Swagbucks has the Elvenar game offer set to 1,250 SB currently. It used to be 500 SB, so this is a good increase in points and makes it worthwhile to complete in my opinion. You just need to unlock Ancient Wonders in Chapter II of the Tech Tree within 30 days. I managed to finish the research in 5 days, it then took 10 days to collect all the sigils to “Unlock” the construction. Here is a direct link to the offer: https://www.swagbucks.com/offer?oid=18630&rb=69384823

If you are not already a member of Swagbucks, FreeCash, MyPoints, or InboxDollars; I strongly suggest you sign up. These sites are a great source of extra income for spontaneous purchases.

This will require a total of 343 Knowledge Points (KP) to complete Secret Ancient Wonders technology. A portion of these points will be paid during the Tutorial and can be disregarded. On the research tree for the first chapter (age) you need to get everything except for Squad Size upgrades.

Starting in chapter 2 you only need to research Advanced Scouts (25KP), Advanced Residences (42KP), and Advanced Marble/Steel/Planks (32KP)/(28KP)/(30KP). Secret Ancient Wonders costs a final 35KP. This should complete the offer terms.

I would strongly suggest not building any Event buildings in your city as they take up a great deal of space and will hamper your ability to complete this offer quickly. Your primary focus should be clearing Encounters on the World Map and completing Storyline objectives. You’ll run out of Gold frequently, but have more supply than you can store. The HQ determines how much resources you can have on hand. I would suggest upgrading to level 3 HQ.

The Encounters are your main source of Knowledge Points, it doesn’t matter if you fight or trade, either option will work. You should be able to clear the first chapter on day 1. A number of Sideline-Story objectives will also reward you with KP, so keep an eye out for those.

You will get sigils by giving aid to neighboring towns and by clearing map locations.

You can claim a freebie in the Shop every day, top-right of the screen. In the game settings, there is an option for “Data Usage.” This game collects a lot more data than others you may be familiar with and depending on how you feel about that sort of thing you may want to disable or opt out of a lot of it.

UPDATE: As of July 2022, most, if not all, versions of the Raid Offer have been changed to require you to open 3 Sacred shards and require a purchase. It may no longer be possible to do this offer as Free-to-Play.

I originally wrote an offer guide for RAID Shadow Legends in October 2021. I recently reinstalled the game to challenge myself to complete the tougher offer terms.

Just to be clear, I am not making the offer again. I am no longer a new user and do not qualify to complete it. I am just playing for fun with the offer terms as my goal.

I found a version of the offer on Lootably with 5 objectives that piqued my interest.

• Complete Tutorial
• Make your first purchase
• Collect 2 Void Shards
• Collect 4 Void Shards
• Collect 6 Void Shards

EDIT: 2/07/22 I found 2 extra ways of getting void shards within the time limit. The daily login rewards get you 2 shards, and the clan boss chest gets another. You can potentially get multiple Void Shards if you are in a strong Clan that beats the boss regularly throughout the week. It took 12 days to get all six of the Void Shards that this offer would have required.

There is also the more popular “Get 2 Sacred Shards” version, but that mostly gets done through purchases. Opening my wallet may well be a challenge, but not one I dare attempt.

For anyone interested in a money-maker deal, this offer was listed for $55. The shop has an offer of $9.99 for 3 Void Shards that show up at level 15. Similar thing for Sacred Shards, but it costs $15 per Shard, so only do that if you are getting $80-$90 back in points.

I checked online and found 3 game codes that were still active. You can only redeem them once per day. Mostly, it was Energy and Arena tokens; the multi-battle ones did not work. One code did get me the blue 3-star Mother Superior hero. She works great for healing in my campaign lineup.

For the Void Shards, there are many ways they can be earned through gameplay, without spending money.

• Complete the campaign on Normal mode.
• 3-star completion of Normal Campaign.
• Login Reward Day 12 & 29.
• Complete Daily quests for 30 days.
• Clan Boss Chest Rewards.
• A referred friend reaches level 30 (max 3).
• Reach level 75. (Sacred Shard at 60).

This just leaves me missing 1 Void Shard. I’ve got 30 days until I get the Daily Quest shard, which coincidentally will also include a Sacred shard for other cleared objectives.

I started the game on January 26th at 9:56PM (EST). I am looking forward to the challenge. I finished the campaign on Normal on my 3rd day of play.

