This RoK speedup calculator tells you exactly how many of each speedup to use on a Rise of Kingdoms timer, so it finishes with the least time thrown away. Type the time left and the speedups in your bag, pick a mode, and press Work it out. It also works for Kingshot, Whiteout Survival and Call of Dragons, since it only needs the timer and the length printed on each item.
Add one row per speedup size: its length, how many you hold, and whether it matches this queue or is a general (universal) speedup. The calculator checks every possible mix of those items and lists how many of each to use. Pick Save general speedups if you want to keep your universal speedups for another queue.
Speedup Calculator
Type the time left on one timer and the speedups you hold. Get the exact number of each to use.
Your plan shows here. The rows above are an example; change them to what your bag shows.
How do you use the speedup calculator?
Read the time left after alliance help lands, type it in, add your speedups and press Work it out. The four steps below take under a minute.
- Start the timer and wait for help. Start the upgrade, research, training or healing first. If your alliance helps with it, wait for the helps to land, then read the time left. Help comes off the timer, so the time before help is too big.
- Type the time left. Enter it in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- Add your speedups. Add one row per speedup you hold: the length printed on the item, how many you have, and whether it matches this queue or is a general speedup that works on any queue.
- Pick a mode and press Work it out. Use the items the table lists, then check the timer in the game before the last tap.
Which mode should you pick?
Pick Least time wasted for most timers. Pick Save general speedups when your universal speedups are scarce, and Never go past the timer when you would rather wait than lose a single minute.
| Mode | What it does | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Least time wasted | Finishes the timer now and throws away as little time as possible. When two mixes waste the same time, it picks the one with fewer general minutes, then the one with fewer items. | You want the timer done now at the lowest cost. |
| Save general speedups | Finishes the timer now with as few general minutes as possible. It spends matching speedups first, even when that throws away a little more time. | You keep general speedups for queues that have no matching items left. |
| Never go past the timer | Only uses items that fit inside the time left, so nothing is thrown away. The rest of the timer keeps running. | You can finish the rest later with help or a smaller item. |
How do Rise of Kingdoms speedups fit the calculator?
Rise of Kingdoms has universal speedups, which work on any queue, and speedups tied to one queue such as building, research or training. Set universal speedups to General (any queue) and the rest to Matches this queue.
Only add the matching speedups for the timer you are working out. Building speedups do nothing on a research timer, so leave them out when you plan research. The calculator then shows how much universal time the timer needs.
Speedups are easier to plan when the account keeps gathering and building while you are away. The Rise of Kingdoms bot runs those tasks on your Windows PC or on our servers. Botting breaks most games’ terms of service and no bot can promise no ban, so read our bot safety guide first.
What does the calculator not know?
It knows only what you type. It holds no game data, so patches and buffs never make it out of date.
- It does not look up building, research or troop times. You type the timer you see, so the answer stays right after patches and buffs.
- It counts any time an item removes past the end of the timer as lost. Check the speedup screen before the last tap.
- It checks every possible mix of the items you typed, so the answer is the best one for the mode you picked, not a rule of thumb.
- Nothing you type is saved, and the tool is hidden from our session recordings. Refresh the page and it starts again.
RoK Speedup Calculator FAQ
Does the speedup calculator work for Kingshot and Whiteout Survival?
Yes. Type the timer and the length printed on each speedup, the same as for Rise of Kingdoms. The calculator holds no game data, so it does not need a game setting.
Can I use it for Call of Dragons?
Yes, as long as each speedup removes the fixed time printed on it. Enter the Call of Dragons timer and your items the same way.
Should I use speedups before or after alliance help?
After. Help comes off the timer, so wait for the helps to land, then type the time that is left. Typing the time before help makes the calculator spend more speedups than you need.
Why does it say there are too many combinations?
Item lengths with odd seconds, or a very long timer, can give more mixes than a browser can check. Type item lengths in whole minutes, or split the timer into two parts.
Does it work out how many days of speedups I have?
Not as a total. After each plan it shows how many items you used and how much general speedup time went into the timer.
