Gathering huge amounts of resources is key to progressing in Evony. Luckily, there are some great Generals in Evony to help you do this. Keep reading below for a list of all the Best Evony Gathering Generals.
For more details on gathering, check out our Evony Gathering Guide.
What makes a good Evony Gathering General
Having great Evony Generals is vital to building up your resource stocks. It is, therefore, necessary to understand what makes a good Evony Gathering General.
Indeed, you want Evony Generals that possess skills that grant a resource bonus from gathering and/or gathering speed buff. In addition, a high politics stat also increases gathering speed.

In an ideal world, it is best to have a Queen Jindeok for each of your free march slots. She has a great politics stat and also has the best gathering bonus buff in the game.
However, this is not always possible in the early stages. At this point, you will have to make do with Purple Historic Generals such as Princess Lucy and Constance I. You can even cultivate their politics a little to improve their gathering speed.

Evony Gathering Tips

- Aim to have 5 Queen Jindeoks and only use the others in this list whilst you try to get more Queen Jindeoks.
- Of these generals, only develop Queen Jindeok. Do not waste gems or Skill Books on the others.
- Add Gathering Skill Books to your Queen Jindeoks to increase their gathering speed.
- Cultivate your Queen Jindeok’s politics stat to +500 for faster gathering speed.
- Add points to “Gathering Boost” in your talent tree for an additional +20% resources gathered bonus.
- Give your Gathering Generals equipment which features gathering speed boosts.
- Adjust your Monarch Gear to ensure you have the correct gathering speed boost on when going to a new resource spot. This can be changed again once the general has arrived at the gathering spot.
