Alright so you have your farms set up and are ready to start selling. There are a few things that are important to remember.
- There are often channels (chat rooms) in any kingdom specifically for selling RSS, shouldn’t be hard to find and often are populated by people who are actually in it to buy and trade RSS not screw you over. They are often moderated and people keep the community clean of scammers.
- If you are trading for gold gifts or rss make sure that things are staying even as you make the transfers and make sure you know if the amount you are trading for is pre/post tax. Silver is another matter since the entire trade is done all at once, same with any paypal sales or transactions try to arrange for half up front/half after. Obviously this isnt necessary with someone you already have a good relationship with.
- Always teleport to your client until it is someone you really trust. When someone comes to you they come to where your farms are, at which point they may decide to just set up shop for a while and take as much as possible without paying. If you are big enough to fight them off then great but often the people you deal with will be 150 million+ power monsters and are happy to hit everything you have a few times and then shield, waiting for opportune times to quick take your RSS. You will probably take enough losses from randoms, no need to deliver yourself to someone who just wants to camp out and take everything they can.
- Go big or go home, generally I would say dont advetise/sell under 100 million, you want to land clients who are going to buy multiple times, that means big spenders and it generally means people who are going to be burning through hundreds of millions of RSS, make yourself someone who can supply a heavy hitter and youll never go short.
5, This is the big one, BE PATIENT! You’ll have to take some time to find prices that work for you and what the general going rate is. Don’t undercut for the sake of moving stuff fast, you’re only hurting yourself in the long run. The best times to sell are during/after big events KvK, coliseum, or epic wonder events are AWESOME for selling since people lose troops by the thousands, so dont worry too much if the RSS seems to be piling up without a buyer. People are going to need it, even food. I had over a billion food saved and suddenly a regular of mine needed it. People always will need RSS so just give it time and dont throw away RSS for super cheap just because you think it wont move. It will, just keep shielded and wait for your opportunity.
Hopefully everything is going well and you guys are developing your farms! Next time I’ll talk about tax free silver transfers, some general pricing tips, and getting the most out of your gold or buying gold packs!

I need to find some sailer
Can you help me with that ?
Sailor Moon?
Can I assume you would now keep Academy with the new Resource Generation available at academy level 11 under the Restorative tab? Surely maxing that in a level 14 sh would overall improve silver production enough to keep it? Not to mention whatever rss you’re hypering.
Adding that buff to Economics, and haven’t really given Crafting a good looksee, it must be a must-be option now, I would think.
And AMAZINGLY helpful guide. Keep up the good work.
This is an interesting conversation, I have a massive farm system in my kingdom (28 lvl 14+ or higher farms). I generate 250-300m resources a day (combined total of all my farms). I have found that real power is in the strength of your farms and total rss inventory. I have routinely done trades of 3b rss each time. I have gotten to the point if a trade is not over 500m+ rss (hard rss) I wouldn’t do that trade. I have done this for paypal money, casino chips and 3 day shields. Even though my farms are lvl 14, I trade rss to keep them shielded at all times. Don’t forget to apply the rss production boosts on your farms. Lvl 21 farms produce far more than lvl 14 however lvl 21 farms are far costlier to manage then lvl 14.
I dont get it, u cant trade with people outside ur alliance..
Correct, to sell resources you have to momentarily join their alliance, or have them join yours. It’s not complicated, people switch alliances all the time for this reason and others.
I create an easy to join alliance so both of us can drop tags and go there for trades. I add the hero bounty just as the march is about to hit. (Not giving anyone a chance to steal it.) Also I port to them and they pay first lol. No pay no trade
Super sad this now says 3of3 I’ve been waiting forever to learn more, my farms are ready to start selling and I’m blind, tax free silver transfers would be nice to know at least :/
Super sorry bro. I haven’t heard from Dan in over a month now. I’ve tried contacting him multiple times:/ If I had more knowledge on the subject I would write more posts, but that was Dan’s thing.
I pretty sure there are no free transfers ever though..
I think you can do tax free silver transfer by using the bounty method
Waiitt what that’s sick. I think i understand, but can you explain it in more detail?!
Yeah this is how its done, send your hero to a mini that has troops and a prison. Then put up a bounty and the person frees the hero for a tax free silver transfer. Just have to be quick and watch out for someone speeding in. If you are shielded and cant send your hero to their city. Camp it next to the mini and get the mini to capture your hero from the camp.
That’s so legit. A fantastic way to trade silver. It doesn’t even seem that risky.
Yeah, unfortunately there’s no way to do it for the other resources, but since silver is the most precious and costly one, it’s still great. It’s not risky at all
The only other problem is, you can’t capture a hero from someone in the same alliance as you. So, if you’re trying to send free silver to an alliance member, you can’t follow that GREAT tactic!
And for some reason, I can’t find it in my heart, to send a non-alliance member, free Silver 🙂
Have them leave your alliance while you attack them, then have them rejoin…
Or have a farm attack them when their troops are rallied. take the hero with the farm. now the farm has the bounty. attack the farm.
Thanks for all these great posts, i check several times a day for when the next one will be, looking forward to it
Fair enough, thanks again
Dan, when porting to clients can I assume that in addition to shedding your Alliance tag; you should ideally do a quick and easy name change too?
Although not foolproof, I’m just thinking about the valid point in not attracting “unwelcome” future guests at your home base…lol
Lastly, what’s the band width your aware of for minimum and maximum charges/cost of RSS being sold through player farms in most Kingdoms?
Cheers again bud.
I don’t do a name change personally, those are so cheap though its not the worst idea. Definitely always join their alliance for transfers though.
Honestly the cost of stuff really really depends on how old your kingdom is, number of people selling, etc etc. There are other things that can effect it as well, if there is a really good gold pack in the shop with lots of RSS costs tend to drop because people buy some and then for a while the market is just flooded with people unloading the extra they have gotten.
Next post will be a more detailed analysis of costs and how to get the most out of things.
Yeah this is a sweet series, nicely done as usual Dan 🙂
Thank you very much 🙂
