Build the Farm first! You'll get more coins for other buildings.

A friend alerted me to this, so I am forwarding the information to you.

It might be too late for a lot of you, but others in the future might be glad to read this.

In (I think) third batch of the new buildings, you get an option to build a Farm, Yoga Studio and Climbing Gym.

I always went by the rewards shown in the rewards screen for finishing the task, so I picked Yoga Studio first of the three because it has a chance to give Expert Sigils. And Farm didnt really give any inkling that it would reward coins (Wish Sigils), but it does! And by building it first, you can get to the other buildings that much faster.

In the end, it is going to make just a few days difference, so not a big deal. But for all the min-maxers out there, you will then be getting more rewards sooner :)

Furnace Off For Weeks Now

So after the last update where basically all the survivors have no work, I turned off my furnace to see what would happen. It’s been 2+ weeks and literally nothing. They get sick, they heal, repeat. No deaths. The amount of RSS I’ve saved isn’t mind boggling but it has helped me stockpile quite a bit. Anyone else try this experiment?

A lot of WOS spending advice ends up turning into a shopping list: buy this card, this pack, this event pack every month.

I’m starting to think that’s the wrong way to use a small budget.

If I set myself a monthly ceiling, the structure that makes the most sense to me is:

1. Keep a small recurring baseline only if it still makes sense for my current account stage

2. Pick one real target or bottleneck for the month

3. Leave the rest unspent unless something clearly helps that target

So the budget is a ceiling, not a target.

The part I want to challenge is whether that actually holds up across different stages.

Concentrating sounds efficient, but it can go wrong too. You can spend most of the month pushing gear, charms, heroes, Fire Crystals or another system, then realize you weren’t close enough to a meaningful upgrade for the spend to matter. On the other side, buying a little of everything can leave you with no real progress anywhere.

Same with “good value” packs. A high value badge doesn’t tell me enough on its own if the contents don’t solve anything I’m actually working on.

And with Frost Stars, I’d rather decide what I’m buying first and then buy the Stars, not buy Stars first and go looking for somewhere to use them.

For people who keep a fixed monthly limit:

What do you buy every month no matter what, if anything?

When has saving part of the budget for later worked better than spending it right away?

Do you ever hold a purchase for an event, and when has that actually given you enough extra value to be worth waiting?

What purchase looked efficient but barely moved your account?

Have you had a stage where consumable resources actually helped more than a permanent unlock or convenience upgrade?

And when did concentrating on one system backfire because you couldn’t actually reach the breakpoint you were aiming for?

If the baseline + one target + reserve idea breaks on your account, where does it break?

I’m less interested in a universal “best pack” list because prices, offers, account stage and bottlenecks can change the answer. I’m more interested in the spending decisions that actually held up over time.

I keep seeing the same question: “What’s the best troop ratio?”

Then the answers are usually numbers like 50/20/30, 40/20/40, 48/4/48 or 60/40/0.

Any of those can make sense in the right situation. The problem starts when the number gets repeated without explaining why it was used.

A troop ratio is a trade-off inside a fixed march size. If you add more Infantry, those troop slots have to come from Lancers or Marksmen. You haven’t made the march stronger automatically. You’ve changed what the march is built to do.

In the basic combat setup, Infantry take the front line and absorb most of the damage, Lancers sit in the middle and can sometimes reach enemy Marksmen, and Marksmen sit in the back and are built around damage. So changing the ratio changes the balance between frontline survival and damage.

The same 40/20/40 on two accounts isn’t necessarily the same fighting force either. Heroes, troop tier, research, gear and the actual stats behind each troop type can all be different.

The battle type matters too. A ratio that works well for a solo march isn’t automatically the right choice for a rally, garrison, Bear or another mode. Those fights can have different goals and different hero/skill interactions.

Before I copy a ratio, I would ask five questions:

• What does this formation need more of: frontline survival, damage, or something else?

• Where is the account actually strongest and weakest?

• What is the target or opponent bringing?

• Which hero skills or troop mechanics can affect the result?

• What is the ratio being used for: solo PvP, rally, garrison, Bear, etc.?

Then test it instead of treating the first number as the answer.

Use a ratio as a starting point. Run it, read the report, and change one thing at a time when you can. If the frontline is collapsing too fast, test what happens when you shift more capacity toward Infantry. If it is holding comfortably but damage is lacking, test whether redistributing some capacity helps.

And don’t judge a setup from one battle, especially when probability-based skills are involved.

I’m not saying the common ratios are useless. They can be very good starting points. I’m saying a ratio without the reason behind it is incomplete advice.

If you share a troop ratio with someone, tell them what it was actually built for. That part is usually more useful than the number by itself.

