Evony Monarch Gear Guide

In Evony, your account is represented by a ruler called a Monarch. There are a couple of useful things that you can do with your Monarch to improve your in-game capabilities. This includes leveling it up to increase the Level Cap of your Generals and equipping it with special items called Gear that can improve your buffs. In this Evony Guide, we take a closer look at Monarch Gear, how to improve, and what buffs they will grant you.

What is Evony Monarch Gear

In Evony, you are able to equip your Monarch with 6 different pieces of Monarch Gear. Each piece will grant you a different buff which will improve your account in some way. Each of the 6 Monarch Gear slots has several different options of gear that can be equipped, however, the options in each slot are unique and cannot be equipped across all Gear slots.

Each piece of Monarch Gear can be leveled up to improve the buff that they grant you. This can become quite significant as you progress. You are also able to switch around your Gear as much as you like depending on the buffs you need for whatever you are doing. For example, equipping Gear that’s related to getting more Ore when you are trying to Gather as much of it as possible.

To access your Gear, select your Monarch icon and then click on the Gear icon in the bottom right of the screen. This will bring up your entire Gear inventory for you to decide which pieces you want to equip.

Different Types of Monarch Gear

As mentioned in the previous section, there are six different slots that your Monarch has for Gear to be equipped, with each slot having several different Gears that can be put there.

How to Get Evony Monarch Gear

There are a few different methods you can use to get Gear in Evony, however which method you use will depend on the type of Gear you want, For example, some pieces of Gear are only available by spending money on packs whilst others can be obtained through different mechanics in the game by using Gems or by taking part in Events such as the World Boss. Below we have outlined each method that you can use.

Grail, Decoration, Crystal, Horn, Crown, and Staff Gear

These Monarch Gears can be considered the most basic Gears that you can obtain. Each of them is easily available through the following game mechanics.

• Black Market – level 3 Gear can be bought for gems.
• Patrol – levels 1 and 3 Gear can be obtained by using the Patrol function.
• World Boss Event – Gear Chests can be won through the individual rewards from this event. When opened they give you a random level 1 Gear.
• Huns Invasion Event – although this event only occurs once a year, typically in March, you can obtain a small amount of level 1 Gear Chests by competing in it.
• Item Store – level 1 Gears can be bought here for 200 Gems each.
• Wheel of Fortune – by spinning the Wheel of Fortune you are able to win level 3 pieces of Gear. Get more Chips by taking part in the Vikings Event and the Hydra Invasion Event.

Premium Gear

All the remaining Gears that cannot be obtained through the methods above are only available through spending money on packs. This does unfortunately mean they are behind a paywall, meaning that players that spend money will have an advantage.

How to Improve Monarch Gear

When you first obtain a piece of Monarch Gear it will start at level 1. At this stage its buffs will be quite low, however, they can all be upgraded further to improve their level and buffs. This is done through a process called Composing where you need 3 pieces of the same Gear, at the same level, to merge them together into a Gear of the same type at the next level up.

Evony Monarch Gear Tips

• Avoid the item store – buying Gear from the item store should be avoided at all costs. It costs 200 Gems for just a level 1 piece which is far from efficient use of your Gems when there are other cheaper methods available.
• Spam the Patrol function – as mentioned in our Evony Beginner Tips, this is a great way to pick up Monarch Gear on the cheap. It costs just 10k Gold to refresh and then just 30 Gems to buy an item if you find a piece of Gear you like. Indeed, you could get a level 3 piece of Gear for just 30 Gems!
• Early Game Gears – in the early game you want to get the levels of your Gear that boost construction speed, research speed, and marching monster speed up as soon as possible. These will really help your progress in the early stages.
• Remember to switch – you should always be switching your Gear depending on what you are doing. If you forget to put your Strength Crown on just before a big construction project you could have just cost yourself several days of waiting!
• Don’t switch too soon – however, there is a flip side to the above and that is to not switch Gear too quickly. For example, when going to Gather, you need to wait for your march to reach the resource spot before you can switch. This is because Gathering buffs from Gear will only take effect once the march has reached its destination. You can change again once it has reached its destination.
• Set combinations – you can set different combinations of Gear that can be quickly switched too. For example, one specifically for Monster Hunting and another specifically for Ranged PvP. Make use of these so you are able to quickly switch between different Gear loadouts.
