Firstly, this guide was written by Radlonghammer and I am merely placing it in a thread for everyone to refer to for everyone's convenience. None of this was written by me.

Also, thanks to Slevinn who gave the idea to have a thread that contained a guide to help new players.



Things I wish I knew when I was a Noob


EARLY STAGE GOLD PRODUCTION (Important at L1-30)

Leveling quickly in K&D takes time and gold. Let's talk gold:

Many of us look back on the 75 gold from a Level 2 Fountain as laughable. Still, that 75 gold builds VERY quickly, and at early levels, provides the gold needed for the investments appropriate for the early stages of the game. The key here is volume, build as many of them as your gold and space allow. 8 L2 Fountains will collectively produce 600 gold every few minutes. As long as you're checking in on the game every few minutes, this is a great way to rack up gold early.

The flip side to this is that fountains stink at developing your gold stash when you're AWAY from the game. At the early levels, L1 guard towers are the way to go. Guard towers build gold more slowly than fountains, but they don't stop collecting until after 12 hours. If you're going to bed for the night, sell off those fountains and build guard towers in their place. When you're going to be checking the game every several minutes (just got off work or out of school and have some game playing time, etc), sell the towers and replace them with fountains. This will momentarily seem to set you back on gold, but you'll gain much more in the long run.

The moment you're racking up gold faster than you spend it is the time to start considering Taverns. Taverns build gold nearly as fast as fountains, and max out nearly as high as towers. A L1 tower takes 4 hours to build 1900 gold, and keeps you from having to take the time to tear down fountains to build towers, and is a great compromise in the early levels.

From here, it's time to start building training fields, and unlocking the more expensive castle expansions. Do this as early as you can without sacrificing your ability to craft and enhance your armors. If you have 80,000 gold, for example, you should probably go ahead and drop 50,000 on a training field, and leave 30,000 for armor-related expenses. That Training field will repay you more quickly than you think.

The importance of building the early stage (inexpensive) castle expansions can not be understated. Do this AS SOON as you can afford to. Don't wait to have a big pile of gold saved up, and NEVER leave an expansion slot empty if you can afford to fill it.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (Important at all levels)

Any time you're going to be away from the game for a chunk of hours (going to bed, headed to work, etc...) it's critical to quick leveling that you make sure the game is WORKING FOR YOU when you're away from it.

Here are some things you should always do before you put the game down for a significant chunk of time:

1) Use up ALL of your hit points: Whether you're farming materials, or trying to unlock the next stage, take this time to do some battling. If you die in the middle of a battle, just let the monsters heal (don't spend gems to continue) by simply X-ing out of the battle. When you come back to the game, the battle will still be active, and all of your knights will have healed, even if they were dead when you began the stage! This is a great way to clear tough bosses, gain experience points, and help the speed at which you level.

2) Put the construction crew to work: This is the time to get expansions and building with long crafting times going. You won't be tempted to spend gems on the speed-up process, and when you come back, your expansion or building will be ready, and you'll be a happy, quickly-leveling Knight

3) ABC Baby. Always be Crafting: Some armors take a long time to craft. Get these going before your head hits the pillow.

4) Put your Energy to good use: Use up any Arena Energy (for Arena Events) and any Epic Boss energy if appropriate. If you have at least 8 Epic energy, and can kill the boss with 3 of your knights and two friends, don't let that energy go to waste. Use it up so you can hit it again in the morning when you wake up to maxed Epic energy again!

5) Get the most out of your friends: You can hire 10 friends per day. If you've used less than 10, and your friend hiring abilities will reset while you're going to be away from the game, try to go ahead and use up any you have left. Once you've hired the first friend for the day, the other nine become a "use it or lose it" proposition for the next 24 hours. Try not to "lose it" too often. This is important to leveling quickly.

THE MIRACLE OF RESURRECTION (Important at all levels.)

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LEVEL BAR!!! One of the cool little feature of K&D is the fact that leveling up restores all of your hit points to maximum level, even when you're in the middle of a stage! If you're not exploiting this, you're not leveling as fast as you could be.

You should always take note of how much experience clearing a level brings. For example, let's say you just cleared Cold Rock Crags at the Valor stage, and noticed that doing so rewarded you with about 1/8 of an inch of experience on the Level bar, But took almost everything you had in terms of hit points to do so, and didn't level you up in the process. If you have 3/16 of an inch to hit the next level, the right play might be farming lower level stages until you KNOW FOR SURE, that you will level in the second to final stage of Cold Rock Crags. That way, you've ensured that you will level, and retained the maximum possible amount of Hit Points for other endeavors.

ALWAYS make the most of this feature. It is a KEY STRATEGIC COMPONENT in leveling quickly! It is also as important when farming the Ceberus at The Haunted Citadel (for Infernal Lord Armor) and the Dark Prince at The Kingdom of Darkness (for Dark Prince's Armor) at the later stages of the game!

REAL KNIGHTS GO ON QUESTS

Keep up with your quests. Not only do they teach you the fundamentals of the game, but they also come with rewards. The small amount of gold (maybe 200) and the small amount of experience (maybe 80) rewarded by a quest seems insignificant at the early levels. Most quests, however, have multiple levels. Completion of one typically unlocks another, with higher, more productive rewards.

The experience and gold from quests are important to rapid leveling, but quests also reward other cool stuff, like gems! And, sometimes the best thing that comes out of a quest is THE NEXT QUEST. Quests are almost never a waste of time!



KNOW THY ELEMENTS (Important at all levels)

All armors in K&D are based upon the five elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Each element has an opposing element against which it is strong, and gets a corresponding stat bonus. Commit these element advantages to memory AS SOON AS YOU CAN, and equip armors accordingly. If you have trouble committing these advantages to memory, try thinking about it like this:

It takes a darned long time for the waves to erode the shore, so: Earth beats Water!
You deal with a fire by drowning it, so: Water beats Fire!
The strongest man among us becomes weak when he is burned out, so: Fire beats Spirit!
With enough dedication, a properly motivated man can move the Earth, so: Spirit beats Earth!
The rain always falls in the direction that the wind blows it, so: Air beats Water!

MARCHING ORDERS / BRINGING UP THE REAR (Important at all levels)

When starting to play, your main knight is always placed, by default, in the starting position for any fight. This might be correct, but it also might not. Your main Knight will always have the best stats. Sometimes this will mean it's best to put him in your weakest armor, thereby equalizing all 3 Knights, and sometimes it will mean putting him in your BEST armor, and last in line, where you need the hardest hits against the stage boss.

