Question 1

Is Conqueror's Blade pay-to-win?

Accepted Answer

While micro-transactions can speed up progress, nothing reachable in a reasonable amount of time is locked away, and there are no impactful items behind pay to win.

Question 2

What settings should I use?

Accepted Answer

Some settings matter a lot, they give you crucial information. Menu by menu: Game Riding Mode: Steer with Mouse or Steer with Keys, mostly preference, but Steer with Mouse allows faster, sharper turns. Artillery Menu: personal preference. Assisted Aiming: class dependent, check the class guides . Units Color: preference, pick colors that are easy to see on the battlefield. Keyboard In Change Keys, go through every bind and put unit formations on easily reachable keys. In General, set sensitivity and whether to sprint or roll by double tapping. Once your formation keys are bound you can disable “Double tap to cycle formations”. UI Disable “Attire Camera Effect” for clarity and “Close Battle Minimap” for more info. Disable “Competition Livestream Mode” unless you are streaming. Reduce the overall UI size for visibility, anything under 90% is a good range. Graphic Use full window mode if you can, limit FPS to your monitor refresh rate, disable Vertical Sync if you are over 60Hz, and avoid Super Sampling. Reducing the max players visible in fiefs gives a big FPS boost. Check the FPS Guide for the full graphic-settings walkthrough. Camera Maybe the most important menu. Choose Normal Mode over Camera Mode, and do yourself a favour: zoom out as much as possible for better visibility. Disable “Kill Cam (Specific Weapon Only)” for better camera control with the DB and Poleaxe ultimate. Sound Keep it high enough to hear flanking cavalry, the rest is personal preference.

Question 3

What does every button and menu do?

Accepted Answer

As with any MMO, take a few minutes to open each menu and get familiar. It saves you a lot of “I wish I knew this sooner” moments. Keybinds may differ from yours, so go by the menu, not the letter. S Appears during special events, usually farming resources for a global pool in exchange for rewards. V Everything seasonal: battle pass, weekly challenges, the Season Challenge menu (change your seasonal focus to unlock units), the Campaign menu, the Seasonal Seal system , seasonal runes and the Seasonal Store. G Box Exchange menu. A time-limited box plus a permanent box you open with keys from activities, and an attire exchange with a pity system for duplicate skins. C The Store. The New Players and Returning Players packs are worth a look, the rest is typical and not too pay to win. I Your character page: reset stats, change runes, skins (Character), your mount (Mount), abilities (Skills) and performance stats (Career). U All your units: equip doctrines, choose veterancy paths, level units and preset your warband. Some units require unlocking others first. X The Doctrines menu : excavate with treatises or use the Doctrine Alchemy system. Check the bottom of the menu for the exchange button. Tab Your inventory. J Current quests and weekly objectives. Do as many as you can (bandit raids, crafting, fief quests). Daily quests can reset twice a day, so make the most of it. T Your main button to start game modes, see upcoming events and begin tutorial missions. O Crucial for new and returning players: progress pass and daily login rewards, plus Activities (exchange Territory War tokens, Mastery Scrolls and Supply Tokens) and News. K Friends list, create or join groups. N The House menu. Y Your mailbox, check it for messages and rewards. Esc Options: settings and keybindings. F7 Same menu as O (progress pass, rewards, activities). W Support and live assistance. Top Right (Line Menu) The game splits players into parallel worlds. If you cannot see friends, switch to the same line. Bottom Right Map and FPS/Ping. The minimap is very customizable: circular for close awareness, square for the wider area. Bottom Left Chat window. Hide local chat, disable world chat or make alliance/whisper channels to suit your playstyle.

Question 4

What does the community slang mean?

Accepted Answer

Every abbreviation and nickname the community uses, from CCi and brace to arty and 3-6-9, lives on the Glossary page in plain language, grouped by combat and tactics, units and warbands, doctrines, and modes and gear. It is kept up to date there, so nothing goes stale.

Question 5

Question 6

What is the difference between a House and a Cohort?

Accepted Answer

You join one or the other. A House is a player made guild, run by players. A Cohort is the game's own version of the same thing. A Cohort is kind of made to be mercenary, but that is not what it ended up being used for. In practice it is where people go to chill, farm Territory War currency and never really do anything. See also: House Finder if you are looking for a House, and Territory War and the seasonal system .

Question 7

Should I expand my storage?

Accepted Answer

You buy it, either in the C-Shop or from the smuggler NPC. It costs a lot. You do not need it. Manage your inventory properly and you can go your whole adventure as a new player without ever buying a slot.

Question 8

How does XP work, and how do I level fast?

