*REVISED* Modern Day KaW Handbook

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by -Kat, Jan 8, 2013.

  1. REVISED MODERN DAY KaW HANDBOOK
    Revisions include a Table of Contents, Photos, grammar and spelling mistakes fixed.

    Hey y’all and welcome to the revised version of Slayerbob’s revised version of Dillybar’s Kingdoms at War Handbook. This is exactly the same format that Slayerbob “Bobillan” (my nickname for him, don’t use it :p) used for his Handbook, since it IS his Handbook. Bobillan updated and revised the brilliant Handbook made by Dillybar and he thanks him for the work. He also is crediting him for this Handbook, the exact same one that I have been given permission to revise again. Permission was asked via not PM, but permission was given through PM. Photo attached of him giving me permission to make his Handbook better.

    DISCLAIMER: I do take ownership of this thread and the content. The content taking from DillyBar's thread has been re-used and edited by Slayerbob and then again by myself.
    I hope y’all enjoy (=
    DISCLAIMER: I will be adding more info to this, more than likely Slayerbob will help (I'll make him help if I have to xD) so wall him or myself if anything should go on it.

  2. Kingdoms at War Home
    First off, you will come to one of three screens...iDevice, PC or Android. I will give a brief where to find what on each (PICTURES!).

    The Kingdoms at War homepage is the page that pops up when you open the Kingdoms at War App. It has lots of information and buttons on it, and I'm going to explain what each of them lead to and talk about.

    FIRST OFF: iDevice
    [​IMG]
    The Top Bar- The Top Bar contains a lot of information. It has the number of soldiers you have out of your max amount of soldiers, the number of spies you have out of your max amount of spies and the amount of time until your next regeneration. It also has how much gold you have, how many Nobility Points you have, how many allies you have, and lastly, it has how many Buildings you have. This also gives you the tab to open your chat section. In the chat section it will have three tabs: Wall, Friends, and Private Messages. Your wall is clearly. Your wall! This will is a public view where everyone can see and talk to your or others. The friends tab is where you can talk to in private messages if you have followed them, and they did the same back (thus making you KaWfriends!). The chat tab is where it shows your PM's of whom you have been talking to (history). Finally, it gives you the settings. In these settings it allows you to toggle the notifications you have, AND see the users you have blocked.

    Battle- The Battle button is the top button to the right of your flag. Here you can search for a player or check the battle list. In the battle list these are players that are CURRENTLY online. With this, you can view their profile, and or attack or use a spy action on them. The players on here will be about the size of build you are. This list can be refreshed to find others to hit.

    Quests- The Quests Button is the button second from the top to the right of your flag. Here you can do quests. Also, you may receive a bonus for "mastering" a quest which is basically doing 1 quest successfully a certain amount of times. There is also a small chance of getting nobility points or health crystal from successfully doing quest. I'll say it again, a SMALL chance.

    Profile- The Profile Button is the button third from the top to the right of your flag. In your profile, you can check out many things.
    -The first thing you can do is, edit your banner! This will be your motto to Kingdoms at War. This has a 100 character limit.
    -The second thing you will notice will be the clan info; this will show you what clan you are in, and the title you have.
    -The next thing you will notice is the equipped equipment pieces you have, you can also click the view more button to bring up more equipment pieces and the stats received from them.
    [​IMG]
    -After the equipment come your latest achievements. You can click the view more button to view all, latest, or achieved achievements.
    [​IMG]
    -You will then come to your stats, this will include: Attack, Defense, Spy Attack, and Spy Defense.
    [​IMG]
    -Then is your ally stats. These stats are the BTA and BFA. BTA = Bonus to Allies (what most people come to by your combined stats). BFA = Bonus from Allies (the total amount of stats received by allies). You can also check out who owns you, your ally hire price, and plunder bonus to allies.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    -Next, Battle stats. These are all the actions you have done in Kingdoms at War, to and from players and or epic battles. The stats include: Fight offenses/defenses won/lost. Steal offenses/defenses won/lost. Number of Quests completed.
    [​IMG]
    -Scout offenses/defenses won/lost. Assassination offenses/defense won/lost.
    -Bonuses. This included your equipment bonuses and Pro Pack % bonuses along with your reset bonuses.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    -Clan Bonuses. The bonuses you receive from your clan by getting various achievements.
    [​IMG]
    -Below bonuses are Active Spells. These are your spells activate by the alchemist.
    [​IMG]
    -Items: This shows the number of said items in: Attack/Defense/Spy Attack/Spy Defense potions and Permanent Items/Other Items.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    -Last button: Reset. Self-explanatory.
    [​IMG]

