[@mortred3466]

this was the video i have been looking for thank you so much for it

[@AkaYasha241]

Just started watching the video but wanted to say thanks a lot for this! Been waiting for this one for ages

[@denysplays4463]

Thank you Miser.Very usefull video!!! Please make the same video about GENERAL CULTIVATING.

[@r4bdsquirr3ll]

I was able to hear this perfectly this time lol and... what a great topic too - I didn't give refinement much thought until now lol TYVM! =)

[@SalimSafae18s]

I did my refine much better too after watching this video 👏👏👏

Perfect timing been saving up to start refining dragon gear. Thanks for the valuable information.keep up the excellent work mate.

[@abhishekt684at]

Thanks for sharing this valuable information with us your guidance always helpful for others

[@916DLC]

How should I be thinking of sub-city-general Achaemenian gear refining? I've heard mixed things. Do the attack/defend/hp stats work or is it just the sub city skills?

[@senderemail940]

If I upgrade a dragon gear to an ares gear, would the refines and stars all reset?

[@The_Miser]

Nope. However, they don't scale upwards. So a 19/20 refine would become a 19/25.

[@cnutt6625]

One way to control the number of refining stones you use is to also not overbuild and refine armor types. I see a ton of kings swords here. For all of your farming generals you really only need 1 set of each type of kings armor (one of each weapon and no rings) that can be shared based on the type of rss being harvested. These can then be refined for the same rss boost as the piece (sword refined for 4 Stone speed boosts). If you have them, fill in the extra 2 slots with dragons( no harvest refinement needed) for an additional harvest speed boost. Once Jin is on the tile, she should be switched to champions armor for the extra rss boost. The champion set needs no refinement or stars. This will also save you a lot of higher level materials to make more advanced armor.

[@illmindedkidz9690]

Hello. Can you say what is the difference between refines that have percentages vs refines that have numbers, for example you click on a refine and one refine comes out 250 out 1-300, vs. instead of 14% out of 1%-15%

[@darrenhamilton9066]

Miser, please answer. Aka reckons that if you divide what you have by the max, anything above 0.8 should be kept (would be a 20% refine??) e.g. 250÷300 is 0.83 so keep

[@himangsudas5857]

Do the assistant general's gear gets added against monster and PvP?👀

[@celandc5418]

There is no "Lock" option longer, at least i don't see it where it shoulg be. Has something changed?

[@Chris_Garcia-693]

I love Miser he's great

[@SalimSafae18s]

Thanks friend, I love your videos, I am new player

[@Excelsop]

Hello not sure if you still respond or not but I am a free to play player and I don’t see myself getting the ares or dragon gear anytime soon in the future so I wanted to start refining kings set for boss monster attacks then later work on the dragon or ares set for pvp .. should I not waste my stones at all on the kings set and just wait it out?

[@The_Miser]

You might do some light refines but don't invest in it too strongly. Everything will be obsolete in not too long.

[@Excelsop]

@@The_Miser thank you 🙏🏽 I appreciate the response 💯 shall I also not star upgrade the gear then?

[@The_Miser]

You can star it for sure.

[@shankarmedico]

Ideally what should be the good number of slots for Farms, Sawmill, Mine, Quarry and War camp that is going to help for future growth. ? Also in this priority to be given to what ?

[@The_Miser]

Do you want to focus on archers or siege? If archers, consider maxing out your lumber mill, build 1 farm, 1 camp, and maybe 3-4 mines, and the rest quarry. If the opposite, switch quarry and lumber mill. This makes better use of your % increases in production. You can focus your gathering on the resources you find you lack.

[@motog9910]

I did a noob (because i am one) mistake... I did refining as we enhance the general. I accepted first few refines before i realised my mistake. Is there any way undo my mistake? its genera's spear, now with refining attributes it has ground attack, march speed to monsters, ground troop and march speed to monster (%).

[@The_Miser]

That's fine. You don't need to delete any refines (there's no way to do that anyway). You can just do new refining and it will replace your current ones.

[@SalimSafae18s]

One more request my friend, if you could make video about explaining how monarch gear combination works, I have seen players with many gear combinations like( pvp, pve, and more) it makes it easy to equip right gear fast without wasting time for attacking, please?

[@whopper170]

Question do star and refining upgrades transfer when the item is upgraded from Dragon to Ares items or is the investment lost?

[@whopper170]

I figured out the answer on my own. They do transfer but dragon item refinements max out at 20%. Ares refinements go up to 25%.

[@spencermcneely7162]

Question on the Wall General and wanted to know who is better Joseph E Johnston or Leonids I?

[@The_Miser]

JEJ

[@adamworden9014]

Why do you want ore speed gathering on a stone gathering weapon?

[@jlee4304]

good video very informative.

[@-ttt-3738]

Hello i have a question. Do you lise your refines on dragon gear when you upgrade it to ares?

[@The_Miser]

No, you do not.

[@randaldavis4880]

i know this is a old video and im just now getting in to this, but what is better the % or the flat numbers ., ive been hearing flat number are the best ...

[@The_Miser]

It's situational. On wall generals flat are generally better. On pvp it depends on the rolls and enemy debuffs but generally % will outperform for higher tier marches.

[@mohamedmorshed6233]

Which gear set or level I should start refine? Does champion set worth it?

[@spencermcneely7162]

I like your play style and see you have many Russian Subordinate Cites. I would like to know what subs you have and how many of each you have. You have the best videos and I learn so much from watching your videos.

