If you’ve been around Evony for a while, you already know the real game isn’t just about upgrading your keep or slapping down bosses but about timing.
Events run the show here. Whether it’s Resource Consumption, Speed-Up Burn, or special boss drops, what you do (and when you do it) makes a huge difference.
You’ve probably seen it too: some players seem to leap ahead out of nowhere. It’s not magic. They’re just really good at lining up their upgrades, spending, and top-ups with active events.
And if you’re spending gems (even just occasionally), this becomes even more important.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to prepare for big events in Evony, when it actually makes sense to use gems or speed-ups, and how to get the most value out of what you’re already doing, especially if you’re topping up.
Let’s talk smart strategy, not just brute force.
Evony throws a ton of events your way, but let’s be honest, not all of them are worth spending your gems.
Some just hand out small stuff like basic speed-ups or a handful of resources. Fine if you’re active anyway, but don’t waste your gems trying to chase low-tier milestones.
If you’re spending (even just a bit), you want your gems doing real work.
That means targeting the events that actually move your account forward, the ones that give back in the form of high-tier speed-ups, valuable materials, stamina, and growth multipliers.
In Evony, those top-value events usually fall into three buckets:
These are the events smart spenders prioritize because the return on investment is real. They fuel your long-term progress, power spikes, and even general development when timed right.
So, you’ve got the gems, and you’ve got your speed-ups. Now, before you blow them on random upgrades or impulse spins, here’s the deal: in Evony, timing is everything.
Spend at the wrong moment and you’ll miss out on rewards that could’ve taken your progress way further, all for the same cost.
Here’s how smart players in Evony make every gem actually count:
Evony loves throwing events at you… but only a few are really worth spending big on.
The best ones, like Resource Consumption and Speed-Up Consumption, reward you for hitting milestone tiers, not for dabbling.
So instead of using a few speed-ups here and there, hold off and wait until you can burn through enough to hit a full reward tier.
That’s when you start getting the good stuff: dozens (sometimes hundreds) of extra speed-ups, a mountain of stamina, and rare materials and refine stones.
Here’s something experienced players do that most don’t talk about: they don’t just play the events, they line them up back-to-back for double value.
Let’s say you’ve got resources saved up for a big upgrade spree. Instead of spending them right away, you wait until the Resource Consumption Event starts.
That’s when you unload: building upgrades, troop training, tech research, all of it. You rack up rewards for doing what you were going to do anyway.
Then right after, Evony usually follows up with a Speed-Up Consumption Event. This is when you use your speed-ups to finish all those upgrades and queues, and yep, you get rewarded again.
You’re not grinding harder. You’re just timing things better. Same moves, double the rewards.
That’s how top players stay ahead without burning through everything all the time — they loop their progress between events and make each push count twice.
Evony gives you dozens of places to use gems, but only a few that truly matter long-term. If you're preparing for events:
And unless there’s an event tied to it, skip the Black Market splurges. Most of those deals sound tempting but give you less value than a solid refine or a good tavern roll.
If you've made it this far, you already understand how much timing matters in Evony, and if you’re spending gems, it makes even more sense to get the best bang for your buck.
