Teachings from KangfuMaster:
- At a minimum, you should aim to complete the daily objectives to obtain all the chest rewards at 100 Activity Points. It does not take too much effort and time to complete these objectives and the rewards are worth it;
- To reach 100 Activity Points with ease, you should aim for the low-hanging fruits. There are a total of 135 Activity Points available. Refer to the table of daily objectives above where I have highlighted in red 20 daily objectives that are very easy to accomplish and can be achieved with minimal time spent in the game. It’s easy-peasy, right?
COURIER STATION

On each day, the Courier Station will be stocked with items for sale at discounted prices, which you can purchase through the use of food or wood or gems. The items will be available for purchase only upon the arrival of the Mysterious Merchant, who appears randomly, but usually upon completion of troop training, building or Academy research. Once she appears, you are presented with a random set of items that you can purchase from her within a time limit (more than an hour). You are also given one free chance to refresh the set of items available for you to purchase. You are able to refresh the set for an additional 4 times, with each reset costing you 100 Gems.

These items are available for purchase at the Courier Station:
- Resources (food, wood, stone and/or gold);
- Speedups (Universal, Building, Training, Research and/or Healing);
- Enhanced Gathering Speed Boosts and/or Material Production Boosts;
- Dazzling and/or Brand-new Starlight Sculptures;
- Equipment Materials;
- Tome of Knowledge;
- Talent Reset;
- Peace Shield; and/or
- Random/Territorial Teleport.
Teachings from KangfuMaster:
- As a general rule of thumb, the greater the discount on the items, the better the bargain is for you;
- Only purchase items using food or wood resources (do not use your gems), unless you are not a free-to-play (“FTP”) player in ROK;
- Each time the Mysterious Merchant appears, browse through the first list of items available for purchase. Once you are done with your purchases on the first list of items, use your free refresh to continue shopping on the second list of items. Do not use your Gems to refresh the list again, wait for the next time that the Mysterious Merchant appear (her timer needs to run out first before she will appear again);
- I would purchase the food or wood resources as purchasing them will lead to increase of my total resources (e.g. purchase 50,000 food for 40,000 wood as well as purchase 50,000 wood for 40,000 food);
- I would purchase all the speedups using food or wood resources. The Healing speedups are useful in Ark of Osiris;
- Purchase Enhanced Gathering Speed Boosts on your farm account(s); and
- Purchase Equipment Materials on your main account. Tomes of Knowledge and Starlight Structures are optional purchases, depends on your specific needs at a point in time.
TAVERN

There are three types of chests in the Tavern that you can unlock with the corresponding type of keys to receive rewards.
Chest | Key |
---|---|
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
Chest | Rewards |

Silver Chest | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Equipment Chest | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Teachings from KangfuMaster:
- Collect your daily free Silver Chests. You should be able to claim between 3 and 10 free chests daily depending on the level of your Tavern (10 daily free Silver Chests for Tavern at level 25). Take note that there is a cooldown timer between each free Silver Chest.
- Collect your one free Golden Chest and one free Equipment Chest, that are available for you to claim every 2 to 3 days depending on the level of your Tavern (2 days for Tavern at level 25).
- As for using keys to unlock chests in the Tavern, would strongly suggest that you do so only after accumulating a large number of keys for any particular chest, and that you use all keys at one go for any chest. As a guide, I try to collect at least 100 keys for any chest before using them at one go to open a chest. In this way, you tend to be able to obtain rewards of higher rarity.
VIP LEVEL

Your VIP level grants you the following buffs and a daily free VIP chest which offers the following rewards:

You can increase your VIP level by accumulating VIP points, and you can obtain VIP points through:
- claiming your free 200 VIP points on a daily basis;


- Using items that grant VIP points, obtained as rewards in-game or from purchases in the Shop with Gems (1 VIP point cost 1 Gem); and


- Exchanging your Alliance Individual Credits for VIP points in the Alliance Shop.
VIP SHOP

The “VIP Shop” is located in the Shop structure in your city. Within the VIP Shop, you will find items available for purchase using food or gems. The items available will refresh on a weekly basis.

Teachings from KangfuMaster: Every week, you should purchase the items that are available for purchase using food. This would include the AP recovery bottles, 5-Minute Speedups and Equipment Materials Choice Chests. You can also consider optional purchases like the Starlight Sculptures.
LUCERNE SCROLLS

The Lucerne Scrolls is a series of challenges that is available at the Trading Post structure and you can gain rewards for completing each challenge. There are Weekly Challenges and Season Challenges. Weekly Challenges are released on a weekly basis over a period of 8 weeks, with each passing week unlocking a new set of challenges available for completion. Season Challenges are released at the beginning of each series and are also given the same 8 weeks to complete. At the end of 8 weeks, the challenges will expire and a new series will begin again.