Accepted Answer

You max your hero's attributes quickly, usually by level 80 to 100. XP is earned in any match, and the units you bring gain XP too. If all your units are max level, the XP is stored in a shared pool in your Units-Menu to level other units later. It is heavily recommended to play a fully leveled warband and level new units from that Stored XP. The fastest leveling is Bandit Raids until you hit the weekly XP cap. These PvE matches take about 5 minutes and give the most XP, so stack XP bonuses before running them. The limit is now a cap on XP earned per week, not on how many battles you can run, so once you have maxed it out sieges are your next best option. In a Bandit Raid you and four others clear bots, groups are marked with an exclamation point. Around 80 kills gives roughly 90% of the XP, though you still want 100+ unit kills to score A+ and clear the weekly bandit-raid quests. High damage T4 cavalry (Companion Cavalry, Kriegsbruder, Prefecture Cavalry) turn each raid into a sub two minute speedrun. Use XP boosts during raids, especially at the start of a season for runes. The O-menu “fulfill daily/weekly quests” option lets you spend bronze for a portion of missed rewards, useful for fast XP. This is mainly worth it for new players leveling for stats, or for runes (unlocked at seasonal level 50). Beyond that you are just wasting bronze, extra account levels give no further benefit.

Question 9

How do I farm honor as a new player?

Accepted Answer

Honour is one of the most valuable resources in Conqueror's Blade, and earning it steadily is a big part of your progression. The best ways to farm it as a new player: Sieges, Deathmatch and Free Battles These modes earn up to 20,000 honour per week. They are great for practising tactics, hero builds and unit strategies while you bank a steady supply, so aim to hit the weekly cap. Fief quests Up to 20 per week, and the fastest way to clear them is gathering horse mounts. Head to a horse farm in the open world, gather 4 to 5 times, then visit different fiefs to turn in the quests, which reward honour for delivering set amounts of Jennets or Coursers. Plan efficient gather and delivery routes to save time. See also how fief quests work . Weekly quest chests Completing your weekly quests rewards blue and purple chests that hold big amounts of honour. Make these a priority every week. Ranked games Ranked is a reliable source of honour medals each week: reaching 2 wins and then 5 wins gives small rewards that include medals you redeem for important upgrades. On top of the weekly rewards, hitting certain ranks gives one-time rewards instantly plus an end-of-season reward, and these often include honour, so pushing your rank is a valuable boost. Level your battle pass Earning glory levels your battle pass, which hands out honour medals as rewards. Focus on these methods and your honour income climbs steadily, helping you unlock new units, improve your warband and rise through the ranks.

Question 10

How do fief quests work?

Accepted Answer

Fief quests are one of the best sources of honour, house progression and crafting materials. They live inside fiefs: open the map, click a fief, then Overview, then Fief Quest, or just talk to the Brigadier in the city. The principle is simple: bring a specific resource or trophy, in the amount the quest asks for, to that fief. On completion you get the rewards shown in the right-hand panel, plus the extra rewards under Other Rewards if your house owns the location. Rewards A fief quest can give you: Honour , for unlocking units and unit upgrades. House experience , which levels your house so it can capture cities and forts. Reputation points , used to build advanced camps. Unit kit chests , which save you silver on repairing your troops' weapons. Construction materials , used to raise a fief's level (more on that below). Limits Fief quests reset on Sunday evening and stay active for one week. You can complete no more than 20 quests per week. To check your count, open a fief, go to Fief Quests, and look at the bottom left. Each quest in a fief has a total completion limit shared by everyone. In Hebao, for example, the granite quest might sit at 140 out of 400. Once the total is reached, nobody can complete it anymore. The same quest can only be done once per day, so at most 7 times a week in the same fief. Because of this it pays to plan your week. Aiming for around 3 quests a day lets you focus only on the best quests across your fiefs. Quest levels Fief quests have levels: the more stars a quest has, the better its rewards. A fief's own level decides the quests it offers. Jiedi at level 1 only gives 1 to 2 star quests, while a higher-level fief like Hebao offers up to 5 stars. Only the baron can upgrade a fief the house owns, and only once the fief has built up a set amount of construction materials (shown on the fief itself). Hebao, for example, needs 300,000 construction materials to level up. Those come from fief quests completed by house members in house-owned fiefs, plus the tributes your house receives every Sunday morning for the fiefs it holds. Higher-level fiefs produce more tribute, so upgrading your fiefs quickly matters for both rewards and house progression. Types of fief Not every fief is the same, and the type shapes the quests and rewards it offers: Village: small and unwalled, with fief quests and basic crafting. Cheapest to level, so the usual pick for building. Town: walled and worth far more prestige, starts at a higher level with instant access to tier 4 and 5 quests, but costs much more to maintain. Fort: a defensible chokepoint that can block movement through a region, though it rarely has resource nodes. Gate: only basic crafting and no resources, but each is worth a lot of end-of-season triumphs and can be needed to enter the Conqueror's City fight. Capital City: the region hub with every NPC and service, the most lucrative and the hardest to hold. Trade Colony: a safe town that cannot be attacked, with a trading post and a smuggler selling high-level unit kits. Quest rewards scale with a fief's level, more than doubling at the top, so higher-level fiefs are the ones to prioritize. A common building tip: take a fief to level 4 to start earning the bonus rewards on turn-ins, then stockpile enough materials to jump straight to level 7 in one go, which skips the heavy upkeep drain at levels 5 and 6. Resource respawn The rarity of resources on the map changes day to day. A copper mine near your city might be grey on Monday (one type of copper) and purple on Tuesday (a different type). This matters a lot when a quest asks for a specific resource, so check the map before you set out to gather. Who can harvest where How many times you can harvest a node depends on your relationship with the house that owns it: 3 if it is in your own house's territory. 2 if it is in an alliance member's territory. 1 if the territory allows harvesting but is not in your alliance. 0 if the territory forbids harvesting. Requisitions are the exception: a requisition order lets you harvest regardless of your relationship with the owner. You get requisition orders by logging in daily (certain days, especially Sunday, give one), from vault rooms (most often after a bandit camp, sometimes after other activities like sieges), from the Vae Victis and 5 Battles daily quests, and from abandoned wagons, dilapidated huts and similar spots. Getting the resources Split what a quest needs into two types: Trophies , mostly from rebel camps in large amounts, and in smaller amounts from nearby bandits, the auction house, or the odd abandoned house or wagon. Standard resources , gathered directly from production sites. Take the Hebao Cedar Wood Supply quest, which wants 34,000 cedar wood. First hover the quest to see if you already have enough in stock. If not, check the resource's rarity (purple here) and find a matching purple sawmill. Go there with units, harvest, then return to the quest fief to turn it in, watching for players who might attack you on the way. Bring one combat unit for defence just in case, and harvest on Line 2 or 3 rather than Line 1, where you are far less likely to run into other players. To switch lines, click Line at the top right and pick another. Harvest optimization Your productivity index depends on your army composition: the higher the ratio, the more you gather (handy for lowering taxes or spending fewer requisition orders). The default best setup is 5 level 7 serf units with the harvesting veterancy (bottom line), or 4 serfs plus 1 combat unit such as cavalry if you expect trouble on the way. Also check the technologies under U, which boost harvesting a lot. They unlock with harvesting experience, gained every time you gather at a production site. Three last tips: always carry rations in your wagon, since running out makes you harvest 50% less; you can buy resources straight from the auction house instead of farming them; and quests of the same level do not always give identical rewards, so compare before you commit.

