Forge of Empires: Early Arc Strategy

Hint: This strategy could be used to obtain any great building from a higher level than your own.

Wow this video is amazing this information is just what I need.!!! The FP's are not a problem the easiest ways I found is to invest in GB's and reinvest until you make hundreds of FP's. But I didn't realize you could get the ARC Thank you so much JJ I'll ask my friend who has a level 100 arc about if he could help me get one too. P.S. I'm only in early middle ages so if you are smart you don't need to trade anything for FP's just give to peoples GB's and you'll make a profit.but... only if you are strategic in your FP donate. Thanks again JJ :D

Wow, the price for an Arc has come WAY down since I originally built mine 4 years ago. At the time, the going rate was anywhere between 300-800 FP's. I paid about 600 each time I built one. 200 would have been an absolute steal back then. Just goes to show how much the game has changed, and also how ubiquitous and standard the Arc has become. The supply of Future era goods far outweighs the demand now, with so many players swimming in higher era goods. 200 is still no small fee for an EMA player, or especially IA, but the barrier to entry is definitely much lower than it used to be, which is honestly good, since it's such an important GB.

I'm new to the game but I'm in HMA because I was chasing the tech tree before I started watching strategy videos on YouTube (sigh). Currently, I only have the LoA at level 2 and I have all the BPs for the Colosseum (which I haven't built) but I would really like an Arc (and Traz, and CDM, etc) but I'm a little confused when folks talk about looking for higher level friends. Do you just DM random high level people and ask if they'll help you build an Arc? Are people generally good about requests like those? I've been playing for about a month and a half now and so many videos use concepts that go above my head. Any insight would be appreciated about the actual mechanics of this method. For instance, in the video, you talk about promising 198 FPs in exchange for 1900 goods. I have never had 198FP at one time ever, so is this like a pay-as-you-gather-FPs kind of scheme or do I have to hoard FPs for the next several weeks before I reach out to someone?

TLDR: need this explained to me like I'm in kindergarten. TYIA!
