Wonder Materials

• 

To upgrade your wonders, you need to fill up the demanded crates with different sorts of goods wonder materials. Wonder materials are gained by inventions (orbs) of Leonardo Da Vinci. To invent something for you, Leonardo needs your help. Your job is to gather enough gears to craft orbs. Gathering gears can be done in following ways:

• Your Architects Studio produces 25 gears
  
• Alliance Treasure Hunt rewards
  
• Capital incidents
• Events

Another way of gathering gears is to support other players filling up their crates. Just hit the tab "Help others" on the World Wonders screen to enter a list of support requests. You can support 5x per day - for every support you'll receive an amount of gears as reward. The amount of reward gears depends on what and how much you spend.

Once enough gears are obtained, an orb can be crafted by exchanging 200 gears.

After you managed to craft an orb, you can tell Leonardo to start inventing. Just tap the "Invent 1x/10x"-Button and you'll get some random rewards (wonder materials or blueprint). With these wonder materials you can develop your own wonders or, as mentioned before, support other players wonders by fulfill their requests and earn gears as reward.

If you're very lucky, you will receive a rare or maybe even a legendary blueprint! You will need 1 blueprint to unlock a world wonder. Once the wonder is unlocked, it will need one more blueprint every 5th level (Lv 4-> 5, 9 -> 10 ...) to upgrade your world wonder.
