| Reincarnation in the Slow Lane | |

| There's no shortage of guides for speed reincarnation, but what | |
| about a guide for those of us who take a slower approach to | |
| life, death, rebirth, playing a clever chess game with the Grim | |
| Reaper...? | |
| I'm not done with Tyrell yet but probably will be in the next | |
| couple of weeks. Speed isn't a concern as I like to play out the | |
| full story line for each fealty. That said, I'd rather not be | |
| stuck for too long waiting on my keep buildings or on those | |
| quests that are the same for every house. What should I be doing | |
| now to prepare for my next incarnation? Also, which fealty | |
| should I choose next, bearing in mind that I may be with it for | |
| the next several AvA phases? Finally, out of curiosity, is | |
| anyone else taking the scenic route through their multiple | |
| lifetimes? | |

| Aelfred, players taking the slower and scenic path in this game | |
| can still be formidable players in the future. I played this | |
| game alternating slow and fast pace and I enjoyed both play | |
| styles and experience. | |
| As a competitive gamer who always want to power my gaming | |
| experience, I always set myself up for a plausible competitive | |
| future while enjoying a slow pace (the stories, examining the | |
| crafting trees, talking and chatting etc). | |
| In order to be competitive (especially as an AvA participant) | |
| and be on almost equal footing with players who serial | |
| reincarnate, slower pace players need to do the following (my | |
| personal opinions at this point of the game, ofcourse): | |
| 1. Craft the great final tier items, armors, companions and make | |
| the peerless versions permanent | |
| 2. Collect the great seals (up to your preferences) for your | |
| character and SS through crafting! | |
| 3. Unlock as many of the quest achievements (e.g. Use 500 boons) | |
| as possible as they are automatically unlocked when you | |
| reincarnate. | |
| 4. All the while have a constant bread and mead chain of | |
| production (this stockpile could surprise you as the last | |
| reported speed reincarnator - who was a high level character | |
| with lots of bread and mead - blitz through 7 incarnations in a | |
| day!) | |
| 5. Find the right alliance and stick through thick and thin with | |
| this group of players who simply make your day whenever you log | |
| into the game. Otherwise, you would hardly find yourself playing | |
| this game after a while. | |

| I am another player that prefers the slow, scenic route. I also | |
| prefer the "balanced" approach, i.e. I don't specialize in any | |
| particular attack type. Plus, I am cheap & don't want to spend | |
| a ton of money. (Or, hear a lot of nagging from the wife.) | |
| This is my strategy. YMMV. | |
| Silver. That will be the limiting factor for a while. I go | |
| full bore in getting the Treasury & Village Center up to full | |
| capacity. After that, I slow down on opening & upgrading | |
| buildings. I only open & upgrade the ones I need. | |
| SS - I don't have a lot of permenant SS (4 at the moment) so | |
| this becomes the second priority. I try to acquire as many SS | |
| as CPs plus one or two more for quests & challenges since they | |
| don't require CP. At the very beginning, I may buy a one or two | |
| lower level SS; but, once I get my treasury up to speed, I wait | |
| for the peerless ones to show up. | |
| Buildings - The Treasury & Village Centers are the first | |
| priority. The fealty houses when I reach level 13 since they | |
| are another means of getting resources. Since I am cheap, I | |
| prefer crafting legendary items & making them permant with | |
| seals. I make a list of items I want to craft that | |
| reincarnation cycle and only open those buildings & upgrade them | |
| to the levels I need to craft the items I want. | |
| Adventures - These are another means of getting silver & | |
| crafting resources. Plus, the higher levels give some decent | |
| equipment for equiping your SS. I think the gold spent to | |
| create parties, & picking the "best" attack are well spent since | |
| they maximize returns on adventures. Initially, I send the | |
| party out on the highest adventure I can. After awhile, I pick | |
| the adventures that will give me the uncommon items I need to | |
| craft the items I want. | |

| Aelfred, I agree with a lot of the suggestions Ailver gave and I | |
| too like to experience each fealty. I am only on my third | |
| reincarnation as Martell (just yesterday in fact). I joined the | |
| alliance as a Tully and stayed with it throughout the | |
| competitive phase because of the specialty in barter. I also | |
| like to change me style with different fealties focusing on | |
| battle as a stark and trade as a Tully. | |
| I have about 8 permanent SS and I add one or two with each | |
| reincarnation. I also like to craft the peerless items to take | |
| with me into the next life. At first I thought I would just run | |
| through all the fealties just to unlock the buildings but I've | |
| slowed my pace as well. So while that is still a goal, now I | |
| want to contribute to AvA, collect peerless items and seals, | |
| etc. | |
| Another thing you could consider is achievements to gain more | |
| power or titles. I look through those and try to achieve | |
| different ones with each different reincarnation. | |

| Hey Aelfred, | |
| Until recently, I did'nt have a reincarnation lane never mind a | |
| slow one but I find myself with a yearning for the moniker | |
| Stormborn and a trip through House Targaryen. In the pursuit of | |
| power, Lannister to Targaryen seems natural. I would finish the | |
| game in this house but still not sure if I will do it. As for | |
| the more physical path of running through all the buildings and | |
| fealties, in the pursuit of power, nope it still does'nt | |
| interest me. | |

| A couple of other thoughts: | |
| PvP: I try to accomplish two things. First is to get the | |
| Obsiden dagger. The other is to get spoils to increase | |
| equipment & SS stats. While not necessary, I also like to pick | |
| up the dagger when I get to Vol. I, Ch 10. Starting at Ch. 5, I | |
| try to win at least 80 PvP each chapter with most of my SS. I | |
| look for inactive players on the "Random" section or in my | |
| Friend list. Those are the players with a "?" for their banner. | |
| I use whatever attack my SS is the best at. | |
| Boss Challenges: I try to finish those by myself since | |
| increases in your level are correlated with the number of | |
| attacks in challenges you do. I only send help requests if I am | |
| down to 6 - 8 hours left in the challenge. | |
| Also help anyone who sends a Boss Challange request and enter | |
| every AvA you can for the same reason as above. | |

| Thanks for all the replies! Once I've followed the light at the | |
| end of the long tunnel I'll post back here with my thoughts from | |
| the Other Side. | |