Obviously, this relates to the above point about matching the strongest elements against each other. Simply put, PAY ATTENTION. Bring the maximum damage where it will have the maximum benefit. You'll get the most experience out of the hit points you have to spend, and will level faster!

Further, if you can expend all of your allies hit points, while retaining a few for your main knight, your main knight will be good to go again once all of your allies are at max power. This will cut down significantly on the time before you can face a tough stage again!

STATS TRUMPS STARS (Important at all levels)

This one has been covered many times in these forums, but it's so wildly important that I'm going to try to explain it in my own way. Every last one of us has made the mistake, early in the game, of wasting time and gold crafting and enhancing armors that aren't worth it in the long run, or are inappropriate for those early-mid level stages of the game, and the lesson we learned cost us the ability to level as quickly as possible. If you can avoid this mistake, you'll level faster than we did.

Never spend resources on leveling an armor before taking the time to understand what that armor will eventually be capable of. Consult the following spreadsheet for a comprehensive list of all armor stats:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AiQKRFnZ9_jpdEFtUUVnd2dQM1ZIX2IxT1RNZVlval E

Using this resource will prevent you from overestimating an armor the first time you see it. Just because something is new to you, and seems cool to have gained, doesn't mean it's not trash. We all wasted our time on an Embersteel or a Monk's Vestments, etc. Don't repeat our mistakes!

DON'T BE A CHASER (Important Levels 1-70)

There's a time to chase the best armors in the game, but doing so too early will stunt your leveling ability by causing you to inefficiently spend your resources. Get the "Big Four" L50 dual element armors as quickly as you can, but don't be in a hurry to get the L70s and level them quite yet. That time will come, but it comes later than you might think.

THE PLUS MATTERS (Important at all levels)

Don't spend any time/money leveling a non plus version of an armor beyond what it takes to unlock the plus version. Doing so is a waste of time, gold, and craftable elements. Once you have your mono element armors (Stonescale, Seafoam, DragonFlame, Mystic, and Wing Warriors) to level 10, STOP enhancing them, craft the + version, and level the + version instead. This will momentarily set you back in armor strength, but it's an important investment that will pay off later.

Do the same with your "Big Four" L50 armors. Don't level a non-plus version of this armor beyond the L15 it takes to unlock the + version. Craft the plus as soon as you can, and level it instead. That one step back takes you 3 steps forward.

THE BIG FOUR MID-GAME ARMORS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT (Important L20-70):

Get these L50 dual-element armors to plus version AS SOON AS YOU CAN, and dedicate your resources to maxing them out to level 50. They will serve you, and your ability to quickly level, for a VERY long time:

Atlantean Avenger Plus (Air/Water)
Crius Armor Pus (Earth/Air)
Hydra Hunters Mail Plus (Fire/Water)
Living Flame Armor (Fire/Spirit)

FIRST FUSIONS (Important L15-30):

All of the above armors can be reliably fused through the combination of easily crafted tier 1(basic) or tier 2 (mono element L30) armors. Your first efforts at fusion should probably be the following:

Atlantean Avenger = Slot 1: Basic Air Slot 2:Basic Water*

Living Flame Armor = Slot 1: Basic Fire Slot 2: Basic Spirit*

Hydra Hunters Mail = Slot 1: Basic Fire Slot 2: Basic Water.*

Crius Armor = Slot 1: Wing Warrior, Slot 2: Stonescale Plate Mail

* It should be noted that these basic armor fusions seem to have a higher failure rate than the Tier 2 Mono combos. If you happen to have, for example, Seafoam Armor (for slot one) and a Wing Warrior Armor (for slot two), this combo will more reliably create Atlantean Avenger than the fusion of the Basics. Same goes for Living Flame and Hydra out of Tier 2 monos. The spreadsheet linked above contains all this info in great detail.

By fusing these armors before you're even able to craft them through elements allows you to level them to L15 BEFORE you can craft them. Consequently, the moment you have the materials to craft them, you're crafting the plus version! This is HUGE, and will save you tons of time in leveling further!

BEATING THE EPIC BOSS

To gain enough material to craft the armor that the Epic boss drops is easy, cracking the boss at L15 will do it. To gain enough material to craft the plus version is MUCH tougher, you have to achieve approximately Boss Level 43!

There has been a great deal of discussion on this board suggesting that if you can't beat the Epic Boss enough times to gain the plus version of the boss armor, that fighting the boss at all is a waste of time. I'm not sure I agree.

It's easy to think of the Boss Armor as the only reward for fighting the boss, but I want to suggest that there are other factors that make taking a stab or three at the boss well worth the time.

Consider the current Epic Boss as I write this, "Dragon of the Deep." Now, suppose you are in the Level 55-75 range that would allow you, depending on your friends list, to kill up to approximately the Level 35 Boss. This is frustratingly close to, and frustratingly far away from the 43 kills necessary to score the plus level Boss Armor, but DO NOT lose sight of what you DID gain along the way.

In this weeks case, you gained 18 Wing Warrior Armors (9000 gold value and 9 hours time value), 13 Snakeskin Armors (39,000 gold value and 26 hours time value), 3 silver keys, 4 gold keys, 4 gems, and some pretty meaningful piles of gold and experience.

In other words, at the levels where you can NOT beat the Boss 43 times, the rewards for trying and missing are still tasty enough to make it worth trying. DO NOT get so caught up in the desire for instant gratification that you screw yourself out of this goodness!

I repeat, all credits go to Radlonghammer for making this guide.

This MUST be linked to and described as a 'MUST READ' for newbies in the FAQ. So much invaluable information here that will turn you from an average newbie playing a game to a newbie with endgame potential and knowledge.

I wonder how far I would be into the game right now if I had joined the forum prior to level 30.

Sticky-worthy! This summed up is a great benefit for new players.

Few small pointers:

"It takes a darned long time for the waves to erode the shore, so: Earth beats Water!"
This is a lie, a foul lie! (air instead of water)

"With enough dedication, a properly motivated man can move the Earth, so: Spirit beats Earth!"
Do you mean can move mountains? :p

"Your first efforts at fusion should probably be the following:"
I think Crius should be in second place rather than fourth, as it's the second armor you can craft following the story.


Another slightly bigger thing is I kinda disagree about the fountains/guard towers. I would personally just build fountains everywhere (since they're free anyway), but start replacing them with cathedrals ASAP. Cathedrals you have to check only once per hour, but gain 500 gold/h, which is 3 times as much as guard towers. If you leave your device for 9 hours, guard towers would have only gained you 1000 gold more. This is easily made up for during the day as fountains waste time/money after 5 minutes already. Saves a lot of effort in the overnight buying/selling and probably gains more money too, for a small fee of 1000 gold each.

