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.

• Faction Spell: Diamond Pickaxe Increase clicking reward by 25% per Excavation and "Faction Coin Find Chance" by 200% for 12 seconds.
• Spell Upgrade: Minedwarf Increases Diamond Pickaxe bonus to "Faction Coin Find Chance" to 300%.
  • Unlock requirement: Find 30,000 Faction Coins using Diamond Pickaxe in a single game. Only FCs generated from Diamond Pickaxe count towards this trophy.
• Heritage: Increase the production of all buildings based on the amount of Excavations you made.
  'Formula: $2\times (x^{0.9})\%$  where x is number of excavations you've purchased.'
• Bloodline: Increase the production of all buildings based on the amount of excavations you made.
  'Formula: $10\times x^{0.8}\%$  where x is number of excavations purchased.'

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 (1_E200) coins and 10 M (1_E7) 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.
