This guide will walk you through a daily routine that will help you maximize the daily rewards you can obtain in Empire Takeover.

## Daily Darknest

Running a Darknest requires you to be a member of an alliance, so if you have not joined one that will be step one. A change was made that C28 and above and run Darknests solo, but they are still required to be in an alliance to do so.

Once you are in an alliance, you can either run a Darknest yourself, or simply turn on autojoin with 1 troop.

If you have T5 troops and can solo DN8 and DN9, you'll want to manually run one per day to get the guaranteed forging stone reward (2 stones for DN8, 2 stones for DN9).

## Yellow Diamond Ads

From the shop (diamond icon), you can watch ads 3 times per hour to earn yellow diamonds. If you have the elite pass, you can earn all 8 ad rewards all at once, and skip watching the ads.

In addition to these ads, you can watch 4x shop ads. These are also skipped if you have the elite pass.

Finally, you can now watch 3 extra ads per day for holy water. These ads can also be skipped with the elite pass, but you will have to wait between clicks.

## Soldier Training

The absolute minimum to complete this quest is to "slow train" 200 troops. The training does not have to complete for you to get this reward.

This can be paired with the troop training personal activity that gives you energy boosts for troop trainings, so it's recommended to use it as a reminder to check for what the current personal activity is.

## Alliance Help

This one will normally need to be worked on throughout the day by clicking the purple help button in the lower right corner of the game screen when alliance members request help with construction or research. This can be harder to complete in slower guilds, but in most cases this quest can be skipped.

A trick for completing this faster is to "alliance hop" and click help in each active alliance in the kingdom.

## RSS Collection

This reward is obtained by "tapping" a resource node 2 times. This can be accomplished by sending 1 troop to 1 or 2 resource nodes if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, if you are regularly gathering resources while offline, this quest will more or less complete itself.

## Dark Hunts

Simply hunt 2 monsters of any level. Recommend doing the Kingdom Missions to maximize the Thor's Hammers obtained from doing this activity.

## Alliance Message

Send a chat message of any kind to your alliance. Don't over think this, just say hi or send a simple emoji. It's also possible to just skip gaming this reward and just wait until you have something to actually chat about.

## Daily Plunder

Collect 100k resources. This can be accomplished by either attacking inactive players or bots, or if your alliance sets up a "plunder castle" for you to plunder 100k resources from.

## Level Maker Rewards

Play the stage maker 5 times to unlock the chest rewards. Can also couple this a "fake share", where you record 1 stage game per day, cancel the interface instead of actually sharing the recording.

Recommended stage that's easy to remember and easy to complete: 711

## Fake Friend Invite

Go to Main Menu > Invitations to generate friend referral invites. You can click the Invite button and then cancel after receiving 50 diamonds.

## Gem Transmute

Don't forget to check and see if you need to start another Darknest Gem transmute.