    Leaders- The Leaders Button is the fourth button from the top to the right of your flag. Please view the Leader Section for more information.

    Clans- The Clans Button is the blue button on the left underneath your flag. Please view the Clans Section for more information.

    Forums- The Forums Button is the middle blue button underneath your flag. Please view the Forums Section for more information.

    Help- The Help Button is the blue button on the right underneath your flag. Here you will get help about the Basics, Chat & Forum Behavior, Allies, Buildings, Items, Battles, Quests, Points, Clans & Wars, Epic Battles, Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy.

    Chat- The Chat Button is the Speech Bubble close to the bottom right corner. Click here to access World Chat, Clan Chat, or Ally Chat. View the Communication and Slang section for more information.

    Home- The Home Button is the left button on the bottom row. Clicking on home will take you back to the Kingdoms at War Homepage.

    News- The News Button is the middle button on the bottom row of buttons. Clicking it will take you to your news. Here you will see when someone battles you (LOL), when an ally is hired or has reset, and clan info.

    Allies- The Allies Button is the second from the right button on the bottom row. Please view the Allies Section for more information.

    Kingdom- The Kingdom Button is the second from the left button on the bottom row. Here you can see what buildings you have, explore more land, build more buildings, upgrade your buildings, sell your buildings, and travel to high/lowlands.

    Marketplace- The Marketplace Button is the right button on the bottom row. View The Marketplace section for more information.

    Second: Android
    [​IMG]
    The top bar on the Android only contains the settings tab, and your messages tab. NOTE: You will not be able to view the list of blocked people on ANDROID. Smack tab in the middle is your kingdom flag, or if engaged in an Epic Battle...the boss picture! To the top left you will find your Kingdom outlook. Below that is your ally list. To your top left is the battle tab, below that is your quest line. Below your kingdom flag there are another five tabs. The left one will ask you for feedback. After that (left to right) is your marketplace tab, forums, leaderboards then help topics. ALL these buttons do the same as iDevice.
    Additionally...You can click you menus button on your Android phone. This will give you six tabs to choose from...Home, Search, Allies, Marketplace, clan and profile.

    Last: PC (computer)
    [​IMG]
    This will be much more complicated to explain...If you read all of the above it will make since and pretty much be self-explanatory. You have your top bar; from left to right here are the tabs that are provided: Forums -> Clan Events -> Top Players -> Top Clans -> Top EBs -> Link iPhone -> Logout.
    By clicking on the forums it will open a new tab for you on your internet browser and will bring you to your sections of forums. I'm sure you can guide yourself from there
    The last two things the Android and iDevices' do not provide are the Logout and Link iPhone features. Logout. Means you logout! When you click the link iPhone button, it will direct you to a different web page and you follow the directions to link your iPhone; simple right?
    You then have your name, flag, cash, and troop/spy level to your left followed by 9 tabs you can view of your profile: Kingdom, battle, quests, allies, supplies, alchemist, mage and oracle. Supplies = marketplace.
    Under your 9 tabs you will see three symbols...settings (this will bring up your blocked list and your main settings), feedback, and music (volume on or off).
    To the right of that is your chat bar. This includes: World, Clan, Ally chat. Click whichever one you want to view and it'll show up. NOTE: If on world chat, it will include messages from ALL chats, BUT you will be posting on WORLD chat.
    LAST THING: Your friends list, and messages. Sadly, this isn't in order; if you have a lot of friends and a PM...good luck finding it!

