 level 5s and a level 4 gives 9 alliances.

Joh (http://movoda.net/man/Joh) has the theory of the 2 lowest value HQs + half the value of every HQ = the total amount of alliances.
For example two level 3s and a level 4 gives 8 alliances. 6 from the two level threes and 2 from the level 4. This theory seems to come true for all except the final two which should (by my theory) have 9 and 11 alliances respectively.

brineweed says that's interesting Joh, but it's closer to the full value of the lowest level HQ plus half the value of the rest. It's still not exact, but it's never out by more than 1.

brineweed says here's a theory that works exactly. Take the normal value for the highest level HQ, and adjusted values for the rest: 1 for a level 1 and 2 for a level 3, 4, or 5. Would like more data to confirm or reject, and some data for the level 2 HQ.

brineweed says but somebody sent me a quote from mskwik, which says that 3 level 5 HQs will give more alliances than 2 level 5s and a level 3. That would contradict the above.

Shoaulin says if you take the normal value of the highest level HQ and add 1/3 of the values for the rest and always round up(unless you get a whole number) it works.

One unlisted difference between smithys is the timer. There is an 8 second difference between a level 1 smithy and a level 5 smithy. Presumably there is a 2 second difference between the different levels of smithy.
