1st upgrade was 150,000 - take vault up to 410,000 and takes a week. thats with a level 10 lumber mill

[echus14]

Thanks Mr T. However, don't think the LM has any impact on vault upgrades. Have updated my first post accordingly.

Say bye to robbing over vault people! Grees killed pvp now :-( unless we get new mega buildings like MW

It seems logical the new limit of vault.
330 K looked very outdated. Good decision

[Pophai]

Good decision? Not in my opinion. Makes it easy to upgrade most of your buildings to 10 (exept Manor maybe). No more people overvault, less strategic thinking.

I am pretty sure we will see new gold buildings very soon

[Shinazueli]

You guys are missing the point. Even when it was 330k, after they released guild events, it was getting slightly difficult to find over vaulted targets. Not complaining about this. People are just more interested in looking now that there's another use for money. We all have had that feeling of opening someone's profile and seeing that magical number above 400k that's actually worth something. It was just starting to get rare to happen. Many had given up even trying with the LTQs giving stats that made it not worth their while.

Now, a new paradigm. Instead of forcing players to go overvault for their upgrades, and many players simply don't. Either they don't know that it's practically required to advance or they don't care because they lack the ability/strategy/funds to acquire that amount of gold. Now, Gree is allowing them to upgrade those buildings within their vault capacity. This does two things : one, it allows them all to get all of the unit buildings upgraded to maximum level. Yes, this kinda sucks for those who did it over vault. However, this isn't the same game it was when you did it. Dragons are obsolete, and even the new units are just band-aids compared to the LTQ units. And we've all had the bd10 for months, gaining advantages in boss fights and general pvp over those that didn't have it the whole time. 2, now with the new shiny 1.13* million gold vault, the vast majority of players will be able to upgrade their expensive money buildings, like manors and lenders. Right now I can find a dozen uncollected manors, given a short amount of time. My income from those gifts would significantly increase if those were all level 4 manors.

$0.02

Note that this is from the perspective of someone who completed his bd10 a while ago, so I'm not biased. At least not like that.

does it go higher than 490k? i got 35 hours left on my upgrade to be at 490 upgrading it again as soon as its done it it goes higher

[Shinazueli]

It will go to 1,130,000.**

Every upgrade will take 1 week and increase it by 80k, or a multiple of 80k.

It should take 10 weeks if all of them are 80k increases.

**courtesy of someone asking Gree and actually getting an answer.

Yeah I think it goes higher than 490k..Some confirm around 800k but others also said that it goes high around 1.1million..We'll see in the coming weeks

While I don't like the whole higher vault stuff, I am looking at the bright side of there being more higher level manors available to rob instead of crying because the new people won't have to fight for their BD10 (Now Gnomish Lab 10) like I did. Even if they get the top gold units without risk, they are still way behind me and I will be able to rob the daylights out of them.

exactly how I feel..
get to upgrading those manors, people! we want to raid!!

[boneshaker]

The vault increase means folks will have less raid-able gold (from being over vault) so they'll be able to upgrade buildings higher. Higher level buildings means better raiding. It's usually easier to take gold off someone stronger than you from their buildings rather than attacking them directly. So in this sense PVP will get better. It doesn't seem that randomly attacking people in the raid list makes any sense though. And everyone will have a BD10 now.
