Rise of Kingdoms equipment is one of the most important progression systems, especially in older kingdoms where most players have maxed technology and commanders. Before investing in legendary gear, it is usually best to outfit your primary commanders with full purple (epic) sets.
Spenders may have a head start, but smart planning closes the gap. Not all RoK equipment is worth crafting, so choose upgrades carefully. For example, upgrading from purple boots to legendary boots for a small stat increase is rarely worth the materials. Legendary weapons typically provide the biggest returns.
This guide covers free and paid ways to obtain materials and blueprints, so you can craft efficiently whether you are free-to-play, low spender, mid spender, or a high spender.
RoK has four material types: iron ore, leather, animal bone, and ebony. Combine four identical materials to increase rarity. Epic materials can be upgraded to legendary.
There are five rarities: Normal, Advanced, Elite, Epic, and Legendary. Crafting requires 30 identical blueprints. Check the Blacksmith or forge tab to see blueprint sources.
