Items could mean many things, if you mean: Permanent Items- Can be bought with actual money or with nobility, permanent items give you the pro banner and it also helps to keep your account from being deleted from inactivity. Pots- Help you win attacks and defense by adding an extra edge to your attack. Sometimes you need pots to defeat a certain eb(Like Haunting, need Seal of Deflection) Equipment- Equip drops from epic battles, and can also be bought from the Alchemist or awarded for completing special events, like the recent Fang Bow or by EE warring. This Thread will explain to you which epic battles drop which equipment. If this still doesn't answer your question, feel free to pm me and I'll see what I can do for you.

I'm a GH, do I make more money attacking HTE with 7.5m pot (44 dam a hit) or assassinating, NP (115 dam a hit)?
Your assassinations will make more a hit for a while into the unload, then your attacks will be more.
After you upload there will be a place where it gives you the link to post on forums. On PC anyways. Not sure how to do it on Mobile.
Does your plunder from allies increase due to the amount of lands you have, or the amount (and tier) of buildings you have?