  6. Builds
    There are lots of builds in Kingdoms at War. Some are angled towards spies, some to defense, some to attack, some to money, and lots of other different things. I'll try to touch up on 9 of the most common builds.

    Attack Build
    The Attack Build consists of 24 Workshops, Forges, Subterranean Factories, Cursed Foundries plus 25 The Hatchery. This build will just about always win its first attack unless it is grossly under the enemy's ally stats. The only thing is you'll almost always lose when defending against an attack or a spy attack. Total cost to BC with T5: 4,699,000,000,000

    Balanced Build
    The Balanced Build consists of 24 Stables, Beastiaries, War Aviaries, Circle of Elementals plus 25 The Colony. This build will nearly always win in either attack or defense against a build; however it will usually lose against a spy attack. Total cost to BC with T5: 4,699,000,000,000

    Defensive Build
    A Defensive Build consists of 24 Barracks, War Cathedrals, Summoning Circles, Titans Lairs plus 25 Torture Garden. These builds will nearly always win in defense, but will rarely win in an attack. Total cost to BC with T5: 4,699,000,000,000

    Mixed Build
    A Mixed Build has so many variations. The most common one though is 8 spy buildings and 41 troop buildings. This build offers good spy defense and spy attack, as well as ok attack. Total cost to BC with T5: 4,770,000,000,000

    Pure Spy Build
    A Pure Spy Build Consists of 24 Guilds or Stronghold of Shadows plus 25 Votary’s. These builds will nearly always win in a spy attack, but have no attack troops. These builds are anonymous and serve well as OSFs but give out low plunder. Total Cost to BC with T4: 5,952,083,737,000

    Hansel Build
    A Hansel Build consists of 23 Guilds or Stronghold of Shadows along with 1 Troop Building plus 24 Volary or 25 Volary (if troop building is on HL and is T5). Total Cost to BC with T5 (Hansel): 5,880,000,000,000

    Tower Build
    A Tower Build consists of 24 Defensive Towers, Defensive Fortresses plus 25 Arboreal Dungeon. These builds have no troops; however, they are good for allowing free steals or scouts. These builds are very hard to win against in an attack. Total Cost to BC with T5: 3,855,000,000,000

    Turtle Build
    Turtle Builds have lots of different variations. A turtle build is any build with higher defense then possible with full troop buildings. This build often contains lots of towers and very few troop buildings. These builds are very rare. Total cost: Will vary.

    War Build
    War builds is for players who LOVE warring. These builds particularly have a lower income, but shouldn't faze warrers. These are the brutes of KaW who plan on taking all they can from you. Most war builds consist of mostly troops/spy buildings but with 8-9 towers. Commonly 8 towers, 1 castle, 6 spy buildings, and 35 troop buildings.

    *Please note that these numbers do NOT include the price of your lands.*

  8. Building Strategies

    There are many different strategies for building and exploring lands. I will go over what is the easiest method if you have a good source of income.

    So when you join the game you should build a guild and either a workshop, barracks, or stable. I don't really have any control over what you pick here because you probably aren't reading this before you play the game. If you are reading this before you play the game I'd recommend building a workshop on that land though.

    After you have completed the tutorial you should build workshops until you have 11 lands. Once you have 11 lands you should build forges on all of your lands. You should upgrade all of your forges to level 3 before exploring more lands.

    Continue building forges until you have Lowland Land Completed. Congratulations! You now have an option. If you have a very large steady source of income, you can start converting your forges to Tier 4 buildings of your choice. If your income isn’t quite so large, then I would recommend building Tier 3 buildings. If you plan on going OSF, I would recommend going hansel now.

    If you build T4's, I recommend keeping them at level 1. Explore lands and build T4 level 1's on them for your first 5 lands. Then you should upgrade all of them to level 2. If you had T3's, now is the time to convert them to T4's.

    When you have all lowlands, T4 Level 3, and have bought up to land 40; I would start replacing your highland buildings with T5 Level 1s. When you build the level 1, get enough cash to get it up to a level 2, at level 2 start saving for your next land. Do this until you have bought all the highlands, and start making level 3s!

