Item Guide

Overview

  • Event currency used in the Area of Conquest.
  • Collected during the event to increase Castle Level, or automatically exchanged for rewards after the event ends.
  • Depending on the acquisition method, some coins are kept only by the player, while others are also counted toward Guild ranking.

Types of Superior Coins

  • Player-kept Coins
    Used to increase Castle Level or automatically exchanged for rewards after the event ends if left unused.
  • Ranking-reflected Coins
    Function the same as player-kept coins, but the amount obtained is automatically added to the Guild’s ranking score, which determines victory or defeat.

Quest Rewards

  • Superior Coins obtained from event quests are player-kept only.
  • If completed quests are left unclaimed, they will be automatically exchanged for rewards after the event ends.
  • To contribute to Castle Level, you must manually claim the quest and deliver the coins to the Castle.

Map Treasure Chests

  • When any Guild member opens a treasure chest, coins are distributed to all Guild members.
  • These coins are reflected in rankings, but only one player’s worth is counted.
  • To contribute to Castle Level, each member must manually deliver their coins — this is not automatic.

Occupying Settlements

  • Coins are earned by the occupying player over time.
  • Even if multiple members support the defense, only the occupying player receives the coins.
  • A 32-point settlement generates 32 points per minute.
  • In practice, these are often Guild efforts, so hoarding them may cause friction.
  • Coins may be granted in bulk upon login if you were offline.
  • Coins from settlement occupation are automatically reflected in rankings.

Winning Attacks

  • Coins are earned based on damage dealt. Defeating a full-health enemy grants 100 points.
  • Attacking a defended stronghold grants an additional +100 points.
  • Rotating attacks on central strongholds is an efficient and widely used strategy.
  • Coins earned are automatically reflected in rankings.

Winning Defenses

  • Successfully defending a stronghold grants 100 points.
  • These coins are likely not reflected in rankings.
  • This is presumably to prevent farming through Guild collusion.

Delivering Coins to the Castle

  • Coins can be delivered to increase Castle Level.
  • Large deliveries at low levels can raise multiple levels at once.
  • Contribution details can be checked in the Castle → Tavern → Activity log.
  • Delivering coins does not affect Guild rankings.
  • Delivery amounts are automatically determined based on coin count and cannot be manually adjusted, though timing quest claims allows partial control.

Delivering Emeralds to the Castle

  • Emeralds can be used as an alternative to coins.
  • Conversion rates are inefficient:
    • 500 Emeralds → 250 Coins
    • 5,000 Emeralds → 3,000 Coins
  • Approximate rate: 1 Superior Coin ≈ 2 Emeralds
  • Castle Level contribution is calculated in coin value.
  • Other Guild members cannot see whether Coins or Emeralds were used.
  • Emerald usage does not affect rankings, meaning spending alone cannot win the Guild competition.
