Lost Arts
You must master the Lost Arts in order to access new types of Buildings and Units.
Construct the House of Scrolls to begin discovering new Lost Arts.
The more you upgrade the House of Scrolls, the faster you will finish discovering new Lost Arts. Discovering each Lost Art costs Gold, Iron and Food. The more advanced the Lost Art, the more expensive it is. The cost of discovering a given Lost Art will become progressively more expensive with each Mastery Level.
After a certain point you will find that you need to acquire a set number of Scrolls to unlock discovering on a specific new Lost Art. You will get a new Scroll from your Scribe every day you play, but you must have a complete set of specific Scrolls for a given Lost Art before you can begin research. For example, if you have 3/6 Scrolls for Runic Blades and 5/8 for Wyvern's Blood... you still can't discover either one. You can trade with other players for specific Scrolls you need... so in this case Trade 3 of your Runic Blades Scrolls for 3 more Wyvern's Blood Scrolls, then you can begin discovering Wyvern's Blood.
If you have discovered all Lost Arts that do not require Soulstones, you will receive a boost to your Gold and Iron production. Your boost will begin the day after you have discovered all Lost Arts. Once a new Lost Art appears, your boost will be placed on hold until you discover the new Lost Art; in which case the Boost will begin once again.

- which buildings and Units it grants access to;
- how many Scrolls you need to discover it;
- what effect it will have on your Units;
- how many Mastery Levels are available for this Lost Art;

Place your cursor over the "Discover/Upgrade" button to see how much upgrading or discovering a Lost Art will cost.
After discovering your first few Lost Arts you will need to begin collecting sets of Scrolls to unlock discovery of higher-level Lost Arts.
You will get a new Scroll from your Scribe every day you play, but you must have the complete set of Scrolls for a given Lost Art before you can begin discovery. For example, if you have 3/6 Scrolls for Runic Blades and 5/8 for Wyvern's Blood you will still be unable to Discover either Art.
You can trade with other players for specific Scrolls you need by visiting your House of Scrolls or your Market.

Lost Arts that unlock new Units have 20 Levels of Mastery.
The higher the Level of Mastery you gain in a Lost Art, the stronger its related military Units (e.g. to increase your Pikemen stats, master the Lost Art of Imperial Steel).
You can view the current Mastery Level at the top part of each Lost Art's window.