    There you have it. The simplest way to make your way to HLBC.
     
  9. Allies/Volleying

    Volleying Allies Volleying allies is one of the best ways of making money. In order to volley an ally, you need 3 or more people. 1 person to be bought and 2 or more people who hire. How it works is player A buys player B and then player C buys player B then player A buys player B back then player C buys player B back. This continues until player B is at a certain price point.

    Every time you hire an ally, the price of that ally goes up by 5% As such, whenever you hire an ally and it gets hired away, you get 1.6% more gold then before. So as an example, you buy an ally that costs 100 gold. After you hire that ally, it costs 105 gold. The price continues to go up by 5% every time it is hired. The profit is now announced in your notifications when your ally is hired.

    As such, you can make lots of gold from hiring/volleying allies. Please note that it can take up to 2 seconds until you can re-hire an ally.

    Dropping Allies Dropping allies isn't worth doing. If you just bought that ally today, you will only receive 4.5% of that ally's price. The price of your drop will continue to rise however. The longer you own that ally (in days) will make the drop refund increase by 4.5% up to 60% (will take 15 days to get that %).

    General Uses/Benefits of Allies

    Uses of Allies- People use allies for a lot of things. You can use them for banking your money, volleying, getting stronger, and getting higher plunder!

    Benefits of Allies- Benefits of having allies are more money from attacks. That meaning you will receive ALLIED PLUNDER when you have a successful hit against an Epic Battle or opposing player. Another HUGE benefit is allies give you strength! This strength is determined by the magic number .02%. Yup, you will receive .02% of your ally stats tacked on to YOUR RAW stats. I.e. You have 1m attack stats. You hire an ally with 1m attack stats. Your raw attack stats is 1.02m.

    Max Plunder Having Max Plunder is the key to progressing in Kingdoms at War. In order to get it, you must have lots and lots of gold in allies. Plunder is the bonus from your allies. You can tell when you have max plunder when you attack an enemy, buy an ally, attack the same enemy, and your "bonus from allies" doesn't go up. Here is a picture of an attack.

    [​IMG]

    Some players like to think if you multiply your combined stat total by 5500, this will be the number needed in allies to obtain max plunder.

  11. Clans

    Clans are possibly the most important things in Kingdoms at War. I'm not going to delve much into clans, but they are very important to Kingdoms at War.

    Running a Clan-
    There are a few mechanics to running a clan. They are only available to admins/owners. Some are only available to owners.

    Joining a Clan-
    In order to join a clan, you must click clan then search then search the name of the clan you want to join, then click join. You then must wait for an owner/admin to accept/reject your request to join.

    Creating a Clan-
    You can be on any device to do this. Creating a clan costs 100 Nobility Points or 25 billion gold. Anyone can do this, and will receive ownership of the clan that you have created. *Make sure you are ready to run a clan. It takes lots of generosity and dedication to do this

    Accepting/Rejecting Applicants-

    To Accept/Reject Applicants Get onto your clan page, click on applicants, then accept or reject the applicants. Owners or Admins can do this.

    Editing Clan Page-
    You can be on any device to do this. Get onto your clan page and simply click "edit clan description" and then you can type in whatever you want the description to be. Owners or Admins can do this.
    [​IMG]

    Editing Titles-
    You can be on any device to do this. Get onto your clan page and simply scroll down to the member whose title you want to change, click manage, and then type in the title you want. Owners or Admins can do this, however only Owners can change Admin's titles.

    Making Admins-
    You can be on any device to do this. Get onto your clan page and simply scroll down to the person you want, click manage, and click set to admin. Only Owners can do this.

    Transferring Ownership-
    You can be on any device to do this. Get onto your clan page and scroll down to the person you want. Then click manage and finally, click set to owner. Only Owners can do this, and once done, they lose their ownership.