My hero lineup for the campaign includes my starter, Galek (Orcs), Warpriest (Sacred Order), Mother Superior (Sacred Order), and Deacon Armstrong (Sacred Order). For the Dungeon battles, I also include Valerie (Banner Lords).

Galek is equipped with the Life Steal and Immortal gear sets. He is 4-star and fully ascended.

Warpriest is also a 4-star and has 3 ascensions. She has on the Life and Divine Life sets.

Deacon Armstrong is a lucky Purple 4-star hero I got from an Ancient Shard. He is wearing Life and Speed gear.

Mother Superior whom I got from a gift code, is a 3-star hero. She is fully ascended and wears the Life and Divine Offense sets.

For Dungeon battles, I also bring Valerie a 3-star fully ascended Banner Lords hero. She has on the Offense and Life sets.

1/14/22: Multiple reports on Reddit suggest that the offer no longer credits early at 4 stars. If this is true then the time investment for the offer will increase a great deal. Be advised: This offer guide has been edited to complete the 4-star terms. Of course, once you hit the 4th star you will be able to see exactly what is needed to get to the 5th, so the guide is still useful.

There are additional versions of the offer: 3 Gold Generals / 1 Gold Equipment / Occupy a Purple Fort. The reward amount varies depending on which version you attempt.

Hey folks. I previously did a post about why you should avoid doing the Swagbucks offer through Adgem for Evony: The Kings Return. After a little more research, I found that the time allotment for the offer was actually 30 days and that got me thinking it may be doable. The offer requires you to get a “General to 5 stars” (goes Pending at 4 stars) and this guide will focus on meeting that requirement with the utmost efficiency. I cannot tell you how many generic guides I found floating around on the internet rehashing really bad gameplay strategies. Another gripe I have is I couldn’t find any hard numbers as far as what it takes to complete actions and activities, especially related to Alliances.

General & Monarch: So first off we have the leveling requirements for the offer. General to 4 stars. You’ll want to do this using a Common (White) general as they cost less to upgrade compared to the higher-tier generals.

Next, your general’s level cannot exceed your monarch (player) level so you are going to have to grind all the way up to level 18. We will only be using the Common general for the offer requirements but not actually using them to fight.

Your best choice for monster hunting is Spartacus which you get for free on the 2nd day I think.

Cleopatra, you get from doing mini-games and she is good as well for monsters. For gathering Gems I would suggest Constance, I got her randomly, maybe you’ll get lucky too.

Constance gets a 20% bonus for however many resources she gathers after completion. So if I hit a 1000 Gem mine I get an extra 200 gems when she finishes.

Medals: The first star costs 20 Medals and 200k Gold. You get Medals from killing monsters mostly but you will have other opportunities. On the first day of play there is a “Shopping Spree” offer to purchase 70 Medals using Gems.

This is a must for getting those stars and if you miss it you’re in for an extra long grind. You can also buy Medals in the Store for 100 Gems each but this is inefficient. At Marketplace level 11 you will have a chance to buy 20 Medals for 1300 Gems and this is worth the purchase.

When fighting monsters you will generally get 1 Medal per fight but on monsters level 15+ you will sometimes get 2 Medals. Some Generals will also get 2x bonuses on drop rate. General Skill books can also add this drop rate chance to general abilities. The “Poem” world events will also provide some Medals.

Culture: Arabia is the best choice for the offer. There have been changes to the bonuses each culture gets for rebalancing and many guides and wikis are not up to date. Arabia gets a 5% bonus to “Offerings” which will increase your monarch EXP and 5% to Gem harvesting speed, also cavalry units are improved.

When choosing Talents after leveling up your monarch make sure you take the Offering talent. You can only choose 1 talent on each tier and a reset costs 2000 gems so be careful.

Mini Games: The mini-games really get pushed as being integral to the game in the advertising but they really aren’t.

You should still do them, they’re easy for the most part and you will get Cleopatra and Sanada Yukimura generals for doing them. Cleopatra is the one with the 2x Drop rate bonus.

Buildings: You won’t really get many resources from the onsite resource buildings. I would suggest only making 1 each of the Sawmill/Quarry/Ore Mine. The game will spam you with endless resources so no worries.

