Isle of Gold is one of the newest and probably the most complex events in AFK Arena. It is a monopoly-based event where you need to roll the dice and expand your island. However, updating your base is only a tiny part of this event - you will also need to attack other players and defend against their attacks.

HOW TO START ISLE OF GOLD?

You will get 30 dice rolls from the start of this event. The problem is that most players make a mistake and spend the resources they have gained from these dice rolls pointlessly. Your task is to update fountains and flowers. After that, put 4 resource towers with diamonds, poe, dust, and lab coins.

With this, you will be much more powerful than other players and will be able to start growing your base. However, before expanding the base, you need to construct it - and the main thing you need to know while creating the base is that the most valuable buildings should be placed in front of the stables or harbor. Doing so will allow these buildings to be more effective.

GUIDE FOR ISLE OF GOLD

Here we have some of the most helpful tips for Isle of Gold event - with these, you can progress much faster than other players. The complete Isle of Gold guide should be effective not only in theory but in practice as well.

Use an attack strategy

The first thing you need to do after you open Isle of Gold is to choose a strategy. What buildings you will update, how you will attack your opponents and what alliance you will join all depend on your strategy.

An attack strategy is the best option in AFK Arena. It is way more beneficial in this game. When comparing equal battle attack and defence bases, the attack one will always win.

Moreover, if you choose the attack strategy, you can get +2 guaranteed attacks. During the server refresh at 00:00 UTC, these attacks are given to players who spend all daily attacks. If you opt for the defence strategy, it will be nearly impossible to spend these attacks effectively - but if your base is aimed at an attack, you won't have any problems.

Find an ally

Even though Isle of Gold is a solo game mode, it will be hard to survive here without a good friend. So, you need to find an active player and offer him the chance to attack each other daily using the “Revenge” function. Doing it will allow you to spend all your daily attacks and not lose resources while attacking or defending.

And if you consider finding another player challenging, you can easily create a second account and play using 2 accounts. Even if you do not have a second smartphone, you can play AFK Arena from a PC using an emulator. The second account can collect resources, make fake attacks, and be used for various other purposes. Moreover, there will be no risk of being banned since this is not prohibited.

Do not care about defence

In Isle of Gold, you can't be attacked more than 4 times daily - and even if you lose all defence fights, you will lose no more than 11 diamonds, which is low. So, the best option is not to care about the defence.

Moreover, if you allow your enemies to pick up the best rewards from the attack, they might message you and help you do the same. It is a big glitch in this event so it might be fixed soon, but at the moment of writing, it's still working. So, feel free to farm resources without the fear of getting banned.

Opt for the best opponents

Finding a perfect enemy is probably one of the most complicated tasks in the game. In Isle of Gold, you have 5 chances to skip your opponent. Generally, as the in-game balance is not so perfect, it is one of the best systems in AFK Arena.

And while finding an opponent, look at the base's buildings. For example, if there are a lot of resource towers like diamonds or lab coins, attacking this base will give you a high amount of resources. Or if the opponent has a lot of protective elements that reduce your damage, speed, and other stats, it would be best to skip such an enemy and attack a different base.

There is a trick, though. In most cases, you will be attacked by people who are aimed at attack. So, if you have spent all reset attempts, one of the best options is to attack them. These players mostly do not care about their defence. Therefore, attacking them is a perfect way to get resources effortlessly.

Even though Isle of Gold is one of the most complex events, it's still highly profitable for players. This event is like another game inside of AFK Arena, after all. And while you are here, make sure to read our AFK Arena ascension guide!
