Dwarf

**In-game description:**
*"The Dwarves make the best masons, artisans and blacksmiths in all the realms. Their creations will outlast anything made by other races... except for beer, that is."*
## The Dwarf Faction

The **Dwarves** were implemented as one of the Prestige Factions during the Underworld expansion (v1.2). They appear as an addition to a good faction, and enable the player to use a total of two faction spells as well as all the 18 upgrades from both the Good and Dwarf factions.
With their strong clicking reward upgrades, the Dwarves find it lucrative to work along with the click-heavy Elven Faction.

## Dwarven Unique Building

     At R28, the Dwarven *Blacksmiths* can be upgraded to a Unique Building: ***Dwarven Forges***, which is required for some challenges and research quests.

## Dwarven Research

Upon reaching R29, the game advisor tells us that the Prestige factions have discovered an almost infinite source of magical power: Prestige Research.

Dwarven Research is related to the *Craftsmanship, Divine* and *Economics* facilities. It enables one to acquire both Vanilla and Dwarven unique buildings, and combine their researches.

Each item below can be unlocked in separate game plays, and most only need to be bought once throughout the entire game play. The Unique building upgrade and the Horn of the Kings are the only ones that need to be bought each run and count towards the 'Bought Upgrades' stats.

To Unlock Prestige Research:

1. Uncover the *Earth Core* Artifact with any Faction, and gather enough gems to be able to buy the Secrets of the Underworld (100 QiSxg (1E200) coins and 10 M (1E7) FCs)
2. When ready, play a Vanilla faction (Good Faction for Dwarf, Evil for Drow). Choose one that will be able to afford the Secrets of the Underworld. Do not buy the Vanilla faction's Unique building upgrade until you have bought the prestige Trade Treaty.
3. Once affiliated with the prestige faction, buy their Unique building quest, Unique Building upgrade, and then the Secrets of the Underworld. With the latter, the research button and prestige research will show up.

After you have unlocked Prestige research, the Vanilla unique building and Vanilla researches can be acquired before purchasing the prestige trade treaty. Plan in advance to not use up all your RUS on Vanilla researches, as prestige researches only show up after you affiliate with a prestige faction.
