Gathering

**Gathering** resource tiles will provide the the player with the collected resource, as well as various Materials which are used to forge Equipment.

Resource Tiles spawn throughout all Kingdoms in Level 1-5. When a resource tile is Gathered, a new resource tile of the same type and level will spawn nearby. To locate resource tiles in the various levels:

* Go to the Kingdom Map and tap on the Kingdom Overview  button.
* Tap on the Resource Tiles Chart  button.

 Note: If two armies from different Guilds are headed towards the same resource tile, the player who gets to the tile fastest will begin gathering.

* If the second player is shielded, their gatherers will automatically return to their Turf, when they reach the tile. The first player can disregard their red flashing screen in this case.

* If the second player is **not** shielded, their gatherers will attack the army currently gathering the tile.

## Familiars

There are three Familiars that can help a player with gathering.

* Yeti's permanent effect, Go Wild, increases gathering troops travel speed (+25% at max skill level).
* Noceros support skill, In a Flash, completes gathering for 5 random gathering armies (not applicable for Gem Lodes, does not grant event points).
* Goblin's permanent effect, Harvest Frenzy, increases gathering speed (+25% at max skill level).

## Tips

* Use Tier 1 troops for gathering. They can run the fastest, and are cheap and quick to heal.
* Most players respect "First march" rules: If another player is already headed towards a tile (an arrow points to a tile), they don’t try and gather that tile.
* Send Heroes along with gathering troops to increase the Material drops by 40% and gain Hero EXP.
* Level 2 resource tiles give the best Material drops.
* During Kingdom Clash players from other Kingdoms will send troops to attack gathering armies.
