Ensorcelled Endowment Spell

From SapphyreRosa

Ensorcelled Endowment is a misused spell. 

What it does... Gives you a 5% Culture Bonus

How is works... Cast is on a Culture Building. 

When does it work... It only will give you the 5% Culture Bonus on buildings that actively have a Helping Hand on it. In other words, if you do not see a hand on a Culture Building, you will not get the bonus. 
Best buildings to cast the EE Spell on... Culture Building with the highest number of Culture, because those are ones that get Helping Hands on them first. Or the ones you see the Hand already on. 

If you place them on low Culture Building, you are wasting the spell and never get the 5% Bonus.

Note: The Bonus does stack. The more Helping Hands you have on your city, the more Culture you have, plus the addition of the EE Spell stacked bonus. 

Tip: Mobile App is fastest and easiest way to give helping hands to all your neighbors in your World Map.

Gifting Goods

 Gift of Goods: 

Maximum ratio of 1:8 in same tier (max. game allows). it's a circular trade, ex. marble for steel, steel for plank, plank for marble. Cross tier trades (e.g. Gems for Marble) can be very helpful. They have a ratio of 1:12 (1 tier) and 1:16 (2 tiers) respectively. 

Amount to be determined by how much goods Gift Receiver currently has, as well as how much Gift Giver wants to give. Gift Receiver has to be the one to place the trades because it makes it 0 star trade, if the Gift Giver were to place the trades it would make it an amazing 3 star trade and risk other players grabbing before Gift Receiver can.

Fellowship Adventures

 From SapphyreRosa

The reasons for doing FA are:

To gain the latest Artifacts needed for the newest Evolving Building we all just gained from the last event, so that if you didn’t get all 9 Artifacts, you have a chance to gain 2 more from FA.

To have fun as a team and work together and help each other out. 

DO’s and DON’Ts

DO participate in FA even if it’s only minimal. Any help is better than none at all and you will gain prizes too.

DO squeeze in a Tent City, (Please read section on what’s needed). 

DO use and update FA Spreadsheet, if you can? Or Send me an update and I’ll enter it for you. Spreadsheet is helpful so that we can see what is still needed and not waste time on what’s not. 

DO stick to the Paths we are working on. We aren’t doing every path… There will be a separate message in mail called “FA PATH’s”, when in doubt or need a reminder, please check there. 

DO log in daily and place ONE Badge to insure you get credit each Stage. 

DON’T place Badges on Paths we AREN’T doing, unless you really have to and then it’s only ONE Badge.

DON’T use Diamonds to gain anything for FA, it’s never worth it.

DON’T place all your Badges in at once, within reason, try to leave some room for others to place Badges. Especially in Stage 1, we want everyone to have a chance to place on the path(s) we are working on. 

Most importantly… DO have fun doing FA.

Set Buildings

From SapphyreRosa:

Did you know that Set Buildings need to be laid out a certain way in order to get the most from it?

First, Set buildings are those like Moonstone Library or Air Traders, etc. where there are multiple buildings that need to be attached to each other in order to get the most out of it.

If they aren't chain linked correctly, then you will not get the chain effect and will miss out on some of what it gives. If you hover over each part of the set, if you see it's all lit or of some are grayed out. If it's grayed out, it means the above or that you are mossing some of the buildings to make it a complete set. 

To be able to see how it should be laid out, click on one of the buildings, go to SET tab, and it'll show you how it should look.
