Resources & Equipment
Primary Resources
| Resource | Produced By | Key Use |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | Lumber Mills | Buildings and basic construction |
| Stone | Quarries | Buildings and research |
| Iron | Mines | Troops and equipment |
| Food | Farms | Troop upkeep — running out stops troop training entirely |
| Silver | Mansions | Most transactions, troop training, daily costs |
| Gold | Premium (shop/events) | Revivals, speedups, special items |
Critical: Keep food production positive at all times. A food deficit blocks all troop training.
Special Resources
| Resource | How to Obtain | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Tar | Wellsprings on World Map, chests | Crypt exploration |
| Valor | Combat: monster attacks, crypts, PvP | Research advancement (Academy) |
| Wellspring materials | Wellspring tiles | Special crafting and upgrades |
Resource Farming
In-City Production
Upgrade your production buildings (Farm, Lumber Mill, Quarry, Mine, Mansions) regularly — they are a consistent passive income source. Capitol level unlocks additional building slots.
World Map Gathering
Send troops to resource tiles on the World Map. Key tips:
- Higher level tiles hold more resources — target the highest level your march can clear
- Use Spearmen (Guardsmen/infantry type, 250 load) for gathering — Riders carry 200 and Archers only 100
- Equip a gathering-focused hero loadout to increase march load and speed
- Warehouses protect a portion of resources if you are attacked while gathering
Clan Resources
Joining a clan unlocks additional resource rewards:
- Clan buildings provide bonuses (Timber Harvesting, University, Masons)
- Clan research improves gathering and production rates
- Clan members can donate resources to each other
Daily Quests & Events
Complete daily quests and participate in events for reliable resource top-ups. These often reward Silver, Gold, and special materials.
Resource Protection
- Warehouses protect a fixed amount of resources from attackers
- Peace Shields grant temporary immunity from attacks — use them when logging off with large stockpiles
Equipment
Equipment is crafted in the Forge and provides stat bonuses to your hero and troops. Equip different sets depending on your activity:
| Set Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Combat / PvP set | Attacking players, PvP events |
| Monster hunting set | Crypt runs, Epic Monster events |
| Gathering set | World Map resource farming |
Craft materials come from crypt exploration, monster kills, and events. Prioritise completing a full set before upgrading individual pieces — full set bonuses are significant.
Gems & Enchantments
Gems slot into equipment to add extra stats. Enchantments apply further multipliers. Both systems scale with your overall power — invest in them after you have a solid equipment base.
Artifacts
Artifacts are powerful items that provide large bonuses. Types include combat artifacts, gathering artifacts, and production artifacts. Obtain them through:
- Seasonal events
- High-level crypt exploration
- Event milestone rewards
Prioritise artifacts that match your current focus (e.g. monster-hunting artifacts during Epic Monster events).
