For quite a while, I've been hooked on the latest developed MMO game from @RumbleGames...

Kings Road!

The game has a great mixture of Adventure, RPG and Dungeon crawling, combined with a Multiplayer option. What more do you want?!

Right... tips! =)

So, I've been gathering some of the tips I found in-game and added several I personally think are worthy of mentioning in order to aide other fanatic Kings Road gamers. I divided them all into categories and will be adding more over time, either from myself, or from you! Simply post them in this thread and I will add them into this OP for others to benefit from! And remember, this is far from being complete, it is a work in progress...

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3905/14938832629_265b48f98a_t_d.jpg GATHERING LOOT :

- Opening chests will always drop rare equipment. [In-Game]

- Lockboxes contain some of the best items in the game. Find them as quest rewards! [In-Game]

- If you have enough Gems to spend, do open chests early on at low levels to gain Armor, Weapons, Charms and Rings that will give you an advantage against enemies, boosts your stats to find more valuable items, Jewels/Prisms to enchant/fuse with or boosting Elixirs. Every chest has (usually) 3 items at least, so it might be worth it, especially early on! [MrDayCee]

- Limited-time events appear in KingsRoad all the time and offer epic rewards! Keep an eye out for new events whenever you log in. [In-Game]

- Item rarity is denoted by color. White common items are the least rare, while red artifact items are the rarest. [In-Game]

- Artifact-quality items are the rarest (and most powerful) in the game. Find them only during special events! [In-Game]

- Play through Dungeons to acquire set items. They are the very best equipment in the game! [In-Game]

....................................................................................................................................................................

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5570/14938970268_653b2a6609_t_d.jpg FORGING :

- When you use the Forge, you have a chance to forge a rarer item than expected. [In-Game]

- Forge an item early by using gems to fill the empty slots. [In-Game] I personally like the easier way to save Gems; play one of the easy levels at the start and simply find some items to complete a set in forging. [MrDayCee]

- The level of the item crafted in the Forge is based on your current character level [In-Game] This means that if you are close to leveling up, you better wait with forging a new item untill you have! This can mean the difference between a great item and an awesome one... [MrDayCee]

- If you pick up armor items and you are in need of gold, always sell them separately, instead of forging them into a higher tier item to then sell them. The gain from selling them separately is always higher than the gain from the one higher tier forged item alone![MrDayCee]

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3838/14938886890_5e426d66c0_t_d.jpg ENCHANTING :

- Enchanting enables you to customize the power of your equipment by socketing them with powerful jewels. Talk to Savra in town to learn more! [In-Game]

- Did you know that you can fuse, sacrifice, or evolve jewels already socketed in your equipment? Drag your equipment into the enchanting window and see! [In-Game] This is very helpful when you're low on Gold and wish to sell some equipment, but not losing the value of the Jewel socketed inside it. Simply use the Jewel from the equipment you're going to sell to level up another Jewel in your equipment. This way the gold cost is lower (Fusion costs less than Re-Socketing!) and you get to re-use the Jewel, rather than losing it when you sell the equipment! [MrDayCee]

- The higher level a Jewel is, the more Gold it will require to fuse it. Save Jewels that grant more fusion experience for later levels. [In-Game] Allthough this is correct, it may become difficult to hold on to such high experience Jewels if you have a limited amount of spaces in your Inventory and Vault. I've managed to store one particular high experienced Crescent Shaped Jewel for quite a while myself, but in the end it is easier to simply use them once they are gained during the early stages of the game. These type of Jewels will come around again later on when you have leveled up enough and can actually socket them into equipment, which is not possible during lower levels of your character. [MrDayCee]

_________________________________________________________________________________

(!!!) Once an event is over and you have one or more Jewels which are especially for this event socketed into your equipment, you can use these Jewels for Fusion with other Jewels! This way you can benefit some more after the Event is closed and they are rendered useless for the other levels! (!!!) [MrDayCee]

- When a Jewel is at max level, you can bring it to Savra to evolve it and increase its quality and power. [In-Game]

- To evolve a Jewel, you need rare evolution materials dropped from some of the most powerful bosses in Alderstone. [In-Game]

_________________________________________________________________________________

- If you have a high enough level with your character, it is better to Sell or Trash any Crystal Powder you gather. In my opinion, it only occupies a valuable spot in your inventory and you will only need it to evolve a maxed out Jewel. Once you do have a maxed out level Jewel and you want to evolve it, new Crystal Powder is easily found while exploring World, Dungeons and Event maps. [MrDayCee]
- Allthough the jewels are rather low leveled in the beginning once you start playing, try fusing additional jewels you find together into your jewel of choice! The fusion costs are cheap and it will quickly give you an advantage with whatever power the socketed jewel posesses! You will find yourself in battles that show you have quite an advantage over the enemy because of these jewels working your stats! [MrDayCee]

- Sacrificing a Jewel for fusion experience will permanently consume that Jewel. Be sure you no longer need your Jewels before sacrificing them! [In-Game]

- If you collected several jewels and want to fuse them all to boost an already socketed one, there is two ways to appraoch this action... 1) Fuse them all at once, which will cost a few gold less in total, or 2) Fuse them all separately, which will cost a fraction more gold, but will give you the chance of a 'Great Fuse' for every single jewel, which will lead to more XP on the fused jewel in total every time! [MrDayCee]

- Max level Superiour, Epic and Legendary Jewels can be sold for Gems! [In-Game]

