How do I build the Mage's Hermitage?

[opi0938]

To construct the Mage's Hermitage, I need a roof decoration, but to create a roof decoration, I first need to build the Mage's Hermitage. What should I do?

There's definitely roof decorations you get before you need the mage's hermitage. The gargoyle, for instance.

Where can I find a gargoyle? I've completed all the research I can do, but I can't find a gargoyle anywhere in the construction menu.

There's a search bar at the top of the research screen.

Just type in 'roof', and then keep clicking 'next' to see all the roof decoration options.

Of course, I searched for "roof" in the research screen. But all the roof decorations require me to build the Mage's Hermitage first. I'm so confused 😭

There are several roof decorations that do not require the hermitage. Search again, and this time push the "next" button to cycle through the different research options.

Specifically, neither the weather vane nor the Bell Tower require the hermitage. In fact, the Clock tower is the only one that does require it.

In the case of the Bell Tower, it doesn’t require the Mage’s Hermitage. However, there are four prerequisite steps to research the Bell Tower, and all of them require the Mage’s Hermitage. Don’t I need to complete the previous research before progressing to the next one? Am I misunderstanding something?

Not so much misunderstanding as reading something wrong. None of the prerequisites for the Bell Tower require the hermitage. Left-to-right, only the right most column of research projects require the hermitage and pre-requisites are to the left.

I'm honestly not clear where your misunderstanding is even coming from, unless it's just based on what's in your research queue and you accidentally queued up something that does require the hermitage and you aren't realizing it isn't a requisite.

Make sure you don't need a researcher with a high skill for the prerequisites

Oh, I just realized what my problem was. The research wasn’t progressing because I didn’t have a teacher with Lightning skill level 3. Now I’m building the necessary facility to fire one of my teachers and hire a new one... Since I’m not a native English speaker, I had some trouble understanding the game, but thank you all for helping me!

You're right, the research wasn't progressing because I didn't have a teacher with Lightning skill level 3. Thank you all for your help 😭