Question 11

How do I unlock seasonal units?

Accepted Answer

Seasonal units are unlocked in your V-Menu, under Seasonal Challenge. Use the top right to swap to older seasons, then complete the challenges of the unit you want to unlock it. How long it really takes There is no honest number of weeks, it depends how hard you push. What most people do is play four or five games per challenge page and pay for the rest. That is by far the least annoying way to do it. Only some of the quests are worth actually focusing on: the ones that want a number of kills from your units, or a PvE win. The rest turn over on their own while you play. See also: the V-Menu and every menu explained and the season system .

Question 12

What are unit doctrines?

Accepted Answer

Doctrines are special modifiers you add to a unit to improve its stats and abilities: more damage, better defense, faster cooldowns and so on. Each unit has five doctrine slots, and doctrines come in rarities (Uncommon, Rare, Epic and up) with levels I to V once Epic. The most common way to get them is excavation with treatises via the X menu . You can also use the Doctrine Alchemy system . Equip them through your U menu. Some doctrines are specific to unit types (ranged, melee, crossbow, archer, lance cav, sword cav), which you can see by hovering the unit, and some are unique to a single unit. Choosing the right ones matters a lot, follow the recommended doctrines in each unit's guide . For what every doctrine does and which units can slot it, see the Doctrines page .

Question 13

How do treatises and doctrine alchemy work?

