How do you build a diamond farm in Forge of Empires? Today, we go over just that! From getting wishing wells or fountains of youth, winning Guild Expedition and Guild Battlegrounds diamonds, to even yet another plug of why the Seed Vault is great, here is my tutorial of setting up diamond farms. It will take some time, but free diamonds are a great way to not spend and yet still place in gold leagues, get multiple event buildings, or buy more expansions.

@TedRandomGamingChannel 4 ай бұрын

Wonderful video as always. I just wanted to emphasize the value of GBG in diamond league, which was briefly touched on. I estimate that I generate roughly 1k diamonds per week. Less than half of them come from my one diamond farm, where I have 100 wishing wells and fountains of youth, and where I finish GE4 each week. More than half of them come from my main world, and almost all of those come from GBG fighting. At 45 diamonds per reward that gives diamonds, and when one does several hundreds of fights per day, the diamond rewards can really add up! Of course, I'm not doing it for the diamonds, and all those fights take a fair bit of time. But I'd be doing those fights anyway, and the happy side effect is a lot of diamonds. My rough rule of thumb, therefore, is being active in top-level GBGs is equivalent to about two well-developed diamond farms.

@JustRideTheVibe 4 ай бұрын

My biggest problem with GBG diamond-mining is that you often have to rush siege buildings as well, and that can get very expensive, very quickly. If you play in a high level diamond league, such buildings will need to be rushed often, and the more active a fighter, the more they (should) generally share the load of rushing. It costs 125 diamonds just to rush one command post, and you can easily spend 250+ diamonds in a single day. Often times, even if you get around 500 fights in a day, you can easily break even or even lose diamonds overall. It all depends on how your guild plays and whether you ever help rush buildings, but that's been a minor problem for me anyway.

@TedRandomGamingChannel 4 ай бұрын

@@JustRideTheVibe You make a good point. The GBG diamond pay off is best when either (1) your guild doesn't have to gem buildings (for instance because you dominate the map anyway, or you're cooperating with other guilds to swap sectors), or (2) some one else is paying to gem the buildings! (like a guild leader) Happily, I'm almost always in one of those two situations, but many people aren't so fortunate.

I started a new city when a new Dutch server opened up. I'm almost in Titan now, then I will convert it to a diamond farm. My idea is to produce and sell Titan goods using event buildings, Frontenac, GE and GBG. The fp can go into my Seed Vault. And of course I place wishing wells, 50 in stock now. Speaking of Seed Vault, I noticed a decrease in diamond production on my main. Since the beginning of this year I rarely get 100+ per week. Seed Vault is level 138.

@JustRideTheVibe 4 ай бұрын

I recently got my 3 major diamond farms to all have level 80 Chateaus, and after aging them all up a couple of eras (CE to FE) over the last couple of months, I can definitely attest to the incredible amount of diamonds you can generate that way. Between those three farms, I literally made about 5k diamonds in just ONE day from questing, it was unreal. I'm kicking myself, because it took me years to finally get around to building and then leveling the Chateau, so I really missed the boat until recently. Got the level 80+ SV in a couple of those cities and they're helping nicely too, but the Chateau has produced WAY more diamonds in a very short period of time. The catch is that you have to keep aging up for it to be worthwhile (at least in terms of diamond production). Regardless, it's well worth the FP investment even if you decide to delete it for more well space later. *Btw, I didn't realize you could use FoE Helper to see which wells/fountains are producing diamonds, that's amazing! Thank you for that info, now I may have to think about putting a BG in my farms too. Would be easy to find the room if I decide to just delete my Traz at some point.

Once you start running out of space, just start getting of the worst things in your city. Low level GB, weaker event buildings... I trust you can figure it out :) As for spending diamonds, the best uses are really expansions or events. They give you the best return.

@ywills7890 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the explanation, I had considered a diamond farm, but this has confirmed it isn't for me. The time investment is huge - would have been worth adding a rough time estimate of how many hours a week you'd need to sink to reach lvl 80 Arc and do lvl 4 GE. The video makes that sounds relatively easy, but it's a big hurdle to reach for a secondary city on the side.

@UBERnerd14 4 ай бұрын

It's not that hard with how lucrative events are now in terms of buildings providing daily FP. If you know what you're doing, you could probably be completing GE 4 in a matter of weeks, and have an Arc up within a few months.

@ywills7890 4 ай бұрын

@@UBERnerd14 I think that is the crux of it, you do need to know a lot more to be able to progress that quickly. I'm a returning player after about a 4 year break (191 days in) and am still learning new things all the time, your videos help a lot, but that knowledge gap is still potentially quite large for lots of newer players. Guild selection probably warrants a mention too, hard to get lvl 80 Arc without a good guild, and good guilds typically have requirements for being active. I've never been able to sustain logging in to multiple cities each day (or stay motivated to), but I know we all play the game differently.

@Yertle_Turtle 4 ай бұрын

So if we earn about $160 per year (edit: of diamonds)... for let's say... 80 to160 hours of gameplay to set up. What's your time worth? Do you make $160 in 10 to 4 hours? Then (IMO) spend that money and help the devs instead of wasting time grinding for a pittance of value. I agree with what you're implying -this is silly.

Blue Galaxy at level 27 is according to foe fandom 44% chance of x2. You dont mention (not in this video, I dont know if you do in others), that mughal settlement entirely done 11 times, increases the chance of getting goods x4 from 3% to 25% which is very good, taking in account that you only need to accomplish 10 missions in order to get 5 wishing well shards. I think thats very worth it to get wishing wells faster. One question: How much diamonds per year gives the seed vault at 100? (aproximately)

@UBERnerd14 4 ай бұрын

It's about 400 days of perfect play to break even on completing all Mughal settlements vs just the quests, in terms of fragments completed. You can decide if that's worth it to you :) With 300 aids per day, you can get over 8700 diamonds/year from a level 100 SV. The biggest factor is the number of aids you can do.

If you want a low-maintenance farm, presumably you're going to need somewhere to dump FP. The SV seems like an ideal candidate, since it essentially turns a fraction of those FP into diamonds. I don't see any reason to stop levelling the SV in a true diamond farm.

Stay as long as you need to reseve Arc& ToR lv 80And got all medal spaces in Ironage then go to EMA build CF 120 BG SV to high Level AND DO pvp Arena and collect 100 wells/foy after these (it will take at least 1 year) go straight up to FE and place wells/foys then ... Other wise you loose to mutch dias when placing them too early Aging from FE only if youve got more wells/yof than you can place and wont have any eventbuilding plaeced in your City. in sam until saj you can fight very well gbg so level up your castel Zeus and Aachener
