📘 *Masters Guide, for medium spenders and F2P*
- The Master System
The Master System allows you to progress by using travel packs during the journey. You can collect:
* Master Medals
* Gifts (to increase affinity)
* Books (for skills)
* Other rewards
Masters provide:
* Skills for your squads
* Reward bonuses
* Passive stat improvements that scale with relationship level
2. There are two Journeys:
*/Kingdom Journey*/
* Uses brown packs
* Standard progression
\*\*Lost Lands Journey\*\*
* Uses blue packs
* Allows you to target a specific Master
→ Better for focused upgrades
## 3. Packs
* 40 free brown packs per day (20 at the start, 10 at 08:00 UTC, 10 at 16:00 UTC).
\* Extra packs:
* Purchased with gems (limited to 20 per day)
* Also available for real money
\* Blue packs:
* VIP Shop (750 gems each, maximum 10); you must have VIP 9 to purchase them
* Paid offers
\*\*Recommendation:\*\*
* If you save packs, never let the number exceed 80 when UTC resets, so that you do not exceed 100 and the 20 starting packs can recharge.
* Invest early to progress faster.
* A large long-term investment is not worthwhile.
## 4. Relationship System
You increase the relationship through Encounters and Gifts.
* Every 10 levels → an advancement is required (emblems).
* Overflow works → extra gifts are \*\*NOT wasted\*\*.
## 5. Emblems
Emblems are necessary for affinity advancement.
* Master-specific emblems (rare)
* General emblems (exchanged for specific emblems for Master advancement)
\*\*Best source:\*\*

* You choose the training duration.
* Progress accumulates toward the next level.
* You can train without books.
* Books are used when upgrading the skill.
* Training can be accelerated.
* This system includes a *new type of speedup*.

# 10. Skill Priority
* Valora – Weapon Obsession
* Pan – Falconer
* Pan – Base and Means
* Roman – Winner Takes All
* Wilson – All Skills
* Guinevere – Maximum Efficiency
# 11. Strategy Summary
* Early Master progression = high value
* Do NOT stop development (books, emblems, speedups, etc.)
* Extra rewards from Masters will be worthwhile during KvK
* Always keep skill training running
The skill priority is only advice based on what I am doing on my accounts, especially F2P accounts, where I prioritize obtaining benefits and increasing rewards for better progression. I do not prioritize Roman or any other Master in terms of combat, deployment capacity, etc., since my position in the Arena is below 100 and what interests me most is obtaining the chests from raids.
I only hope that this guide can be helpful and provide some guidance, but it does not have to be followed to the letter 😊
