Update: Today is the day. Level 80 Arc, the 4th on this world, achieved 186 days into this server. Managed to do the last 12 levels in 11 days. A tough slog that was made easier by hours of sniping to keep up the pace. I moved up to LMA almost a week ago, as my strategy moving forward will include selling tons of goods (having hundreds of thousands of HMA goods feels too wasteful to me, I'd like to monetize my goods). I'm already ready in terms of goods to move to CA, but waiting til after GE starts. Attached is a screenshot of my city. In it, you can see my total world rank and total points for those that care.

Edit: Since some are asking questions, I figured I'd update this post with all my GB levels at the time of my Arc hitting 80:
ToR - 2
HS - 5
Traz - 3
SMB - 4
LoA - 4
CDM - 2
Inno - 5
Zeus - 4
CF - 6
Oh man I moved away from this page and lost everything. No draft saved even when not closing the forum and you’re logged in? Uggh, I’ll start again.
My first question and why I quoted this post is because I have a similar layout and could get it closer to that with new GB’s without totally tearing down...but where are the roads in the back? I don’t see where the Black Tower, Traz, TOR, etc..are connected? I wanted to copy it.
For anyone else as well:
I’m about 2.5 months in. Total newb at the beginning. I found this guide a bit ago and started myself on a better path. Moved into a better guild and got top players on my friend’s list. This is the number one thing to do I think. After only a week of that I’m well on my way to putting up all the desired higher age GB’s.
I’m in HMA with about 900 FP in packs. I have:
LOA 6
SMB 5
TOR 2
OBS 2
CDM 6
Zeus 4
Mostly Alchemists, 5 SOKs, 2 Farms, Cherry Set, 3 Wishing Wells, Athletes Living that I didn’t place yet and assume I should?
I see WW’s not recommended. Has this changed at all now that the shrink kits are out? Mine are all shrunk?
I have a TS, but seems not so good?
I’m one print away from the Arc and after a couple swaps come in soon probably the same for the CF. Space is tight so I’m assuming CF first?
CF/Traz Goods are 350
Arc 1000
Inno 750
I think CF is my best first move and see how that goes.
While my guild is pretty good and does Arc swaps, I haven’t come across a guild yet that seems quite as advanced and organized as this guide implies one needs to be. They are generous with goods discounts for members, but I don’t see any free or discounted leveling of other members GB’s so far, but I am new.
To be honest I don’t think I have quite the dedication to do the full on rush to 80. I also stink at fighting and don’t have the desire to spend the time. Negotiating GE isn’t as much of a chore, but gets tedious after the quests which are tedious enough. So having said that I would like to get a Traz. Will this completely hamper me on a 7x8 expansion city? Not sure how fast that will grow with medals once I get the CF up.
My next question that I’m a little lost on is if I should start working on Inno at all or put a HS up? I actually use no cultural buildings at the moment and no decorations.
So I’ll put the the CF up soon...Definitely the Arc next?....but then what? Especially if I’d like a Traz.
Thanks for any guidance.