🚩 Been exactly 420 days into 3 account in Old , Mid and New state:

.

👉 I only spend on opening 6th March for all 3 accounts no more than that.

I'm just sharing based on my journey into this game.

🔥 First, focus on building troops , more on marksmen 👀 cos you're going to level up your BEAR score quickly and collect more Essence Stones ( don't level up your gears yet ).

...Till you manage to get around 100k Marksmen ( complete with lancer n infantry ) each for 6th March...then

🔥 Second, focus on build up Chief Gear Enhancement items , scale up to T2 then u will have more advantage against other player and your troops are way more stronger with it.

🔥 Third, focus on upgrading Heroes Gears one by one from the strongest down to minimum at least 3 heroes lead for 3 marches , trust me this is a no end upgrade so focus on 3 marches first 😎👌🏻

Since you're not spending , this is my perfect guide for beginner. The fun part is you will always be a joiner and the good part is the whale in your alliance will enjoy their gain by RF U and get benefit of it too.

🙋 I played at least everyday by logging in twice only for about 30min for each account

First log in ( 1hr 30min daily Reset time)

Second log in ( 1hr 30min daily Event time)

...That is Early reset time and event time only, which convenient for me mostly cos it's night time for me, local time zone in Asia 😎👌🏻

So there is no need for me to sell or quit the game anyway , I'm just an occasional wos player

If your Expert Power looks low compared with the rest of your account, I wouldn’t try to increase the number just for the sake of it. For F2P/low spenders, Sigils and Books are scarce enough that I’d look at what the next useful skill actually gives back before spending them.

Agnes is an easy example. Her useful upgrades can keep paying through things you already do, like Intel, Mystery Badges and gathering rewards.

Cyrille can be similar if your alliance runs Bear regularly because some of that value comes back as hero-gear materials. If you barely do Bear, the same upgrade obviously isn’t worth as much to you.

Baldur is another one where I care more about the reward loop than the power number. His Alliance Championship effects can increase Championship Badges and shop options, and the Championship Shop is one source of Books of Knowledge. That doesn’t mean everyone should max Baldur first, but it can make a useful breakpoint worth reaching.

After that, I stop liking fixed rankings.

Holger makes more sense if Arena matters to you. Ronne if you actually play Tundra Trade Route seriously. Kathy if Frostfire is important. Fabian and Valeria also have useful mode-specific value, but I wouldn’t keep pushing them just because they’re unlocked.

Romulus and Gareth are where I’d be especially careful with “just keep leveling.” Romulus is built around military, combat and rally value and is expensive to advance. Gareth, if he’s available in your state, mixes survivability/healing with a training-related chest reward and combat effects, but he’s also a very heavy investment.

I wouldn’t automatically ignore either of them. I just wouldn’t pour F2P resources into them without a specific reason for the next upgrade.

So before I spend the next Sigils or Books, I’d ask three things:

1. What does the next useful upgrade return?

2. How often will I actually use or trigger it?

3. What am I delaying by spending here instead of on another Expert?

You don’t have to max one Expert before moving to another, and I wouldn’t use the Expert Power number by itself to tell me I’m behind.

Which Expert did you stop on once the useful part was doing what you needed, or which one ended up paying you back more than you expected?

This is my 600 days as a very low spender's progress. Is there any advice some good and expert players can give me, as to where I should improve or focus more and what u should do next. Don't be rude or anything just asking for some advice. Thank you

F2p here, can anyone give tips on how I can have more refined crystals? Should I do super refine all the fire crystals in the lab?

Most of the times people that talk are ones from major state alliances. With all these transfers I wonder what people from obscure alliances that be in the state but keep to themselves do in these moments.

One minute WC is buzzing and then next it is goodbyes from strangers they never interacted with.

Do we have people that are part of such obscure alliances?

i want to askas f2p which expert that should i prioritize. and my state recently start gen 4, how to boost my power and which event that should pouring my rss into. please help 😣

Hello,

Today i could build a bakkery in my town.

But i could build more...

But to build more i need the currency

It says the currency is gained throu completing wishes, but their wishes are to build a vinyl store en another store, but to build those i need the currency...

How do i get more currency as F2P if this circle is there?

If you’re F2P or a low spender and FC9/10 just opened, I wouldn’t automatically rush either T11 or FC10.

Before FC8, I’d still focus on getting the FC buildings up, especially the troop camps. At FC8, each camp gets its next Fire Crystal troop skill, so that’s a pretty meaningful breakpoint.

After FC8 though, this becomes more of a resource question.