    Clan Announcement-
    In order to change your clan announcement, click on it and then type in whatever you want. There is a 90 character limit here. Owners or Admins can do this.
    [​IMG]

    Wars-
    Please view the Wars section for more information. **If you have low PC access, download the cloud browser app and you can manage your clan from there.
     
  12. Wars

    Wars are an important part of Kingdoms at War. Without them how would we settle disputes? In order to be in a war, you must be in a clan that is warring.

    Starting a War-
    To start a war you first must be an owner/admin of a clan. You must then challenge another clan. The challenged clan has 12 hours to accept the war or else the challenge is discarded. To accept the war, you must be an owner/admin of a challenged clan. It takes 3 votes for a war to be accepted (or less, depending on how many admins you have). It takes one vote to reject a war. You have 3-24 hours from when the war is challenged until the war starts. There are 3 different types of wars currently, a 8 hour, 24 hour, and a 48 hour. There is also now a Estocs Edge type of war (more information will be added about it when it is officially out).

    During a War-
    During a war the objective is to make as much plunder as you can. Also, whenever you attack someone or steal from someone in a war a certain percentage of how much you take is deducted as "war tax" and goes towards your clan's plunder. A picture of war tax is coming up.

    [​IMG]

    To view how much your clan has made click on clan and then view war and it will show the amount of plunder your clan has raised, a link to your clan's war roster, how many successful attacks, steals, assassinations, and scouts your clan has done, and how long is left in the war. It will also show the same for the other clan.

    After a War-
    After a war you can view how much plunder you and your clan mates raised individually. To do this you click clan, war history, details, player stats, and boom. Plunder raised by individuals. Also, IF your clan defeats the opposing clan, your clan will be awarded with mithril (used in the Alchemist).

    Estoc Trials!
    This is war system was created to give player's a bigger reason to war...and to not do system wars. System wars could be a lot of fun, or complete and total turtle wars (nothing really happens). During these wars the object is to score big, work as a team, and be ACTIVE. During these wars, each player has a set plunder score. This plunder score is earned by players attacking others for gold. NOW, assassinations and scouts will generate plunder, but barely any. Big things you should know:
    - KO's
    KO is when you completely deplete the opposing player's troop AND spy bar. This meaning you can completely wipe out their army. Doing so you will take a chunk of their earned plunder and add it to yours. By doing this you may lose MORE of your plunder (score) when you are KO'ed so be careful. When you are KO'ed you will not be able to be put back in the game for 15 minutes. Nobody can hit you, you can't hit anybody.
    - Tracking
    Tracking is almost a key thing in these wars. When somebody is KO'ed it will be announced in both YOURS'S and your OPPONETS clan chats. This meaning, they will keep track of your KO time and KO you (most likely) as soon as you come out of KO.
    - Coordination
    You will want to assign players certain targets, or keep certain players KO'ed. Be coordinated and don't go whacking people solo. You will need to work as a CLAN to win this, don't be a hero.
    - Self KO
    When you are getting attacked by several people, self KO a.s.a.p.! When you self KO you will lose part of your plunder score. But they will not gain any! Plus, if they KO you, you will lose more.

    Estoc's Edge
    This is the main reward from WINNING Estoc Trials wars. This is said to be an added spell you get when you win the war. This spell, or edge, will give you a % bonus to SELF plunder earned in ALL Epic Battles...and will increase your chances by said % to receive drops! There are 5 levels of this edge/spell.
    - Level 1. 25% Bronze
    - Level 2. 32% Bronze
    - Level 3. 37% Silver
    - Level 4. 42% Silver
    - Level 5. 50% Gold
    *******NOTE*******
    This spell/edge is NOT PERMANENT. This will last for 2 WEEKS. If you LEAVE or are KICKED from the clan you earned it in, it will decrease by ONE level, timer will not reset! If you LOSE an Estoc War, you will LOSE a level, timer will reset! If you WIN an Estoc War you will GAIN a level, and timer will reset! If you are at gold, you MUST war again within the 2 weeks for timer to reset! If your timer runs out...You will lose ALL LEVELS!!
     