Once a challenge is completed, you will gain points to upgrade your level in Lucerne Scroll. Once a level is upgraded, you may gain rewards in the “Rewards” tab of the Lucerne Scrolls interface.
CAMPAIGN – EXPEDITION
The Expedition Campaign allows you to challenge a stage-based battle system, where you are given a rating of between 1 and 3 stars based on your performance in completing a stage. You are rewarded for completing each battle stage, and also granted daily rewards based on the number of stage completions where you have achieved 3-stars.
Rewards include:
- Resources;
- Tomes of knowledge;
- Commander Sculptures (Advanced, Elite, Epic or Legendary);
- Starlight Sculptures (Ordinary, Brand-new, Dazzling);
- Treasure of the Warrior Queen – grants you chance to obtain Æthelflæd Sculptures, Epic Commander Sculpture, Golden Key or Silver Key;
- Æthelflæd sculptures; and
- Medal of the Conqueror.
Medals of the Conqueror can be used to purchase Æthelflæd sculptures (maximum 3 per day), random Commander Sculptures, random Starlight Sculptures or resources in the Expedition Medal Store.

Teachings from KangfuMaster: Suggest to spend your Medals of the Conqueror on the 3 Æthelflæd sculptures available each day. Æthelflæd is a good Legendary Commander with the Peacekeeping Talent with a skill that deals damage up to 5 targets in a forward-facing fan-shaped area and reduces the targets’ attack, defense and health by 30%. It is Æmazing.
CAMPAIGN – ARK OF OSIRIS
Ark of Osiris is a Campaign battle between two randomly-matched alliances that takes place every two weeks. This Campaign battle grants Alliance Rewards to all members of alliances on both the winning and losing sides, Participation Rewards to all registered participants, and Individual Rewards to members of the winning alliance based on their individual scores from the battle.
Alliance Rewards – for all members of winning alliance:

Alliance Rewards – for all members of defeated alliance:

Participation Rewards – All registered participants from winning alliance:

Participation Rewards – All registered participants from defeated alliance:

Individual Rewards – Members of the winning alliance

Individual Rewards – Members of the defeated alliance

CAMPAIGN – SUNSET CANYON
Sunset Canyon is a Campaign battle option that pips your troops against the other players in your Kingdom.

You can select the opposing player that you want to challenge, and you may deploy a maximum of 5 troops. Place your troops in one of 8 squares on the battlefield. The battle system is such that each of your front-row troops will attack the opponent’s front-row troop that is facing your troop first, followed by the back-row troop behind them. If there is no target directly facing your troop, your troop will attack the closest target. Defeat your opponent’s troops within specified time limit to claim victory. If neither side is eliminated by end of time limit, the side with most remaining troops will be victorious.
You will gain rating points for each victory or lose rating points for each defeat. Your rating points will determine your ranking and rewards. There will be daily rewards and season rewards based on your final ranking at end of each day and season respectively. Each season lasts 7 days. Points will be reset after end of each season. Rewards include Golden Keys, Silver Keys, Tomes of Knowledge, and Training Speedups.

Each player is given 4 free challenge attempts per day and additional attempts will cost a Challenge Ticket, which can be obtained from completing Daily Objectives.
Buffs from Commander levels, talents, equipment and VIP troop capacity boost will take effect in Sunset Canyon.
CAMPAIGN – OSIRIS LEAGUE
Participate in the Osiris League and Ark of Osiris battles to earn Osiris Coins, which can be exchanged for items in the Osiris League Shop.

Under the Osiris League, there are daily and weekly quests that you can accomplish to earn “Aurics” and “Mark of the Champion”, which are tokens that resemble betting chips.

As its appearance suggests, Aurics can be used as betting chips to bet on the winner in Osiris League matches. Winning a match bet allows you to share in the winners’ pot and receive more Aurics, while losing a match bet will cost you half of the Aurics that you have placed in the bet.

In the top-right hand corner of the “League Bets” page, you can access the Auric Shop where you can spend your Aurics to exchange for items.

In addition to betting on matches, you can also bet on the overall League Winner through the “Eye for Talent” event, using the “Mark of the Champion” tokens. Likewise, you can access the Champion Shop in the top-right hand corner of the “Eye for Talent” event page and spend your “Mark of the Champion” tokens in exchange for items.
