How do I get started with Will of Steel?​

To get started with Will of Steel, you can follow our official Getting Started Guide.

Do servers play against servers, or is it individual vs individual?​

Will of Steel is a global game, meaning your progress is saved across any server you play the bot in. You can play against anyone, regardless of the server they are in.

We encourage users to join Alliances to work together with other players. We also recommend users to join our official server, as it is the best way to get help and support from our community.

Does attacking other players & NPCs void the Peace Keeper Bird?​

Yes and No, Attacking other players does void the Peace Keeper Bird, but attacking NPCs does not. After you have attacked a player, you will have to buy the Peace Keeper Bird back to use it again.

How do Towers work?​

Each server has 3 towers, which each have a cooldown. These cooldowns are for each guild, not each player

1. Ice Tower​

   Ice Tower is the most common and easy to get tower. It drops a loot of 50 rubies and 40,000 gold. It has a cooldown of 2 hours and does 200 damage to your army.

2. Sand Tower​

   Sand Tower is the second tower and gives more loot. It drops a total of 150 rubies and 65,000 gold. It has a cooldown of 3 hours and does 300 damage to your army.

3. Fire Tower​

   Fire Tower is the strongest and rarest tower. It drops a loot of 270 rubies and 125,000 gold. It has a cooldown of 4 hours and a half and does 450 damage to your army.

This is the BEST way to get rubies in the game.

What are Prestige Points?​

Before you prestige, you require a certain amount of Points (different for each prestige level) to prestige. These points are obtainable through various parts of the game. Prestige Points acts as a system to determine how much you have progressed in the game.

Event Skins​

Event Skins are shown in /treasure and are a way of getting permanent Prestige points. The older the skin, the more points it gives.

Event Skins are rotational items, meaning every month/season they will be replaced with new skins. You can get them by participating in the event.

You can view the current Event Skins by running /event shop and you can purchase Event Skins by running /event buy <skin>.

Market System​

The Market System is a way to trade items with other players. It is quite a complex system, but here is a brief overview:

All of the Items in the game have an Item ID, which is very similar to their name. For example, "Bakery Token" has the Item ID BAKERY_TOKEN. You will require this Item ID while using the Market.

After you run /market, you will be provided with four options:

• Buy Instantly: You will instantly buy the items from any sell offers.
• Sell Instantly: You will instantly sell the items to any buy orders.
• Create Buy Order: You can create a buy order for the amount of item you need incase you can't instantly buy.
• Create Sell Offer: You can create a sell offer for the amount of item you want to sell.

Outposts​

Outposts are a way to get resources without having to attack other players or NPCs. They are a great way to get resources quickly and easily.

There are only 15 outposts available globally, and each player can have 3.

You can:

• Claim an outpost using the /capture command
• Transfer Food & Troops between your Outpost and Castle using /transfer
• Switch to your Outpost or Castle using the /switch command (commands such as /treasure will now provide information about your Outpost, not your castle)

Food Production works the same in Outposts as in your Castles, any troops that are defending your Outposts from attackers require Food, which can be either transferred from your Castle or produced inside of the Outpost itself.

You can transfer food between the Outpost and Castle using the /transfer command.

Tokens​

You automatically gain Tokens (and Iron Frames) when you attack NPCs. These tokens are able to be forged into a Frame, which can then be applied for benefits.

• Bakery Frame: Requires 200 Iron Frames and 20 Bakery Tokens. Gives you a +8% boost in food production
• Farmhouse Frame: Requires 200 Iron Frames + 20 Farmhouse Tokens. Increases in base food production by 8,000
• Storehouse Frame: Requires 200 Iron Frames + 20 Storehouse Tokens. Increases food storage by +80,000
• Morale Frame: Requires 450 Iron Frames + 30 Morale Tokens. Increases attack power by +30%
• Healing Frame: Requires 500 Iron Frames + 50 Healing Tokens. Increases defence power by +45%
• Lucky Charm Frame: Requires 1000 Iron Frames + 1 Lucky Charm Token. NPCs now drop 50-99 .
• Loot Frame: Requires 100 Iron Frames + 25 Loot Tokens. Increases loot by +10%

You can forge these tokens into a frame by running /forge and applying the frame by running /apply. Each Frame requires a different amount of time to be forged. This is visible in the Forge menu.

You can trade these Items/Frames/Tokens in our Market System.
