Rise of Kingdoms Events Tier List: Which Events Deserve Your Resources

Rise of Kingdoms always has something running. Some events are worth planning your whole week around; others are better skipped. This tier list ranks the main recurring event types by value for free and low-spending players.

Tier lists are opinions. Your priorities depend on your alliance, kingdom and goals.

Tier list

Tier	Event	Why
S	Kingdom vs Kingdom	The biggest rewards and the heart of the game – see our KvK guide
S	Mightiest Governor (milestones)	Great rewards for things you’d do anyway – see our guide
A	Ark of Osiris	Strong rewards and teamwork – see our Ark guide
A	Barbarian and fort events	Easy value with action points – see our barbarians guide
A	Lyceum of Wisdom	Free rewards for knowledge – see our Lyceum guide
B	Alliance events	Good value with an active alliance
B	Gathering events	Worth it if you gather anyway
C	Gem-heavy gamble events	Expensive for uncertain rewards
C	Spending-based events	Only worth it if you were going to spend anyway

Why these rankings?

S tier

KvK defines your kingdom’s season, and Mightiest Governor milestones reward saved speed-ups and resources very efficiently.

A tier

Ark of Osiris, barbarian events and the Lyceum give strong rewards for modest effort.

B tier

Alliance and gathering events are good if they match what you’re already doing.

C tier

Events that consume large amounts of gems for random rewards are rarely worth it for free players. See our gem spending guide.

How to use this list

1. Save speed-ups and resources for S-tier events.
2. Join A-tier events whenever they run.
3. Do B-tier events when convenient.
4. Skip C-tier unless you have a specific reason.
