Quick read
The economy is a dependency chain, not four independent buildings: Mithril feeds Fountains, Fountains produce Sacred Water, Sacred Water advances the Curse Lab, and Lab 30 opens the Altar.
Facts
- Blessing Fountain max level is 30 and each level adds 720 Sacred Water/hour in the Season 3 table.
- Curse Research Lab max level is 30 and reaches 10,000 CR.
- Protector's Field Levels 1–10 avoid Mithril/Sacred Water; Level 11 begins consuming both.
- Altar is a post-Lab-30 Protector-stat building.
BlackBar Gaming recommends
- Unlock all standard Fountain production lanes before pushing one far ahead without a reason.
- Use the Lab according to the next alliance CR target.
- Delay Protector's Field 11+ by default while Fountain/Lab bottlenecks still matter.
- Claim Alliance Center secondary-building resources manually when available.
Watch out
- Do not hard-code the full Alliance Center Goldust/hour curve; it has changed across versions.

Resource decision worksheet
Numbers below are examples derived from the published Season 3 tables in this release, not a guarantee of your live costs, bonuses or target rules.
Four Level 15 Fountains
Base-table yield: 43,200 Sacred Water/hour, or 1,036,800 in 24 hours if collected before the storage cap.
Lab 30 is not every gate
Published table: Lab 30 reaches 10,000 CR; Level 6 Stronghold shows 10,750 CR. The 750 gap needs another valid source or a different plan.
Field 11 competes
Published Level 11 row: about 561,300 Mithril and 557,900 Sacred Water for 50 more capacity. Compare that spend with the next Fountain or Lab milestone.
If the assigned target is CR-locked
Record the actual target requirement and a qualified rally starter. Buy a Lab upgrade only if it meaningfully closes that gap; otherwise keep production running, use an eligible leader under the live rally rules, or change targets.
If collection is delayed
Collect capped Fountains first. A theoretical 24-hour yield is not guaranteed income when storage is full; recheck actual stock before funding the next Lab step.
If Protector capacity is the bottleneck
Verify the current Field cost and the named war role that needs the extra capacity. Do not spend season resources on capacity without comparing the next CR and production milestones.
Daily checklist
Collect Fountains before the 24-hour cap.

Worked decision: a CR gate versus a Field upgrade
Example: the alliance is preparing a target whose live Curse Resistance requirement you do not yet meet, while Protector’s Field 11 would spend the same seasonal resources. First read the target tooltip and your Lab’s next upgrade cost. Prioritize the affordable resistance step if it unlocks the assigned target; otherwise fund the production lane that removes the bottleneck. Recheck before spending.
Fallback: if the next Lab level still leaves you below the live gate, do not claim that spending guarantees access. Assign a qualified resistance leader where the live rally rules allow it, or change the alliance target.