Eitherway, this guide should be a great help to a lot of people, nice job. :) (you both)

Now we are discussing ideas to make a guide where Rad's contribution is the first intel. However we must compress this a little bit to give first time players (and everyone else) a good summary. I'm willing to contribute since I got a lot of experience and I'm 110+ now

The most important thing that I missed as a newbie was the ability to run away in the middle of a fight. That should go near the top of any beginner's guide:

"If you see that you're going to lose a fight, tap the red X in the top corner of the screen immediately! This will save your remaining hit points, and your progress up to that stage. You can wait for your hit points to fill up and return to the same fight. (The monsters will heal, too, but you won't have to re-do the earlier stages.) If you had friends with you, they won't heal, but you won't need to re-hire them. The special attack bar will retain its fullness, so you can also use this to make sure you get the drops from a boss: if you see that your bar won't be full when you reach the boss, kill minions, run away, then come back and kill the minions again to fill your bar.

Important note: if one or more of your knights are dead, they will not revive for that fight until your other knights in the fight reach full health."

Hmm I think the reviving part is dependent on the last member. If the last party member's hp is full the whole party revives even if your main is not at 100% it can join the fight.

Let's say if you have your main in the last slot the whole party won't revive unless it reaches 100% hp. But if you have a regular knight and it reaches 100% even if your main is not fully healed it gets revived.

Again I'm not 100% sure as I'm not the kinda person that takes note of this kinda things but I guess it's worth to check it out.

Good one, especially the special attack bar tip woulda saved me a lot of raging if I knew this from early on!

Very nice, thankfully i did flip through the threads and stumble along Rad's guide and it did help me out a great deal.
However i feel the title should be tweaked a little. It looks like a story title as compare to something that screams NOOBS CLICK ME! I'd probably ignore the thread and click on the questions thread anyway. :/

I didn't quit playing, man! Just took a vacation.

I've been on a 7 day cruise that took myself and my family to Honduras, Belize, and Mexico. I've had tons of beer, rum, and tequila, some great food, and seen a lot of knightlets in bikini armor.

Just getting around to catching up on the game and the forums today. It's good to be back, but it was nice to be gone too!

Just like to thank you for the guide Rad, I've only been playing 2 days and I just read it about 30 minutes ago but it's already helped me out extensively. Sold all 4 of my guard towers and I'm racking in the money thus far. 8 Fountains 1 Crystal Observatory, 2 Armor smiths a Cathedral and a Tavern. Also got the chance chest. Although not sure if I could of avoided getting it.

The only thing I didn't understand so far in your guide is about getting the + armors, you have to level an Uncommon armor to +5 before you UNLOCK the + version craft?

I'm currently around level 22 and have some of the big 4 and getting them close to level 15 to unlock plus versions... Is the only way to make the plus type armors by crafting, or can I repeat the fusion and get a + version of the armor.

I know everyone is going on about the big 4 armours, now my question is, say I have both Jian battlegear and hydra hunter+, am I still better of getting HH+ maxed out?

Jian is better than hydra+ by about 300 attack. Bear in mind that a 70 armor, jian, takes around 3mil to max. Hydra on the other hand, is much easier. It's up to you whether or not you want to spend extra gold, time and resources to get an extra 300 attack.

Bayglez
07-04-2013, 12:43 AM
So I guess it's better of getting the big 4 maxed even though the legendaries have better stats. Just because they're easier to max and will get you out of trouble for any stage

I skipped Crius because I acquired an epic boss armor (Tortoise Dragon) that had the same elements, but I didn't get the +version. I should probably have gone with Crius anyway, and ignored the Boss armor. Until you can get the + version, and max it out, the Epic Boss armors don't pay their way.

As a comparison, I have got two sets of AA+ maxed, and am using them against the current Ancient Dragon boss. They got me to level 15 with no serious worries without resorting to friends (level 15 I used 3 knights, the third one in my weakest wind armor didn't need to fight). My toon is level 102, but 100 maxes out your stats.

Thanks for that info, I think I'll start maxing the big 4.

I initially thought summoning bosses would summon them to fight alongside you; ignorance is bliss. Also no matter how tempting it might be, I wouldn't waste gems on special chests. 3x the chance of a legendary just mean .0003% chance as opposed to .0001%...

Get training grounds up and running asap. A good gold foundation is more important than armors.

Try using snake skin armor. Takes longer but far cheaper.

I usually keep a stockpiled snakeskin armors and leave 4 slots open for basis. I keep farmin more snake skin mats for crating later. Use basics still it gets too expensive for you and then switch to snakeskin.

One question on that. While Snakeskin work fine for regular enhancing armors, time-critical stuff like the Dragon armors right now seem to favor strongly using non-craftable fusion armors.

However, obviously, even if I can produce enough gold to pay for the fusion, Fusion stones are the limiting factor. Is there any data on the ratio of fusion stones in the cheaper chests? Is it worthwhile to open a couple of silver chests for example to get more fusion stones? Or gold chests, because of the chance to get the bonus xp fusion armor?

I figure, because in the cheaper chests there are not so many armors, the chances to get what you want out of them are higher.

No data on that at the moment, or at least none that I know of. I'd say either one is fine, depending on which one you have more keys for, though I'm more inclined towards the gold chests.

You can't really assume that though, since the odds probably aren't equally distributed.

Anyways, even for time crucial things like the dragon armors I didn't find the need to use 50ep armors to level the armors.

You have 8 days to get the armor to 35 if you know your not gonna land in the top 25. Craft it right after you finish 15. I would never warrant wasting stones to get an armor to level 35. People should be more worried getting to 43 than leveling it up to 35.

Also I mass opened 66 gold keys I've accumulated from the past boss. I got atleast 3 from 6 batches of 11.

fusing does not guarantee a better grade of armour. I do not know the math behind it, and I do not really care because there is nothing worth fusing because you cannot get a + version. What I, and most?, others do is turn 2 6 EP armours into 50 EP armours for helping a level 70 armour the last ten levels.

Raist, What did you get 3 of in 6 batches of 11? Enhancement boost armours? I only managed 2 in 10 batches, but they were both matching the elements of the armour I was upgrading :)

If you were talking about fusion stones, I think I got around 60 (but that was as many grey chests as yellow) so there :P

Not necessarily, but it's the most likely outcome simply because that's the cheapest possible result.


and a 50 with a 50 gives a 70 right.

Nope. And distressingly often, you'll get snakeskin. :(

It's random. It does seem that you're more likely to get a legendary armor by fusing legendaries, but nothing is guaranteed.