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3921/15122541751_04bdefe112_t_d.jpg BATTLE TACTICS :

- Right-click to move directly to a location without attacking. This command will ignore any enemies clicked on. [In-Game]

- Hold [SHIFT] before clicking to prevent movement. This is especially useful for Archers and Wizards who want to attack from afar. [In-Game]

- If you encounter a group of enemies that are strenghtened by a Flagbearer (Green = Healing, Blue = Armor or Red = Attack boosting), try luring the troops away from him by walking back a bit on the map. The troops will automatically follow to keep attacking you, but the Flagbearer keeps holding his position, thus loosing the boost capability for the troops as they get out of his range. This makes it easier to defeat the troops! [MrDayCee]

- The tactic explained in the previous tip works the same when encountering a "Healing Conjuror", who spawns a Healing Totem near your enemies, healing them when they stand beside it. Work the same way as explained above to have your enemies lured away from the Totem to make it loose the area of healing for them and you can defeat them more easily! [MrDayCee]

- Another good way to defeat troops that are strenghtened by a Flagbearer (of any kind) is to attack the Flagbearer first with a high powered attack untill he is dead, thus disabling his boosting capability and turning the rest of the troops back to their normal status and make them easier to defeat. [MrDayCee]

- When encountering an enemy that repeatedly calls for reinforcements, for example the Goblin pounding a drum, the Skeleton Shaman raising portals, or the Shroud Summoner creating a spawning vortex, be sure to attack that enemy first to ensure that the reinforcements are stopped being called for. Those reinforcement enemies give you no XP or Gold when defeated and they only make the battle more difficult. [MrDayCee]

- When encountering an Undead Archmage and he performs the slowing spell on an area you stand (the ground turns black and you are slowed down in movement, but your enemies are unaffected by it, use the "Charge" skill (when equipped) to quickly move out of this affected area! [MrDayCee]

- If you run low on health and have the healing capability for your character, but no healing Food items left to consume, try walking away from the battle once you are not engaged with an enemy. Simply wait a while for your health to grow to its maximum level again before engaging again. Even though this might sound really simple and quite obvious, it is one of the easiest ways to gain that extra help to finish the level and it is especially useful before engaging the level boss! [MrDayCee]

- If you run low on Food or Potion items facing a heavy battle and you do have enough Gold to buy new ones, simply wait to continue into that level, thus avoiding being engaged into the battle, and access the shop to buy new supplies. This is possible while playing a level and does not require you to return to town first! [MrDayCee]

- Level end Bosses usually have a distinct attacking pattern in which they fight you. Try to learn this pattern and avoid the biggest attacks they perform, then attack them in between their attacks or during smaller ones. This is very useful if you are low on Food and Drinks to aide your recovery and stronger Bosses. [MrDayCee]

- When encountering "Pestilisks" (those prehistoric armored creatures), always walk out of the poison pool they create first and then attack them. This way you can avoid loosing health while battling them. [MrDayCee]

- When encountering so-called "Bone Piles" in levels as "The Burial Grounds" and "The Forsaken Sanctuary", make sure to always destroy those as quickly as possible, before a priest will ressurect undead from them. This will decrease the number of enemies you will have to face, which is especially useful at the End Boss situation! [MrDayCee]

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5569/14938832929_9f9dd5bc90_t_d.jpg CHARACTER BOOSTING / LEVELING UP :

- Upgrade your existing skills to increase their effectiveness. (Duh...) [In-Game]

- Having trouble defeating enemies in a dungeon map? Try equipping set items! The more pieces of a set you wear, the more bonuses you receive. [In-Game]

- Passive skills increase your hero's base stats and can make the difference in a difficult battle. [In-Game]

- Try to put a lot of skill points into the passive Armor Upgrade skill especially. (available approximately around level 10) This passive skill prooves to be very effective once you have gained and equipped a lot of Armored or Armor boosting items. The increasing percentage works for every piece of Armor, even the boosting rings for example, so your Armor gain can increase significantly with this boost that gives you protection against the heavier attacking enemies weilding large weapons against you. [MrDayCee]

[MrDayCee

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3869/14938887140_fd45f5c14c_t_d.jpg ACHIEVEMENTS:

- Once enemies drop armor and weapons during a battle, always pick those up! Once your inventory is full, make a choice on which item can be disgarded (if you can of course, items of value should always be saved untill you return to town) and trash this item, thus freeing up space for a new item. All items you pick up will count towards the achievement of "Picking Up 'x' Amount Of Loot", even if you trash it to free up space, it still counts! Once you reach a new rank in this achievement, you will earn gems, which are precious payment items you will definitely need in the game! [MrDayCee]

- Increase your end-level score by killing more enemies and breaking destructible objects like barrels. [In-Game]

- When playing a Level, Event or Dungeon, always destroy breakables as they count towards your Daily Achievement (if this is given) and Barrels ("Barrel Buster&quot and Chickens ("Chicken Slayer&quot count towards your overall "Great Feats" achievements! [MrDayCee]

....................................................................................................................................................................

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3897/14938973037_e6ecb112ff_t_d.jpg PERFORMANCE :

- You can Turn off damage numbers and enemy health bars in the options menu if you need to improve game performance. [In-Game]

I think there's a mistake. In the Gathering Loot section it says Artifact-quality items are the rarest (and most powerful) in the game. Find them only during special events! [In-Game], whereas it should be MYTHIC-quality items are the rarest (and most powerful) in the game. Find them only during special events! [In-Game].
