Generation 1 pet
Kingshot Gray Wolf
The Gray Wolf is one of the three pets you get once your server is 54 days old, and its daily construction cut is the one that pays off while your Town Center is still the bottleneck.

What Construction Aide does
Cuts time off a running construction, once per day.
Level it early, stop caring about it later. The skill saves real hours in your first months and almost nothing once builds run on speedups.
With the main march the Gray Wolf contributes nothing in a fight. Its value is the daily construction cut, so it rides along only until a combat pet unlocks, and its level matters for the passive stat bonus rather than the skill.
Trigger it here:
- On the longest build in the queue, right after you start it.
- Before you log off for the night, so the saved hours run while you sleep.
What it costs to level

|---|---|
| Level 15 | 3,115 |
| Level 30 | 9,905 |
| Level 50, the cap | 28,865 or 28,875 |
The two databases I checked are 10 Pet Food apart on the cap, so both totals are shown.
At level 50 the Gray Wolf carries a 5.02% troop attack and defense bonus and 361,440 power.

Where it sits in the chain
- Becomes available after server day 54, once you have Town Center level 18.
Tips and mistakes
Worth knowing
- The cooldown drops as the skill levels, so the first few levels give you more uses per week, not just a bigger cut.
- It only touches construction. A research timer or a training queue ignores it completely.
Mistakes people make
- Firing it on a two hour build. The percentage is worth more on a two day one.
- Pushing it past level 30 while Bison and Lynx are still low. All three feed off the same Pet Food.