Enhancement points. You get 70 armors by getting their materials and crafting them, or the dpc. Fusing is possibly one of the worst ways to get a 70 if you don't have a lot of good and fusion stones. Basically how fusion works is that the higher the rarity of armor you're fusing, the better your chances at higher rarity armors.

I figure, because in the cheaper chests there are not so many armors, the chances to get what you want out of them are higher.

Fusing to get 4 50EP armors from 8 basics may be the quickest, but definitely not the cheapest. I use 4xBasics until about level 15-20, then move to 4xSnakeskin, then a combination of fusing 2x50EP's and 2xSnakeskin. I get 90% of my fusion stones from farming for Snakeskin. Some days are better than others. Sometimes I'll get 1 fusion stone every 18-20 runs. I've found the drops for snakeskin mats better on Honor or Epic stage. I usually watch tv in the evening with my wife and just run Honor for about 2 hours.. Come out with about 200+ leather mats, a couple of keys and usually 2 and sometimes up to 5 fusion stones. I don't use them as often as you'd think. Gold is usually tight, and it may be a quick 200EP for 4, but it ain't cheap. I work the numbers and the levels to land in a cheaper zone or try to skip an extra level to do the next enhancement. A 70 armor takes 5140 EP to go from 1-70.

The only level where you get fewer enhancement points/thousand gold for fused armors is level one, 20 (for basics) vs 19.23 (for infused)

99.8% of the time, assuming that fusion stones are free (they are not) you get the most enhancement points per unit of gold with fusion

Not exactly sure what you mean above. What I'm saying is:

If you fuse any of the specific Basics combos that make a 50 EP Armor, it costs 25,000 gold and a fusion stone. To do for 4 slots, it's 100,000 gold and 4 fusion stones and yield 200 EP plus the cost of 1 enhancement.

To craft 2 Snakeskin costs 6,000 gold and yields 48 EP. To craft for 8 slots is 48,000 gold plus the cost of 2 enhancements.

Depending on what level your enhancing will depend on how much additional to add to the snakeskin cost.

Take a level 70 armor at level 10:

Enhancing the 200EP in 4 slots would cost 2,400 gold and bring you to level 14.
Total cost is 8 Basic Armors (2,400), Fusion costs (100,000), and Enhancement cost (2,400) = 104,800.

Enhancing the 96EP in 4 slots would cost 2,400 gold and bring you to level 12.
Enhancing the second 96EP in 4 slots would cost 3,200 gold and bring you to level 14.
Total cost is 8 Snakeskin (48,000) and Enhancement costs (5,600) = 53,600

Savings: 50,400, but you have the time factor for 8 Snakeskins

If that Level 70 armor was at level 50:

Enhancing the 200EP in 4 slots would cost 52,000 gold and bring you to level 52.
Total cost is 8 Basic Armors (2,400), Fusion costs (100,000), and Enhancement cost (52,000) = 154,800.

Enhancing the 96EP in 4 slots would cost 52,000 gold and bring you to level 51.
Enhancing the second 96EP in 4 slots would cost 54,000 gold and bring you to level 52.
Total cost is 8 Snakeskin (48,000) and Enhancement costs (106,000) = 154,000

Savings: 800 gold, again the time factor for 8 Snakeskin OR the time factor for farming fusion stones

As you get even higher levels, if you enhance 2 slots with 50EP and 2 slots with Snakeskin, you'll balance out the cost.

Is it worth it to spend the gold on Lv2 TG and then Lv3 with gems? Or should I expand more? I'm only lv35 and been spending more time on trying to level my armors. I'm farming snakeskin, got 3/4 "Big Four" + version, but it's pretty slow with 2 armories.

I would start with expansions before spending any money. At least on upgrades. You can get another pretty quick 4+ extra training grounds with just gold. That income will be worth more than having 1 TG upgraded to LVL3.

Also you can sell your Cathedrals and put down training fields if you have the money. Thats what I and a lot of others did. But youre not too high yet so dont worry about it

@ZERO_07 sig: Kaleidoscopic+ has worse raw max. stats than the "big four".
For a similar investment in gold and materials to max Kaleidoscopic to 70, you could max Atlantean+, Crius+, Living Flame+ and Hydra Hunter+ to level 50 (see the spreadsheet linked on page 1) .
Kaleidoscopic does have the element advantage (but element disadvantage when applying enhancement armors) but these days it's probably more of a "pretty" armor. Black Kaleidoscopic(+) is where all the Kaleidoscopic hype is these days. ;)

It has more Attack then the Big Four, not to mention the elemental advantage boost especially against dual Armors. Also I have Hydra+ at Lv. 26 and am currently working on unlocking Crius+ too, so Kaleido+ is more of a finisher to be honest, Hydra+ and soon Crius+ will do the majority of the work.

There's absolutely no way I'll ever get BK+ by the way, I can barely beat the epic bosses to Lv.20 and don't have enough gold or resources to unlock and craft the + versions either.

Yeah that could be considered, but it would still be better to go for the swamp+, infernal+ as dark prince+ first, since they have the superior stats. Roc+ and spectral+ are the lower end of the 70+ spectrum. Maybe when the normal boss armors have better stats then maybe it would be preferred. It could still be useful for completing some of the missing elements though.

Hi all, how do you get a + armor that cant be smithed? e.g. flowstone battlegear+ etc.those armors you will get will have 700/500 max stats on plus, like i saw on some old eunuchorn post. Your story armor like atlan avenge ro crius will have more than 700/700 on the plus version, so, dont worry about them.

Ecept for flowstone battlegear, if you manage to get a plus, you will have 800/700, slighty better then crius +, but getting a flowstone plus from chests is very very rare.

Gree needs to make the chat system in K&D more developed. I was level 70 before I learned about the forums or any of the fantastic knowledge in this thread. I think the reason is, until you stumble across a guild that is helpful and uses something line Line, you have no way of learning from other players. There needs to be a serious push for more in-game chat just so new players can discover the forums and get help from other players before they waste a month and 7 million gold using poor strategies like I did :P

Just to check. I shouldnt bother making the non plus version of the assassins armor correct? I was going to level my infernal plus armor. I have the big 4 capped. Confused on where to go next.

Confused on where to go next. boss armors non plus are only a bit better than the big four, and a lot worse than the high story armor, like infernal or swamp shaman. So, unles you hit 43 or something near, dont focus too much on them.

Sorry my thread is all over the place but really need help--- Thanks!!!

So i bought some dark prince chests and I received the following armors....

Even though they are super rare it seems they arent better then just regular rare.

