WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Elf’s three-chest encounter during a Kingdom run.

The Elf offers a gold gamble during a Kingdom run: choose among three chests for a chance to triple your gold, with a 25% deduction for taking the offer. This is a risk-and-reward stop, not a dependable way to earn a fixed amount. Decide whether to accept based on how much gold you are carrying and whether you are willing to risk the deduction. Any gold that remains with your heir can be put toward Manor upgrades after the run.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Find the Elf encounter while exploring the Kingdom.
  • Carry gold you are willing to put at risk.
  • Be prepared to accept the offer’s stated deduction.
  1. Explore connected rooms and check the map as you search for the Elf’s encounter.
  2. When you find the Elf, read the offer and check the amount of gold at stake.
  3. Decide whether the possible triple payout is worth the stated 25% deduction.
  4. If you accept, choose one of the three chests as prompted.
  5. Collect the result and check your carried gold before leaving the encounter.
  6. Continue the run if your heir can safely reach more rewards.
  7. After the run, use surviving inheritance on Manor upgrades.

Farming tips

  • Treat the offer as a gamble, not a guaranteed multiplier.
  • Consider skipping it when losing part of your current gold would disrupt an upgrade you are saving for.

Repeat, collect and use

The encounter can be considered again when it appears on a later run; each offer resolves once when you make your choice.

Common mistakes

  • Counting on a triple payout before choosing; assess the offer as a risk.
  • Ignoring the deduction when deciding how much gold to stake; check the offer first.
  • Leaving without checking the result; verify your carried gold before continuing.

When to stop or switch

Leave the encounter after resolving the offer, or decline it if the risk is not worthwhile for your current run.
