← Temple: levels, cost and upgrades
**Temple** holds the plot of the three faction statues and serves as the way in to each of them. While the Warrior, Warlock or Ranger Statue is not yet built, a request for it arrives at the Temple. The building is available from the start of the game and goes up to level 1. Only one can be built.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Unlocks at | Sanctuary level 1 |
| How many can be built | 1 |
| Max level | 1 |
## Levels and cost
Reference levels of the building: what it gives, how much Might it brings and what the next step costs.
| Level | Might | Cost | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500 | :res-grain: Grain 12, :res-wood: Timber 9 | under a minute |
## Full upgrade
Taking the building from level 1 to 1 costs :res-grain: Grain 12, :res-wood: Timber 9. Pure build time without speed-ups: under a minute.
This building gives no stat bonus: it unlocks an option rather than percentages.
## How to use it
The Temple costs 12 Grain and 9 Timber and goes up in seconds, so at [[building-sanctuary|Sanctuary]] level 1 it competes neither for the queue nor for the thin opening-day stock. Everything else unlocked at that level drags on: the [[building-soldier-s-rest|Soldier's Rest]] needs 299 days 4 hours, the Sanctuary itself 398 days 20 hours, a [[building-farm|Farm]] 49 days 20 hours per copy.
The Temple brings 500 Might for 21 resources, and nothing in the city is cheaper: the [[building-residence|Residence]] gives 100 for 840 resources, while the [[building-lord-statue|Lord Statue]] gives nothing at all for the same 12 Grain and 9 Timber. Together with the [[building-hall-of-honor|Hall of Honor]] the Temple delivers 1,000 Might on day one. The same 500 comes from the [[building-private-stable|Private Stable]] and the [[building-alliance-stable|Alliance Stable]], yet both unlock only at Sanctuary level 11, ten levels after the Temple.
After that the Temple serves as a plot. The first faction statue unlocks at Sanctuary level 7, the second at level 11, the third at level 12. Each asks 299 days 4 hours of full construction and carries around 272,500 Might, and all three together 897 days, so the plot is not filled within one season.
Nothing here needs planning: the Temple has one level, no upgrades, and its 21 resources are spent once. From level 20 the statues open the [[hero-honor|Honor levels]], and the plot stops being only a temple.
