Weaving Workshop: levels, cost and upgrades

Weaving Workshop produces Cloth, the lowest of the five materials that go into crafting and upgrading hero gear. The steps convert four to one in both directions without loss, so one Tempered Steel equals 256 Cloth and stockpiling the low steps costs nothing. The building unlocks after Sanctuary level 5 and goes up to level 30. Up to 5 can be built. Levels raise: cloth Output/Hour, max Production Time.

Levels and cost

Reference levels of the building: what it gives, how much Might it brings and what the next step costs. Cost grows faster than the payoff: the last five levels take 79% of the total build time.

Level	Cloth Output/Hour	Max Production Time	Might	Cost	Time
1	5	8h 8m	500	Grain 9, Timber 9	under a minute
5	17	8h 40m	3,500	Grain 7,120, Timber 7,120	7m
10	32	9h 20m	6,900	Grain 115,600, Timber 115,600, Herb 61,820	1h 28m
15	48	10h	13,800	Grain 1,143,000, Timber 1,143,000, Herb 525,000	5h 33m
20	63	10h 40m	31,800	Grain 9,930,000, Timber 9,930,000, Herb 4,664,000	1d 5h
25	77	11h 20m	73,400	Grain 47,290,000, Timber 47,290,000, Herb 22,050,000	5d 12h

Full upgrade

Taking the building from level 1 to 30 costs Grain 829,742,117, Timber 829,742,117, Herb 405,897,880. Pure build time without speed-ups: 99d 17h, that is, about 3 months.

How to use it

Five Weaving Workshops at level 30 turn out 455 Cloth an hour, that is 10,920 a day. The materials convert four to one and one Tempered Steel equals 256 Cloth, so a day of output from all five comes to about forty-two Tempered Steel. Five workshops at level 20 give 315 an hour, two thirds of the top pace, and cost 22 days of pure build time against 498 days for the full upgrade.

In resources the workshop is the cheapest of its neighbors: 2,065,382,114 against 2,109,698,264 for the Smelting Workshop and 2,101,870,680 for the Epigraph Workshop. The saving is small, but the output pace here is the highest of the level: 91 items an hour against 62 for the smelter.

The workshop brings 31,800 Might at level 20 and 168,200 at level 30. Five at level 30 gather 841,000 Might, more than the Sanctuary carries with its 384,300, though they also ask for 498 days of building against the 398 of the Sanctuary.

The first ten levels take 4 hours 15 minutes and 826,614 resources per workshop, so all five reach level 10 on the day Sanctuary level 5 opens. After that the queue is shared with the smelters, and both sets of five are taken to level 30 last of all.