Do I just use them to fuse or what?

Embersteel
Monk's Vestments
Volcanic Mantle
Brawler's Armor
Glacier Armor
Lightning Lord
Monstrous Garb
Riverstone Mantle
Steam Wizards Robe



I also have

Atlean Avenger+ 1/50
Hydra Hunters Mail+ 1/50
(working on getting a + version of Living Flame and Crius) Unless I should do a different armor instead.
Slimebane Battlegear & Assassins Shroud - Non + which I realize now is a mistake, however should I still level them?

The big question I have is which armors do I level, I can work on being able to craft + versions of the Big 4, or do I focus on making my Battlegear/Shroud better, it looks like their stats are still vastly better then anything else I own.

Use the DPC rares to enhance, none of them are worth leveling.

As for slimebane and assassins normal, don't level them at all. Focus on the big4+ first. With the amount of gold you'll use to even level it to 60, you can max out all 4 of the big 4 already.

Great thread, always love to re-read to make sure I am on the right path...

Have been playing for 5 weeks now and I am Lvl 97, but have only limited armors below:
1) the big 4+s maxed out
2) infernal+ @ lvl 20
3) just starting to get my dark prince+ @lvl 1

At a crossroad if I should level my infernal+ and dark prince+, or aim for an epic armor+.

Reading the thread, there seems opinions that it is harder to get to lvl 43 boss kills...but how much harder?
Do i stand a chance?
Anyone has a gauge on when someone is "ready" to gun for epics,in terms of lvl, armor, and friendly support fire?

I am thinking to buy some gems (375 gems) and try to get a nemesis armor for the next boss and start my gunning.
Or perhaps I should stick to levelling my infernal+ and dark prince+ first?

Any advice is deeply appreciated.
Better yet, if any of the big boys here can lend support to me (XBD YPF FXM), will be doubly grateful!

Level 90-100 should be about right to get your first boss level 43.
If the boss elements are decent, big four armors are just fine to use, provided you have enough friends with suitable armors. (the last day before the boss disappears you'll probably doing 4/3 or 3/4 formation, which uses up 2+2=4 friends per level...)
I myself am using Crius+/AA+/AA+ for this boss.
Being in a guild with its guild element bonuses (or even better the further bonusses from guild leadership positions) should also help a lot.

Only reason to stop enhancing/leveling an armor: if you've got a better armor to enhance crafting/ready.
Always keep working on more enhancement material unless you armory is full.
In other words: go for that epic boss, but keep enhancing the armors you've got at the same time. Boss fighting doesn't hamper your farming abilities except for maybe at Kingdom of Darkness (since you'll need your friends for the boss) and the timing on when to trigger the boss.

I'm still a noob @ enhancing

I currently have a L10 seafoam, L7 monk and L7 volcanic. Is it normal my armor only goes +1 LV if I use 4 basics? And how long should I keep on using basics?

Also, armor like volcanic has both earth and fire. Is 4x fire basic the same EP as 2x earth and 2x fire?

Sorry if it's been asked already, I just haven't got a clue what to farm to lvl up armor. I've seen snakeskin get mentioned etc, but that's for the "big 4' or something

heres how it works, The more the stars on an armor the _Slower_ it is to enhance it. Id recommend leveling your seafoam, stonescale, dragonscale, wind warrior? etc. Monks is decent but it will be slower to enhance it up. Thats up to you.

As long as the elements match you will get full points, so yes fire and earth will give same in that armor.

Use basics until at least level 20. After that switch to uncommons (1 silver star) leveled up to at least level 4, or snakeskin armors. You built at least one training field right? you will need the gold soon!

Actually, the max level of the armor of an armor decides how much EP it takes to max it. Level 30 armors would require 194 EP (excluding nemesis armors, they're the exception). Level 50 armors take 1540 EP, Level 70 armors take 5070 EP, and level 99 takes 9030 EP. All these are rough estimates of course, but very close to the actually value.

That's a tough call, considering you are only level 40 I don't know if you'll have the resources to enhance it to max. Dark prince royal armor is only 200 stats lower at max level, but it's a 3 star armor, I thought i was the more stars the harder it is to enhance

Dark Prince: 2019 combined stats is better than most older legendary plus or newer legendary non-plus.
Only 7 legendary no-plus have higher stats, of which Tempered is one of them.

At level 40 the question is: have you unlocked (nearly) all expansions and a whole lot of Training Fields level 2 or 3? If not, work on that first, since level 70 armors will bleed your gold supply dry, while at the same time that Tempered won't beat a maxed big 4 armor on stats until it is about level 45-50, which takes something like 80% more enhancement points than getting a big 4 maxed...

No, only max level determines how many EP it takes to enhance (with Nemesis being a quirky oddball not following the rules)
The 3rd sheet of the spreadsheet lists it all.

So.. I've been playing this game for a few weeks now, and i quite like it, but i could use some pointers.
I'm level 50, with Crius + 50/50, Atlantean + 50/50, Hydra Hunter + 50/50 and i'm currently at the Blazing Tides on Honor Stage, Trying to get enough Feathers for my Living Flame +

What's the best way to go for me after that?
Should i try and fuse some armors together for a better quality armor?
Or should i just go through the stages with the 'Big Four' Armors?

My Castle is at the 2nd to last upgrade, I've got 4 Armorsmiths and 9 Training Fields (And one monster Den, didn't know what else to put in the 1 slot)
Since 2million is quite alot for me, idk if i should wait or not..

Oh and the Bosses: i've done 3 now and i can never seen to get past lv13/14, so i guess i could use some high lvl friends?


Any pointers/tips are highly appreciated!

You are going along the right tracks! Go get LF+ to 50/50 and concentrate on the story. Your next armour set, after LF+, will be Swamp Shaman Robes (from Misty Marsh), followed by Armour of Infernal Lord (Haunted Citadel), followed by Dark Prince Royal Armour (Kingdom of Darkness). Spectral Captain (Sunken Carrack) is not worth it and Rocfeather Robes is optional.
There's no need to make fusions because, in all likelihood, you will waste your stones and 25k.

More powerful friends will help you past level 15, but honestly, lvl 15 is the most meaningless tier to reach as the prize is worthless. Non+ legendaries are not worth it.

Small correction: the lvl 15 prize is mostly worthless to be worn/leveled, but fusing 2 of the right element ones together might result in a good/usable non-plus legendary/epic.

How is that even possible if I needed 4 just to gain one level from 8 to 9? Does it mean I messed up and you have to use them on specific levels?

