Level 22 Keep in 3 days



Here is an approach which allowed me to get to level 22 Keep in 3 days of normal play without spending any money, or receiving any donations from an alliance.
Level 22 Keep, Japan. 

  1. Join an active alliance which has at least a few players with level 28+ keep. They will be able to hunt boss monsters up to level 11, and event boss monsters to level 2. Event bosses would include: Lava Turtle, Ymir, Warlord, Witch, Junior Cerberus etc. Event bosses will give you RSS, and Cerberus - speed ups for growth. Most limiting factor till level 18 are speed ups.
  2. Participate in all boss monster rallies with single general and troop.
  3. Don't build troops at all: except 50-60 thousand level 1 ground troops not exceeding hospital capacity.
  4. Focus your resources and energy on rising Keep and Academy to level 22. Focus on only buildings that next Keep level requires.
  5. Use three builders for parallel development
    • before starting new construction always select building crown in monarch's gear
  6. Beyond rising Keep level you will need the following buildings upgraded: Warehouse, Rally Spot, Hospital, and Forge. They can be worked on when some of three builders are not engaged in rising your Keep level.
  7. At this stage don't spend too much on RSS buildings. Though for city layout - you want to have 5 of each to begin with: 5 farms, 5 sawmills, 5 quarries, 5 mines and 5 army camps. Later on you will switch to 7 of each RSS spots (farm, quarry, sawmill, mine), and 2 camps. Focus on a single army camp upgrades meanwhile, as they get pricey as level rises up.
  8. Overall, save on troops till your Keep reaches level 25-27. What to do after reaching level 25 is in a different post.
  9. "Crazy Eggs" quest. As you participate in rallies open up crazy eggs. 3 hammer egg gives you some gems, 6 hammers - stamina, 8 hammer one - gold, and 12 hammer one - more gems. If you manage to get 59-80 hammers you can get grand prize which is more gems, which means even more growth. Spend gems wisely. At this stage - for builders, and complementing remaining time you can't cover efficiently due to lack of smaller speed ups.
  10. Academy:

    • focus on Military section up until you can get plus two march slots;
    • then Advancement tab: Typography and Construction, as well as Advanced Typography and Construction
    • at level 22-23, Defense section: get to Medicine and Pharmacy to minimize cost of healing. That's important.
    • during research make sure to progress to the bottom: advanced sections of the same research cost less and give more.
    • always select research crown in your monarch gear before starting new research
Stay focused per this plan, and you will get to a meaningful starting point in one long weekend!

Note

It took another 10 days to get to a keep of level 25. Very focused development up though: goal was to get to Academy level 25, which allows for third and fourth march slots; as well as getting enough VIP points to get to level 5, which allows for another march slot. This way we can participate in most of the rallies an alliance can have.

Then upgrades to Typography and Super Typography in Academy (Advancement, first section) as this reduces time of research itself, as well as Constructions and Super Construction (same section), as well as Medicine (in Defense section of Academy).

Follow main quest moving forward.

Generals for gathering

Image
Gathering is a valuable activity you can perform to develop your army and castle in Evony. One of the main ones. It is also part of Monarch competition, and King's Path quests. Which at those times increases its already high weight in overall development model. Let’s explore how: speed can be increased made more efficient through increased load and gathering bonuses de-risked in event of a rogue players Speeding Up Gathering There are four items to keep in mind when it comes to gathering speed: Having right general Training generals right: skills, stars, and level Having right general equipment Having boosts selected accordingly Generals Evony allows up to 6 marches. Thus to maximize output of gathering a player needs around 10–12 well equipped and trained generals. Queen Jindeok  This one is ultimate general, and eventually you want to have 6 of them. They give  40%  bonus when gathering from world resources, and 20% bonus - from alliance ones (e.g. alliance mine). Thi...

Relics

Image
Relics are one of the key development resources in Evony. They provide various artifacts and resources. This includes: general fragments, gold, gems, experience, blood of Ares, materials etc. They are perfect: Image 1. An opened relic. when you are starting with game and do not have enough troops, and research for gathering: relics provide much more resources per troop on initial cycles of the game play; when you don't have a lot of time to play the game: you can send troops to explore relics once in a day, or two, and send them again the following evening. Relics like RSS spots on the world map can be attacked after opening by other players outside of your alliance. Multiple alliance members are able to send troops in the same time to the same relic. This would increase speed of resource gathering from that relic while other players are there. Relic levels Relics can be of 6 levels. Level 1 to 5 relics, and mysterious (level 6) relic. Each level is restricted by your keep. Hence t...
