Cost, time and bonus at every level

Marketry runs to level 12, adding +1% to production_rate and 62 power each time. Studying it out costs the four soft resources — the same amount of each — and takes 34m 21s for the final level alone. Gems are only ever the optional instant finish; the study itself is bought with what your fields already make.

Taken from nothing to level 12 that is 2h 22m of raw study and 891,923 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 3,567,692 resources in total. Levels above 10 additionally consume an advanced forging material, one more unit per level past the threshold, so the last 2 levels also need the forge working.

Iron Realms is an original work of fantasy strategy. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any other game or franchise, and “Iron Realms” is a working project name rather than necessarily the final title. Its lore, names and artwork are original or used under CC0/CC-BY/OFL licences (see the in-game Credits). The community section also hosts unofficial fan tributes — quizzes and diversions made for fun, not part of the game — which name other fictional worlds under their own labels and are likewise not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to their rights holders.
