Boosters: every price and what it does
Short answer
Boosters are what gold buys: rushes that finish a timer, timed boosts, and crates of materials.
What it does
Rushes finish a construction, research, binding or fortify now. Timed boosts like Overdrive and Peace Shield run for hours. Crates add materials straight to your stores.
Skipping a timer on its own costs 1 gold per 10 minutes left. The daily deal sells one booster at a discount.
