Achieve Huge Boosts In Training Speed From Certain Relics
The Training Speed Bonuses from Relics make them worthy of not trading into the Bazaar.
When the Bazaar came out in BETA the immediate reaction from a number of people was, “Great, now I can get rid of all my Relic items”.
Relics were created for fighting gear, but have been far surpassed by Core gear. What a very large number of players don't realize is that certain Relics have a secondary purpose.
Troop Training Speed Bonuses.
For
those of us who can’t afford a set of General’s Gear, and many of us
can’t, but still want to mass train some troops, what should we do?
There are Relics out there that will give you from 12-40% Troop Training Speed boosts. You can gain yourself an extra 30% troop training time boost for less than 500k silver. The cheapest piece of Generals Gear (General’s Vestment) cost 459m silver and gives you a 30% training time boost. You could craft 918 Dragon Fang Helms (30% boost) for the cost of 1 General’s Vestment!!!
Even when crafted as a Purple item, Relics still give you quite a training time boost. Combine
some of these with the 50% Training Queue Boosts that MZ has been
handing out lately and you can build a large army fast.
Huge
power players all have their full set of Generals Gear, but for those
of us who don’t, Relics can help us cut down our training time a lot.
The two downsides to Relics is that they are hard to discover, and they are on a timer so after they are used up, they are gone.
If
you are an experienced veteran player, you most likely have a buildup
of relic materials in your inventory from the past year or 2 of playing
Game of War. So, you should be able to craft a number of Relic items.
When
the Bazaar opens, do not rush to get rid of all your Relics, craft what
you can into useful items then get rid of those that you do not need
any longer.
Below is a list of some of the better Relics. I
only looked at items that provide a 20%+ boost when crafted as gold,
there are a few items that provide a 10-19% boost that aren’t listed
below. The stats don’t lie, don’t rush to get rid of all your Relic materials when the Bazaar finally lands in game.