Sifu
08-28-2013, 02:19 PM
The amount of EP required to gain one level goes up as the level of the armor goes up. Be sure to check all the tabs on this document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiQKRFnZ9_jpdEFtUUVnd2dQM1ZIX2IxT1RNZVlva lE#gid=0

A lot of work has gone into that. They have a pretty fair estimation of the EP required per level to get the next level of the armor.

08-28-2013, 03:04 PM
From the spreadsheet, sheet 3:
- to get a level 30 armor to level 11 requires 45 EP
- to get a level 50 armor to level 11 requires 184 EP
8 matching basics = 8 * 6 = 48 EP
5 matching and 3 non-matching basics = 5 * 6 + 3 * 5 = 45 EP

I always get them and combine them, for the moment I would beat level fifteen and then not craft it unless you have maxed TF lv 2. Not saying its the best way to do it, just a good way. I would assume guild wars us coming soon, so good luck to you and your guild. Oir guild is just going to beat bad guild's guardians and get fusion boosts :D

At your level, I would do it on normal. The shards drop rates aren't affected very much by the level that I have noticed. I have never attempted to actually log those to get a real test, but it shouldn't be that much different. Also, if you don't need the Choral, do not kill the boss with a special attack. If you kill it with an SA, it will drop choral, if you do not, it usually drops two shards.

Nice guide dude :)

In my opinion some more facts will be good:

Crafting:
In early stages, crafting silver Armor is great (same element gives you 10 points on upgrading, 8 with false element)

Gems:
Dont waste them, i would recommend if you have last 2 gold ressources, you can spend them to lvl the ressources to lvl 3.

Friends:
Gather friends, they will help you to lvl fast. Higher Level means higher stats and HP (I leveled to 62 in 10 days and was/am completely noobish)

I'm not sure if this is a common pattern among new players, but I have come across way too many of "I have a new armor, I'm gonna show it off in the arena even though I know it's not levelled and I have to unequip my levelled armor to do so."

It's obvious because they are armors that are rewards from the previous arena tourney (eg I have seen way too many unevolved lightning lord recently and it just so happens it was one of the arena rewards from last week)

I have also noticed this trend with epic armor. I see some lucky ppl who have gotten them from chests and equip them for the arena even though they are underlevelled. Keep them to the side and upgrade them, no need to show off the bling until it's fully blinged out :p

Granted, a lot of ppl don't take arena too seriously but it is a way for new players to get some free stuff.

My guess is that the mayority of (casual) players don't look at stats but just think "more stars, so must be better from the get go".
Based on the wiki anons, my impression is that the majority of players also think fusion results are based on which exact armors you put in instead of which elements you put in.
Nearly everyone posting on this forum can probably be classified in the top 1% hardcore/knowlegable players of this game...

Hello, I just found this guide and it was like seeing the sun for the first time. I need advice on what direction I should take next in regards to armor. I'm level 70. I have the following:

Slimebane Battlegear lvl 70
Flowstone Battlegear + lvl 50
Assasins Shroud lvl 43
Aegis of the Fallen lvl 25
Leviathan's Platemail lvl 13
Feathersblade Battlegear lvl 10

Should I try to get a plus level final boss armor (Swamp Shaman Robes, Armor of the Infernal, Dark Prince) and upgrade or take a different route such as trying to get the next legendary boss armor in plus?

Max out your City in Training Fields level 2 (or 3)
Max out a set of the big four + armor
Craft and Level Shaman+ and Infernal+
Get some good friends and go for epic bosses.

Similar to what Sifu said in the other thread, Good luck!

I did a bunch of gem offers and opened some dpcs during the 4x event I just started this week. I'm level 12 with:

Troll King Nemesis
Ember steel armor
Lightning lord armor
Swamp shaman robes
Monk's vestments

I've been reading about the big four and was wondering if I should stick to these or start with the big four.
Also, how do I obtain snakeskin leather strips?

Any 2 star armors are not worth leveling, swamp shaman might not be +, if it is keep it, if not keep it for the future and level it a bit at a time so you can get + version when you get that far. At level 12 you'll want to focus on getting more gold as it becomes pricey to enhance past level 50. I recommend still making the big four. The snakeskin is the 3rd stage, after the water one. Kill final boss with special attack

I would just work on leveling your knights and getting the big four. I would keep the swamp shaman and level it to lvl 20 so you can make the plus later but ember steel and lightning lord are just enhancing fodder IMO

What should I do with the nemesis armor?

That one was basically useless for you. You can attempt to get 15 kills on the epic boss using that, but that doesn't seem likely quite yet at your level. After this epic boss is gone, that armor has no use.

What if I am having a great time in the arena, and all I really want to do is sit at level 30 and fight arena battles and enjoy the benefits of Ribbon 3/4/5? I want to farm armor and level up my temporary armors as fast as I can WITHOUT leveling up. I understand the game was not intended to be played this way, but do you have any tips for me anyways?

I'm running 4 L2 Jails, a L2 Training field, 10 L2 Crystal Observatories, and 1 L2 Blacksmith.
I farm all of the silver star armors from the first few stages when I need to level up my armors, and I contribute the extra gold I have to my small, humble guild. (Though if I could be in any sort of guild like Majestic I would jump at the opportunity)

Edit: My armor sets are Lightning Lord, Molten Shroud, Atlantean Avenger, Monk's Vestments, and some other psychic air robes I forgot the name of. I will probably work on the big four but never max them. "I'm goin for the epics, Jimmy. EPICS."

You didn't put your gems to optimal use. Those armors might be moderately useful for a few levels with their initial stats, but they aren't worth leveling.

One thing to keep in mind is that it takes 8x as many points to level rare armors than uncommon; and that the cost of points increases sharply, making it easily an order of magnitude easier to level uncommon than rare, and even worse for legendary to rare. So trying to skip a step isn't useful under any circumstances.

The best thing to spend gems on for early players is level 3 training grounds.

My biggest mistake as a noob was not finding these forums early enough.

Now, I'm about level 68. Is it still worth maxing the BIG FOUR? I've nearly maxed a Riverstone which seems to compare pretty well against other armors. I'm also working on the dragon armors.

To be honest, I leveled the big four and I wish I hadn't. It doesnt take long to hit level 100 and then those four armors are almost useless. Its much better to get boss armor and start maxing them to lvl 70.

09-14-2013, 05:35 PM
No they're not. You'll never kill epic boss 43 with random armors unless you're in a top 3 guild(which you won't be). And regular boss armors take 5x more gold to enhance than the Big 4.

