Upgrade 8 workshops to level 8

[Scrounge Witch]

I read in a really old post that you can skip "mandatory" quests by ignoring them and they become declinable at the start of the next chapter.

Is this still true?

I like the balance (for now) of 6 workshops, 6 T1s, 5 T2s, and 3 T3s -- it worked well for me when I played in the past under a different name. I don't want to build workshops 7 & 8, and I certainly don't want to put resources into upgrading them.

Yes. It is still true.

Yay! Thanks.

That quest is one of the leading by the nose things. The game can clearly be played successfully with less than 8 shops. The Workshops aren't great uses of space and pop. I suspect the game runners have that quest, which is repeated multiple times, because they think it will make game play easier. I don't agree with them. In reality, with the long game view, I suspect the exact opposite is true. It's sort of amusing how often Inno does that. It's like they think double-speak is actually a productive leadership technique. It isn't.

Inno most likely has the workshop quest being 8 to compensate for not being able to craft and not having spire til chapter 5 where you'll be getting supply instants instead of PP spells. Also, the two early supply giving wonders don't come until chapter 4.
