    Science pump

    I'm going to be starting a science pump and was wondering what's better, Armouries or Schools to make things cheaper? Or a combo of the 2? I have about 30% of my buildings to play with. Right now I have about 27% arms and I could run accelerated comfortably so I'm wondering if there's a better set up for me to get more bang for my buck. Any input would be great since its been a few years since my last age so I'm a bit rusty.

    why arent you factoring banks in there? banks can often times out pump schools depending on what level of sciences you are able to run. are you already running 30% banks?

    Yeah I'm still pumping elites atm but should be all set with them in a day or 2. I'm running 25% banks, would be more but since I'm a faery I have tog and thievery to cover and extra expenses. I was considering arms instead of schools cause my daily wages will be pretty high without them and wasn't sure which would save me more in the long run. so should I go high banks and schools then?

    I would very much suggest Banks + Schools over anything with Arms as the money saver.

    Remember to use ToG to your advantage. You can set your science level past your income and make up for it with ToG and stealing money.

    K thanks I'll do that. probably keep it running high when I'm around casting and stealing to make up the lost income and drop it down while I'm sleeping.

    currently I'm running:
    homes 10%
    farms 7%
    banks 25%
    arms 27%
    guilds 18%
    towers 13%

    Been pumping elites and exploring to around 1k acres. 65% DR going for 10 EPA and 4-4.5 TPA raw. I started late in the age so I have very little science. Planning on switching out the arms now and pushing banks to 30%. After I get some sciences I'll drop the towers down and put up some TDs. Any advice would be good, like I said I haven't played in a few years and am still trying to get back into the swing of things. Went T/M for the ease but I'm in ghetto so I doubt I'll be getting into any wars or anything.

    Magic isn't crappy. Mystic is crappy lol.

    Well there's really no need for the homes and obviously when you switch to a science pump you'll drop the arms. I would just say dump all the arms+homes into schools and you should be ok.

    id say go 30% banks and 25% guilds to make up for what you currently have in sci. you are in desparate needs of sciences. honestly, since you are still smalland have no sci, i think you should restart as faery/sage. two weeks from now you will be happy you did.
