Pillars are decorations that give a one time Experience boost which in turn helps you level-up (faster).
You buy them with surplus materials in the shop - decorations (use filter:pillars)
Using pillars timed smartly can help you enormously. With the bonus energy of the level-up you can dig more.

Mega Pillars are 10x regular pillars. Currently only Egyptian Megapillars exist. All ratios stay the same.
Pillars are decoration and therefore only available on the computer versions of the game.
There will not be Terra pillars. Caravans have taken over the function.

Pillars (and other decorations) provide a one time experience bonus.
You can not get the materials back after converting them, so make sure you want to do it
(have you purchased all the capacity carts available to you?).
In other words, you are trading a set amount of goods, for a set amount of experience.
Afterwards pillars can be sold for coins.
Pillars are "Large" decorations. There is a limit of 10 "Large" decorations at a time in a players camp.
Players must sell or store their pillars or other "Large" decorations if they reach this limit in order to buy more. Make sure your decoration lock is off.
If your only focus is the experience, smelting bronze bars is a better deal than iron bars,
so if you have a lot of all the materials, always start with the bronze bars. Move to iron bars only when you use up all your bronze bar materials.
For players below level 100 there are a few other (limited) options

To purchase pillars a player needs to be at least:

Level 100 for Egyptian Pillars
Level 125 for Scandinavian Pillars
Level 150 for Chinese Pillars
Level 175 for Atlantean Pillars
Level 200 for Greek Pillars
Level 225 for New World Pillars
Level 300 and Atlantis region for Egyptian Megapillars

Converting coins into experience[]

Sending your caravan for apples and purchasing Apple Pillars with them is the best way of exchanging your coins into experience. Of course converting coins that way will take significantly longer.
It is best to combine with Golden Pillars and "Experience Caravans".

	Name	Time (!)	Cost	Experience	Material/Experience Ratio	Lvl	Note
	Experience Caravan	12 hours	4000	5000	1 coin buys 1.25 experience points	-	Only a limited amount of money can be converted in a given time period using this method

The problem is however, that large sums of coins cannot be converted instantly using them. Furthermore, it is now highly likely that a player will be gaining coins faster than the caravan can use them up, that's where the decorations come into play. Here are the best decorations to buy for this purpose.
A full list of decorations that convert coins into Experience can be found Here

Name	Cost	Sell Price	Experience	Material/Experience Ratio	Lvl	Note
Chinese Pagoda	1,000,000	10,000	1,000,000	1 coin buys 1.01 experience points	150	This method requires the player to possess 1 million coins. No smaller amounts may be converted.
Viking Vessel	1,000,000	10,000	1,000,000	1 coin buys 1.01 experience points	100	This method requires the player to possess 1 million coins. No smaller amounts may be converted.
Golden Coins Pillar	1,000,000	10,000	1,000,000	1 coin buys 1.01 experience points	100	This method requires the player to possess 1 million coins. No smaller amounts may be converted.
Abu Simbel	1,000,000	10,000	1,000,000	1 coin buys 1.01 experience points	80	This method requires the player to possess 1 million coins. No smaller amounts may be converted.
Linda's Lolipops	3200	130	2300	1 coin buys 0.75 experience points	52	This method requires "Candy-Land" theme.
Jungle Pyramid	18900	900	13500	1 coin buys 0.75 experience point	60	This method requires "Jungle" theme.
Mighty Micky	1100	100	500	1 coin buys 0.5 experience points	55	This decoration provides the best ratio out of the decorations which are easy to buy, apart from the level there are no other requirements.

To conclude this part, it has to be noted that it would be in the players' best interest to confine themselves to only two ways of converting coins into experience, namely, the caravan option and the decoration Abu-Simbel or the decoration Coin Pillar. In exceptional cases in which you decide you want to level faster, the other three decorations are listed above, choose the one that is available to you.
