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

Locations


Logs

Construction xp is always 10
Guild xp is always 5

Sawmill	Character Exp.	Base Time
Martral	4	?
Galawi	5	?
Awaru	5	?
Hikori	10	?
Guild 1	5?	45?
Guild 2	5?	40?
Guild 3	4	35?
Guild 4	3	25
Guild 5	2	15

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

Construction xp is always 15
Guild xp is always 7

Sawmill	Character Exp.	Base Time
Martral	5	32

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.

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 at a time. However the timer is about twice as long as for other sawmills. 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.
0.5 Construction Experience per second

Level Req.	Stones.	Lumber Req.	Cost.	Exp.	Stones per Lumber.
0	1,000	500	100	100	2.00

60	500,000	150,000	100	?	3.33

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
15	1,000	1	2	1,500	40	250	2.00	2.00

45	50,000	3	8	75,000	70	9,375	2.67	2.55

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	1000
10	200 stones	3	1100
15	100 stones	7	1100
15	200 stones	5	1300
15	500 stones	3	1800
20	150 stones	8	2000
20	800 stones	4	2200
30	200 stones	9	2500
30	1,000 stones	4	2500
40	1,000 stones	6	3000
50	1,500 stones	7	3500

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.

Other Items:

• Super Catapult can be constructed at level 30.
• Trebuchet can be constructed at level 40. Apparently only by Odtoni, at Ravel?
• Heavy Trebuchet can be constructed at level 50.

Equipment:

Saws: Saws are not a necessary tool to work with but do give – time advantages.

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. They can however be built in any town even if normal houses can not be built there. It costs 500 Vessi to build one.
