Evony The King’s Return VIP Guide: Levels and VIP Time

Your VIP level and your VIP buffs are two separate things. VIP points set your permanent level, but the level does nothing unless VIP time is active. If VIP time ends, you keep the level and lose every VIP buff.

That makes VIP time a running cost, not a one-time purchase. Before chasing the next level, decide whether you can keep the benefits active often enough to make that level useful.

Does my VIP level give me buffs by itself?

No. Your total accumulated VIP points set your VIP level. Those points never decay, so your level never drops. You can stop earning points and return later with the same level.

The buffs work differently. They apply only while VIP time is running. A high-level account with no active VIP time receives no VIP buffs at all. It gets no active benefit from its construction speed, research speed, march size, march slots, resource production or troop stat bonuses until VIP time starts again.

This distinction changes how you should judge progress. Reaching a milestone adds permanent access to its benefits, but it does not keep those benefits switched on. Your real VIP position has two parts: the level you have earned and the VIP time you can afford to run.

Why is VIP time a running cost?

VIP time costs gems. The Black Market sells 30 days for 3,000 gems, while the in-game store sells the same 30 days for 4,000 gems. The Black Market is the better buy because it saves 1,000 gems for the same amount of active time.

A VIP level is permanent, but that gem bill is not. When the 30 days end, the buffs stop. Buying more VIP points does not replace the need for active time, and earning points through free play does not run VIP time for you.

Treat the two costs separately. VIP points move the account toward higher milestones. Gems keep the earned benefits active. An account can make progress on the first and still get no current value because it has ignored the second.

Which VIP level should I aim for next?

Pick the next milestone that changes how you play. Do not chase a level only because the number is higher. The confirmed milestones below give you a short target list without relying on disputed level counts or point tables.

VIP 5 is the first structural unlock because it adds an extra march slot while VIP time is active. If you are below it, that is the clearest first target.

VIP 8 adds bonus construction speed. VIP 10 adds a research speed boost and is the sensible target for a newer account. It gives that account a clear stopping point before the later milestones demand a larger push.

VIP 13 is more specialized. It adds a further march preset slot and unlocks the Black Market repurchase option. Aim for it when those two features matter enough to justify continuing beyond VIP 10.

VIP 15 is the point where PvP combat buffs begin. These cover troop attack, troop defence and troop HP, and they scale as the VIP level rises. If PvP is your reason for chasing VIP, this is the key milestone.

Be realistic about the levels after that. Above roughly VIP 17, point thresholds reach into the millions. Those levels belong to heavy-spending paths, not ordinary play. Free progress still counts, but it does not make those thresholds small.

How can I earn VIP points?

Paid progress comes from packs, bundles and dedicated VIP packs. All gem purchases give VIP points, so spending on gems also moves the account’s permanent VIP total.

Free progress comes from a shorter list:

• Daily login streaks, with the amount scaling as the streak continues.
• Server gifts.
• The Alliance Shop trade of 15,000 Alliance Points for 100 VIP points.

These routes let a free player raise the account’s VIP level slowly. They do not supply active VIP time by themselves. That means a free account can reach a useful milestone and still need gems before any of its buffs apply.

Keep the daily login streak going if VIP progress matters to you, and compare the Alliance Shop trade with your own priorities before spending Alliance Points. The trade is clear, but the pace remains slow next to paid routes.

How should I budget gems for VIP?

Start with active time, because a level without it gives you nothing. When buying 30 days, use the Black Market price of 3,000 gems instead of paying 4,000 gems through the in-game store. The difference matters each time you renew.

Then decide whether more VIP points deserve part of your spending. If the next milestone gives you a benefit you want, keep moving toward it. If it does not, holding your current level and funding active time may give you more value than chasing a number.

The same split helps when you manage routine account work. A tool for farming Evony accounts can farm resources and run daily tasks, which helps fund the gems you choose to spend. It does not raise your VIP level or buy VIP time.

You can also check current Evony gift codes as part of your wider account routine. Keep that separate from the confirmed VIP-point routes when planning your next level.

Is VIP worth chasing on my account?

VIP is worth chasing when the next confirmed milestone solves a need and you can keep VIP time active when that benefit matters. For a newer account, VIP 10 is the sensible target because it includes the earlier extra march slot and construction milestone, then adds a research speed boost.

For a more developed account, the choice depends on focus. VIP 13 offers the further march preset slot and Black Market repurchase option. VIP 15 starts the PvP troop stat buffs. Those are different reasons to spend, so choose the milestone that matches your account instead of treating every higher level as urgent.

The poor-value case is simple: pushing the level higher while leaving VIP time inactive. The points remain, so they are not lost, but none of the buffs run. If gems are tight, plan the cost of active time before spending more to reach another milestone.

FAQ

Does my VIP level expire?

No. VIP points never decay, and your VIP level never drops. Only the active VIP time expires.

Do I keep my buffs when VIP time ends?

No. You keep the permanent level, but every VIP buff stops until VIP time becomes active again.

What is the best target for a newer account?

VIP 10 is the sensible target. It adds a research speed boost after the VIP 5 extra march slot and the VIP 8 construction speed milestone.

What is the cheapest confirmed 30-day VIP option?

The Black Market sells 30 days for 3,000 gems. The in-game store charges 4,000 gems, so the Black Market is the better buy.
