A layout idea, not a guaranteed savings formula

Keeping different Barracks levels can support a tier-by-tier promotion workflow. Use the actual promotion options and prices shown by your current client. Exact direct-skip availability and promotion scoring are not established for every account.

Separate training and promotion costs

The new-training table is not a promotion price list. Do not apply a tier’s full new-training cost again automatically at every promotion.

Before committing the next Barracks level

Check the tier you want, the queues you use, your active event’s scoring rules and whether the upgrade would remove a step you still need.