Accepted Answer

Overview A doctrine enhances a single unit. As units level, they equip more doctrines, up to five at level 10. Equipping Slots unlock at levels 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10. Activation: hold left-click on a doctrine's icon in the unit's doctrine page (Warband tab) to activate it. Unit-specific: once activated a doctrine is tied to that unit, unless removed with Lotus Water. Families: only one doctrine per family at a time, activating another from the same family overwrites it. Some doctrines cannot combine on one unit (for example Stamina and Assault). How to get them Excavation: the main method, treatises are consumed to excavate random doctrines. New players should wait for the infantry (and secondarily cavalry) rotation for a better epic chance before dumping treatises. Doctrine Alchemy: combine existing doctrines into new ones from a special pool. Sacrificed doctrines are lost, but you can get higher level or exclusive doctrines. Season Challenges: unlock seasonal unit-specific doctrines. Doctrine Boxes: Epic, Rare or Seasonal selection boxes, some let you choose. Tips Focus units you actually use, and match doctrines to their strengths. Save Lotus Water for removing high value doctrines. Use Alchemy sparingly, on low value or duplicate doctrines. During seasonal events, complete challenges to unlock exclusive doctrines. Watch for free doctrine removal events to re-optimize at no cost. Fusion recipes Which fusion recipe to run, from the community alchemy fusion chart. Points is the recipe's total point value, Formula is the mix of doctrine types you feed in, and the drop rate is the average chance of each doctrine tier (I to V) from one fusion. Points Formula When to use Doctrine chance Drop rate (I to V) 1200 8 When Pure Wisdom or Pure Spirit is available 100% IV 50%, V 50% 400 8 When you have over 16 Epic doctrines, wisdom or reagents 100% III 30%, IV 55%, V 15% 100 4-3-1 Turn Rares into Epics 40% I 50%, II 38%, III 13% 40 8 Turn Uncommons into Rares and Epics 12% I 58%, II 42% 16 8 Turn Commons into Rare wisdom and reagents 2% I 100% Common or grey doctrines can be swapped for Uncommon or green ones with no real change to the drop rate. The tempering bar Each sacrifice adds temper value by rarity: Common 2, Uncommon 5, Rare 10, Epic 50. The bar fills to 5,000, then resets and guarantees a random tier 5 Epic doctrine, so reach that 5,000 with your lowest-value doctrines (greys) to get it cheaply. A Pure Wisdom triples the temper value of the next sacrifice, so save it for a batch of 8 Epic doctrines or wisdoms. Press Escape during the sacrifice animation to skip it.

Question 14

Can I remove a doctrine from a unit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It costs Lotus Water, 1 to 5 of it depending on the doctrine's rarity, and Lotus Water is a shop item, so normally that means real money unless you picked some up from an event. Wait for a doctrine removal event instead. Removal is free while one is running and they come around often, so there is rarely a reason to pay. They get pinged on the CBGG Discord . See also: what are unit doctrines and treatises and doctrine alchemy .

Question 15

Can I reset a unit's veterancy path?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is free up to level 200. After that it costs a scroll, which you buy with silver from the smuggler. You should not need it often though. Check the unit's guide and pick the right path from the start: patch notes rarely move the meta veterancy, so most people go a whole season without ever swapping one.

Question 16

How do masteries work?

Accepted Answer

Masteries let you upgrade specific units to their Mastery version for improved stats and abilities. It uses the Uncommon Scroll of Mastery and the Rare Scroll of Mastery. Green units: from level 10, 75 Green scrolls and 10 Blue scrolls. Blue units: from level 10, 120 Green scrolls and 20 Blue scrolls. Purple units: from level 12, 195 Green scrolls and 30 Blue scrolls. Where the scrolls come from 50x Uncommon weekly from the supply token exchange (5 per supply token). Honour store: 15x Uncommon weekly (300 honour for the first 5, then 450 each), and 5x Rare weekly (2000 for the first, then 3000 each). 350x Uncommon at 200 honour for the first 150 then 250 for the next 200 (does not refresh). 17x Uncommon from the Path to War challenges. Special events regularly hand out both scrolls. 5x Uncommon exchange for 1x Rare at the Mastery Scroll Exchange (Activities tab, hotkey O). Exception: Mace Sergeants use Uncommon and Rare Scroll of Mastery: Mace Power instead, from the Cadet's Trials tutorial quests (enough to fully upgrade one unit) and the honour store.

Question 17

Does an honour tree node affect other units?

Accepted Answer

There are rare cases of honour tree nodes affecting more than the unit right next to them. Most first nodes on each tree affect every unit, but after that it becomes rare. You can explore any unit's nodes in our Honor Tree tool . Previously some units “upgraded” from an honour tree unit into a seasonal one. That is changed now, every unit is unique, but the old honour tree nodes still affect these seasonal units. For example: Yeomen nodes affect Armigers. Pyro-Lancer nodes affect Liao's. Halberdiers nodes affect Landsknechts. Men-At-Arms nodes affect Paladins. Spear Sergeants nodes affect Stalwarts.

Question 18

How does the armour system work?

Accepted Answer

There are three armor types: Light, Medium and Heavy. Weapons are restricted by armor type, you cannot equip a heavier weapon in lighter armor, but you can equip a lighter weapon in heavier armor. In general light armor suits hero killers, heavy armor suits units, support and tanking, and medium is a balanced mix. To choose the right setup, follow the crafting FAQ .

Question 19

How does honing work, and where do I get the currency?

