Daily Life and Events
Use buffs before speedups
Before starting a long build or research
Check the castle management’s temporary build, research, and training buffs.
Start the task only after the buff is actually active.
Titles and temporary buffs are different
Do not confuse royal title appointments with the temporary favor buff you receive.
The temporary buff is described as lasting 10 minutes, but trust the time shown in the actual confirmation window.
Alliance Help first
Apply speed bonuses and Alliance Help first, then use Speedups on the remaining time.
Also check whether the matching items in Alliance Duel and the Arms Race overlap.
+100% speed does not mean 0 time
All else equal, speed doubles and the base time is halved.
A speed bonus and a Speedup item that directly removes remaining time are different things.
Intel and Retainer Management
Worker → Retainer overhaul in the Nov 12 update
Hoarding Intel can cost you
The number shown on screen, the storage limit, and the number of new missions generated are all different.
Prepare for the next scoring day as long as nothing expires or hits the storage cap.
Resources gained from Intel quests do not count toward regular gathering points.
Workers have become Retainers
One Retainer’s stats apply to all buildings of the same type at once.
You no longer need to assign 4 Workers to each farm like before.
Worker recruitment became Retainer recruitment, and the Worker Exchange was removed.
Hathaway and Derian stay the same
Hathaway (extra Intel chest) and Derian (hero Attack and march size) are unlocked right away at their existing growth progress, so you do not need to grow them again.
You must station them in your castle to get the effects.
Must-dos after the update
Claim the Retainer roster EXP from your mailbox
Use the converted Retainer tokens to unlock and level up Retainers yourself (right after the update, levels are reset so bonuses may look low)
If you have chests containing Worker tokens in your bag, convert them to Retainer roster EXP
Beware of old info
Statements like “Workers can be assigned 4 per building once it reaches Lv.15” are based on the old Worker system and are no longer correct.
Workers for gold, wood, and food storage were removed, and base storage limits were raised instead.
Some prefer saving Retainer recruitment tickets
There is an opinion to wait for the Alliance Duel day when using recruitment tickets gives points. Check the Alliance Duel screen for the items that actually count.
Check Wagon and Bounty limits separately
Tuesday and Friday scoring items
Sending UR Wagons and UR Bounty quests are Tuesday and Friday scoring items.
Check your remaining daily attempts and the quest conditions for those days.
Set up the Wagon before departure
It is stated that you cannot change escort heroes after departure.
Check the target reward, grade, and escort lineup first.
Pick the reward you want first for Bounties
Bounty rewards differ by type. Accept based on whether you can refresh and which reward you need.
Some quests have a red star and cannot be refreshed.
Bases, Wagons, Bounties, and ships are not the same counter
Check each looting limit and support count separately.
Even if something can be attacked in the game, that does not mean it is allowed under Server 85’s internal rules.
Joining the Alliance Cargo Ship
Start with boarding requirements
Check the dock unlock, time since joining the alliance, and alliance size requirements.
Each cabin has different rewards, so choose during the preparation phase.
Submitting many contracts does not guarantee boarding
Contract-priority boarding goes by contribution, but ties and capacity limits apply.
It is a different rule from the normal random queue, so read the current ship description first.
If you used Gems instead, note the refund method
If you do not board, contracts are returned.
Even if you covered the shortfall with Gems, it is stated that the refund comes as contracts, not Gems.
Displayed rewards and final rewards can differ
Cargo looted during the voyage is deducted from that passenger’s reward.
Check your escort before departure and the arrival mail and voyage log.
Golden Nest and event currency
Share a Golden Nest when you find it
Send guard troops and share the location with your alliance.
Teammates joining helps production. Check the slots and remaining time first.
Also check whether it ties up a march for long
Manage guard troops so they do not overlap with war or gathering prep.
Check the action, completion, and reward method on the encounter screen.
Check the carryover rule for Kingdom Fair coins
Shimmer Coins are stated to carry over to the next event.
Do not buy just anything when the event ends; check the actual rules and the items you want to exchange for.
Out of stock is different from out of coins
Distinguish daily limits, whole-event limits, and item restocks.
Buying more coins does not let you buy an item that is already sold out.
Do not miss Alliance Duel rewards
Personal chests and the alliance victory reward are separate
Filling today’s personal score does not mean you have met all the weekly reward conditions.
Check the required points and claim conditions for daily and weekly rewards separately.
Higher chests also need a research unlock
If you passed the score but it is locked, check the Alliance Duel reward research.
The number of chests on your screen may differ from someone else’s.
The week’s result is decided by victory points
The stated victory points by day are Mon 1 / Tue-Fri 2 each / Sat 4.
Do not judge the weekly result by simply counting the days you won.
Move after claiming the weekly reward
It is stated that leaving your alliance mid-week loses eligibility for that week’s victory reward.
The new-alliance contribution limit and whether you can get personal chests are separate rules.
