Library

IMPORTANT: This Wiki is NOT for the Infernal Abyss (Facebook) or Necropolis (Kongregate) servers, you want the Dungeon Overlord Infernal Abyss and Necropolis Wiki. This article will be actively damaging for players not on the Classic server. A library in Dungeon Overlord is where Research is performed to learn technologies.

The research rate of a Library is determined by a combination of 5 things:


 * The number of warlocks currently researching
 * The research efficiency of warlocks can be improved by shocking (but only if you can support more researches than you currently have; i.e. 4 tiles per researcher not covered by Library level).
 * The number of bookcases, sturdy bookcases, and ornate bookcases in the Library
 * The level of the Temple in the dungeon, if one exists
 * The 25% research bonus that can be purchased in the Store
 * The presence of a Taskmaster.

The following things DO NOT increase research rate:


 * The level of your warlocks. This does not and likely never will increase research rate.
 * Any "extra" warlocks you may have. Time spent in the Den and Tavern is only for flavor purposes, and warlocks are considered to be researching 100% of the time as long as there is space in the Library for them.

You can increase the maximum number of warlocks that can generate research in a Library in 2 ways:


 * Every 4 Library tiles allows one additional warlock to accumulate research in that dungeon
 * Upgrading the Library will allow 1 or 2 additional workers per upgrade

Tile Cost: 50 Gold Per Tile Bonus: Maximum Worker Bonus: 0.25 Research Workers Benefits of increasing level replace the previous level and stack with the bonus from tiles. For example a Level 4 library (+4) made of 20 tiles (20/4 = +5) would yield 9 max workers.
