FAQ About WaO - NTY - 1642

Preparation

When you create a farm, you are basically building a new castle. Where your priorities for your main castle are (fast) growth and warfare (lord skills, technology, equipment, etc.), this will be the opposite for your farm castle. The only purpose of a farm is to produce and gather resources for your main castle.

To start creating your farm, click your avatar at the left top of your screen. There you will see 'Account'. Before you proceed, double-check that your main castle is bound to either Facebook, Gmail, etc. to make sure you don't lose it. By doing this, you will always be able to switch back to your main castle. Once this is done, click 'New game'.

Let's create a farm!

Once you click 'New game', a new castle will be created. First of all, make sure you place this new castle in the same realm as your main castle. In our case, this is realm 1642. Next, you will go through the same walkthrough as you did when you created your main castle.

As soon as you can, put your farm in one of our farm alliances: TAT, LOL or MAX. You can reach out to Tatnala or Elly with the name of your farm and we'll invite it to the farm alliance.

Next, use a teleport to bring your farm close(s) to your main castle. Farms need to be cleaned regularly to prevent others from looting your resources. Having your farm(s) close makes this a lot less time-consuming.

Don't forget to tag your castle. In the signature of your farm, put something like "NTY farm - Elly's farm". This way our allies and enemies will know they are attacking a farm that belongs to you.

Congratulations, you have a farm. How do you make it a good farm?

Buildings:

   • It is essential to upgrade your farm to level 15 because this is when iron becomes available and the Star Ruins are unlocked. Do this as fast as possible by only focusing on building upgrades that are absolutely necessary to upgrade your castle.

   • Build as many resource buildings as you can, as fast as you can. When your castle's level goes up, more resource buildings will become available. Build them all, even if that means building fewer training grounds or medic tents. REMARK: You can remove a building to make room for resource buildings by selecting it, going to 'Details' and clicking 'Remove'.

   • Once your castle reaches level 15, upgrade all your resource buildings to level 15 to maximize resource output. Continue to ignore all other building upgrades that are not focused on resource production.

   • Upgrade your College to level 15 as well, so you can invest in relevant technology (see Technology).

Troops:

   • Immediately start recruiting T2 Cavalry (Dragon Rider). Continue to recruit them until you have enough of them to gather resources at three level 5 resource tiles simultaneously. These are the only troops you will need on your farm, as they are cheap to recruit, fast to recruit, carry a decent load (18) and don't give away points to the enemy when they are killed during events (Kill event, Frenzy, Void).

Lord Skills:

   • As your lord level increases, you will have lord skills available. Spend them all in 'Development', focusing only on resource production and resource gathering. Don't use lord skills to improve 'Depot Capacity' or 'Stamina Recovery', these are irrelevant for a farm.

   • Once you have 11 lord skills available, you can unlock the 'Harvest' skill on the 'Development' tab. This skill can be used every 12 hours, and will instantly give you 6 hours' worth of output from all your resource buildings. The higher level of your resource buildings, the bigger the output of the Harvest skill.

Technology:

   • In the college, mainly focus your research on the 'Resources' tab. Doing this will increase your resource output and resource-gathering efficiency.

   • Don't upgrade 'Depot' more than absolutely necessary. This will result in you being able to take fewer resources from your farm.

   • Unlock more gathering marches as soon as you can. You can do this by researching 'Legion' in the 'Military' tab.

   • Reduce the taxes you have to pay to other alliances when you are gathering resources. You do this by researching 'Tax rate' in the 'Development' tab.

   • OPTIONAL: You can research 'Architecture' and 'Research' in the 'Development' tab to speed up building upgrades and research in the college.

Actions:

Once your farm is fully established, you will have to visit it regularly. Besides upgrading resource buildings, recruiting T2 cavalry and research upgrades, these are some actions to go through when you log into your farm:

   • Donate to the alliance technology to improve 'Production'

   • Claim 'Alliance Quest' and 'Alliance Gift'

   • Open all your mails (Select > Claim)

   • Use the 'Harvest' skill every 12 hours

   • Collect resources from your resource buildings (shake your phone)

   • Daily quests: do some of the easy ones (e.g,. give flowers) to claim rewards

   • Put your troops in the Star Ruins (Shallow Lode 1). You can resource chests from the Ruins Shop about once a week. Send out your T2 cavalry to gather in either the farm alliance's elite mines or resource tiles. Be sure to watch for a few seconds to make sure nobody else is headed towards the same resource tile since attacks on resource tiles will cause losses.