  13. Getting Started

    Now, I'm going to try and walk you through the beginning phases of Kingdoms at War.

    To start off, do the quest "Excavate" until it is mastered. After that, do the quest "The Hunt for Treasure" until you are out of troops.

    After you are out of troops, select a target from the battle list that has a "good reward" and steal from them 5 times. Then find another that has a "good reward" and steal from them 5 times. Continue this until you are you of spies.

    When you are out of spies, sell your guild and build a workshop on the land. Also, buy as many lands as you can at this time and build workshops, stables, or barracks on the lands.

    After you have done this, wait until your troops regenerate to 400 at least.

    When you are finished regenerating, look for a player that has 400 attack and 200 defense. Attack this person 5 times. Regenerate to 400 troops again.

    While you are waiting to regenerate, find a different 400 attack and 200 defense player to attack. When you are at 400 troops again, attack this person 5 times.

    Repeat the above step continuously.

    As soon as you have enough gold to buy land, buy land. Build a workshop, barrack, or stable on it. Continue this until you have 9 lands. If you ever have to step out for real life, do the quest "The Hunt for Treasure" until you have 250 troops and then do the quest "Excavate" until you have no troops left.

    Once you have 9 lands you should start upgrading your buildings. Attack people or do quests for money and you should be fine! It would also be wise to get a spy building on your tenth land!

    Also, a good idea is to enter a referral code. You can find one in the referral code forums (see forums section for more information). Make sure that the person's code that you're adding offers a volley and lists people’s names that enter their code. Also, check their thread to make sure that there are no people complaining about not getting their volley.

    This guide, if followed correctly, should get you to 9 lands quickly and easily. If you want to learn more, I'd suggest looking at the "Making Money" section.
     
  14. Making Money

    The following is a list of simple and easy ways to make gold.

    Attacking-
    Attacking is the most obvious way of making money. If you attack someone, you get gold depending on how strong the enemy is.

    Stealing-
    Stealing is also an obvious way to make money. If you steal from someone, you get gold depending on how strong the enemy is.

    Being Hired/Volleyed-
    Being hired gets you some good money as well. Each time you're hired, you get gold. The amount of gold you get goes up every time you're hired, capping at the hire cost of 75million giving you 1million every time you're hired.

    Hiring/Volleying Allies-
    Hiring/Volleying Allies is one of the best ways of making money. Please view the Allies/Volleying section for more information.

    Wars-
    Wars have potential to make you lots of money or none and maybe some mithril. See the wars section for more information.
     
  15. Epic Battles-
    Epic Battles are currently the most common, and the easiest way of making money. In order to participate in Epic Battles you must join a clan that are involved in them. There are currently 7 Tiers of Epic Battles, 1 being easiest, and 7 being hardest. You will earn gold by hitting these Epic Battles, and if you beat the Epic Battle in the duration of it, you will be rewarded with gold and possibly equipment, bronze bars, potions, aqua/inferno or a treasure tomb! See Epic Battle Drops section
    Tier 1 - The Hogs - No special Drops
    Tier 2 - The Octopuses - The Reckoning drops *Equipment
    Tier 3 - The Trolls - Origins drop *Equipment
    Tier 4 - The Golems - No Man’s Land and The Destroyer drops *Equipment
    Tier 5 - Spooky Ghosts - No Quarter, City of the Dead, and Figure of Death may drop *Equipment, **Potions, ***Bronze Bars, ****Treasure, *****Aqua/Inferno
    Tier 6 - The Trees - Talons of Carnage, New Growth, Scionic Storm, and Sporavek's Revenge may drop *Equipment, **Potions, ***Bronze Bars, *****Aqua/Inferno
    Tier 7 - Dragons - The Barren Orchard, Terrain Travails, Crossing the Threshold, Cave of Riches, and The Gilded Lord may drop *Equipment, **Potions, ***Bronze Bars, *****Aqua/Inferno

