Maybe put in your gathering gem tips for people to farm during kings tax (30%gathering boost, huge acceleration) and to do so during the kvk event in home kingdom because it is mostly empty at the time. Also using a PC emulator doing that for faster search doesnt hurt either :D. I hope you dont get offended, this is all for good intention. Love your channel and they should put advertisment for it on loading screen for new players instead of dumb thing like "Hey you unlock gold on LVL 10 city hall".

HIDDEN LOTUS F2PPP YEAAZAZ

[@lostenan2092]

Hello everyone, as a F2P this is my ultimate gem spending guide. Card king = only flip 2 cards unless there is 1 gold head in the cards, that's when you should flip it. The value of heads amounts to 450-750 gem per piece (including the 3 gold head from the card king itself, Richard for example) depending on the amount of flips that you will do. In case you are wondering how much is the value if there is no gold head on the reward list, it is 1000 gem per head. (this is the same amount of gem prize for this Halloween event which is good but not the ultimate spending guide) Wheels = I've done a lot of testing and my results showed 10 spins is the most valuable, second is 45, the third is 100. The further you go the amount of gem per head increases, the 10,45, or 100 should be your checkpoints. Do not stop on the 25, or 70 checkpoint because the checkpoint requires you to do like 2.5x amount of spins to get to those checkpoints, while the head chest rewards for 10,45, or 100 gives you a better value for the amount of spins needed every checkpoint. Gem gathering = Basic way is to send a march, wait for it to go home then send again. Ultimate way is to have a certain amount of troop load, and the moment they starts to walk back to your home you have to send them again to the next one, basically no rest. City skin = Do not invest on this 10,000 worth gem city skin unless you really need the city skin for it's stats, not the looks. This Halloween city skin gives attack stat which is really bad for infantry, health is the way to go. You should invest on 7,000 gem city skin that gives 35 gold heads.

[@noobatredstone3001]

Don’t agree with the wheel. 100 spins has the best value, followed by 45. 10 spins is too random to talk about it.

[@lostenan2092]

@@noobatredstone3001 My test results did not include the rng or chances of spinning the wheel. This is only for the value of the chest rewards by how much spin you do.

[@lostenan2092]

@@noobatredstone3001 As for my defense on the 10 spins. It will only cost you Free+400+400+400+800+3600 = 5600 gems to 10 spin. So imagine having 5600(10 spin) every time the wheel will show up, it will be 5600 x 10 = 56000 for 100 spins while you all know that doing 100 spin costs like 70,000. Okay let me get the exact cost, it is 70,400.

[@Yudha.2]

Why The Halloween City Is Bad? I though Its Good And Its Infantry. Imho F2p Or Low Spender Need It To Compete In Battlefield 🙁

[@lostenan2092]

@@Yudha.2 Health is the most prioritized stat in ROK and it is based on the experienced, new players, and content creators of youtubers showed that health really does provide the best results in the battle report. ROK is always about lasting longer in the open field or even in rallies. Being a glass cannon is not recommended that's why you'll see Khan as an example not being in the top list of commanders you should invest in first. Personal experience as f2p that I regret: I got Dragon boat, Timbered Ensemble which both gives archer defense while decreases cavalry health/defense. I got the Moment of Celebration, one of the latest archer city skins and it gives archer health and reduces infantry attack. Now the question is, can I use all of them? A big no, and the only one that I'm gonna use is the one that provides health. My main point is, F2P don't have the luxury to collect city skins for the looks. You should always focus on the stats and literally in every event, should always aim for value, value, and value.

[@Shavock]

I love how organised your guide vids absolutly helpful, thank you for your work

[@TheEngineeringDreams]

I'm a F2P from 1597 with 42M power now. Books of the covenant seems a bit of a waste to me. If you see the time which is needed to research some of the last tiers in the acedamy it takes about 2 months. A F2P player will never have enough speed ups to rush these. Even with the 7% extra research speed the amount of time will still be around 2 months. Within these two months you can rally forts. Which I do as well (about 20-30 forts a day which gives around 40 books of convenant per day). Quick math shows it will be less time to rally forts than pushing gems into the castle for researches. I push all my gems into VIP level since they are not needed anywhere else. Also an extra tip on the master blueprint, never buy these during more than gems event. This is a waste of gems in that spot. If the event "Build up" comes around you can build a building for 100K points which will give you 1300 gems. If you do that you only miss out on 700 gems which is not as bad as 2k during more than gem event. This means you can spend those left over gems on vip again. I am 300 days into the game and have reached 13,5 Vip level many spenders are not as high as I am while I am F2P.

[@xxresistantxx50]

Wdym bro, isn't it possible to buy the blueprint first during more than gem event and hold on to it until build up event comes?