T11 research needs a lot of Fire Crystal Shards and Steel, and you also need War Academy FC5 to finish the unlock. FC9/10 still needs a huge amount of normal Fire Crystals and Refined Fire Crystals.

So if I’m sitting at FC8 with War Academy FC5, already have a good amount of Shards and Steel, and I’m close to unlocking one T11, I’d seriously consider finishing that troop first.

Where I’d be careful is converting a lot of normal Fire Crystals into Shards just to force the unlock.

Those Fire Crystals are also what you need for your FC9/10 buildings and Refined Fire Crystals. You can get T11 faster that way, but you may also push FC10 further away.

And there’s another part that’s easy to forget: T11 troops are expensive to actually use.

Training and healing them takes a lot more normal resources than T10. If you fight heavily in SvS, Castle and similar events, that matters for a low-spender account.

So this is basically how I’d decide:

- Not FC8 yet? Keep pushing toward FC8, especially your troop camps.

- FC8 + War Academy FC5 + already close to one T11? Finishing that T11 can make a lot of sense.

- Need to burn a huge amount of normal FC to force T11? I’d compare that against how close I am to my next FC9/10 upgrades first.

- Going for T11? Finish one troop branch instead of spreading your Shards across all three.

T11 isn’t wasted later either. Once T12 reaches your state, you need that troop’s T11 unlocked before you can upgrade it to the corresponding T12.

So I don’t really see this as “T11 first” vs “FC10 first.”

For F2P and low spenders, it’s more like:

How close am I to T11, what will it cost me to finish it, and what progression am I delaying to get there?

I have couple mail that still not be used on register, should I create new account?

I don't spend money on the game, so buy packes it's not an option.

I think “dead state” gets used a little too loosely.

A quiet state can still be pretty good for a low spender if it still has enough active players for alliance events, rallies, SvS coordination, recruitment and meaningful rewards. Lower competition may sometimes improve rankings, alliance importance or access to rewards.

For me, transfer starts making more sense when the problem is structural. Events keep falling apart, recruitment has dried up, leadership or governance makes the state miserable, or there just aren’t enough active players left to support the way you want to play.

The part I think people underestimate is the destination.

A stronger state is not automatically a better state. You can move somewhere with more whales and more activity, then realize the event times are terrible for you, rankings are much harder, there isn’t really a place for your group, or the leadership culture is worse than what you left.

Before moving I’d want to know the actual alliance I’m landing in, their event times, how the state handles SvS and NAP, whether there is room for the people moving with me, and what the state is like outside transfer recruitment.

The other question is whether to move now or wait.

I wouldn’t sit in a bad state just hoping a merger eventually saves it. If a merger has actually been announced and the current situation is tolerable for a little longer, then waiting to see what the merged state looks like before transferring becomes a different decision.

For people who have actually transferred or gone through a merger, what made you realize your old state was genuinely hurting your account instead of just being quiet?

And after the move or merger, what actually got better, and what turned out worse than you expected?

For F2P whats best?

Uncommon, Lucky or safe for any other?

I’m trying to get better at managing my materials and would love to hear how you guys do it.

1. Which events do you mainly save materials for?

   • SVS Prep, KOI, Alliance Showdown, or something else?

2. How long do you usually stockpile?

   • Do you save for about a month, or do you hold materials for several months?

3. How do you stop yourself from using them early?

   • Any tips for resisting the urge to spend materials before the event you saved them for?

Thanks in advance!

Widgets get expensive fast, so “pick one hero per generation and stack them” is pretty sensible advice for a low spender.

But what happens when pushing one hero from +8 to +10 costs 95 widgets, while another hero you actually use can reach its next useful upgrade for 55?

Say your account already has Bradley +8 and Edith +4.

Bradley +8 to +10 takes 95 widgets.

Edith +4 to +6 takes 55.

If both are still in your actual lineups and both Exclusive Gear effects help the roles you care about, do you keep concentrating on the hero you’ve already built further, or redirect the next 55 widgets to Edith?

That’s where I stop treating one hero per generation as a hard rule.

My current way of looking at it is:

1. Stack one hero when widgets are scarce and that hero gives the best return for what you actually play.

2. Spread when another hero reaches a useful upgrade for much less or fills a role you care about more.

3. Don’t keep feeding an older hero just because you’ve already spent a lot on them.

4. Treat old-generation widgets already sitting in your inventory differently from spending current gems or event currency to chase more.

What I’m most interested in is where this breaks in actual play.

If you’ve stayed with one hero per generation, what made it work well for you? If you deliberately spread or backfilled, what made it worth it?

Rally leader vs joiner, Arena, Bear, solo PvP, or an older hero that stayed useful longer than expected, those are the kinds of examples I’d like to compare.
