The Offer
- Swagbucks is offering 10,000 Swagbucks (worth $100) when you play Evony: The King’s Return and upgrade a general’s star to level 5
Our Verdict
Offer credits when reaching level 4 despite it saying needing level 5. There is a guide on reddit for this. If you don’t see the offer wait until 10PM PDT/1AM EDT when the offer resets. Should be able to do this offer relatively easily if you’re happy to spend $20 and waste an hour or two. Personally I just pass on these deals, but others like doing them.
Hat tip to r/swagbucks
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
SB Live has their offers doubled and the total amount is 19188 SB for Evony. No idea for hard it is to get to keep level 30 but there are intermediate goals
Mine is 21,780. Crazy.
After about 15-20 min or so of following the tutorial, playing some mini-games blah blah, you will get offered the 2500 gem package for $9.99. Buy it and you will get the 1620 SB bonus after a few minutes. At the very minimum the game is a $6.21 MM. The package gives you not only 2500 gems but a ton of construction speed ups as well as a BUNCH of refills for your resources (lumber, stone, food). Using all these refills and the speed-ups, you can get to level 10 like…immediately. Its not immediate immediate. You have to jump from building to building, doing all the necessary construction and refilling your resources. It is annoying. But it is easy…520 SB. So right there you get to 2140 total.
I’m going to see if I can get to Level 21 with this package (it seems doable). I’ve read that getting to Level 30 takes like a year without any spending.
Ya that’s what I’ve been doing.
Is now 5,500sb
I confirm getting the bonus just seconds after reaching 4 star general.
It took me about 6 hours to reach it, spread across 5 days. But I played that also to enjoy it, otherwise it should be possible to squeeze it within 3 hours. However, I don’t think I will continue to play as I don’t have time for it and it seems to be pretty much pay to play game (extreme waiting times without paying). But it was nicely spent 6 hours for a nice profit.
Few recommendations:
– you need to spend 50.000 gems within the first 7 days to get the free Consuming Event package with 500 medals – otherwise it would be challenging to gain them
– it doesn’t matter if you buy city development pack or the $9.99 package from the daily Shopping deals – it is important to buy packages, which gives you a total of 5000 core diamonds as that would open the free First Purchase package with a lot of Monarch and General XP
– you need to upgrade the white general (with white dot under the figure or white frame around the picture), otherwise, it would cost you way more medals to upgrade
Guide is deleted. Anybody have a copy?
Not sure why they deleted it. Here is the original guide that this newer guide was a clarification of: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwagBucks/comments/pvku6n/is_this_evony_offer_basically_the_same_as_the_old/hee8uz7/
I played for about 10 minutes this morning and decided to quit, the mechanics and menus are all over the place and I didn’t feel like figuring it out. Thanks though.
That is the guide I used. Took me about 3 hours (as I was going off on tangents such as doing the treasure puzzle things), but I got the Swagbucks shortly after I got the 4-star general.
I figured I could provide some clarity.
Click the first purchase icon from the main screen bottom left to get the x2 multiplier.
If you miss the x2 multiplier you’ll have just enough to get everything. You’ll have more than enough with the x2.
Redeem all your resources in your items menu, except gold
Build and upgrade everything the keep needs. After you buy the city pack you’ll have plenty of speedup so go nuts, you won’t need them after.
The white General is any general that has a white dot in the recruitment screen. Wasn’t an obvious to me that any general would work. I was presented with the general named Green at the start.
Buy the medals, monarch exp, and general exp, at the same time. Only need 6 medals so keep count but feel free to buy 7.
Monarch exp is green text on the icon of EXP, buy all
General exp is yellow text on the icon of EXP, buy only if it costs resources, not gems.
Medals cost 1600 gems for me.
You’ll have around 90k gems when you start buying exp if you buy both city packs and no x2.
Once you’ve leveled up the general to 18 then redeem all gold in items. Then enhance to lvl 4 star.
I started at midnight on 10/24 to download the game. Played off and on all day, really cranked through it in 2 hours the night of 10/25.
Finished for p2 in about 1.5 hours after mine credited.
Credited instantly for me
P2 is at 4 star general but not credited yet
Are you able to do a P2 on the same SB account or do you have a separate SB account?
Took me more like 3hrs to complete following the guide. $80 for 3hrs is fine by me. One additions I’d make to the guide on reddit is to take care during the Black Market phase to go back and forth between leveling up your King/General while you’re buying. I ending up buying way more General XP than I needed and ran out of gems for the King XP. Had to end up completing some of the quests to avoid having to buy more gems (I was only short about 100).
SB Credit posted immediately upon leveling up my general to 4stars.
Reddit guide suggest to buy city development pack twice.. I bought the pack once, but dont see the option to buy again.. any idea on how to buy it again?
Sorry I don’t recall where I found it, but just keep clicking around. Or you can buy “the Most competitive package” too.
It was offered to me at around level 10 and then again at around level 12, about an hour later.
I missed the second one so I plan to buy the $9.99 package from the daily Shopping deals (they change every 8 hours so you need to wait for it), which also brings you 2500 core diamonds (which helps you to get free First purchase package) and 100* 2000XP.
For some reason I don’t have market and black market. Do I need to update something specific other than the keep?
You need to build it on your own. Select an empty slot, and pick Market. Level it up to level 13 (black market unlocks in Market at level 11).
Thank you!!
took 3 hours and a bit of frustration for a $75 MM for me. I think people who do it in 1.5 hours are not typical. You’re expected to be familiar with gaming in general in order to know where to find the things mentioned in the guide.

SB posted immediately after. Not the best game and promo imo.