Accepted Answer

Honing requires a reforged item with 3 different stats above 60% of their max value (max value shows at the bottom right when reforging). It raises stats step by step (random +3 to +8), fully RNG, and your chance of a successful increase drops the closer a stat is to its max. All the ways to get the currency 20x in the Battle Pass (10x free) 20x in the Ranked Shop 10x in the Fame Shop 6x per week in the supply exchange (weekly shop) 6x per week from premium (weekly quest) Pay to win: 4x per week for 800 souvs, 100x for 36000 souvs, plus a monthly pack for 1k souvs There are two upgrade systems and the order matters a lot. Reforging is rerolling your gear's stats. You get a new version with random stats and rarity (Rare, Epic, Legendary, better rarity means more stats), then keep the old item or take the new one. Legendary is about a 2% roll, but there is a pity system, guaranteed within 60 tries. The Lock button protects one stat through the reroll, so lock your good stat and gamble the rest. Locking freezes that stat at its current number, so only lock once you like the value (often 80%+ of max on one of your two main stats). Honing is leveling the stats you already have. It will not add stats or change rarity, and each hone randomly picks one stat to bump. Fewer stats means your important stat gets picked more often, so junk stats make maxing your key stat take forever. Armor: go for Leadership (sometimes labelled Influence), it lets you field more troops. It caps at 25 per piece, but do not chase a perfect 25, going 20 to 25 costs way more than reaching 20. Weapons: lock your two main stats, normally a damage stat plus its matching penetration. Get one high, lock it, reroll for the second, and keep the weapon clean. The big mistake: finish all reforging FIRST, hone LAST. If you hone then reforge, taking the new roll wipes your honing progress. Order to remember: reroll, lock the keepers, chase the other main stat, then hone. With Equipment Inheritance , inherit before you hone too. Build your stat weapon, build your new Epic bonus weapon, move the stats over, THEN hone. Keep all your hone stones for that first perfect weapon. The moved stats lose 8% and honing is re-checked against the new weapon's caps: each one must still be above 60% of max AFTER the merge, or you cannot hone it and you are stuck. The one exception: if a stat would land under 60%, hone it on the stat weapon first until it clears, then transfer. Requirements: gear must be made from Rare or Epic schematics, and an item needs at least 3 stats at 60%+ of max before it can be honed.

Question 20

Why can't I equip this weapon?

Accepted Answer

If you have the correct armor for the weapon but still cannot use it, usually one of these is true: You have not unlocked the weapon in your skill menu (P then Skills). The weapon is seasonal and locked behind challenges (for example Maul, Pike, Chain Dart & Scimitar). For attributes, hover the stats to see what each one gives. Every weapon focuses on a primary damage type (Slashing, Piercing or Blunt), so adjust your stats to match. The weapon guides have the full breakdown.

Question 21

How does crafting work, and how do I get Leadership?

Accepted Answer

Crafting is fairly simple at first and gets deeper as you go. There are three schematic types: Green, Blue and Epic, each ranging from Blue to Legendary rarity (Epic schematics only come in Epic and Legendary). Rarity does not decide if a craft is good, the BONUS (the yellow + stats) does. Green schematics are entry level, outgrown around level 50 to 80. Blue schematics are the standard for most players, from tutorials, weekly drops and beginner quests. Heavy = Guardsman's, Medium = Carnifex's, Light = Rogue's. Epic schematics are the rarest and the endgame goal, much better base stats plus a unique passive on armor. Consider crafting the weapon first, or waiting for 4 Epic boxes to craft a full armor set for the passives. See which Epic armor is for which class , and how to obtain Epic schematics . At the Smith, crafting gives Blue, Epic or Legendary quality (not to be confused with schematic rarity), with random stats from a pool: 3 stats for blue, 4 for purple, 6 for gold. Stats beat quality, a blue item with good stats beats a legendary with bad stats. After crafting you can reforge with stones to add base stats, and lock one stat to protect it. Lock Leadership on armor 99% of the time (best value, hardest to get), and on weapons lock the damage or penetration of your main stat and aim for the second. Reforge toward the recommended stats for your class . Why Craft beats Reforge for Leadership. A reforge keeps the stat you locked by default, then rolls 4 or 5 affixes depending on rarity. But the game can still roll the very stat you locked: you won't see it move, the lock takes priority, and that roll is simply lost, so you can end up one affix short. That is why crafting is much better than reforging to get Leadership. Reforging with a lock is how you polish the RNG on a piece you already like. Crafting order for a new player. Craft a full set first and equip it unreforged: the set bonus already outscales your starting items. Then keep crafting piece by piece. The moment a piece rolls Leadership, lock it and reforge it once. From there, keep crafting for the slot with the least Leadership, lock, reforge once, and replace the older piece. Weapons. Start early with a Blue schematic weapon, they are nothing to worry about. Once you go Epic, the goal changes with Equipment Inheritance : craft an Epic schematic weapon for the STATS, and a new Epic schematic weapon for the weapon BONUS passives, ignoring its stats (a level 1 passive is fine, but aim for Legendary: the rarity never changes after, it has 6 slots for stats and bonuses instead of 4, and its caps are higher). Then merge them: the stats move onto the new Epic weapon, it keeps its bonuses, and that one weapon becomes your perfect weapon to hone. Keep all your hone stones for this first perfect weapon, and keep your new Epic schematics for it, a 3 stat transfer costs 9 of them. Weapons: reforge, don't craft. Equipment Inheritance only takes weapons that have been reforged. If you craft a nice stat weapon (say Slashing Damage, Slashing Armour Penetration and Strength), you have to reforge it before you can use it, and a reforge rerolls the weapon with only one stat locked, so you lose your good stats. When you make weapons, always reforge: a good roll is then ready to use. The stat weapon. Reforge until one of your two main stats (damage or its penetration) lands at a decent value, lock it, then chase the other one. Be greedy: a big bonus like +17 Strength is the third stat worth moving. Honing needs 3 stats at 60% of max, and the transfer cuts every stat: each one must still be above 60% of max AFTER the merge, or you cannot hone the weapon and you are stuck. If one would land under, hone it on the stat weapon first. Resources come mainly from Salvaging (buy at the Horse Seller, salvage in your Inventory). See the best items to salvage for each resource , and the new honing system .

