Aetherium is a naturally occurring form of raw aether that can be extracted from magic-saturated stone in rare locations. The process of mining and extracting it is time-consuming.

— In-game description

Aetherium.pngAetherium is a guild currency used to purchase virtually all guild upgrades. Aetherium is generated automatically by any guild that has acquired a guild hall and completed the Mine Excavation 1 upgrade. A guild's current aetherium stock can be viewed in the bottom right corner of the guild panel.

Aetherium Capacity[edit]

Without upgrades, every guild has a capacity of 500Aetherium. Any aetherium generated over capacity is lost. The table below shows total capacity after each successive upgrade.

Tier Capacity
Base 500
Aetherium Capacity 1 1,500
Aetherium Capacity 2 3,000
Aetherium Capacity 3 5,000
Aetherium Capacity 4 10,000
Aetherium Capacity 5 15,000
Aetherium Capacity 6 25,000

Mining Rate[edit]

Without upgrades, every guild hall produces aetherium at a rate of 1Aetherium per minute. Guilds with leftover influence can buy an Aetherium Production Boost from Akeetha Stonesunder. This temporarily increases the mining rate of aetherium by 5%.

The table below shows production rate after each successive upgrade.

Tier Seconds per unit (with boost) Units per hour (with boost) Time per 1000 units (with boost)
Base 60 (57) 60 (63) 16h 40m (15h 53m)
