Let me start off by saying that I am not a casher, so these tips are for those of you that don't spend a single cent towards the game. Also know that I started playing LoA back in early October of 2014, so I have been playing for a few months and have learned some tips and tricks along the way that I would like to share.
I. MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RESOURCES - Save most resources you aquire for use during certain events, such as Consuming Regaining. If you stockpile on things such as Runestones, Blessed Stones, Soulstones, Refining Stones, Element Crystals, Gem Enhancement Stones, Enchanted Ore, Enchant Stones, Aegis Shards, Seraph's Stones and Angel Tears, you can use certain amounts of them to gain extra rewards from a Hot Event.
II. DEVOTE YOURSELF TO DEVOTION - You earn extra rewards for allocating certain amounts of devotion throughout the day. You earn devotion by completing certain challenges. If you're thinking that you won't be able to get much devotion without pouring a lot of money into the cause, well... YOU'RE WRONG! As I said at the beginning of this post, I do not cash. Without cashing, I can easily have over 600 devotion at the end of the day. Here are a few tips to help you earn devotion much quicker:
a. ENHANCE EQUIPMENT (10 pts / 5 times max) - Use some gold to enhance some equipment. If it requires a lot of gold to enhance, then you can purchase some equipment from the Arena Shop for as little as 20 Dragon Crests. Once you max out that equipment, simply sell it and repeat the process as many times as you like.
b. UPGRADE ASTRAL (20 pts / 1 time max) - When you level up, you can upgrade the Astral to increase some stats. This task is very unfair for people that are levels 60 or higher because it takes a few days or even weeks to level up. Don't kill yourself over missing these 20 points because most people miss it, but it's still possible to make over 700 devotion without completing this task.
c. RUNE (5 pts / 5 times max) - Upgrade a hero's Rune ability. If you are saving Runestones, what I would do is just upgrade the hero's Rune that costs the least amount of Runestones to upgrade, and only upgrade it 5 times.
d. DRILLS (10 pts / 5 times max) - Train heroes in the Drills. A VERY helpful tip to get the most out of this task is to train heroes for an 8 hour period. Training for only 8 hours allows you to train heroes a total of 3 times in one day. This is of course assuming that you only have 2 training slots. To get the third training slot, it requires vip and diamonds.
e. ALCHEMY (10 pts / 5 times max) - This is, in my opinion, the easiest task to complete. You get 2 daily attempts for free. What I do is I spend 10 diamonds for a third attempt. You will learn why I spend the diamonds on the third attempt later on in this guide. NOTE: If you have purchased 1 month vip for 699 diamonds, you get 7 daily attempts for free, so there is no need to spend any diamonds on an extra attempt.
f. CHALLENGE IN ARENA (5 pts / 10 times max) - This is another no brainer. Simply challenge in the arena. Win or lose, it doesn't matter as you will still earn the devotion points no matter what. You can use the Arena tips I give you later on in this guide to make it even easier.
g. GEMOLOGY (20 pts / 1 time max) - I take back what I said about Alchemy being the easiest task to complete!
All you have to do is get one match of gems in Gemology to earn these 20 points. It's that easy! If you're trying to save Gemology energy for something like the Tycoon, then just make one match (spending just one energy) and you're good to go.
h. WORLD BOSS (20 pts / 1 time max) - Participate in the World Boss event. I never get this one because on my server, World Boss happens at 3:00 AM for me, so I'm usually in bed sleeping at that hour! I still make over 600 devotion without completing this task, so don't sweat it if it happens at a bad time for you.
i. JOIN QUIZ (30 pts / 1 time max) - Take part in the daily quiz event when it rolls around. Nothing more to it!
j. JOIN GAUNTLET (20 pts / 1 time max) - Particpate in your guild's Gauntlet event. Be sure to check the times for Gauntlet, Domination and Twilight Clash as they may differ from server to server.
k. ETERNAL SPIRE (30 pts / 1 time max) - Blitz the Eternal Spire at least one time to complete this task.
l. JOIN WYRMRACCE (30 pts / 1 time max) - Release any wyrm in the WyrmRace event to make this one. Pretty self-explanitory I'd say.
m. JACKPOT (20 pts / 1 time max) - Test your luck in the Jackpot minigame. Who cares if it's a bad day for you or if you broke a mirror earlier in the day? You will still get the devotion points.
