Sanctuary level
Sanctuary 5
Tutorial · The First Candle
Sanctuary 1–8
To upgrade your Sanctuary from level 4 to 5, you need Walls 3 and 28 Clinic stars. It costs 19.7K Grain and 19.7K Timber and takes 10m before any speed-ups. It raises your heroes’ level cap from 15 to 25. It also opens the Antitoxin Workshop, the Epigraph Workshop, the Smelting Workshop and the Weaving Workshop.
What you need
To upgrade from Sanctuary 4 to 5.

What it opens
New buildings
- Antitoxin Workshop · my take: worth upgrading
- Epigraph Workshop · my take: when you have time to spare
- Smelting Workshop · my take: worth upgrading

It also lets 12 of the buildings you already have go higher. From Sanctuary 7 on, a building can only be as high as your Sanctuary, which is why the Sanctuary sets the pace for everything.
