Mind Over Magic – Advanced Classroom Guide

This guide will show you how to move from the Intermediate Classroom to the special end-game classrooms in Mind Over Magic.

Advanced Classroom Layouts

You have two good options to set up your classrooms:

Option 1:

• Create one teaching station for each advanced classroom, ensuring that the room requirements match the endgame requirements (Grounded/Elevated/etc.).
• Pros: Transition from advanced to endgame is easier.
• Cons: Endgame room requirements can be challenging to meet early in the game, and it’s difficult to accurately anticipate the space needed for them (large luxury decorations are often required).

Option 2:

• Build a giant advanced classroom with enough space for all stations.
• Pros: Centralized location, making the transition from intermediate to advanced easier and more cost-effective.
• Cons: Transition to endgame may leave a big empty room, but this space could be useful for other endgame renovations like bedrooms or dining areas. It might also make it more challenging to optimize the location of endgame classrooms.

For the Giant Advanced Classroom Example:

• You can use stairs and an incomplete second floor to keep everything in one room.
• Alternatively, you can create multiple big rooms if fitting all 7 stations in one room is not feasible.

Intermediate Classroom -> Advanced Classroom(s)

Why the transition is tricky:

• In the middle class, you need a Learning Stone, but in the advanced class, you can’t use it.
• Advanced teaching stations for advanced classes can only handle one type of magic.
• It takes a while to unlock all the teaching stations.
• You need intermediate classrooms for certain medallions.

So, when you start getting new teaching stations, you might want to make an advanced classroom. But, your students might still like the old intermediate one. You can’t get rid of it because you haven’t unlocked all the teaching stations yet or need it for medallions.

How to make the transition:

Use groups!

Create groups for each magic type like this:

• Include all students in the “Member All Students” group.
• For each magic type, set up a group with the condition “Skill Capped type Is Not Capped.”

Make sure the intermediate classroom can welcome all groups that don’t have assigned teaching stations.

Whenever you unlock a new station, choose the station and pick your favorite teacher(s). Adjust student access to match the group, as long as students haven’t reached the skill cap yet. Afterward, go to the intermediate Learner Stone and take that group off the access list.

Your students will now choose advanced classrooms for their studies whenever possible. After finishing their advanced training, they’ll then finish training for the remaining types in the intermediate classroom.

Advanced Classrooms -> Endgame Classrooms

This part is not finished yet, but it’s kind of like before, except now the groups will use the endgame classroom instead.
