The gathering guide

Its Finally Here

There are a few things to remeber when it comes down to gathering. First and foremost is having the proper generals, proper gear and finally teck.

----------------------------------------------------

Gear

This is one of THE most important aspects of gathering quickly and affectively. You want king's gear for your gathering generals with full stars and a single refine boosting the % gathering speed. Let's break it down.

Monarch Gear

Monarch gear is a good way to boost your speeds. Choose 1 resource to gather at a time and adjust your monarch gear to give yourself a boost on that resource type. Keep the gear set the whole time you are gathering to get the benefits.

Refines

     For your Gear you will refine your king's gear based on what type of gear you've made. For example if you make stone % pants refine to get a bonus gathering stone with gold. The following are the typed of gears that can be refined. If a gathering refine can be done on a peice of gear you can make a golden warriors gear price just below king's gear to get a 12% refine instead of 15%. This makes it cheaper on materials you will want to spend on dragons or combat gears.

Example:

----------------------------------------------------

Generals

For your gathering generals you will want a general that increases gathering speed, load, or total RSS taken from a tile. The priority is as follows

Tier 1

RSS from a tile

(Queen Jindeok)

↓

Tier 2

Gathering speed, minor RSS from tile

(Constance I, Lucy)

↓

Tier 3

Troop load

(Atilla and a few others)

The following is preferencial to myself,
I cultivate only politics in generals I know will never be used for anything aside from gathering. This is because I have duty generals set up already.

To level up I'd suggest 1 of two things based on how far along you are. 

1) level your generals using subs in battlefiled

2) if you can't successfully defend in battlefield reinforce a member who can with 1 troop and debuff gear if you have it.

----------------------------------------------------

Tiles

Tiles are important because they can increase or decrease you farming speed. For best results stick to tiles lvl 12 and up. I usually hit 13s due to lazieness.

----------------------------------------------------

Extra buffs

Stick within Allience City limits for a 25% boost.

Substitute refined gold warriors helmets with a refined dragon gear helmet. 

- This will provide higher % refines and with 2 pieces if dragon gear on your gen a 15% boost for gathering

----------------------------------------------------

Teck

There's an important balance. When I make farming accounts they are focused on a single RSS for a few reasons.

- It's faster to research the gathering teck

- It's easier to send out farms

- You'll need to focus on 1 RSS to gather at a time in order to maximize returns

- It only requires 1 set of gear to be made, started and refined.

On a main account you should have your research maxed on all rss types wether or not you follow this guide.
