The eleven Expertise levels

Each relationship milestone assumes its Emblem advancement has been completed. Current tables support the correspondence of eleven stages to eleven levels, but it is not presented as an official equation. Check the effect under Master Details → Expertise.

For Pan, the daily maximum is a limit, not a guaranteed number of chests without gathering. For Roman, a trigger chance is not a promise about every small set of battles.

Pan's gathering chests

Each chest grants one result from its list. The probabilities in the source file appear below; they do not mean that every chest contains a little of each resource.

Reward	Listed probability
10 Truegold	1%
1 Truegold	20%
1,000 Gems	2%
10 Gems	20%
1 item worth 100 Equipment XP	3%
1 item worth 10 Equipment XP	20%
1 general speedup of 1 hour	4%
1 general speedup of 5 minutes	30%

Roman's extra Arena chests

Reward	Listed probability
1 general Mythic Hero Shard	4%
1 Forge Hammer	6%
1 item worth 100 Equipment XP	8%
2 items worth 10 Equipment XP	20%
1 general speedup of 1 hour	10%
1 general speedup of 5 minutes	52%

A short run of chest openings cannot by itself confirm or refute these probabilities. The lists come from the KSL source file and the cited community databases; compare any changes with the chest preview visible in your game.

The initial trio's five research portions

We do not invent exact English branch names here. The level ranges let you identify the relevant portion.

Research steps	Emblems per step	Emblems for this portion
1 to 200	10	2,000
201 to 400	10	2,000
401 to 600	10	2,000
601 to 800	20	4,000
801 to 1,000	20	4,000
Total	—	14,000

The maximum general research bonus reaches +32% Troop Health for Valora, +32% Lethality for Pan and +32% Attack for Roman. Their branch bonuses focus respectively on Infantry, Archers and Cavalry. This cost table does not claim to describe every intermediate reward.
