A few buildings in the game are called "Helper" buildings. These buildings will give you one needed item along with their usual profits.

How do these buildings work:

1) items drop RANDOMLY from these buildings;

2) you can't receive from these buildings:
- Items needed for the crafts in production buildings, for example - Pillow for the production of the Sofas at the Furniture Factory;

- Items that you need to ask friends for;

- items that are produced in quests (for example, as in Lemonade factory quest);

3) you can receive from buildings:

- Items required in active quests, including quests with random tasks;

- Items for decors in the Academy of Magic;

- +3 energy, if you do not need items in active quests or for the Academy;
