Kingdoms of Camelot Tutorial - Divine Inspiration
Kingdoms of Camelot Guide - Divine Inspiration
Kingdoms of Camelot is a social networking game played through Facebook. It is a real time strategy (RTS) game played with many other users. Join up with them in alliances.
If you have never tried this free online game, don't worry. The application developers did an outstanding job by developing quests for new players to learn this fun tactics game. The game will literally walk you through each and every step to help learn the game mechanics.
As the game progresses, you will improve your buildings to level 9, the highest level possible without the Divine Inspiration. When you come across the ultra-rare item, Divine Inspiration, you will want to use it thoughtfully. Enhancing some buildings to level 10 will give you a lot more options than others. Depending on your style of play, you will want to think through this carefully.
Why do you need Divine Inspiration?
Every building in Kingdoms of Camelot requires Divine Inspiration as one of the components required to advance the building to its maximum, Level 10. Look at the Level 9 cottage above and see in the "Required" column the number 1 next to the words Divine Inspiration. When the resource is missing, it will show up as red
Buy one in the Shop
Look at the picture above. It is a snapshot of the Shop in Kingdoms of Camelot. To get to the Shop, you should click on "My Items" and then the button in the upper right hand side that says "Get More Items."
The Shop window opens up. On the "General" tab, you will see several items, but the elusive Divine Inspiration is not among them.
Look underneath the word "Court" in the upper right hand corner. You will be on "Page 1 of 2." Click the word "Next" to get to "Page 2 of 2."
On this page you will see the Divine Inspiration at a cost of 50 gems. Gems are bought using real life money. On the top of the window is a button that reads "Add more gems." That will take you to a screen where you can buy gems.
Come back to the "General" tab to buy the Divine Inspiration.
If you want more than one, then buy the "Divine Ascension" on the "Chest" tab. You will get 5 Divine Inspirations for 200 gems (40 gems/DI). That is a significant savings from the normal 50 gems per DI.
I have won a Divine Inspiration through Merlin's Magic Boxes
Win one with Merlin's Magic Tokens
The second way to gain a Divine Inspiration is through the lottery. Every day, you should help at least one of your friends with research or a building. These requests for help will usually show up on your Facebook home page.
You will earn one Merlin's Magic Token per day if you help a friend.
On your Kingdoms of Camelot screen, click on the box depicted in the picture to the right. If you have a token, it will show here.
Click "Play Now" and the magic boxes will be populated with quasi-random items. The boxes will be shuffled and hidden and you may choose one box. It is estimated that you will have a 1% chance of selecting a Divine Inspiration. Not great odds, but certainly is cheaper than buying one.
I have won a Divine Inspiration through the Tournament
Win one through the Tournament
Periodically, a tournament is held and players may devote the time and effort to accomplish the goals set forth. The highest ranking players in the tournament will win gems, and gems may be used to buy Divine Inspirations.
It is not easy to place high in these tournaments. It almost always precludes the "casual player" from winning the top prizes, but it is another option in the quest for Divine Inspiration. Remember, this is a social networking game and the vast majority of players log on throughout the day to update the building queues.
