Beginning

You started this game first time or created a new character on another Server. Also, you can make new accounts on the server of your first account. Many people do this to help banquet of their first account.

What you should do and what is the best way to do things here to grow as fast as possible?

## **General Tips**

* **Collect** stuffs minimum 4 times a day, ideally every 3 hours.
* **Affairs:** Choose **Performance** over anything else. Your rank growth is top priority until rank 12. After that all of game features will be unlocked(except 'grand duke' feature) and rank won't be as important. You can take recourses then.
* **Mini Events** (Rescue Beauty, Prayer Lights, Rooster Battle, Family Reunion, etc.): use coins to buy additional tools in Event Shop whenever possible. If you want to score higher can try buying the scoring items with ingots however you like.
* **Arena Events**: save War Tokens, Challenge Letters, Scrolls, Pills etc. for corresponding event. Don't use them between **events.**
* **Guild**: after reaching rank 6 join a guild and do **Advanced** **Construction** if possible**.** Redeem and use Council Tokens for faster rank-up.
* **Dojo**: after you reach rank 7 check Dojo for empty slot every time you come to Map Screen.
* If you short on ingots - skip Banquets (hosting is OK), do **Advanced** **Construction**.
* Save Ingots to buy **Academy/Children slots** - it's important. Get at least 5 for both. You will need to buy exile ships or banish carriages as well. Keep as close to 30 retainers as you can or as many beauties as possible(for widespread retainers growth, tho usually the more beauties you own, some higher charm beauties hard to get a date).
* **Friends**: In the beginning, go to Make Friends and apply to as many as you want. Keep your Friend list at 45-49. **Befriend all your Guild mates**. Clean-up periodically removing people who has been inactive for 4 days or more.
* After child **Examination** go to **Beauties** and use **Vigor Pills** until you have no empty child slots. Children beds should work for you **all the time.**
* Look at **Home Screen** and **City Screen** for everything you can do.

## **Daily Chores**

Plan to have at least four 10-20 min game sessions every day. Read this list - maybe you're missing something?

**During the day - on EACH game Session:**

* **Collect Assets**
* **Cultivate Children** (before dating Beauties). Do Examination if you completed to grow any of them.
* **Random Date Beauties**. Use **Vigor Pills** until you have no empty child slots.
* **Do Affairs**. Always choose Performance until rank 12.
* **Reload Academy.** If you have fresh retainers that you got recently, put them in all the time until they catch-up in Skills with others. For the rest, use rotation: before release, remember which one was the last and choose next after him from the list.
* **Do Visits**. Before clicking Visit button, turn on Auto-food option. It will keep your luck at 90 points.
* **Do Arena Battle**. Use temporary bonuses at times of Arena Events. Save morales all other time (up to 200-300). Fight weaker retainers first(usually in order of colours): Grey first, then Green - Blue - Purple - Red - Orange - Yellow - Gold.
* **Check Dojo** for empty slot or Expel possibility(avoid to expel players 2 ranks lower than you or even lower, to minimize complaints from those you expels in server chat channel).
* **Check Guild Dungeon** for a zombie you can kill. If you can, do it! See **Dungeon** page for explanation on how to figure out if you can kill one. If not, wait until you finish all retainer upgrades for the day, for more damage.
* **Do Trade.** After you reach rank 10 do trade. It's an easy way on how to get banquet materials and ingots.
* **Do Conquest.** After finishing 80 chapters in adventure you will unlock conquest. You can get pills, beauties' charm increment, retainers' skill or book EXPs.
* **Attend Council.** If you have Council Token (getting from event rewards or after redeem in guild) go to council to obtain extra performance and book EXPs for your retainers.
* **BI, BK, SR.** Do Barbarian Invasion, Barbarian King and Surpress Rebellion if you have rank 11.
* **Go to rankings and Palace.** You will be able to get ingots from those places.
* **Go to Jail.** You will get recourses and ingots there.

**On the first Session of the day (early in the game day):**

* **Collect Benefits**, bonuses and check all other red dots and current events at the top of Home Screen.
* **Send Gifts** to all your Friends and collect gifts from them, 1 performance point for each friend.
* **Do Stages** if your soldier consumption rate is **tiny or normal**, then Jail, in Palace take daily Salary and do Revere for ingots and performance. I do Palace and Revere while goods from Jail are still floating in the middle of the screen :-)
* **Do Guild Construction** (if you are Rank 6 and higher, already joined a guild) but do not go in **Dungeon** yet. Redeem Council Token, if you have 800 contribution points.
* **Do banquets**. First, try to help your guild mates: check **Guild Chat** if there are any announced. If you still attended less than 3, open Member icon on guild screen, then tap each face and click **[Attend]** button to see if that person hosts a banquet.

