Your First Goal: Kingdom Tower Level 3
Around player level 10–20, with Kingdom level 2 and mostly Tier 1–3 gear, your first big goal is to reach Kingdom Tower Level 3 for your initial power spike and to unlock weekly $TLRPG rewards.
At this stage, focus on: stabilizing resource income, rushing Tower 3 efficiently, and avoiding getting stuck on missing materials.
Core Priorities (K1–K3)
1. Upgrade All Core Businesses to Level 2
Get Wheat Farm, Lumber Mill, Quarry, Provisioner, and Textile Mill from Level 1 to 2 as soon as your income allows. This secures a steady flow of wheat, wood, rock, cloth, and food so you are not blocked when pushing Kingdom upgrades.
2. Clear the Bounty Board Before Every Kingdom Upgrade
Before you can upgrade your Kingdom Tower, the relevant Bounty/Stage requirement must be fulfilled — all required mobs on the board must be killed and the stage condition met, otherwise the upgrade button stays locked. Make it a habit: Board first, then Tower.
3. Push Kingdom Tower While Building Income
Upgrade your Kingdom Tower from Level 1 → 2 early to increase Bronze income per second and your resource cap, but do it in parallel with Business upgrades. Avoid the trap of only pushing the Tower later; without Level 2 businesses you risk sitting at Tower 2 with no materials to reach 3.
Gear, Chests, and Preparation for K3
Use Wood Chests early to fill all equipment slots with at least Tier 1–2 gear. As you approach K3, reduce Wood Chest spending and start saving Bronze for Bronze Armory Chests after Tower 3.
Before upgrading to Kingdom 3, your ideal state is:
- Most or all core Businesses at Level 2
- Bounty/Stage requirement cleared
- Kingdom Tower materials within reach
- A basic gear set (mostly Tier 1–3) that handles Level 2 enemies
- A small Bronze reserve ready for Bronze Armory Chests at K3
Why Kingdom 3 Is Your First Power Spike
The jump from Kingdom Tower Level 2 → 3 is the biggest early milestone:
- Increases Bronze income and storage cap — reduces wasted production
- Unlocks Bronze Armory Chests — ~90% chance for Tier III+ gear (your main farming tool)
- Unlocks the weekly $TLRPG Rewards Pool — passive weekly token payouts that grow with your Kingdom level

Post-K3: Dynamic Investing
At Kingdom 3, shift your spending:
- Focus on Bronze Armory Chests to build a full Tier III+ gear set
- Continue scaling Businesses beyond Level 2 for future Kingdom upgrades
- Dynamic decisions: If resources are your bottleneck → invest in Businesses. If gear/Bronze is your bottleneck → clear Bounties, upgrade Tower, buy Bronze Armory Chests

Progression Tips Summary
- Early Game (K1–K3): Upgrade all Businesses to Level 1–2 and rush Kingdom Tower to Level 2–3. These upgrades are cheap and only require Ember and Verdite.
- Mid Game (K3–K5): Raise one core Business to Level 3 and the others to Level 2–3 before pushing Kingdom Tower to Level 4–5.
- Late Game (K6–K10): Long-term goals! Focus on raising several Businesses to Level 4+ to handle the massive Bronze and Rare Material requirements.
