Cost, time and bonus at every level
Marksmanship runs to level 10, adding +1.2% to attack and 78 power each time. Studying it out costs the four soft resources — the same amount of each — and takes 23m 43s 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 attack | Power | Study time | Each resource | Gems to finish instantly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +1.2% | 78 | 2m 14s | 12,000 | 3 |
| 2 | +2.4% | 156 | 2m 54s | 15,600 | 3 |
| 3 | +3.6% | 234 | 3m 47s | 20,280 | 4 |
| 4 | +4.8% | 312 | 4m 55s | 26,364 | 5 |
| 5 | +6% | 390 | 6m 23s | 34,273 | 7 |
| 10 | +12% | 780 | 23m 43s | 127,254 | 24 |
Taken from nothing to level 10 that is 1h 35m of raw study and 511,434 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 2,045,736 resources in total.
