Achieve Huge Boosts In Training Speed From Certain Relics
The Training Speed Bonuses from Relics make them worthy of not trading into the Bazaar.
When the Bazaar came out in BETA the immediate reaction from a number of people was, “Great, now I can get rid of all my Relic items”.
Relics were created for fighting gear, but have been far surpassed by Core gear. What a very large number of players don’t realize is that certain Relics have a secondary purpose.
Troop Training Speed Bonuses.
For those of us who can’t afford a set of General’s Gear, and many of us can’t, but still want to mass train some troops, what should we do?
There are Relics out there that will give you from 12-40% Troop Training Speed boosts. You can gain yourself an extra 30% troop training time boost for less than 500k silver. The cheapest piece of Generals Gear (General’s Vestment) cost 459m silver and gives you a 30% training time boost. You could craft 918 Dragon Fang Helms (30% boost) for the cost of 1 General’s Vestment!!!
Even when crafted as a Purple item, Relics still give you quite a training time boost. Combine some of these with the 50% Training Queue Boosts that MZ has been handing out lately and you can build a large army fast.
Huge power players all have their full set of Generals Gear, but for those of us who don’t, Relics can help us cut down our training time a lot.
The two downsides to Relics is that they are hard to discover, and they are on a timer so after they are used up, they are gone.
If you are an experienced veteran player, you most likely have a buildup of relic materials in your inventory from the past year or 2 of playing Game of War. So, you should be able to craft a number of Relic items.
When the Bazaar opens, do not rush to get rid of all your Relics, craft what you can into useful items then get rid of those that you do not need any longer.
Below is a list of some of the better Relics. I only looked at items that provide a 20%+ boost when crafted as gold, there are a few items that provide a 10-19% boost that aren’t listed below. The stats don’t lie, don’t rush to get rid of all your Relic materials when the Bazaar finally lands in game.

Best relic training gear IMO is the Accesory Typhoon Head pendant. Uses common materials jewerly and string in addition to rare materials dragon scales and dragon tears. The latter two should never be combined. Here is why; i can construct a lvl 2 (20% train boost) 63 more times than construction a lvl 6 (40% train boost). Because its an accesory you can equip more than one. A high lvl 4 string and jewelry with low lvl 1 dragon tears and lvl 2 dragon scales. Like gambling with the 20%purple/80%gold, I’m doing it on the low end 10% gray/ 40% white/ 30% green and 20% blue. So I have 50% chance of getting a higher lvl than the a lvl 2. 90% I’m getting the lvl 2 that I will using and only 10% of the time it will come out a lvl 1.
Traning boost per level
1 8%
2 20%
3 24%
4 28%
5 32%
6 40%
Check it out the use of 2 lower level 2+ is equal to or better than trying to craft higher typhoon head pendants.
Plus dragon tears where droping from war builder dungeon Bone dragon and scales from the research/ red dragon.
There is also the “Tusk Helm” training core, used with the pieces Mesh square, metal wire, fiber cushion, round beads, fine powder, and gold dust will give you around 65% training speed. Only lasts around 25-30 minutes so make good use of it.
Crafting this right now. Thanks
Since you mention it, an update as to how the Bazaar is working would be appreciated.
Yeah treasure digs are best for find relics for training..i go digging for training relics before i train if i cant craft the relic equipment i need
Stop the madness…I used 20 digs in a row…not a single training item. Jip city mz. They know what we want and screw up drop rates. Maybe back in the day u could get the gear from sets. But I dug about a month ago and all I did was waste speeds.
one of the best places to find training relics is in treasure digs
i didn’t know that! thanks for commenting!
What treasure maps give the best training relics?
