Below are the costs to upgrade each level of the luxury resource on the Marble island.

Note: The time it takes to upgrade to the next level is determined by the following formula:

${ Build ~time ~in ~seconds = ( \frac { 14400 } { 1 } \times 1.1 ^ { Level } - 14400 ) }$
${ ~rounded ~to ~the ~nearest ~whole ~second }$