    *Equipment -
    Equipment are attachments to your kingdom troops/spies that increase your stats. If the bonus is a stat bonus, this stat is worked out as BFA stats. If the bonus is a percentage bonus, this is determined by the strength of that certain stat. If your bonus is a 10% bonus to attack, and you have 100m attack strength bonus, it will be a 10m strength bonus. If you use many troops and your strength is 20m, your bonus for that hit is 2m. Certain Epic Battles drop certain equipment piece(s); no EB drops the same exact pieces.
    **Potions.
    All epic battles in the tree EBs, and dragon EBs will drop potions, additionally so will Figure of Death and City of the Dead. The drop on potions will be depending on the Epic Battle/Epic Battle series. No matter which of the epics you do, you will receive a set number of potions depending on your contribution to the Epic Battle. ALSO! If you have the equipment piece that drops in that said EB, you will receive better potions as a reward instead! Again, that potion(s) will be determined on which EB (contribution doesn't matter if you get lucky).
    ***Bronze Bars.
    Bronze bars is awarded with the newer and better potions from the statement above, GENERALLY. Most of the time you receive potions (awarded if you already have the equipment drop) you will receive bronze bars; there is also a chance you will only receive one of the two!
    ****Treasure drops. Treasure drops are very rare, and very awesome. Treasure drops are only awarded in City of the Dead, and Figure of Death. Contribution to the EB does not vary the amount of gold awarded, luck does. From City of the Dead, you can earn anywhere between 9b-13b gold. In Figure of Death, you can be awarded 12-17b gold.
    *****Aqua/Inferno.
    These two elements are awarded in portions of 1 or 3 from varying Epic Battles. These elements are needed in order to enchant certain equipment in the Mage. You can alternatively buy Aqua for 5 Health Crystals, and or Inferno for 7.5b gold. BEWARE! The mage may or may not enchant successfully! If you do not succeed in enchantment the element will be no more. Your enchantment may also break part of the already enchanted equipment and lose some stats...or all! Be cautious!
     
  16. I should've reserved a first page spot hen I had the chance
     
  17. Equipment
    Equipment is probably the most wanted thing in the game. To earn equipment you need troops, spies, and a little bit of luck! There are currently THREE different ways to obtain equipment.
    - 1. Epic Battles
    That's right, your money makers who make so much money, and drop helpful equipment. You can check the Epic Battle section for what EB's drop equipment...No, I will not be giving you what EB drops what Go find out by trying them, it'll be fun!
    - 2. Special Events!
    Summer wars was the only special event to happen so far, and my oh my did it give beautiful equipment. The developers told us there would be more special events so stay tuned! Only 3 equipment pieces have been awarded, 1 to the quarter finalists, 2 to the semi, and 3 to the champs!
    - 3. Buy it! Via Mithril
    The Red Paladins equipment is available for purchase! This is a set, and it is supposed to be an offensive equipment set. The equipment is bought in the alchemist, and is purchasable with mithril ONLY, so go war you EB noobs.

    Equipment is ENCHANTABLE!!
    What does this mean?!? You can make CERTAIN equipment pieces even stronger! You must have unlocked the mage to enchant your equipment however. You must ALSO have the required amount of Inferno/Aqua needed. Check the Epic Battle section to see which epic battles drop these elements. BEWARE: Attempting to enchant equipment may result in a FAILURE or RESET to your enchantment level!

    You may notice that your equipment will say +#% as your bonus. This will give you a % bonus to your current STRENGTH. When I say current, I mean how high your troop/spy count/total is. I.e. You have 10k troops and 20m strength in attack. You receive an equipment piece that gives you +5% attack. At full troops, your first hit will have a bonus of 1m! Just say you hit a bit and have 5k troops left. At THAT hit, you will get a bonus of 500k.

    You may ALSO notice your equipment will say a set number bonus. That bonus WILL NOT CHANGE DUE TO TROOP STRENGTH OR COUNT. This bonus is acted as BFA (Bonus from allies). You see your stats? Well that is your raw stats. Right? The equipment you receive gives a 10m bonus to attack. Take 2% of that number and add it to your raw stats and there you go! Your stats when you attack EBs/People/Quest!
