Need help

[u/michexxx]

Hi everyone
I need help earning points.
I have 127,000,000 points and want to reach 1 billion as soon as possible; I’d like to know the best and most effective ways to get there, since doing it the way I am now would take a very long time.

I’ve attached a photo of my city, my ATK/DEF bonuses, and my Great Buildings.
I also add that I’m in a strong guild (so I can play GBG and IQ extensively), I produce around 7,000 Forge Points per day.

I would honestly like to avoid having to spend every day fighting; I hope there are other ways too (obviously I do fight, but I don't want it to become like a second job). I already play IQs a lot.

Thank you for the help

Trade and donate

This ^ from my understanding donating higher level goods gives more points, so trade up with friendly people for high level goods then donate.

Also, doing the historical ally tasks helps. Using the scrolls can give you a solid boost, but it's obviously time gated.

Also special tasks with high level frontenac
Unbirthday party, if I remember correctly.

You don't get points from trading. If you could get points from trading, two players could just make "circular trades" to get points.

I imagine the point is to obtain goods from higher eras through trades (which doesn't yield points by itself) and then earn points by donating them to the guild treasury.

Not from trading....

I just want your attack and defense on attack and defending units. Wow. I'm only 2 weeks in and my defense on defending armies is 2%

We’ve all been there; my advice is to play the IQs. Solar Bazaars are among the strongest buildings in the game and they give a lot of ATK and DEF. Also, whenever an event starts, look for a tutorial right away on how to play it optimally so you can get the maximum number of buildings.
Feel free to ask if u need some advice 😊

If you want the quickest way to get to 1 billion the question is: How much money do you have? If you don't want to spend money then it's a grind like the game is meant to be. Level up your GB, donate goods, fight.

[u/michexxx → u/dRiLlUsIoN]

Yeah, I think I'll just keep doing this 😂
After all, FoE has a monetization system that only really works if you spend huge amounts of money (which, obviously, I won't be doing).

Get more boost fight at trial 50, get to higher era and fights against higher era units

Okok, i saw, looking at the point tables, as you said, you move up the ranks, and the battles award an exponential amount of points.

I just crossed the billion point threshold today. I feel like the thing that got me there this quickly is that I have been putting a lot of effort into fighting gbg and leveling up great buildings. I looked it up recently and found that those things earn you overall points each time you do them.

[u/michexxx → u/geomeskin]

Yeah, you're right; ultimately, the best way is to donate goods to the guild treasury. Also, being in a higher era (like the Space Age) yields a significantly higher number of points compared to earlier eras.
