Building Upgrades

In the world of MetaTrace, the growth and development of your territory are essential for success. A key element is upgrading buildings, which increases the level of the Trace Office and allows you to attack higher-level opponents, thereby expanding the gem rewards after victory. Each upgrade requires a specific amount of gems and comes with an associated cost, which scales as the building levels up.

The cost of upgrading a building increases progressively with each level, requiring careful resource management. Tracers need to strategize and plan their upgrades wisely to maximize the efficiency of their resources.

You can also skip the upgrade time by using your gems as a time boost.

3	200	5 min	15
4	350	10 min	30
5	400	30 min	90
6	450	1 hr	200
7	500	1 hr 30 min	350
8	550	2 hrs	350
9	600	4 hrs	700
10	700	6 hrs	1000
11	800	8 hrs	1500
12	900	12 hrs	2000
13	1000	24 hrs	4500
14	1500	36 hrs	6000
15	2000	48 hrs	9000

It’s important to note that the level of your Trace Office is directly tied to the upgrades of other buildings on your territory. Each level requires a different amount of territory upgrades.
