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 the name given to large player-built structures used to store [[ExilePearl|pearled]] players or other valuables. A vault is typically built out of [[Citadel|reinforced]] obsidian and is considered one of the most expensive structures a nation can create 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]].

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. Some consider the rings around a vault to be part of the vault itself. A variant of a bunker, called a sky bunker, is often built at the top of a vault to protect against [[Skybridge|skybridging]]. Depending on the number of surrounding rings, a vault can take hours or even days to break unchallenged.


Building and controlling a vault is considered an important step in a nation's sovereignty. Without a vault, a nation must either rely on other allied nations to hold their pearled players, or store their pearls in a less secure location such as a standard bunker.
Ringed vaults generally take many hours to break, possibly even 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.

Notable vaults include [[Mir]]'s Sanctaphrax on [[CivClassic 2.0]], with over 30 rings.
