To farm Gold Ingots quickly as a beginner in Kingdom Story: Brave Legion, level low-rarity fodder officers to their maximum level cap and claim the one-time milestone rewards from the Illustrated Book. Every unique officer awards Gold Ingots the first time they reach their level ceiling. Because 1-star and 2-star units require minimal experience to max out, cycling them through combat yields a rapid stream of premium currency without spending money.
Fodder Level Requirements and Rewards
Common recruits drop frequently from campaign stages, normal recruit scrolls, and free daily summons. Do not sell these units unleveled. Instead, level each unique officer once to hit their codex threshold before using them as upgrade fuel.
| Officer Rarity | Maximum Level Cap | Experience Requirement | Primary Leveling Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Star | Level 10 | Very low | 1–2 campaign clears or low-tier EXP books |
| 2-Star | Level 20 | Moderate | Short campaign carry runs |
| 3-Star | Level 30 | High | Regular campaign progression and passive training |
Once an officer reaches their cap, open the Illustrated Book to claim the Gold Ingot reward. After the payout is registered, that specific unit becomes safe to use as enhancement material or promotion fodder for your primary combat team.
How to Set Up a Campaign Carry Run
Farming experience efficiently requires distributing combat EXP to fodder without failing the stage. Running a full squad of max-level officers wastes all earned experience, while running only weak units causes defeats.
- Select a self-sufficient carry: Deploy one or two strong officers, such as a durable frontline vanguard with sustain or a high-damage backline officer capable of clearing waves unassisted.
- Fill remaining slots with fodder: Add three to four unleveled 1-star or 2-star officers to the empty squad slots.
- Pick an easy stage: Choose an early campaign node that your carry officer can clear reliably on auto-battle in roughly thirty seconds.
- Swap capped units immediately: As soon as a 1-star unit hits Level 10 or a 2-star unit hits Level 20, replace them with a new Level 1 officer.
Check the Illustrated Book before running stages to verify which officers still have unclaimed rewards. Completed entries display a clear completion mark, preventing you from wasting energy leveling duplicate units whose rewards were already collected.
Supplementary Ingot Sources and Spending Priorities
Combine fodder leveling with core account routines to maintain a steady influx of Gold Ingots:
- Clear campaign chapters with three stars: Earning full stars across an entire chapter unlocks region reward chests containing lump sums of Ingots.
- Complete daily and weekly assignments: Finishing regular task lists provides consistent baseline currency for minimal stamina expenditure.
- Push new scenarios: Clearing novel campaign stages, challenge towers, and special event maps awards first-time clear bonuses.
Where to Direct Farmed Ingots
Avoid spending premium currency on speed-up timers for construction, regular shop refreshes, or copper bundles. Allocate your initial Ingots toward:
- Barracks inventory expansion: Purchasing additional officer storage early prevents inventory caps from forcing premature sales of unmaxed fodder.
- High-value summons: Save accumulated Ingots for guaranteed recruitment banners and limited rate-up events.
- Energy refreshes: Purchase stamina refills during scheduled double-drop campaign events to maximize resource acquisition.