For farms go ahead and fill all the spots you can and put Army camps in the rest of the spots, maybe 4 camps. You’ll want enough food to manage your Unit upkeep. Otherwise, only upgrade buildings as needed to get the Keep upgraded.

Oh, and the Rally Flag; you’ll want that to hit 12 at least for hunting monsters above level 16. The Shrine will be used for Offerings and you want that to hit maybe level 10 and make 6 offerings per day.

The Art Hall, Prison, Forge, Arsenal, and Holy Palace are all unnecessary.

Units: Choose a single unit type such as Archer or Cavalry and only make those. Avoid siege units at all costs. You can heal your injured troops but you have to pay gems to repair siege machines and they can bankrupt you fast.

You need all your gems to complete the offer. The way combat mechanics work in this game if you lose 10% of your units you automatically fail the attack. Combat goes in an order with each unit type taking turns fighting starting with cavalry units and damage is spread out equally among all units involved in the fight.

You can limit wounded units by only sending in a single type and only the highest tier of the unit. This will cut down on your downtime when grinding for medals.

Alliance: Everyone said you should join a big alliance and I found it to be the single worst bit of advice. It’s a complete waste of time. In other games, I can see it makes sense as the speedups for construction and gift freebies can be amazing.

I really found it made very little difference in reducing time on my buildings and I ended up rushing them with speedup items in the end. There is a lot to do when in an alliance and you may find yourself with a cadre of dictator types leading the lot.

I saw more than once someone get booted from an alliance and then raided by the group right soon after joining, just for not changing their default name right away.

Rallys & Bosses: Rallys just cost too much Stamina to be worth it at 15 pts each. 4 rallies could be 10 monster attacks which means 10-20 Medals.

The rally does have the potential to get extra Medals but it is hit and miss for the most part and you can very quickly spend all of your stamina. The math better favors grinding monsters solo.

There are a few missions that expect you to kill bosses but you can still do those solo or possibly join an alliance to get them clear and then bail.

Star Ranking: The first star requires Monarch level 5 and 20 Medals/200k Gold, 2nd star is level 10 and 40 Medals/400k gold, 3rd star is level 14 and 160 Medals/800k gold, 4th star is level 18 and 400 Medal/1.6 million gold.

So you can see it is a real grind and you have 30 days to manage this effort. The 70 Medals from the Shopping Spree will really take the edge off and buying Medals from the Black Market is good too.

If you do Offerings you will get 10 Medals at the 3rd chest and 20 Medals at the 6th chest, the 12th chest gives 40 Medals but I never got that far, the 16th gives 80 Medals. You should buy Monarch EXP at the black market if it shows up in sets of 5k or 10k EXP and keep an eye out for other opportunities to get Monarch EXP.

Purchases: The first purchase you make will set all of the 99-cent packages up to 4.99 so I would only suggest getting a 99-cent package.

The base terms of the offer are only 12 bucks so spending more than a dollar would be a pain. You’ll start with a “Double Reward” item that will give you 2x whichever package you buy first.

I bought the Gems pack that gives 3000 Gems so that doubled to 6000 and I spent some on 3-day peace shields and the rest on Stamina for grinding.

I saved up free Gems to buy the Mulan refundable general and I sent out Constance to gather gems 24/7.

So it is a slog, but doable. Don’t bother with the 7-day peace shield it is way overpriced. You will keep your beginner’s shield up until Keep level 10 so don’t worry about getting attacked early on.

The 3-day peace shield costs 2.5k gems and you can gather that much in 3 days so you could keep a perpetual shield up throughout the offer period and be safe. No one ever attacked my troops out gathering but that may have been luck.

There is no Search function in the game so expect a lot of scrolling to find stuff like monsters and Gem mines.

There are many wikis and fan sites for Evony: TKR but not a single one had a listing of the Star cost of generals. I think they have all been made by endgame types who can’t remember the rough times of their youth.

You just get this one-sided impression of the game. Certainly, this guide is one-sided; but it is supposed to be one-sided. We’re here to make money, not win the game!

(Each level costs 100k more exp than the previous. I can now see why it took that one guy 5 years to hit 33. A 10k exp time costs 680 gems in the black market. Level 19 would have been 900k exp so 90*680=61,200 gems to reach 19 which would cost $300. Repeating that for 20-25 is just crazy.)
