Technology Development Talents: Long-Term Efficiency Guide

Introduction

Technology is one of the most decisive long-term power systems in Infinity Kingdom—and also one of the most unforgiving if handled inefficiently. Unlike buildings, which eventually cap out, technology upgrades continue for years due to the sheer size of the tech tree. Realistically, only players who have been active for a very long time—or who spend heavily—will ever fully complete it.

Because technology takes so long to finish, small efficiency gains compound massively over time. A 10% speed boost applied consistently across hundreds of upgrades is not a minor bonus—it is months of progress saved.

For that reason, every serious account should have a dedicated technology development talent page, ready to activate before starting any major tech upgrade.


The Core Technology Talent

Leaps and Bounds

  • Effect: 10% Technology Upgrade Speed

This is the only talent that directly affects technology speed, and it is non-negotiable. Any time you begin a meaningful technology upgrade—especially long-duration late-game tech—you should swap into a talent page that includes Leaps and Bounds.

Because there is only one tech-specific talent, this page is extremely flexible and can easily be merged with other daily-efficiency talent setups.


Integrating Technology Into a Daily Routine

Rather than treating technology as an isolated system, experienced players fold it into a broader daily optimization build. Personally, I combine technology progression with:

  • Gnome EXP farming
  • Enchanted Stone farming
  • Wishing Fountain prayers
  • Gold income
  • Building speed
  • Troop training efficiency

This minimizes talent swaps and ensures that downtime talents are always doing useful work. I use these talents whenever I am not fighting PvP, Sieging or otherwise needing Military Talents. I keep a Dragon Development Talent page and swap to that whenever I need to begin a dragon with resource node talents attached to it. Note that if you are max level immortals you can combine this with the resource collection points which you do not have in your dragon page, to get all the types. But for progression, this is my go-to default talent build.

Below is a breakdown of a combined Technology Development Daily Build, based on what I actively run.


Recommended Technology Development Daily Talent Setup

Massive Construction

  • 10% building speed
    Even though we are talking Technology here, buildings still matter! As default talents, always knowing you have the building speed buff active is great for quick progression, and this is a natural pairing with technology setup here.

Experienced

  • 100% bonus EXP from gnome camps
  • 4 charges, 6-hour cooldown

Included here because this page is both our default down-time build and I also use it for my daily routine (I do not need the Military talents to reduce troop losses on gnomes, if you do then you should do the daily routine setup with EXP and talents and other Gnome killing talents here which dips into Military. There is no reason to separate EXP farming from technology prep.


Plentiful Gold

  • 10% increased gold production

This is one of the most underrated downtime talents. Gold is consumed constantly, dragon upgrade and immortal boost levels and artifacts are all very expensive! Having this active whenever you are not fighting adds up significantly over weeks and months.


Divine Walker (or Safe and Sound if needed)

  • Divine Walker: Free AP attacks
  • Safe and Sound: Prevents troop deaths

Use Divine Walker if you are stable on high-level gnomes and want AP efficiency. Swap to Safe and Sound if troop losses are limiting your routine. Again, this is based on you like me using this as both your daily routine and downtime talent setup.


Leaps and Bounds

  • 10% technology speed

This is the entire reason this page exists. Always ensure this talent is active before starting or refreshing a tech upgrade.


Pleasant Surprise

  • Doubles Enchanted Stones from gnomes
  • Part of the daily charge-based routine

Enchanted Stones are a long-term bottleneck, and this fits cleanly into the same activation window as EXP farming.


Recruit Talents

  • Faster troop training

Since this page is used during downtime, improving troop training efficiency is always valuable, especially after PvP-heavy days.


Gift of Piety

  • 5% crit rate on resource prayers in the Wishing Fountain

Over time, this noticeably increases total resource intake. It is a classic example of a talent that looks small but compounds extremely well.


Glorious Return

  • Double rewards from gnome fights
  • 4 charges, 6-hour cooldown

This adds extra equipment and gems to your daily routine. Like Pleasant Surprise, it rewards consistency.


Well Fed

  • 5% reduced troop training cost

Another downtime efficiency talent that quietly saves large amounts of resources over time.


Effortless

  • Free attacks on gnome bosses
  • 5 charges, 4-hour cooldown

This talent is easy to forget, but free boss attacks are pure value and fit naturally into the daily routine.


Loyal Believer

  • 5 additional free Wishing Fountain prayers

Wishing Fountain value scales with volume. Extra prayers every day significantly improve long-term resource flow.


Time to Work

  • 15% increased resource production

This is exactly what you want active while idle. Any time you log off or shift into non-combat activities, this talent is doing work for you.


Remaining Points

Once the above is filled, additional points can safely go into the Military Tree or situational talents based on preference. At that stage, the core efficiency goals are already met.


Player Perspective: Why This Matters

Technology is not flashy. You do not feel a 10% speed increase in a single upgrade. But after hundreds of tech nodes, it becomes one of the largest hidden power gaps between optimized and non-optimized accounts.

Running a technology-ready talent page ensures that:

  • No long upgrade is started inefficiently
  • Daily routines stack multiple charge-based bonuses together
  • Downtime talents are always generating value

This is the kind of optimization that separates long-term competitive accounts from ones that slowly fall behind without realizing why. Make sure to have this along with e.g. a dragon development talent and a PvP Combat talent page – that is what I do anyway.


Conclusion Summary

  • Technology progression lasts essentially forever.
  • Leaps and Bounds is mandatory for efficient tech upgrades.
  • Because there is only one tech-specific talent, it should be merged into a broader daily efficiency build.
  • Combining technology, gnome farming, Wishing Fountain prayers, and resource production minimizes swaps and maximizes compounding gains.
  • Small bonuses applied consistently over months and years become massive advantages.

If you are serious about long-term account strength, a dedicated technology development talent page is not optional—it is foundational.
