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 13m 3s 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 instantly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +1.2% | 104 | 3m 31s | 12,000 | 4 |
| 2 | +2.4% | 208 | 4m 34s | 15,600 | 5 |
| 3 | +3.6% | 312 | 5m 56s | 20,280 | 6 |
| 4 | +4.8% | 416 | 7m 43s | 26,364 | 8 |
| 5 | +6% | 520 | 10m 2s | 34,273 | 11 |
| 6 | +7.2% | 624 | 13m 3s | 44,555 | 14 |
Taken from nothing to level 6 that is 44m 49s of raw study and 153,072 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 612,288 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.
