Subscriptions, Writs & Speed-ups

Writs are the realm's premium currency. They buy speed-ups, packs, chests and shop items. Subscriptions add standing bonuses and a monthly Writ stipend.

Subscription tiers

Build slots and percentage bonuses are always derived from your live tier. If you cancel or downgrade, unused bonus wheel spins from the higher tier are reclaimed; your base spin stays.

Writs and speed-ups

  • 1 Writ skips 5 minutes of any timer — building upgrades, research, training or courses.
  • Outgoing marches can also be hurried with Writs from the World screen.
  • Writs buy Shields, 2× resource boosts, chests, Champion materials and Starter Packs.
  • Writs are also earned for free: quests, achievements, the daily wheel, login streaks and referral milestones.

Starter packs

Starter Packs are limited to one purchase per account, per pack. They bundle resources, Writs and items at a discount and are aimed at the first weeks of a keep.

What Writs never buy

Writs cannot buy troops outright, rank points, honour, or protection from a march already in flight. Everything a paying player can obtain, a patient player can also reach — subscriptions change pace, not ceilings.
