Rose Shop in Rise of Kingdoms: Event Guide and Best Rewards (2026)

Information is current as of August 2026.

Rose Shop is the festive store of the Qixi festival (the Night of Sevens) in Rise of Kingdoms, launched with patch 1.1.10 in kingdoms older than 21 days. Throughout the event you earn roses — a special currency — and exchange them in the shop for commander sculptures, keys, speedups and other valuable items. Here is where the roses come from and what is actually worth buying.

How to Get Roses

Roses are awarded for activity during the festival:

Festival quests — a daily chain of simple tasks (log in, train troops, gather resources, help allies) gives a stable flow of roses;
Map activity — defeating barbarians and gathering bring extra currency;
Other Night of Sevens events — playing the parallel festival activities (Runes Among Ruins, Esmeralda's Prayer and others) tops up your rose stash;
Festival bundles — for spenders, the fastest way to buy out the top slots of the shop.

A free player who completes the quests every day earns enough roses for one or two top rewards — the event is deliberately friendly to non-spenders.

What to Buy First

The shop's stock is limited, so the order of purchases matters. The community's priority list:

Legendary commander sculptures — the scarcest resource in the game, always the first buy. Especially relevant during the festival because of the debut of the new commander Yahya ibn Khalid.
Golden keys — a steady source of sculptures and commanders from the tavern.
Universal speedups — the working currency of any stage of the game.
Resource packs — only with leftover roses, when the valuable slots are already bought out.

Tips for the Event

Decide on your target on day one and count how many roses you need — this shows how strict you must be with daily quests.
Do not spend roses until the end of the festival: you may change your mind about the target as the new commander's meta develops.
Check the shop timer — unspent roses disappear when the event ends.

Player Reviews

The Rose Shop is traditionally praised as the most straightforward part of the Night of Sevens: no randomness, you see the price list and calmly work toward your goal. Free players note that the reward bar is set reasonably — you do not have to no-life the game to afford the key slots. Bundle buyers like that the shop lets them finish off missing sculptures in a targeted way instead of gambling on keys.

Complaints concern mainly the limited stock of the top slots and the fact that some desirable items are locked behind activity thresholds. Some players would like roses to carry over between festivals, but the currency resets — spend everything.

Community Discussion Breakdown

In community threads the Rose Shop is discussed as an optimization problem: players post their farming plans and compare how many roses a pure F2P route yields per day. The shared conclusion: daily quests plus barbarians comfortably cover the first two priority slots. The second topic is the eternal "sculptures vs keys" debate — the majority votes for sculptures, since keys are a lottery while the shop slot is a guaranteed result.

Bottom Line

The Rose Shop is a reliable way to convert your festival activity into guaranteed rewards: complete the quests daily, combine farming with other Night of Sevens events and spend roses on sculptures and keys first. And do not leave currency unspent — it will vanish with the shop.
