The WorkShop

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The workshop allows you to create and upgrade gear for your hero. You will need to buy Wood (not lumber), Iron Ore, Thoroughbreds, Crude Gemstones, and Fabrics in the shop or attack NPC's for some of these items. Items are purchased in chests - fabric box, wood box, iron ore box, crude gemstone box, and riding rein. Each chest gives you 2-4 items when applied. You can upgrade different gear, including weaponry, mount training, and ring crafting. Each Hero Item you create adds either political, intelligence, or attack benefits to your hero once equipped. Also very important to note you can not demolish this building or your hero's will lose their Hero gear upgrades. I.E. No Building, No Armor, Period. Seriously if you have a city with a lvl 2 workshop thats as high as the armor will go.

First, here are the material and item costs. They are all 2 cents each:
(1) Iron Ore 2 cents
(1) Wood 2 cents
(1) Crude Gemstone 2 cents
(1) Thoroughbred 2 cents
(1) Fabric 2 cents
.....
(1) Lost Armor Script per research over level 3. I won't add this to the below material lists because it is a constant past level 3.
