The latest Hero Wars Area of Conquest event brings new mechanics and some serious value with the rewards. Dr. Steain did a deep dive and has some interesting insights for you — whether you’re free-to-play or considering the Golden Ticket.
Castle Level 35 – The Realistic Target
Dr. Steain focused on a target most active players can reach: Castle Level 35. Since the event is 4 days long, this is achievable for those who stay consistent and active throughout the event.
He used three different valuation systems to evaluate the reward structure:
- His own personal framework
- The Hero Wars Guide
- And data from Hero Wars Fun
He found that reaching Level 35 without the Golden Ticket gives a reward value of 70,000 to 72,500 emeralds — which is already pretty good for free-to-play.
Hero Wars Area Of Conquest Golden Ticket Value – Is It Worth It?
Things get even better for those who buy the Golden Ticket. According to the same analysis, the total reward value with the ticket is 250,000 to 254,000 emeralds. That’s more than triple the value of the free path and a great return for a relatively low real-money investment.
Dr. Steain said:
“For that price, if you want to level your heroes — you should. It’s better than the Champion Season. More useful items and almost half the price for the same value.”
It’s a big statement but when you break it down, it holds up. The Golden Ticket in Area of Conquest gives Champion Season rewards with hero focused utility — and at almost half the price.
How to Level Up Your Castle
To climb the castle ladder you’ll need to earn Superior Coins and there are two ways to get them:
- Event Quests – These include:
- Logging in daily
- Earning VIP points
- Spending emeralds and energy
- Opening Outland chests
- Playing pet adventures
- Winning AoC battles
- Holding settlements
Each quest you complete gives you coins and moves you up the castle levels.1. Map Activities – You can also get Superior Coins by:
- Holding settlements on the AoC map
- Opening chests that randomly appear on the battlefield
These chests spawn and disappear fast so stay alert and move fast to get an edge.
Conclusion
With good coordination, daily activity and task management you can reach Castle Level 35 without spending a dime. But if you do decide to go premium the Golden Ticket is worth it.
This Area of Conquest is not just about map control — it’s an opportunity to make real progress on your heroes, get high value rewards and test the new matchmaking system. Whether you’re in it for strategy, rewards or guild glory this event has something for everyone.