Question 22

How does Equipment Inheritance work?

Accepted Answer

Equipment Inheritance moves stats from one weapon (the material) onto another weapon of the same type (the target). The target keeps its weapon bonuses (the game calls them special attributes), its old stats are wiped, and the material weapon stays in your inventory but becomes bound. So you can finally have your best stats AND the bonuses of a new Epic schematic on one weapon. The whole system in under 2 minutes The new crafting meta Make your new Epic weapon for the BONUS passives only, completely ignore stats. Reforge until you get a passive from S to B tier in the passives tier list , lock it and keep reforging until you get a second one. A level 1 passive is fine, what matters is having the right one. Aim for a Legendary one if you can: the rarity never changes after, Legendary has 6 slots for stats and bonuses instead of 4, and its caps are higher than Epic (Longsword Blunt Damage caps at 240 on Legendary, 192 on Epic). Transfer your stats from your old weapon into this new Epic weapon, for example Slashing Damage, Slashing Armour Penetration and Strength. A Legendary with 2 bonuses takes up to 4 stats, an Epic with 1 bonus up to 3. Your old weapon is kept, but bound. Each stat must still be above 60% of its max AFTER the merge, or you cannot hone and you are stuck. Hone it into a perfect weapon. Keep all your hone stones for this first perfect weapon, see the honing system . Every bonus on the target is one stat less. Not just for veterans. It also polishes the RNG for new players. You still craft, then reforge until one of your two main stats (damage or its penetration) lands, lock it, and chase the other. But instead of crafting and praying for one weapon to roll good stats AND the right bonus, you now split the job in two: a bonus weapon and a stat weapon, then you transfer. The rules Same weapon type, and both weapons must have been reforged. Material: a weapon from any Epic schematic, old or new. Target: only a weapon from the new Epic Weapon Schematics (Schematic Selection Box ones count). How many stats: the target's stats plus its bonuses can reach 4 on an Epic weapon and 6 on a Legendary one, never more. Cost: per stat moved, in New Epic Weapon Schematics for that same weapon: 3, 6, 9, 10, 11 or 12 for 1 to 6 stats. Stats lose 8% when they move. On the screen below, 212 Slashing Armour Penetration lands as 180: that 32 drop is 8% of the stat's max on the material (404), not 8% of 212, so the cut looks to be taken from the max. Honing is re-checked after the cut, against the target's stat caps. A stat under 60% of max after the merge cannot be honed. Close to the line? Hone that stat on the material first, then transfer. Binding: the target stays unbound only if the schematics, the material and the target are all unbound. The material always becomes bound. No limit: the same weapon can be a target again and again, and a material again and again. Most asked What are the bonuses? The weapon passives written in yellow when you look at the weapon (the game calls them special attributes). They stay on the target and never transfer: only stats move. Can I pick which stats move? Yes, you click the ones you want, Armour or Strength included. Is my old weapon lost? No. It stays, but bound, and it can feed another target of the same type. Can I stack more stats with a second inheritance? No. Every inheritance wipes the target's stats again and keeps only its bonuses. Does it change the rarity? No. A purple weapon with your bonuses stays purple. That is why the bonus weapon should be Legendary if you can get it. Rare (blue) weapons? No, Epic schematics only. New to them? See how to get Epic schematics . A stat would land under 60%? Hone it on your old weapon first until it clears, then transfer. Under the line on a Legendary? Its higher caps raise the 60% line. On the screen below, 212 Slashing Armour Penetration shows 87.6% of the line on Epic, 63.2% on Legendary.

Question 23

Which items should I salvage for each resource?

