Table of Contents

  • How to Apply Books Efficiently

General Information

There are currently 4 levels of skills books present in the game each costing different amounts: Level 1 – Purple (3000 gems), Level 2 – Orange (5000 gems), Level 3 – Yellow (8000 gems), and Level 4 – Red (Must be compiled from 10 Skill Book Pages). The higher the level, the greater the impact.

To create a Level 4 skill book you must combine 10 Skill Book Pages. These pages are made from disassembling other books. Level 1 books give 1 page, Level 2 gives 2, Level 3 gives 3 and Level 4 gives 4. To disassemble a book, click on it, and then click disassemble. The fragments can be found in the General section of the inventory.

You cannot ‘double up’ on skills for a general. For example, with Baibars (gives double drop as specialty skill), you cannot then apply the Luck skill book as he already posses the ability to obtain double items drop rate.

How to Apply Books Efficiently

Every time you apply a skill book, there is a risk that it overwrites a previous skill book already on your general:

  • 1 Skill Book = 0%
  • 2 Skill Books = 25%
  • 3 Skill Books = 50%
  • 4 Skill Books = 75%

To avoid wasting level 4 books, it is recommended to plan ahead. Think about what type of books you want on your general, and put on the equivalent of level 1 books onto the general. So for example if you want level 4 Stone Gatherer, level 4 Ore Gatherer, and level 4 Lumber Gatherer, first put on level 1 Stone Gatherer, level 1 Ore Gatherer, and level 1 Lumber Gatherer. This means that when a book does get overwritten, its a level 1 and not a level 4. When you have all books on the general, you can replace these with level 4 books – the level 4 books will overwrite their equivalent level 1 books – meaning its guaranteed you don’t waste any level 4 books!
