Strategic Usage

Efficiency Tip Always try to synchronize your upgrades. Start long-duration upgrades (like Stronghold or Advanced Storages) before long sleep periods or work shifts.
Storage Priority Never let your Storages overflow. If your resources hit the cap, your Mines and Farms effectively shut down, wasting valuable production time.

Alchemy Lab FAQ

Is the Alchemy Lab worth it in Empires and Puzzles?

The Alchemy Lab is niche but useful. AL10 (transmuting 4β˜… ascension materials) and running lower levels for Alkashards are the most popular uses. Requires Stronghold 23.

What are Alkashards used for?

Alkashards are earned as a bonus from transmutations. Collecting 1000 Alkashards lets you combine them into a random list of rewards, which includes a 4β˜… ascension material every 10000 alkashards combined on average β€” a great passive income for free-to-play players.