n. JOIN RAIDERS (20 pts / 1 time max) - Explore in the Raiders at least one time to make the most out of this task.
o. JOIN TEAM DUNGEON (10 pts / 5 times max) - Complete up to 5 Team Dungeon levels with a friend or two. Of all of these tasks, this one is probably the most important, especially if you didn't do any Team Arena battles. Try your best not to skip Team Dungeon because you're throwing away 50 points.
p. JOIN TEAM ARENA (10 pts / 5 times max) - When it is time for Team Arena, do it. There are two different times for Team Arena, so you have two chances to join a Team Arena battle.
q. PLANT IN GARDEN (20 pts / 1 time max) - Plant in your garden. Read the tips that come later in this guide for extra help in the Garden, such as deciding which seeds to plant and so on.
r. TIDAL POOL (30 pts / 1 time max) - Play the Tidal Pool minigame. The pool of fish refreshes twice a day (at midnight at and noon), so you have two chances to do this task.
s. JOIN EREBUS (50 pts / 1 time max) - Blitz Erebus at least one time to complete this task.
t. GEM SOCKETING (20 pts / 1 time max) - This is another one you could almost do in your sleep! Simply socket any gem into any socket. Ta-dah! If you have no open sockets available, just unsocket one gem, then resocket that same gem. It's so easy, you will feel as though you're cheating the system!
u. HERO TRAINING (30 pts / 1 time max) - Train any hero at least one time. If you are saving Soulstones for something like Consuming Regaining or Emerging Resources, simply spend a few Soulstones to train a hero once, that way it won't put too much of a dent in your Soulstone supply. By the way, it's surprising how many people are unaware of this fact - Mounts count as heroes in this case. If all your heroes are fully trained, don't feel at a loss! You can train your mount and it will count as training a hero.
v. HERO BLESSING (50 pts / 1 time max) - Put up a few Blessed Stones towards blessing a hero to earn these 50 points. As always, if you're saving Blessed Stones, use the bare minimal amount required to bless a hero once. The same often unknown fact that applies to hero training applies here as well. Blessing a mount has the same result that blessing a hero does.
w. CHALLENGE IN ZODIAC (30 pts / 1 time max) - Challenge in Zodiac. Simply blitz it at least one time to complete this task. Easy!
III. KEEP UP TO DATE WITH UPDATES - Usually when you're a lower level or, not to be rude or offensive, a noob, most of the updates that may come around may be unavailable to you until you reach a certain level or have a certain requirement, but it pays to know what's going on. There will usually be a new update ever couple of weeks, so usually 1-3 a month on average. Holiday seasons, like around Christmas time, you should expect more frequent updates. Why should I care about updates, you ask? Well, that way you don't miss out on some big events. You know the saying, 'the early bird gets the worm'? It's like that. The sooner you participate in an event, the more rewards you could collect.
IV. DO YOUR DAILY 'DAYLIES' - 'Daylies' is a term often used for all of the daily things you can do. Eternal Spire, Zodiac, Garden, Gemology, Arena, Drills, Alchemy, Dark Abyss, Tarot Cards, Totems, Inferno, Tidal Pool, Dragonsouls, Team Dungeon and Raiders are several examples of what daylies are. If you had to pick one tip to follow throughout this entire guid, it HAS to be this one! Without a vip status, you can easily earn 10 million gold or more just from doing your daylies, and that's not including any extra, seasonal events, such as Angel's Quiz, Beach Treasure or the House of Cards! I understand that not everyone that reads this guid may know what everything I just named off are, but that's okay. I will explain what everything is in the next section of this guid, so look down!
V. EVENT EXPERTISE - Know your events and what there is to do and when to do it. This is VERY important!!
This is a list of all the major events and minigames along with when you unlock them (letters in parenthesis after certain events are abbreviations often used by other players):
DAILY EVENTS...
SEASONAL EVENTS...
I really hope all this is helpful to someone. It was a lot of work to make this comprehensive guide, so please be thankful for all the time and effor that was put into this.
Feel free to suggest changes or improvements or things to add that I may have forgotten. I intend to add to this and make changes as things change in the game. I will try to keep this as up-to-date as possible.
