Sometimes you have to be patient.
When I notice the Troll will buy some of the stuff I have on the Marketplace, I pull some down and sell it to use for production.
When your Army comes back from the Dungeon, you will have Gold.
New guys to the Game need to find this. I sent it to your friend.
If you are new and can not see part of the Game, it is not that the Game is Busted.
Now we have Level Restrictions.
Level 2:
Production, trade
Finally you can put your buildings to work.
Level 3:
Arena (pvp)
Now you can do Battles, win or lose at battles, you move closer to getting a bonus.
Level 4:
troll market, inventory
Finally you can sell stuff to the Troll.
You really can't see you inventory till Level 4?
Click Inventory, you see what you have.
Under each item is a bag, box, and magnifying glass.
You click the bag to sell stuff. Click the box to send a contract to another person, Click the magnifying glass to see what other guys sells stuff at.
Level 5:
Quests, imp dealer, Shop, soul dealer
Finally you can see your Quests.
Finally you can buy some Imps.
Level 6:
market place, contracts, Dungeons, research
Finally you can begin to Research stuff, do not research any Mech stuff. Use your resources for something that benefits you now.
Now you can finally sell stuff on the Marketplace.
You should be doing the 1 to 8 hour Raid to get Serfs to make Army guys. To me the Army was very, very important. I wanted 50 guys as soon as I could get them. It does take quite a bit of time.
Level 7:
daily speacial, maritimers, building/expand buildings
I never have souls to buy from the Daily Special.
I can't save them up, I always sell them for Gold.
You get souls on Dungeon raids, I don't buy them with money.
I have horrible luck at the maritimers, I never get anything useful. You can try it if you wish.
You need 5 each of the buildings that make stones, wood, and water first.
Level 8:
competition, announcement, successes, Trophy case, search player
Don't waste souls to make announcements. We don't have competition on the English Server, I will send you a message about Successes.
Level 9:
beast dealer
Finally you can buy Epics, I have never had enough Souls to buy one of those.
I have bought a couple you can buy with Gold.
Level 10:
guild
Now you can join Hawks!
Level 11:
Labyrinth
When you find all the trophys you can enter the Labyrinth, I found them at level 20 I think.
Level 12:
thunderdome
Really, You should be able to enter the thunderdome at level 1. You will see this choice in Battles at Level 12.
Level 13:
oracle
It doesn't matter when you can see the Oracle, everything there is too expensive to think about.