Remember, you are going to want your followers to have decent armors for epic boss too. Since these are so easy to level relative to other armors that compare in stats, I would say they are definitely worth it. These are better than many 1/70 armors. Even those 1/70 armors that are slightly better, like the epic boss non+ are not much better. Most are 1700-1800 total stats, so about 200-300 better on total stats but cost so much more than the big 4.

You are looking at about 2.8 million gold to level a 1/70. Each "big 4" costs about 485,000. You can level all of the big 4 for what one epic boss non+ costs to level.

A big 4 takes 1540 EP to level. A 1/70 takes 5070-5080. You can max 3 of the big 4 and have the 4th to level 20 for the EP it takes to level one 1/70.

These are worth making unless you are equipping 3 knights for every element in gear with 2000 or more total stats each.

What armors do your No. 2 and 3 knights wear for fighting the Epic Bosses?

Hint: I've beaten the last 14 Epic Bosses to level 43, and there wasn't one where I wasn't using a Big Four armor for at least one of my back up knights, if not both. Against the current Epic (Ice Wraith) both my back up knight are wearing a big 4 armor.

Agreed. Much easier to get a start on the epic bosses if you have the appropriate backups. Unless you magically fall into max level boss armors and chest armors, you're going to need something to start with. Clearly once you get get enough armors you can phase them out, but you always need backups.

Thanks for all the work that has gone into keeping this guide up to date. Was a wonderful resource!

Just out of curiosity does a 2-star armor take the same EP as a 1-star (gold) armor take? like Rageborne Raiment vs Hydra Hunter's Mail for example.

The EP required is apparently based on the max level of the armor rather than the star value. So it is judged on 1/30 or 1/70, etc.

Just to make sure I understand...

Leveling a 1star (Atlantean Avenger for example) to 50 would be the same as leveling a 2star to 50 (Stormrage for example). Makes sense.

However, is the EP required to level a 1star (Atlantean Avenger for example) to 50 also the same as the ep required to level a 3star (Rocfeather Robes for example) to level 50 (to level 50, not to the max level of 70). In other words does the EP/Level change here or just the number of levels to completely max out the armor?

If I understand this correctly I am guessing leveling any armor to 50 = same EP required. Is this correct?

BethMo

No. According to the datasheet, leveling a max-50 armor to 50 takes 1540 enhancement points, but leveling a max-70 armor to 50 takes 2944 enhancement points.

4 matching element armors. Typically Snakeskins are pretty easy for everything.

zaunfink
09-27-2013, 10:01 AM
An option I use is to combine basics into non-craftable armors like Flamestorm Finery - they give 50 EP apiece, if matching. It's only something for the upper lvls of your armor though, when snakeskins aren't enough. The FAQ-Thread has a informative section on that in the first post (also by rad ;)). Only do it if you don't need the fusion stones, though, obvs.

Depends on the current level of your armor. In the early stages, yes. The higher the armor level, the more EP is needed.

I like to use basics to 26-28
Level 4 uncommons to 26-35 ( Level those dragonflame armors to 4+ with basic fire armor)
Snakeskin armor 30-58 (can also do some level 8 uncommons)
Fusion stones 50 (58) to 70 (Depends on matching elements or not)
70 + 50 EP armors or Fusion boosts.

Hey guys,

When fusing armour, does the level of the armour impact the fusion result?

zaunfink
10-01-2013, 06:36 AM
AFAIK only in terms of the resulting armours level. I remember reading 1 EP per level above 1 of fused armor. So, fusing two lvl 15 armours should result on a new armor with 28 EP.

But I might be wrong.

Resulting armor level is the average of the source armors level.
Some people swear leveling to 35 gives them better results, but that could be similar to having "lucky" numbers for the lotto... ;)

In addition to this, always enhance using all 4 armor slots at a time. You'll save a lot of money in the long run. (I know it's obvious, but this is a thread for noobs)

Hmm, this isn't always true. At times when using the 4th armor slot will get you to just over the next level, it is generally better to use 3 to avoid crossing the level threshold to have a lower enhancing cost the next time you enhance.

Let me give an example with level 70 armors at level 30-ish. Using 4 snakeskins will jump one level totally, while using 3 will keep you just under the next level.

At level 31, each slot costs 4000, at level 32, each slot costs 4250, at level 33, 4500.

Using 4 slots at lvl 31 will get you to just above lvl 33, where you will need another 2 to stay just under 34.
4*4000 + 2*4500 = 25000

Using 3 slots at lvl 31 will get you to just below lvl 33, and you need another 3 to get to the same place as above.
3*4000 + 3*4250 = 24750

While the difference is only 250 gold here, it will be more pronounced for higher levels, as the difference in enhancement cost per level increases

You're right, I've even done that in a few cases myself. i don't know if it slows you down enough at any point to cost you gold or not. I'll remove my previous post and think a bit more before I type :) You also shouldn't use all four slots if it goes over what you need to max an armor or to unlock a + version if that's your goal.

The new update says something about bonus for guardians added, we don't yet know what.

Those boost armors I think must have been apple war, as not in either of the android wars, so we will see what all the complaints resulted in, Probably not as good as boost is my guess.

I thought they were color coded (red or blue) so that purchase order doesn't matter? So buying the "large" plot gives you a 2x2 square while buying the "small" plot gives you two 1x2 rectangles. And of course, with the initial purchase it gives you the two 1x1s and a 1x2.

Hey guys,

i'm lvl 99 so far and just read this thread recently.

Now I see that all i did wasn't that smart and i wonder what to enhance further.

Armors:
Northerner's 71
Horseman's 51
Behemoth's 44
Vinewood 50
Monk's 50
AA+ 21 (just started yesterday when i read this)

I have Wicker Mantle 2x(to get + version) and hopefully can beat the snowman till 43.

So the big question is what to focus on?
Northerners 99 first? AA+ to 50 or skip it and go for Abominable Platemail+(Snowman)? Get Horseman's and Behemoth's to 70 or skip it?

Please hand out some advices.

Thank you

The story line 3*+ like swamp shaman have around 2000 total stats where EB usually has about 1800. Get the good story armors like the guides suggest and with the right friends, etc, you'll get to EB+. If the non+ EB get to 2000 total stats or more then they are viable.

On the bottom right hand corner, of the epic boss is which elements defeat which elements. I always click on that to select which armors are the best for that epic boss. Which elements your armor has make a huge difference defeating the epic boss once you get up there.

Then now that the timer is extended with this new update...go in with your three guys and two friends with the full 10 atm and full time on the 2 hours. Now beat all you can, lets say 4,477 left. if you wait out the 2 hours now you can go back in with your 3 guys a 2nd time to finish off the boss.

