Buildings

The structures in your kingdom provide various bonuses. Although Valkyrie Crusade is a game focused on card collection and battles, maintaining a proper kingdom is one of the keys to success.

Most buildings provide passive bonuses, while others require some form of interaction. For new players, knowing which buildings to create first will greatly aid them in the beginning of their career in Valkyrie Crusade as well as offering them long-term benefits for the endgame. Many building upgrades also offer benefits of Quest rewards which can include kingdom experience, resources, jewels, and other items.

Constructing or upgrading a building requires both time and a workshop. Players start with two workshops, meaning there can be up to two constructions ongoing at the same time. Additional workshops (up to five total) can be purchased with jewels. If desired, constructions can be rushed at the cost of jewels (the cost varies based on the amount of time remaining).

Initially, towns are very limited in space. Unlocking extra space can be done instantly at the cost of resources or jewels if the player meets the level requirement. Upon completion of Celestial Realm area 8-6 in the campaign, a Kingdom Gate may be constructed, providing access to a second kingdom for the benefit of extra space. In the second kingdom, extra space may be unlocked only at the cost of resources and require the use of a workshop.

Additional notes:
 * Buildings not mentioned above may be constructed at any time when desired.
 * It is important to gather the resources often enough to prevent the resource generators from maxing out. Resource gathering also provides experience points.
 * Upon level-up, Vitality and Battles Points are refreshed.
 * (Recommendation) Avoid spending jewels on finishing constructions, expanding the kingdom, or purchasing resources.
 * The main point of getting 4 Gem storehouses to level 7 allows you to collect 160,000 gems which will then let you Evolve LR cards.

Rebuilding to gain EXP
One of the easiest ways to gain Kingdom Level experience is to sell and rebuild buildings that give experience. Some of the best buildings to sell and rebuild are either the Relaxation Pond or the Amusement Area buildings.

The main benefit to building the Relaxation Pond is that there is no build time. you can grind 30 per build for only 3000 then sell your builds and start over. The experience you gain is limited only by the amount of tapping you can stand, and the amount of resources you've saved up. If you've leveled enough to build the Market, you can even exchange your other resources to Iron and keep going for a long time.

The main benefit of rebuilding the Amusement buildings are the high exp offered per building level, the generally low amount of resources required, and it's more "hand-off" than decoration building. If you rebuild the 2 best Amusement buildings, Fishing Spot and Maison de Maiden, all the way back to level 3, you can gain approximately 5000 every 6 hours for 162,000 of each primary resource (Gold, Ether, and Iron). If you rebuild them at level 1 only, then it will be a little more hands-on, but give about the same amount of experience for only 96,000 of each resource.

If you don't mind missing at least one of your Treasure Hunts, sell one and rebuild. The first Treasure Hunt level only cost 1 each of Gold, Ether, and Iron and gives a whopping 1exp with no build time. Level 2 costs 5/exp, levels 3 and 4 cost 10/exp and level 5 costs 20/exp. If you upgrade to level 2 and resell you will get the most experience per gem used and earn 1001exp per rebuild cycle.
