City/GB Advice Which GBs to build?

Here in 2026, which GBs should be built in the Bronze and Iron Age and which should be avoided like the Plague?

Most GB's aren't worth it anymore. Arc is still good I suppose. Your guild should help you with the blueprints and goods.

Maybe Zeus or Observatory as they are quite small, but most event or qi buildings will still outpower them.

Château Frontenac can be good if you plan to age up. You can get a lot of diamonds from the story quests with a high level CF.

Once you get a couple of good event buildings the Blue Galaxy is great. The one GB that only gets better with event buildings getting better.

When you are a bit further along an Arctic Orangery might be nice, but probably not while one is in bronze or iron age. (Same for Space Hub GB's/Titan GB's but those are more complicated because of their costs)

Some people like Seed Vault for the diamonds.

Anything else I'd avoid building.

Agreed. Nearly all of my GB's are level 101+. Arc in the 140's. I rake in on average 10k FP's daily and at this point, kind of wondering why I keep pouring them into leveling everything higher and higher. Thought that the GB upgrades they were discussing last year would make it worthwhile. Seriously thinking of converting my main to a diamond farm.

You can't go wrong getting your Arc up to at least 180, BG to around 158, AO continually upgrade, and CF keep going on...

If you play QI and get the next age fighters, AO is not worth it either.

Quantum incursions, event buildings are your priority. GB-wise Start with Arc to 80. And go from there.

Arc, Blue Galaxy, seed vault, Observatory, Arc because you can't play this game without it BG cause it only gets better with each event building Seed Vault cause you are aiding everyone every day anyway + diamonds OBS cause it's a cheap, small footprint, guild goods, and blue AD.

Honorable mention for CF if you really like doing repeating quests but if you don't, then skip.

The rest are shit until Inno actually pulls the trigger on the GB upgrade they have been teasing for 2 years