[@gusan2727]

Buy the master's blueprint during more than gems, use the master's blueprint during the building event.

[@TheEngineeringDreams]

@@xxresistantxx50 It is possible ofcourse but at my level I only have huge upgrades to go (academy, watchtower, hospitals) takes a lot of time to gain speed ups for those to make it a quick upgrade (speeding wise). So I am stuck with those for a long time till that event pops up and I am able to use it. You would gain another 1300 gems indeed if you buy it on MTG event but I rather buy 50k Vip points each MTG event to race towards VIP 14. Which is from lvl 13-14 250K vip points. Rather achieve it in 5 MTG events than in 6 or 7 due to buying blueprints from the shop. Those 700 I lose during build up event is not as much compared to the vip points I miss imo.

[@Seoulmoonrhee]

Power gain will stall from 35-40 mil power, having a lvl25 castle will allow you to upgrade more and get the T5. F2P will not really use T5 in open field, but if you're playing long term you'll want them eventually, so sooner the better! 😄

[@tylerbennett4908]

Really really appreciate this noodley math about gems and especially VIP. I'm struggliing a lot with math around barb forts and figuring out how many t4s we need for a level 5, also the distribution of covenant books and Lohar heads by percentage of damage done. Thankfully I am in alliance that gets it now, but previously the heavy hitters would only join low level rallies and I wouldn't ever get heads. I was infuriated by this with the witch hats near Halloween.

[@MemerCat0]

this is a certified BRUH moment

[@davidb5205]

About forts vs gemming books: For 140 AP (cost of one fort rally), you can easily chain 20+ barbarians and get far more value in terms of both gems and speedups. 1 Fort = 3-5 books max. 20-30 barbs (Level 21+) chained = 90 gems on average. This is the case for low level barbarians in home kingdom, and even more true for Lost Kingdom barbs. That alone is more value, but on top of that, you get EXTRA value from spending those gems on books during MTG. Fort drop rates are inefficient use of AP for upgrading your castle in a reasonable amount of time.

[@davidb5205]

@Matheus Miguel 140 AP gives more than 50 gems when barb chaining which is the max value you can get from a fort in books. If you did such a test, you weren't barb chaining. You were likely hitting barbs with 5 marches, spending 30 AP per barb which is terribly inefficient.

[@davidb5205]

@Matheus Miguel Before I had YSG expertised, I actually used Aethel + Richard because Aethel has a 180 degree AOE. With YSG expertised, I use Richard + YSG for long barbarian runs and Lohar + YSG if I want to kill quicker.

[@thomasflaye1741]

When you’re vip12 and the 250k gap from 13 means you’ll get t5 sooner than vip 13

On the point regarding spending gems for 500 ap. This will be of extra value during kvk. New higher level barbs are coming which can drop about 100 gems. Point at 17:22

[@JohnusSmittinis]

I actually word disagree that VIP 6 is important. It takes 11,500 points to get to VIP 6, and you get roughly 200 VIP a day. That's 58 days. So you can either spend 11,500 to get to the second building queue, or use 29 two-day building contracts (150 gems each) for a total of 4,350 gems. I'd rather have the building queue and keep the gems.

[@joshuakneisley2939]

Curious your thoughts on spending gems as a free to play or very low spender that only has t5 siege to unlock? 😁

[@thornadohq5048]

Hey Chis pin this. Each festival event has an alternating flow. Current alliance based rewards and other 7k gems spend event type. Next event will be 7k gems one. 7k gems spent gives you back 7k gems in return and along with 35 gold heads. To do these types of event make a team of 3 -4 byddies and tp to zone 1 in least resources rich area. Gather level 1 resources nodes (will take about 14 to 20 mins) in mean while your resources production will be enough to give you event currency. Rally low level forts and kill barbs 3 times a day. Totally free. For vip , spend gems for vip on more than gems event. It's a 2 day event and needs 25k gems each day. Get gold heads in return. So gather about 57k gems as back up. Have a nice day. Migrate to k75 if you like good kind mates. We zero toxic players. So you will be safe.

[@nebajay2408]

I have timed it and i gathered 3200 gems in the space of 12 hours, but it requires you to get back to home kingdom while every one is on the lost kingdom map so that you wont have any competition or shortage of gem nodes to jump to.

[@davidb5205]

This is a reasonable amount of gems for 12 hours. It's more efficient to have four marches gem gathering and one barb chaining. Barb chaining with free AP (especially with YSG) produces more gems per minute than gem gathering. There was someone who tried convincing me that it was possible to collect 4500-5000 in ten hours, even though it was mathematically impossible.
