Lords Mobile research cost and time, every tree

Research is the longest timer in Lords Mobile, and the one most worth planning. The game has 297 researches across 16 trees, and finishing every level of all of them would take 174,692d 5h 26m at base speed. Nobody does that, but the per-tree numbers show where the time goes. They come from the same data as our free research calculator.

Time and might by research tree

Totals for researching every level of every research in the tree, with no research-speed bonus:

A research-speed bonus divides the time: real time equals base time ÷ (1 + bonus ÷ 100). A 100% bonus halves every figure above.

The longest single researches

These eight take the longest to complete from level 0 to the maximum level, at base speed:

Looking for one specific research? Pick it in the research calculator, set your current and target level, and it adds up time, might, the five resources and Technolabes. Add several to plan a whole tree.

Want one tree in full? See the Gear tree, the Wonder Battle trees or the familiar trees, each with every research listed.

Plan the timers, then the speed-ups

Once you know how many days a research takes, the question is whether your speed-ups cover it. The speed-up calculator totals them and compares against a timer, and the speed-ups guide shows what each size is worth in minutes and in gems.

Keeping research queued on many accounts is exactly the repetitive work a bot should do: see how Apex's farm bot handles research on every account it runs, and read the honest ban-risk guide first.