Accepted Answer

Crafting and reforging resources come mainly from salvaging bought gear at the Horse Seller. This table shows the best items to buy and salvage for each resource. The Bronze per 1 columns show cost efficiency, so the lower the number, the better the value for that resource. Item Bronze / item Amount salvaged Powder Silver Bronze / silver Rivets Bronze / rivet Steel Ingot Roll of leather Shielded Chanfron 600 1000 235 2553 571 1051 1000 976 Ironcap Chanfron 600 1000 248 2419 522 1149 1000 953 Iron-Edged Saddle 700 500 130 2692 316 1108 714 690 Riveted Saddle 700 1000 233 3004 670 1045 1428 1347 Split Leg Guards 800 500 125 3200 316 1266 736 608 Riveted Leg Guards 800 500 128 3125 299 1338 750 635 Ordinary Tack 1200 500 182 3297 486 1235 1056 961 Riveted Tack 1200 500 180 3333 401 1496 1026 986 One catch: Steel Ingots and Rolls of Leather are cheaper bought straight from the Apothecary (100 bronze each) than salvaged for, so salvage mainly for Powder Silver and Rivets. For the wider picture, see the crafting system and honing .

Question 24

How do I get Epic schematics?

Accepted Answer

Epic schematics are the rarest and most valuable, the endgame goal for your main class (much better base stats, plus a unique passive on armor). Consider crafting the weapon first, or waiting for 4 Epic boxes to craft a full armor set for the passives. Ways to get them: 1 to 2 from the battle pass (most seasons, not all). 4 from Grand Champion rank in ranked (1 on reaching it, 1 at season end, 2 in the Ranked shop). 2 from the Triumph shop (using TW triumph), plus 4 random Epic schematics there. 2 from Fame donations (the Envoy NPC in the main city). 4 selection boxes from the Fame store (F5). 4 to 6 from various in-season events. 5 to 10 per season from sovereign pay-to-win packs. Auction house with silver during the season. Random drops from PvP/PvE (insanely rare).

Question 25

Where should I put my attribute points?

Accepted Answer

Strength increases Piercing Armour Penetration, Slashing Damage and Blunt Damage by 6 points. Agility increases Piercing Damage, Slashing Armour Penetration and Blunt Armour Penetration by 6 points. Armour increases Piercing, Slashing and Blunt Armour by 3 points. Toughness increases maximum HP by 100 points. For damage, prioritize the stats your spell multipliers favour. For tanking, focus one stat only, since it scales. To find the best split for your own hero, use our Attribute Calculator . Damage classes Spell multipliers favour damage stats. A 140% multiplier means each point of Strength (a damage stat) adds about +6 damage, while Agility (penetration) adds only a small % that works out to +2 to 4 damage. Penetration is valuable up to a sweet spot, then loses efficiency. Aim for roughly 2x your enemy's damage stat (about 2100 penetration versus 1000 to 1100 defense). Tank classes Go all in on Armor or HP, partial investment gives diminishing returns. Full Armor amplifies physical damage reduction, full HP adds raw survivability (good when you cannot reach the armor sweet spot, or against high pen, true damage and poison). Hybrid Armor/HP builds are inefficient because Armor scales best when fully invested.

Question 26

How does flame damage work?

Accepted Answer

Flame units deal damage in up to three parts: a direct Impact hit, an Ablaze burn and a Flame burn, with the burns dealing damage over a number of ticks. These values come from community testing. Source Impact Ablaze Ablaze ticks Flame Flame ticks Wild Fire 360 150 ~3 320 3 Incendiary Archers n/a 150 1 to 2 300 3 Flamethrowers 800 450 6 1000 5 Flamethrowers (AA) 800 450 2 1000 3 Doctrines Break Through raises Impact by 10%, and Ablaze and Flame by roughly 2% each. Flame defence by unit trait Some unit traits reduce flame damage. The trait name depends on the client, so both the Frontier and my.games wording are shown. Trait (Frontier) Trait (my.games) Flame damage reduction Fireproof Armor Fire-Resistant 3 to 15% Flame War Resist Flame 10 to 20% Flame + Fireproof 12 to 20% H.Shields 14 to 30% Piller in Flames Insulated 32 to 40% Rattan Armor -400% A negative value like Rattan Armor's -400% means it takes far more flame damage instead of resisting it, so keep it away from fire.

Question 27

How do I harvest resources and craft artillery?

Accepted Answer

First, have 5 Elite Serfs at level 7. If you take the bottom veterancy line you increase your labour by 40%. Second (not mandatory) equip Labour doctrines to raise labour by 0.06 or 0.07 per living soldier, depending on whether the doctrine is tier IV or V. Only farm the Blue and Purple spots, ignore the rest. Which ones depends on the arty you want to build. A common CF set is Digenite Copper Mine, Limonite Copper Mine, Oak Logging Camp and Goatskin Tannery. Press U and go to Technology. Technology improves Exotic gather rates by 200%. Start with Copper Ore since it is the material used most when crafting arty, and focus on Calamine (line 1) if you plan to build arty. Things to know Fief level: Normal siege needs Fief Level 1, Well-Made needs Level 5, Optimal needs Level 7. Rank 7 fiefs are rare and contested. Logistics: you must transport materials across the open world to the right fief. Recipes only craft at the specific fiefs tied to each type. Season timing: few crafting fiefs are open early in a season, more open later, so stockpile in advance. Optimal siege is often only available through rewards, because Rank 7 fiefs are so scarce. Siege weapons are critical to Territory Wars, not just optional. Want the exact materials for a piece? Use the Arty Crafting tool : pick a siege weapon and quality and it lists what to craft, where to gather, and the combat stats.

