To get Gems efficiently as a free-to-play player in the Rebirth of Glory Top Chieftain event, target specific point milestone rewards rather than competing for top leaderboard positions. Pushing for high server ranks requires heavy resource spending that non-paying players cannot maintain. By spending just enough speedups and stamina to trigger Gem-yielding milestones, you build a steady currency payout while preserving resources for future events.
Target Point Milestones Instead of Leaderboard Ranks
The most effective free-to-play strategy is treating the Top Chieftain event as a periodic Gem harvest. Leaderboard rewards offer high payouts, but competing against heavy spenders quickly drains your item inventory for uncertain returns.
Before spending any speedups or stamina, check the event score rewards to identify which tiers grant Gems:
- Identify the target tier: Locate the highest realistic point threshold that grants Gems based on your stored resources.
- Stop at the cutoff: Once you reach the target point milestone, stop spending event resources immediately.
- Store the surplus: Save all remaining speedups, stamina items, and training boosts for the next event rotation.
Spending Priorities for Speedups and Stamina
Top Chieftain event points typically come from settlement construction, troop recruitment, and map combat. Concentrate your stored assets strictly on tasks that generate event score.
| Resource Type | Recommended Event Objective | Spending Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Speedups | Building upgrades, troop training | Apply speedups incrementally to push projects across the finish line only when you need points for the next Gem milestone. |
| Stamina | Monster hunting, map encounters | Drain natural stamina daily on designated event targets. Use stamina recovery items only if the resulting points secure a Gem reward. |
Avoid dumping speedups all at once without checking your current milestone progress. If a building upgrade finishes and leaves you just short of a Gem payout, use minor speedups to complete a short troop training queue to close the gap cleanly.
When to Save Resources and Skip Events
Resource availability determines whether you should participate aggressively in a given Top Chieftain cycle. If your inventory of stamina items and speedups is low, or if the current event score requirements are unusually high, hold off on spending.
- Check event overlaps: Review whether Top Chieftain runs alongside other settlement activities. Spending resources during overlapping events increases the overall value of every speedup used.
- Evaluate core base progress: Never consume resources earmarked for vital settlement upgrades—such as key research or higher troop tier unlocks—solely to gain immediate event points.
- Avoid panic spending: If your event rank drops near the end of the timer, resist the urge to throw extra speedups into the event. Rank adjustments rarely yield enough extra Gems to justify depleting your reserves.
By consistently hitting lower and middle point milestones across consecutive Top Chieftain events, you ensure a reliable income of free Gems to spend on high-value shop items, permanent settlement buffs, or hero growth without stalling your settlement progression.
