Action points are the energy that you can use on various tasks, and by completing tasks, you will be rewarded with gems, speedups, resources, etc. You can use them to destroy barbarian forts and barbarians. You can use them at an event like the Karuak Ceremony, the Eve of the Crusade event, etc.
How to get more action points
Because you will use action points in Rise of Kingdoms every day, you need to know how to get them as much as you can. The problem is that you cannot farm it like food or wood. You can get them by buying and with action point recovery.
Buying Action Points
In the early days of Rise of Kingdoms, you could buy daily special offers to receive some action points, but they removed that.
Now the only way to buy action points is in the VIP shop. But their number is limited, and you can buy 30 of the 100 action points per week. The shop will be restarted every Monday.
There is one more way, and that is with gems. You will be able to buy it with gems only if you do not have any action points left. But I would not recommend that because it will cost you so much, and you can invest those gems in legendary commanders or speedups to get your Tier 5 units faster.
Action Points Recovery
This is a very important part if you want to increase action point recovery. You can do it with many things, and we will cover it all.
- VIP Level: VIP is a great way to get your action points recovery up. Not only will you get more recovery, but other buffs will also help you a lot. So work on your VIP.
- Holy Sites: Usually the most powerful alliances have those holy sites, so try to join them. The Shrine of Radiance will give you 20% more action points for recovery.
- Runes: Every day when you enter the game, try to find a rune that will give you up to 15% of action point recovery.
Best way to get more action points
The best way to get action points in Rise of Kingdoms is by joining a very active alliance with 100 members who are doing forts every day. Spending free ROK action points that you produce on forts will fill up your alliance with chests from forts. In that chest, you have a chance to get 50 action points. So you can save them, and when one of the big events comes, you can use them.
Some events will give you action points as part of the reward.
Spending Action points for event rewards
Now spend your daily action points that you produce, but save your action points for events. Karuak Ceremony is an event where you will spend some extra rok action points, but where you need to go all-in is during the Eve of the Crusade event. This event is before the KVK event.
With the Eve of the Crusade event, you will receive an insane amount of rewards that will boost your process of getting tier 5, and you will earn a good amount of individual credits. Go all-in on this event if you are not planning to compete in KVK honors for the top 20 spots.
