A '''vault''' is the name given to the category of player-built structures used to store [[ExilePearl|pearled]] players or other valuables. Typically built out of a large amount of [[Citadel|reinforced]] obsidian, vaults are one of the most expensive structures built on Civ.
A vault is typically built at bedrock level, and consists of a single chest encased in a pyramid of reinforced obsidian. Often, additional fortifications are built to protect this pyramid, such as concentric rings of obsidian walls or [[Bastion|bastions]], or a nearby [[bunker]] to store defensive materials such as potions. A variant of a bunker, called a sky bunker, is often built at the top of a vault to protect against [[Skybridge|skybridging]].
A large ringed vault is often referred to as a "megavault", "gigavault" or even "hypervault" depending on the size. Ringed vaults generally take many hours to break, sieges against the largest vaults possibly even taking days. Vaults vary in size from the 4 ring former USA North vault to the largest vault on civclassic, Mir's Sanctaphrax, which contains over 30 rings. ▼
