Oracle

The Oracle link is under the Castle Age banner. There is also an Oracle button on the Oracle page. This is where you can buy monthly specials and six other additional offerings.

* Energy refill is limited to 2000 and Stamina to 1000.

** Only 2 army members below level 20.

*** Actual formula appears to be (4 x net income) + ($2k x level), rounded (down?) to nearest thousand.

**** Only available during the Arena event.

At the bottom of the Oracle page, you will find ways to buy favor points. There are also offers that you can complete to gain favor points. If you are considering filling out an offer, PLEASE read our notice first.

/Monthly Specials/
Every month, the Oracle offers four "special items", most often a new general and some related equipment, magic, or soldiers.

General costs Favor Points to buy

 * The level required is when they will be listed for purchase from the oracle.
 * NOTE** The level required is just to see them as an oracle offer, not required level to buy. You can simply buy Minerva at Lv1 if you have enough FP.
 * If you want to buy any generals listed, simply replace '##' with 'Number' and copy the URL into your browser. Hope this help for buying missed generals.
 * LINK TO BUY GENERALS :
 * BE SURE YOU WANT TO BUY THE GENERAL, AS THE LINK WILL USE Favor Points AS SOON AS YOU USE THE URL!
 * NOTE** Favor Points required. Again, General costs Favor Points to buy.

Latest General Offer
Ephraline


 * Bonuses listed are Passive Bonuses granted for that item while the specific General is Active.

Reinforcements
Newest addition to Castle Age by the developers. Currently, you can either increase your army to a higher level (regardless of your current army size -- you have to add up to 20 new members), or by using Favor Points, "Claim" Darius and his bonus weapons/items. The first item requires 4 new army members, and increases by 2 additional army members until you get to the Mythril Gloves, then the number is increased by 3 additional army members. Darius, will cost you 20 new army members, or 30 Favor Points.

Note: The Crusader set is the latest Reinforcement offer but for some reason, it goes back to show Darius' set once you have claimed everything from it.

Demi-Power
Demi-powers are the Castle Age world's five deities. Each one is tied to a stat, and every 24 or 48 hours, you may receive a blessing from one to gain demi-points and a stat point of the their alignment.

Treasure Chests
Treasure Chests are special items you can buy with favor points. Each Treasure Chest contains equipment, magic, soldiers and heroes. Most of the heroes and items are extremely rare or exclusive and can only be found in the chests. You can "pull" from the treasure chests from either the home screen or the Oracle tab. When pulling from a chest, you do not get to choose the item that you get. You can either get 1 randomly selected item, or 3 randomly selected items (depending on how many favor points you are willing to spend). However, Heroes are unique, and if you pull one that you already had, you are refunded some favor points. The amount of favor points that you receive is the same amount as it would cost to pull 1 item from that chest. For the Alpha Chest, this would be 20 favor points (even if you pulled 3 at once).

There are currently six types of Treasure Chests available:
 * Alpha Chest Chest_alpha_on.gif
 * One item for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Vanguard Chest Chest_vanguard_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Onslaught Chest Chest_onslaught_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Oblivion Chest Chest_oblivion2_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Annihilator Chest Chest_annhiliator_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Ascension Chest Chest_ascension_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points
 * Wrath Chest Chest_wrath_on.gif
 * One for favor points
 * Three for favor points

Item Rarities
There are 4 tiers of item rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic.

Your chances when purchasing a chest:
 * 55% chance for Common
 * 30% chance for Uncommon
 * 10% chance for Rare
 * 5% chance for Epic

Epic Generals
All of the chests contain four epic chance Generals that are unique. If you get the same General twice, you will be refunded 20 or 30 favor points (depending on which chest you pulled from) as you cannot possess multiples of one general. However, because of this, it wreaks havoc on the drop rates.
 * If you've never purchased a Treasure Chest before, you have a 5% chance of getting an epic General.
 * If you already have one epic General, your chances of getting another one drops down to 3.75% (5% * 75%)
 * If you already have two Generals, your chances drop down to 2.5% (5% * 50%)
 * If you already have three Generals, your chances of getting the fourth General is 1.25% (5% * 25%)

Chest simulator
To get a feeling for chest rolls, you can try Defyeler's simulator at http://www.defyeler.com/ca/chests/. You won't lose FPs, but you also won't get any chest content.

Important Note about Special Offers
Filling out special offers can be long, annoying and fruitless. Offers usually require you to provide not only your email, but also your personal information (name, address, phone number) before they are complete. If you wish to get favor points, it is recommended to just pay the Castle Age developers directly.

Also note, many of these offers are, in actuality, scams. Some players have been known to effectively manipulate these offers as a means to gather free favor points. However, as previously stated, a great deal of patience is required for doing this, because, even upon completion, said offers have been known to occasionally not follow through with the promised favor points.

The most "trustworthy" offers are generally the ones that offer very, very few points (typically, the ones that only offer 2 points) because they are (for example) simple gaming websites trying to encourage others to try out their sites to innocently attempting to build their popularity with incentives to join their communities.

Most offers, on the other hand, have the ultimate goal of putting the player's personal/contact information into advertising/spamming lists, or worse yet, "sneak" small fees onto one's monthly credit card bill. It is highly recommended that you never provide a phone number, mailing address, and especially not a credit card number to any of these often-illegitimate offers.

if you have a lot of patience filling out the free offers especially surveys and registration for diffrent groups can get you quite a few favor points. also there is usally a video that if you qwatch it will give you a link that you can click on and get one favor point. I have gotten a total of 300+ favor points from five months of periodictly filling out forms but it can be very frustrating
