Grinding Prestige in Evony: The King’s Return isn’t just about server bragging rights. It’s your ticket to climbing the server ranks, unlocking better subordinate cities, and flexing your long-term power.
But it’s easy to get stuck doing the wrong things for tiny gains (looking at you, event bosses…).
So if you’re trying to raise your Prestige faster without wasting stamina, gems, or your sanity, here are four real ways players are still doing in 2025 (backed by data, not assumptions).
Let’s level up your rank.
In Evony, Prestige isn’t just another resource, it’s your ticket to ranking up.
The more Prestige you earn, the higher your rank. And with higher rank comes better buffs, more subordinate city slots, and bigger bragging rights (let’s be honest, that part matters too).
If you’re aiming for Archduke or higher, you’ll need hundreds of thousands (even millions) of Prestige. That’s why every bit of it counts.
Here are some proven methods to build your prestige efficiently, whether you’re a daily grinder, a PvE boss slayer, or someone just trying to maximize their offerings.
Let’s get into it...
Let’s start with the elephant in the room: boss hunting.
While many players assume Shrine offerings are the best source of Prestige, experienced players know better. Boss kills, especially high-level ones like B9 and above, give you hundreds of Prestige each, and those rewards add up fast.
For example, just 100 B9 kills can net you 30,000 Prestige. Compare that to spending over 33,000 gems on Shrine offerings for the same result… and it’s clear which method gives you more value.
Yes, it costs stamina and takes time to find targets. But you also earn general XP, monarch XP, alliance points, and drops… all while stacking Prestige with every hit.
If you’re in a strong alliance or have fast rally cycles, this method alone can carry your rank.
The Shrine lets you gain Prestige instantly through offerings using Tributes or Gems.
The more you offer in a day, the more Prestige you earn, capping at 600 Prestige per offer after 15 daily offerings. From there, every additional offering still gives 600, but the gem cost spikes.
Here’s the reality: offering is fast, but not cheap.
It’s great when you need a Prestige boost without waiting, but unless you’re loaded with tributes or gems, it’s hard to sustain.
That’s why many players only use Shrine offerings as a supplement, and not their core strategy. They save up and do “bulk offering” sessions when they can afford it, squeezing the most Prestige per day.
You don’t need to rally to earn Prestige. Common Monsters on the world map, especially those Level 31 and up, are a surprisingly effective way to grind Prestige, especially when stamina is tight.
Here’s the breakdown:
It may not sound like much, but they only cost 6 stamina to kill. That means you can farm way more of them in the same time it takes to hit one or two bosses, and you don’t need anyone else to rally with.
This is especially handy during off-hours or events when bosses are scarce.
Want the real secret? It’s all about the combo.
Relying only on offerings drains your gems. Relying only on boss hunting burns out your stamina. And commons alone won’t take you to Archduke.
Top players mix all three methods to keep their Prestige gains steady without burning out:
If you’re consistent, your Prestige climbs, and fast.
Prestige isn’t hard, but it can get expensive. Shrine sessions. Monarch talents. Culture switches. They all cost gems. But that doesn’t mean you need to overspend.
With Packsify, you can top up your gems for up to 35% less. That means more Prestige without draining your budget.