Question 28

What is the seasonal seal (lock)?

Accepted Answer

At the start of each season a seasonal seal levels the playing field for new players and keeps things fresh for veterans, by temporarily limiting higher-tier units and gear bonuses: Blue Lock : the first two weeks, only blue-tier units, armor bonuses and crafted item bonuses disabled. Purple Lock : the next 2 to 3 weeks, purple-tier units allowed, armor bonuses active but crafted bonuses still disabled. Golden Phase: after Purple Lock everything unlocks, full gold-tier units, armor bonuses and crafted bonuses for the rest of the season.

Question 29

How do Territory War and seasons work?

Accepted Answer

Territory Wars (TW) is a large-scale PvP event where Houses and Alliances battle for fiefs and cities on the open world map. Battles happen twice a week and are essential for influence, resources and strategic advantage, coordinate with your House to attack or defend. The Season System adds new content every few months (usually 3): seasonal units, challenges, rewards and mechanics. Each season has a theme and units unlocked through quest-like challenges. Seasons also add Runes, earned by leveling, which change stats, add effects and can affect certain units.

Question 30

How do Drill Wars work?

Accepted Answer

Drill Wars are practice wars that replace normal Territory War battles at the turn of a season, usually the final Tuesday before a season ends and the first Saturday after the next one begins. Each fief is assigned a random amount of silver in its treasury, the battles run for an hour and a half, and they are one of the best sources of silver in the game. There are two ways to secure that silver. Defensively Contrary to popular belief, defending pays. At the end of the war, whatever is left in the treasury is divided the same way as the weekly payouts and rewards the whole house. Drill War coffers are often inflated well above a normal treasury, so these payouts can be massive. Attacking rewards the best fighters, but defending rewards every member of the house regardless of how they score in the fight. Offensively When you capture a fief, 30% of its total Drill War coffer is split between the fighters in that battle by their rank on the leaderboard, so the top scorers get the most. This is great for small groups of friends after quick cash, but it can leave new players with scraps while the top players walk away with the big earnings. Defensive victories tend to be nicer for the whole community, giving everyone a share instead of a handful of your best players taking all the loot. How you play it is up to you and your house.

Question 31

How do Fame donations work?

Accepted Answer

Fame donations are a weekly way to earn Fame (a currency) along with crafting materials and a chance at an Epic schematic. You hand in specific items to the Envoy in the main city. Donations run in stages. Each stage asks for more, and harder, items than the last, but the rewards grow with every stage, so climbing them is worth it when you can afford to. Reset each week, so do them weekly. Sieges are still the best overall source of Fame, so if you only have time for one, play sieges. Doing your donations on top is strongly recommended whenever you have the items to spare. Which items are worth donating, from best value down to last-resort fillers: Best and free: the items you already get from sieges. Best but expensive. Good. Okay, but usually better kept for fief quests or to sell. Fillers only if you are short on finishing the weekly. If you can, prioritize the rewards that give the two Epic schematics, and note the 732 Leadership reward is enough for the Blue and Purple Lock phases. The tierlist below shows the exact items in each group.

Question 32

How do I get skins?

Accepted Answer

Where and when every skin is obtainable: Permanent skins. Store skins are locked behind sovereigns, added often and very rarely removed. Antique Attire Chest skins (G-Menu base chest) are RNG, opened with keys you earn as you play. Battle Pass skins. Present in the season they release, with a recolor of the Pass 100 step available that season through Fame donations. They return as a recolor in the Seasonal Store next season, and again 3 to 4 seasons later. Event timed skins. Christmas, Halloween and so on, often re-introducing skins from previous years. Legendary / event skins. Present during their event, usually re-introduced over the next few seasons, and once old enough they can be exchanged in the Attire Exchange (G-Menu bottom left) for Curios from salvaged skins. Tournament, pack and reward skins. Tournament rewards, pre-order or other packs, community event or TW skins (the seasonal House lead holding the capital). Most of these are unique and never obtainable again.

Question 33

Where do Bronze and Silver come from?

Accepted Answer

Bronze comes from just about everything: playing, events, every currency shop. It is annoying to get early as a new player, then it becomes something you stop thinking about. If you are really short, join a Cohort and run some Territory War with it. Sign up for two fiefs and alt+F4 out, about fifteen minutes, and the Triumph you earn exchanges for bronze. Silver is the player to player currency, the one you buy with on the market. It comes in slowly and passively, or from selling your own things on the market. The shop sells small silver packs for sovereigns, but they are weekly limited and not a lot.