Going back in a 2nd time is how I first clawed my way to 43. used to be you could only go back in with 2 guys but now its takes less time so you can go back in with 3, so much easier than it used to be.

Many of the wings were won with having all three epic boss pluses in your inventory, so they are prestige in a way, because they were earned not bought.

Its usually specific, not wings this time as the prize. The Halloween one was those bat animated wings, and you had to unlock the three specific epic plus boss armors and craft them before the time ran out. Wings have been a prize Id say at least three times. The brown wings were a prize.

There is a thread for the three you have to unlock this time starting with the epic boss this week. Craft and keep the Jack Frost, Krampus and Glacius epic boss armors. For the three regular ones you get three keys to the winter chest. For the threee epic plus boss armors, you get 5 keys to the winter chest AND you get Aegis of the Dragon PLUS armor as a prize.

So instead of wings, this time you get Aegis of the Dragon PLUS armor which is kind of a nice one for using against some of the epic bosses.

PS be sure and use the keys while the winter chest is there. I got some once and didnt use them, saved them and they dissapeared. They are specific to only this chest it seems. Learned that lesson the hard way.

You agreed to ToS when you entered the game. Since you agreed to ToS you should be aware of how the game is. Dont blame the mirror - You are the issue here.

Besides, no on forced you to put in real money. Its a choice YOU have and YOU chose to do it. Why complain then? Why get butthurt? :) Also, if you read the forums you should have known by now. Thats for sure.

So I know that Radlonghammer mentions gold and how important it is in the early game and also late game. He definitely emphasizes to get training fields ASAP because obviously they gather the most gold while you are away. My questions is on a google doc that is shared on these forums it goes over long term and short term accumulation of gold using different buildings. If you are able to log in quite often it said that you can get 800k+ gold per 2.1 hours with lvl 3 monster nests (that's with all spots full of monster nests aside from having 1 arena, 1 chance chest, 1 fusion master, and 1 armor smith, meaning 29 open single spots) and 600k+ gold per 11.9 hours with lvl 3 training fields. So would it be better to have full training fields or monster nests? Obviously you'd be losing gold when you sleep but when you're awake you have gained roughly 48k more gold for the same amount of time it takes the training fields to get full.

Obviously you'd be losing gold when you sleep but when you're awake you have gained roughly 48k more gold for the same amount of time it takes the training fields to get full.

This is a personal choice based on a couple of factors:

In-game cost
Gold
Training Fields occupy 2 spaces. Monster Nests occupy 1. Remember that as you calculate the cost to build all of these buildings and purchase the level 2 upgrades.

Real Life Costs
Time
You will need to be sure that you can check your buildings frequently enough to meet your own expectations. This costs time from your real life. While 4 hours might not sound bad now, consider the life of the game as well. If you suspect your personal pattern in playing games involves a cycle of dedicated play and a longer cycle that is less dedicated, then take that into account. This choice will include a BIG investment with a similar investment if you change your mind later.

Gems
Monster Nests not only require the additional gold investment, but similar gem investment. Both building's level 3 upgrades costs gems. Monster Nests will take a lot to upgrade them all so what is your plan on having these completed? Are you going to buy those gems or go long-term saving all your free gems to get these done? This might require you to spend money to get there so be sure you consider those costs in your planning.

I have a question,

In case I sent my phone to the lab (means they'll probably reset my phone). I haven't binded my account and I guess I'll need to start from scratch when the phone gets back. Is there another way to access my account beside binding the account to my e-mail address?

So I am level 16 and started about two days ago. I have been operating under the understanding that I should be using and leveling up better starred armor. Clearly I am mistaken. Two questions:

1) When trying to obtain the big 4, should I try to fuse two level 1 base armors or should I level up base armors then fuse to make some of the big 4?

2) How do I know what type of guild to join? I have been playing guild based games for awhile (most recently CoC before it was even remotely popular) but this is a different style of game it seems. Though I may be a beginner, I am extremely active and will grow quickly. How do I avoid getting into a purely beginner guild that people are inactive and quit often?

Thanks for the great threat!

See the post above yours, clear and concise. The old arena didnt used to give such nice prizes. I have DK fire (#1 guild) and GS Foolish Fire who is 2 1/2 weeks old so I think I can compare and give advise on new arena for newbies.

My advise you want to level up the armors with the most stars.... usually. Baby Fire still wearing a 2 star 50/50 lightening lord PLUS (the plus is important dont bother with low stars if not plus). You can easily get 4 star armor free several ways, she already has some 4 stars not wearing yet.

Get gold and expansions as fast as possible and dont level up your guy until you have armors and leveled up armors to match higher competition.

Use free gems to level up training fields to level 3, i have 8 or 9 leveled up already. I go into arena with baby fire and do streaks of 9 and she is always in top 1000 and gets very nice armors as prizes. Every 3 and 9 you get a free armor to use for leveling up. Lots of reward tiers give more armors. I get 20 gems for rewards a week plus 14 gems for top 1000, plus gems here and there. use gems for training fields FIRST, never chests.

Top 1000 gives you free 4 star armors to wear, not as good as epic boss. I am wearing 1 of my 3 wicked wraiths and 1 of the aegis of the fallen, both won for top 1000 in arena. Arena important for fodder to level up those armors, spend your gold first on making expansions then level up nice armors, forget that big 4, thats how it USED to be.

Now that you got some armors ok, you need to get thru level 15 of epic boss. Baby fire wearing the first epic boss armor she managed to beat. Some better ones earlier, but cant cry ...used the first one she won. Demons Carapace.

Baby Fire cant do level 43 yet on epic boss but that is the next goal. You have to do 43 to get the plus eb armors. Some of them lately have been better than epics, Dont get caught up on stars and rarity ..look at the stats. Moon epic is weaker than several boss armors lately. epic boss is 4 star and you need to get to that plus but that can wait, baby fire is waiting...but its next on her list.

Right now Baby Fire is NOT leveling up. If she levels up too fast she will lose in the arena and right now the prizes are too nice to pass up. She is patient. Level 55 now and leveling only slowly now. One more expansion, then work on armors, then she can level, but not quite yet. Dont level past where you can win in arena.

She is in a fun and active guild and cant beat many we fought in the war, but hey she can hit the gate. Every person in this guild is active and has a line account. Thats what I look for in a guild. People talking, people who have line better, so we have a chat room. In game you cant scroll up very far and read back if you miss stuff earlier. Every single person has some pts in the war, not big pts, but each person has some pts. You want people who share the load and each one tries and has fun together. Socialization within the guilds is more fun than the game many say.
