I'm trying to get a my arc up and am looking for goods from the future, i am willing to give 1 forge point for each good. This would be a big help.I'm going to split this into 2 different ways to buy goods, one is utilizing ingame friends the other utilizes guild mates. Forge Points (FP) are one of the main resources in the game. Forge points are mainly used to research technologies and upgrade Great Buildings. A goods for FP swap is where you put in Forge Points into somebody's Great Building, and then they allow you to do an "unfair trade" These trades cost a Forge Point to accept someone else's trade (not to post your own trade) in addition to the goods requested. How do you advance in research in the Forge of Empires? You just click on research and spend forge points and goods to complete research. Yeah if you're in a good guild with sufficient trading and help to get new Great Buildings.
