“View and store luxury items; namely Speed Ups and manuals”

General Information

• View and store luxury items; namely Speed Ups and Wall Manuals (Update of Nov18).

Speed Up

• Speed Ups are consumable items that reduce the time of an action in progress.
• Speed Ups can be applied to: University and Library research, building construction and upgrades, museum artifact unlocks, forest expansion/clearing, expeditions, and blacksmith research.
• How to get Speed Ups: in the daily league boats, and victory chests. Additionally they are available via sales.
• Speed Ups are consumed when used. Later canceling the action does not give the Speed Up back.
• Speed Ups cannot be split; using a time value longer than needed does not give time back.
• Archive building upgrades allow using longer Speed Ups. You can gain/store longer Speed Ups than your current building allows; but you can't use them until upgrading the building.
