What to Check Before Buying a Rise of Kingdoms Account
Short Answer
Before buying a Rise of Kingdoms account, check its power, VIP level, kill points, passports, equipment, commanders, account access type, screenshots, and middleman communication. High power alone is not enough; account safety, migration potential, and real combat value should also be reviewed.
Buying Checklist
| What to Check | Why It Matters | What to Look For |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Shows overall account size, but is not sufficient on its own. | Power value combined with other metrics |
| VIP Level | Determines long-term daily rewards and bonuses. | Check VIP 14+, VIP 15+, VIP 17+ thresholds |
| Kill Points | Reflects combat history and offensive capacity. | KP relative to power; low KP may signal a passive account |
| Dead Troops | Provides additional signal about combat participation. | Evaluate alongside kill points |
| Passports | Affects kingdom migration potential. | Passport count and current kingdom info |
| Equipment | Value varies significantly based on intended play style. | Rally, garrison, open field, and farm sets; legendary count |
| Commanders | Determines fit for your intended play style. | Starred and specialized commanders relevant to your strategy |
| Gold Heads / Sculptures | Shows commander development capacity. | Count and which commanders they belong to |
| Resources & Speedups | Reflects active development capacity. | Resource amounts and speedup stockpile |
| Account Access Type | Affects risks during the transfer process. | Email, Facebook, Google, Apple, Game Center |
| First Purchase Receipt | Can serve as evidence of original ownership. | Is it available? Discuss with the middleman. |
| Updated Screenshots | Provides direct proof of the account's current state. | Power, VIP, KP, equipment, commanders, passports, resources |
| Middleman Details | Provides additional context for the communication process. | Middleman name, rating, and completed transaction count |
Is Power Enough?
Power gives a general sense of account size, but it should not be the only factor in your buying decision. A 100M-power account may underperform expectations if it has low kill points, weak equipment, or limited commander development. Always evaluate power alongside kill points, equipment, commanders, passports, and account access type.
Why VIP Level Matters
VIP level directly affects long-term account development and daily rewards. Milestones like VIP 14, VIP 15, and VIP 17 each unlock different advantages. A higher VIP level means fewer resources spent on daily development and more daily rewards compounding over time. For long-term players, this is a meaningful part of account value.
How to Evaluate Kill Points and Dead Troops
Kill points (KP) provide a concrete signal about the account's combat history. High power with low KP suggests the account was played more passively or focused on resource development rather than warfare. Dead troop count adds additional context about how actively the account participated in battles. Together, these two metrics give you a clearer picture of the account's actual combat profile.
Why Passports Matter
Passports determine the account's ability to migrate to a different kingdom. If you want to move to a specific kingdom, the passport count and kingdom age eligibility are critical factors. Confirm passport availability and current kingdom status before committing to a purchase.
How to Check Equipment and Commanders
The value of equipment and commanders depends heavily on your intended play style. Rally, garrison, open field, and farm accounts all require different setups. A high legendary equipment count matters less if the pieces are spread across sets that don't align with your goals. Similarly, commanders should be evaluated not just by count but by their star level, specialization, and relevance to your strategy.
Why Account Access Type Is Critical
The account's login method — email, Facebook, Google, Apple, or Game Center — has a direct impact on the transfer process. Each method carries different steps and potential access risks. Before any transfer, confirm the access type with the middleman and understand what will be required during handover.
Why Screenshots Matter
Updated screenshots are the most direct form of proof about an account's current state. Request screenshots covering power, VIP, kill points, equipment sets, commander list, passports, resources, and speedup stockpile. Outdated or incomplete screenshots should be treated as a reason to ask for more information before proceeding.
How to Think About the Middleman Process
Middleman details — name, rating, and completed transaction count — can give you additional context about the communication process. However, these figures do not represent a guarantee or warranty. Rokmarkt does not hold payments and does not provide escrow services. Rokmarkt is not a party to the transaction. All steps proceed between the buyer, seller, and middleman based on their own assessment and agreement.
Tips for First-Time Buyers
If you are buying a Rise of Kingdoms account for the first time, do not choose based on price alone. Check migration options to make sure you can move to your preferred kingdom. Confirm the account access type before transferring. Choose an account that actually fits your play style — whether that is rally, garrison, open field, or farm — rather than the one with the highest power number or the lowest price tag.
Final Summary
No single metric tells the full story of a Rise of Kingdoms account. Power, VIP level, kill points, equipment, passports, account access type, and middleman communication should all be evaluated together. Take time to review updated screenshots and ask questions before committing to any purchase.