**On the Second Session of the day (after 9:00 game time):**

* **Do current Event**(s): Rescue Beauty, Prayer Lights, Rooster Battle, Family Reunion, etc
* **Do Barbarian Invasion,** **Barbarian King.** - Redeem Baron Sets. (in the very beginning - one set in 2 days :-). If you got enough of them, **Craft** gear and **Endorse** Retainers whom are ready for that.
* **Do Surpress rebellion.** If SR is open and you are rank 11 or more place retainers in 2 of five cities. (Do that round's bonus retainers if possible for 50% attribute bonus)

**On the 20:00 game time Session:**

* **Do Guild Dungeon, Quest:** If it is Power or Aptitude event do it after enhancing retainers.
* **Collect the rest of the gifts** from Friends, if you didn't get 20 yet.
* **Council**: If you have Council Token, attend Council. Choose case with less attendees.

* **Events**: see what you can do to raise your and your guild score for current events, especially those that will end today at 22:00. If it is qualifying for CS event just make sure you are in top 100 and spend the rest in CS. CS rewards are way better than server ones.

**On the Last session of the day:**

* **Check your Daily Quests** for completion. You have to make sure that you didn't miss any one that you usually complete. Normally, I have 2-4 incomplete: 2 are Monthly and Perm Card, other 2 are Banquets and Stages that I periodically skip depending on my ingots and soldiers balance today. In the beginning, World Trade and Conquest also are not available yet. ALL OTHER SHOULD BE COMPLETE.
* **Check Mail** for Event and Council Rewards.

## **Retainers**

* For more Damage, Upgrade Retainers to level 150 - 250 or keep level 59 weaker retainers you won't use if you can.
* Put all book exp and Green Bags into Military books upgrade(or Wisdom/Charm/Politics if you like).
* Put Beauty Exp(% skills) into highest attribute.
* Pills - apply according to main Retainer's Attribute(s).
* Use all Scrolls on highest books and save until you have a lot of scrolls before using.
* See **Retainers Upgrade** page for more info**. Retainer list** is where you can find most of retainers you own.

## **Beauties**

#### **Affinity**:

1. Raise Affinity of all Beauties.
2. After that save hearts and rings for Affinity Events.
3. At time of Event, apply Affinity to your Favorite beauties that you will Ennoble to next level(and also increase children bonus attribute %).

* This way you will have few high-level kids but mostly Pupils and Scholars that you can marry without spending ingots, using branches from Tavern redeem. Calculation shows that [Power gain] / [Cultivation time] increases very little for higher kids (80 for Pupils to 100 for Top Talent). Even so, it all depends on affinity range of the beauty who gave birth to your child.

#### **Charm**

* **Charm** is actually more important than Affinity(even though a lot of players focus less on this, can be seen in closet). Your Retainers' Power is used for many aspects meanwhile Affinity on kids' attributes only. There is more Events and rankings on Power than on Affinity. On Redeems choose Rings over Hearts.

1. From Beauties, choose your Favorite(s) - those that give high EXP for Retainers you want to raise more than others.
2. Raise Charm of all Beauties evenly to 100-300(for senior players who plays over a year already usually 300-700), After that put remaining rings into your Favorite(s). This is recommended to do during affinity or contest events, as you get extra things in L-time bonus.

* The formula for exp gain from a date at Beauty Charm X is: ROUND(0.01 \* X^2 + X). It means that at Charm 100 one Date get you 200 exp (2 times), at Charm 500 you get 3000 exp (6 times). You will get more exp applying Charm to beauty with higher one.

#### **Experience**

1. Each Beauty is usually associated with one retainer, and her experience will be applied to corresponding retainer's attributes to raise said retainer's power.
2. Do random dates regularly. Refresh time is 30 min, capacity: 3 for non-VIPs, 4 for VIP1, 5 for VIP2, 6 for VIP3, and so on.
3. Save beauties' EXP and Vigor Pills for Power Raise events.
4. At time of Power Raise Event, use all your Vigor pills and apply EXP gain from all beauties to their retainers.
