Cost, time and bonus at every level
The Ravenries runs to level 6, adding +1.2% to march_speed and 104 power each time. Studying it out costs the four soft resources — the same amount of each — and takes 6m 58s for the final level alone. Gems are only ever the optional instant finish; the study itself is bought with what your fields already make.
| Level | Total march speed | Power | Study time | Each resource | Gems to finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +1.2% | 104 | 55s | 3,000 | 50 |
| 2 | +2.4% | 208 | 1m 23s | 4,200 | 70 |
| 3 | +3.6% | 312 | 2m 4s | 5,880 | 98 |
| 4 | +4.8% | 416 | 3m 6s | 8,220 | 137 |
| 5 | +6% | 520 | 4m 38s | 11,520 | 192 |
| 6 | +7.2% | 624 | 6m 58s | 16,140 | 269 |
Taken from nothing to level 6 that is 19m 4s of raw study and 48,960 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 195,840 resources in total.
Where it sits in the tree
The Ravenries belongs to the Dominion branch — the statecraft line — roads, ravens, coin and the reach of your writ. It stays locked until Scouting Networks reaches level 5 and Post Riders reaches level 5. Nothing further in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf: worth taking for its own bonus, never as a stepping stone.
The road here: Agriculture to level 5 → Logistics to level 5 → Statecraft to level 8 → Roadworks to level 5 → Cartography to level 5 → Scouting Networks to level 5 → The Ravenries. That is 6 studies standing between a fresh Academy and this one.
| Prerequisite | Level required | Each resource | Study time |
