Town Improvement Rules 
Constructing a Building:

All buildings require three components to construct:  Stone/Ore, Lumber, and Labor.

To construct a building requires 20 units of Stone/Ore and 20 units of Lumber. Once these materials are available, it will take 20 units of Labor to finish the building. Upon completion, the town will have a basic level version of whichever building is being constructed.

Upgrading a Building:

Upgrading buildings can be done by committing additional resources and labor, with each upgrade step taking an additional factor of the base materials (so level 2 needs 40 Stone/Ore & 40 Lumber, then 40 units of Labor. Level 3 requires 60 of each, etc. Regular materials and craftsmanship will only take buildings so far, though, and in order to upgrade past level 5 the regular materials need additional special master-crafting materials at a rate of 1 per level past 5 (1 for 6, 2 for 7, 3 for 8, 4 for 9).  Once a building has reached level nine, it requires regular materials, master crafting materials (x5), and a single Grand Master material. 

Acquiring Materials:

Materials can be acquired in a variety of ways listed below:

  1. Gather Materials – While NPCing, a player can tell the GMs that their character is working in the mine or gathering lumber in the forests. At the conclusion of the NPC time, the character will be awarded 1 unit of the appropriate material per 1 hour of NPC time they contributed to the game (4 hour scheduled shifts will award 5 units).
  2. Materials may be found during adventures.
  3. Materials may be purchased from travelling merchants.
  4. Certain buildings will provide materials.
Providing Labor:

Once the materials have been acquired to begin working on a building, it takes the base labor force to do the building. This can be done in a variety of ways:

  1. While NPCing at a Sylvaris event, a character with a crafting skill can contribute 1 unit of labor for each hour they NPC (4 hour scheduled shifts will award 5 hours). 
  2. You may spend your IBGA working on a building. This will count as 2 hours of labor towards the completion of the structure.
  3. Any crafter may spend uses of their crafting skill at a 1:1 ratio towards upgrading a building.  
  4. An individual with Trade may expend levels of Trade towards upgrading a building instead of gathering resources at a 1:1 ratio (1 hour per 1 level)
