“More than sparkles”: how to get the most out of gem rewards in Rise of Kingdoms
One of the most beneficial events for the economy of Rise of Kingdoms - "More Than Sparkles" - regularly returns to the game, and with each launch, players are faced with the same question: how to spend gems to the maximum benefit. A fresh analysis of profitable combos was published by the Russian-speaking community riseof.ru.
The key feature of the event is that it fits perfectly with other activities. It makes sense to plan large expenditures of gems specifically for the “More Than Blings” period, combining them with parallel events: stages of the “Treasure of the Holy Knight”, tasks of mobilizing the alliance and spins of the “Wheel of Fortune”. So, each spent gem works for several progressions at once.
How the event works
For every gems spent (accelerations, resource sets, Wheel spins, store purchases), stage progress is awarded. For passing the rapids, rewards are given: accelerations, resources, keys, sculptures of commanders. The final stages are usually the most valuable, so the "don't spread your spending" strategy works best: save up gems between runs and spend them in one batch during the event window.
Tips for a profitable combo
- Combine with “Treasures of the Holy Knight”: the stages of this event are also tied to spending gems - the same expenses will close the progress of two events at once.
- Complete mobilization tasks: consuming resources and accelerations within an alliance mobilization will additionally bring points to the alliance and personal rewards.
- Don’t spend gems outside of the event: the habit of postponing purchases until the event window is the main source of “free” progress for players without donating.
- Spin the Wheel only during the window: spins of the Wheel of Fortune count towards spending, and bonus rewards of stages make the exchange noticeably more profitable.
The exact thresholds of stages and the list of rewards Lilith changes from launch to launch - the current numbers are always visible in the event window in the game. The main rule remains the same: spending gems outside the event means lost rewards.
