Joe’s Journal, Volume 12
Here in Total Battle, we are constantly inundated with a rotating series of events, prompting us to fulfill a variety of goals for beneficial rewards and titles. I am going to try to tackle some of these events, to give you a better idea of where you want to spend your time and energy. For this section of the article, I am going to focus on the short events, which last for about three hours and occur multiple times a day. Following these strategies will hopefully let you take an extra title or two! Keep in mind, these challenges are against the whole world of TB, so the competition will be fierce, if you want to place in one of these, you’ll need to strategize.
Regular Decrees: This event will be impossible to place in if you have a low VIP level. At higher VIP levels, you get more daily quests and can complete them instantly. Level 15 VIP gets you 4 additional jobs, level 20 gets you 5, and level 25 VIP gets you 6 extra daily jobs. When you’re ready to roll, it all becomes a matter of feverishly clicking. My recommendation is to hop on a computer and use an auto-click program or extension so you don’t develop carpal tunnel. At the low end, you’ll need to plan to complete a couple thousand daily jobs. Based on what I have seen, the lowest participation is about 12 hours after reset. Higher quality daily jobs get you more points, but there isn’t really a way to control what jobs you’re given. At least you’ll get tons of enchantments going this route!
Beastslayer: A short event where you get points for killing monsters! You’re probably (hopefully) doing that anyway, but now someone is finally going to recognize your hard work. Points come from the leadership of the enemy, which means that far and above the most points come from heroic monsters. You can check leadership by looking at the individual enemy troop. Additionally, there is a clan medal for killing a large number of heroic monsters during the beastslayer event. The title is nice, if you can manage it! But you’ll be hard pressed to do so.
Castle Development: The points for this tournament come from the might reward as a result of your building upgrades. If you can strategize and wait to complete a major upgrade during this tournament, then complete a few others as well, you might stand a chance!
Scientific Progress: See the above challenge. The points you get equal the might reward from the upgrade you complete. If you can complete a major one during this time, you might have a shot!
Crypt Raiders: You’ll get points in this one from higher level and rarer crypts! The most will come from epics. I don’t recommend this if you can’t clear high level crypts.
Call of Duty/Battle Training: Gain points from training troops and monsters. Again, you’ll need to be a very high level to place in these.
Hammer and Anvil: This one I have seen points in attainable ranges. I would recommend the same strategy as during Castle Development/Scientific progress; you’ll want to make sure you have some high quality equipment ready to complete.
Officer Academy: You can earn experience in many different ways, from achievements, monsters, and leveling troops. If you plan to compete in this tournament, I recommend saving up some achievements and completing them during this tournament.
Wargames: This event is recognized as wartime in IKFPA, meaning that resources in other kingdoms can be attacked. If you plan to compete in this event, make sure you’ve got Ayrin ready to roll. That said, this event will be very hard to place in because you’ll likely be competing against players completing a Conquest Point (CP) Run. More on that later.
The King’s Mercy: Please note that I do NOT recommend storing your ingots to send them off during this time. This event is not included in Wartime events in IKFPA, so if you plan to participate, send from your city and maybe you’ll get lucky and have this event coincide with COT or KVK, where you can easily obtain a lot of ingots through city attacks.
Capital Challenge: Pretty straightforward, you’ll be sending resources to your clan buildings. Notably, there is a clan medal for accomplishing this, so consider coordinating with your team to send a lot of resources at one time!
The Quest for Chests: Note that you have to open the chests that you obtain! Rarer chests provide more points in this challenge.
Power Points: Gain VIP points! You can get these from purchases, offers, or chests.
Tar Mastery: This is not a PVP event in IKFPA. You’ll get points from obtaining tar in many different ways.
Blessing of the Gods: Revive troops to get points! Keep in mind that as your temple levels, revival costs get cheaper!
War Tools: This is a PVP event in other kingdoms, meaning you can attack other kingdom’s resource gathering locations, to score points. You can also mine your own resources during this time, to get points. If you’re hoping to place in this event, this would be a good one to coordinate with your friends in other clans. If you can collaborate to hit them off of resource points, you can score a fair amount of points.
Gold Rush: This event doesn’t say that stolen gold counts for points, but it is a wartime event in other kingdoms. Obtain gold in any way to score points. Most players will win this with well-timed purchases.
Silver Rush: This event will give you points for stealing other player’s silver, or, of course, by obtaining it amiably. A great way I can think of to rank in this event is to coordinate with a friend in another clan while you or they have a lot of silver. Steal that silver in either direction a couple times for a wild amount of points! Keep in mind you will be competing against giant interkingdom raiders.
Good luck on these events! I hope to see a cornucopia of titles after each of your names!
Thanks 275,
Joe
