portal prophets

[SilverbugLuxor]

probably a stupid question but if I don't use the portal prophets in this chapter they won't change for the next?

I do not know the answer to what your asking, but I thought I'd say this: as far as I know, there is no such thing as a stupid question on this forum. If you don't know, there is a reason. And for ever question, there is a answer.

Are you asking if you can save them and use them in a future chapter? If so... Yes you can save them..

Portal profit spells will always stay current with your chapter. When you change chapters, and when your portal changes levels, the portal profit spell will stay relevant to what you are in. By hovering over the PP spell, you will see a tooltip describing exactly what it will give you.

Yes I am moving from Sorcerers and Dragons into Elements, and did not use all of the portal prophets and I was wondering if they will change their value when I change chapters. So it sounds like I will just have to Disenchanted them

 

[shimmerfly]

If it were me I would save them for use on the upcoming chapter. They will still work. But it's your game

No. You misunderstood Bricabrac. They are not chapter specific. Each one provides the stated percentage of the portal limited goods of whatever chapter you are in when you use them. They do not become redundant in the next chapter, they stay current.

My bad, you are correct! I misunderstood

Portal profit spells

I am glad your post stopped me from posting a reply. I was gonna suggest Inno create a new temple that provides culture and pop, but only activates when it is adjacent to a dwarven portal. "The Shrine of the Dwarven Prophet"

The Portal Profit spells are always worth a set percent of goods. What makes them worth more or less in a chapter is what level your Portal building is when you use the spell. No matter the chapter, a portal profit spell gets you less when your Portal is level 1 versus level 2 or 3 or 4.

Oh, and if you are finishing Sorcerers now, then you are going into Halflings next, not Elementals.

I thought this at first, but the relationship isn't cut-and-dried. I was going to save my PP for after the portal was maxed in halflings, then I realized that by using it at the start, I could have my portal (and thus my production) maxed before I even started producing some of the goods to max it, which actually sped the chapter up more than if I had waited until the portal was at max level.

But that is just another variable. If someone only has 5 or 10 various portal profits versus someone sitting on a hoard of dozens. I have three portal profits sitting in my inventory, so no way in hell am I burning them before my Portal is at least level 3.

I only suggest you research, and do the math. It wouldn't even work for fairies, because leveling the portal uses non - portal limited goods, so doesn't help. But by my calculations, for halflings, early use yields a superior result

Yup. In constructs your production blows in the beginning, but at level 4 with max buildings using PP seems like a waste.
E.G. I can make about 40% portal fill in a day with buildings now, and I'm not going to toss 8x5% PP just to save 1 day.
But when I had level 1 buildings filling my portal would have taken a week, so jumping to level 4 in a single day saved a huge amount of time- far more than at the end.
In many cases, I suspect the best use of PP is to get the portal up ASAP to skip over those super weak production days.
