Why no love for 2B? I know it uses iron, but uses fewer materials, so it is more sustainable.
It appears the cost and time per alkashard are the same.
Maybe i missed it

Thatās what Iām thinkingā¦ Craft herbs to health potions. Alchemise potions to 2star battle items. Getting loads of goodies negates alot of the cost. Loads of potions to alchemist further

Thatās what i am planning to do. Use 2B ( feed it with small health potions) and feed output into 5B ( everything I donāt need ) - 100 emblems in 3 months for food only( can do with iron as well doing arrows if i decide at some point )

So I just converted my Alchemy Labā¦I was going to chuck the food to research 1B as earlier information had that as the most efficient way to mine Alkashards.
So can someone just give me a Newb level overview on the top 3 Alkashard mining levels please??
Did you read the first post in this thread?

I didā¦top to bottom but I just confused myselfā¦so I was kinda hoping for the top 3 in a sentenceā¦you know āthe short shortā version
Hereās what Iām doing for what itās worth. Note the emphasis added in quote 2.

Please correct me if Iām mistaken, but this wouldnāt be self sustainable on a daily basisā¦ i.e 12 items come out of 2B per day, but 5B requires 14 items per day. So you need to supplement 2 @ 2* Battle items per day. Not a huge deal, but adds another calculation into the formula.
Correct- not fully self sustainable but works for me as am getting 2 3* battle items per day that can use - get rid of all 1* and 2* that I donāt need and donāt use and craft additionally with iron/food. At least is not only alkashard farming but am also getting useful stuff. For others it may not work. Can go for 10months on feeding 2B with small hp

Intrigued to see if this is sustainable for meā¦ ran some formulas, here is the cost per dayā¦ at 4.5 hours of food production cost per day, this seems feasible for item production and alkashards until herbs run out.
Edited for stupidity and correct values.

Food per hour seems too little - you havenāt maxed your farms and watchtower? Am doing 60K/hour only from those myself and generally with all loot per day am at ~3M food/ day
No, farms are 18, 20, adv 1, so got a little to go still.

So next noobish question.
Iām assuming like all other buildings I canāt be farming whilst Iām upgrading the levels?
Has anyone started a tracking project to pin down the % chance that the combining 1k alkashards results in a 4* mat option?
You are correct. No farming and building. You can research and farm. Just started my first research after finishing building level 10

Any idea of what I need to do in order to run 2 or 3 at once? Iāve researched 1A, 1B and 2B and cant even run 2 alongside one another?
Has to be at least level 5 to run two, I do believe.

Thanks for the quick response!
Sorry, only read the OP- Levels 1A, 2 and 3 are useless to research (like the other levels of TC) if going for max value/efficiency? Just double checking.