[@shawnwang9068]

Great video! Bro, I would keep that 13.6% as the first. I went through kings refine quickly and accepted anything that is over 9%. Need to save those stones for ARES and ACHAE gears It's crazy that you get 2 stones from a boss, but need 200 to do one refine refresh. Oof.

[@The_Miser]

Absolutely. Depends on your priority. I choose to be really picky on the first and second because it affects you in the long term. I despise the refining system tbh. For example, I blew through almost 8k refine stones trying to do Norway Ridge (100 at a time refreshing all 4 slots). 8k stones and not a single useable refine. Refining system definitely needs to be redesigned or stones need to be dropping 10 at a time instead of 2.

[@djordjesitar2967]

I have 1 question what do you think about General Shajar al Dura and how to make the most of it

[@The_Miser]

Shajar is excellent, but you need to make sure you set her up as a proper wall general. Don't just put her on the wall naked.

[@djordjesitar2967]

@@The_Miser im keep 21 i have shajar with 600k power

[@becca7455.]

I call her the cursed one.. Put her on your wall and your bubble drops... No one will rein you.. Zero.

[@bozifus2834]

What is the cap for the other gears?

[@English2Elvish]

28:21 When you food gathering hits 14% and your stomach calls out moar!

[@Attilakrieger]

the end result of that --> 34:23

[@bozifus2834]

What should be the focus for a seige gear?

[@The_Miser]

I'd recommend you use the general gear planner found here to plan your gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2e7g32FZ9mWd6M

[@barryblackman4486]

Hey brother I love your videos, they have really helped me. I was wondering, should I give my keep generals gears, and should I waste refining gems on them.

[@mfernandez2113]

I'm waiting for this answer. I'm at that point too.

[@The_Miser]

You definitely want to gear your generals. Refining is important, but keep in mind that dragon gear upgrades to ares gear eventually, so don't blow all your refining gems on that. Definitely do some to be competitive, though.

[@DM-2630]

Thank you for another informative video. Just want to ask when and how can you get the dragon gear or equipment. Does it work to refine Kings gear for gathering? Thank you

[@The_Miser]

You craft gear in the forge. The level of the forge needs to meet or exceed the required level for the set you are trying to craft. For the top sets, you need to acquire scrolls from farming higher level bosses before you can craft an item. Yes, you should refine King's gear for gathering but not necessarily all the pieces. Just the ones that increase gathering speed.

[@DM-2630]

@@The_Miser Thank you for your reply, I wonder coz it's very rare that I can get a dragon scroll even we always hit lv 11 to 14 for a rally. Does it depends on lv of your keep or Forge or pasture to be able to get this easily like the kings or warrior scrolls? Thank you

[@crawdady2837]

Is it a good thing to do, change your culture to Russian from the one u start with? Does it cost anything ? Thanks. I'm thinking about joining.

[@The_Miser]

It costs 2000 gems to change cultures but I believe you get 1 free change in the early game. It looks like a passport in your inventory.

[@christianmers9247]

Thank you Miser! I am Keep 27. Do you suggest refining now or later at Keep 30?

[@The_Miser]

I suggest refining a bit when you obtain dragon gear, but save the majority of your stones for when you start to unlock ares and aech gear because the cap will be higher and you'll achieve better refines.

[@julesbenitez8853]

Watching it, Alt.

[@Copratra]

IMO the worst and most expensive mechanic the game seems to have. I just hate the way it eats up gold and stones and is totally random in results. Thank you for the tutorials, they really make a difference in the game enjoyment!

[@alreyashalharethi8276]

Do you have any other application like Instagram?

[@The_Miser]

Yes, I have a discord channel. You can find the link on the page banner.

[@Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii0l]

I finally got dragons armor and boots scroll, just to hear it's least important 🥺😂

[@English2Elvish]

26:45 LOL, not a 15%, but I was like there is NO way I skipping anything I should of keep, how the fuck can you end up doing that. Yeeeeah... shit.

[@ubaidullahgondal3154]

Can you plzzz make a video how to get resources

[@The_Miser]

Check the priorities video in the growing your kingdom playlist. The information there is what you need to know to get resources.

[@adamtahirbarrerasilva5840]

Hello Lord Kaltor

[@The_Miser]

I'm not sure who Kaltor is but hello!

[@MrJoromekiq1]

Refining stones limited? We must be playing a different game. I have so many of them, they fill up my whole screen with items. Refining stones are not the problem. You need a s***load of gems to refine properly. And gold too. I don't even bother refining King's gear, only Dragon's and above. Whatever comes up from the 1st attempt is good for the King's gear

[@The_Miser]

Probably different levels of play. When you are constantly trying to improve your buffs on gear rather than saving for better upgrades, refine stones run out really, really quickly. I feel like I go through approximately 10k+ a month.

[@obiron2099]

This game is too expensive. Doesn't value the players time enough. The rewards are laughable. If you're not dropping at least 1000 a week, you're gonna be ridiculously behind

[@coreythompson1466]

I occasionally spend $5 on this game but I can gather over 100 million resources every 24 hours with very little effort and time. Boss monster's and common monsters provide speed ups. What keep level are you at? I'm at keep 31 at the moment but I will be at keep 32 in the next month roughly

[@obiron2099]

@@coreythompson1466 33 at the moment. And still quite behind. The gathering is ok IF you have jindeoks. And you have to hope you're on a server that allows gathering. The bosses don't provide enough speeds or rss. Over a year worth of speeds needed to upgrade at higher levels. Absolutely ridiculous

[@obiron2099]

Not to mention if you want to build troops, or dress a general. Or feed your dragons. The economy in this game is simply awful
