Evony Tip – Evony Trebbing: the Art of Trebuchet Hero Leveling and Item Farming

Evony Trebbing. Trebuchet Leveling. Item Farming. These things all have one thing in common – the Defensive Trebuchet, an Evony defense fortification!

The Basics of Evony-Trebbing/Trebuchet-Leveling/Item-Farming

The basics of the process, in a nutshell, equate to repeatedly spamming one accounts insta-treb city from another account’s city that has lots of scouts. The trebs are worth alot of experience to build, so the Insta-Treb hero building them gets lots of experience. The spamming attack hero gets lots of experience for killing the pricey trebs. The defending city’s defending hero gets experience for killing all the scout spams. Plus, the defending account/city loses honor AND gets awarded lots of items for defending and winning the battles against the spam attacks.

What you need to start Evony-Trebbing/Trebuchet-Leveling/Item-Farming:

  1. One Instant-Trebuchet Account:
    1. Must have Hero with 1066+ Politics
    2. Must have Billions of Stone
    3. Must have Food equaling at least 15% the amount of Stone you plan to use. (150m food per 1b stone)
    4. Must have FULL Feasting Hall with no space in order to NOT capture spamming Heroes!
    5. (If being spammed to gain defensive hero experience, MUST have Gates OPEN and NO Troops. Highest Attack Hero in city always defends by default.

  2. One Scout Account:
    1. Must have roughly 666k Scouts to spam with per 1b Stone on Trebuchet Account being used.
    2. (If Spamming for purpose of gaining Hero Experience, must have Hero-To-Train ready in city to spam.)
    3. (If spamming to aid Trebuchet City in Item Farming, must have multiple heroes ready in city to spam.)

  3. The Trebuchet Building and Scout Attacking cities with heroes should be directly next to each other, 1 mile apart, for maximum effectiveness.
  4. If worried about spamming city heal-rate or honor-gain cities should have a single valley within 1.3 miles of BOTH cities.

That’s it, three to four crucial elements with some minor sub-details. No big deal! 😛


Here’s the process for Evony-Trebbing/Trebuchet-Leveling:

  1. Trebuchet City:
    • Fills Feasting Hall
    • Build 11000 Trebs – Clear Wall of any Traps, Abatis, Archer Towers, and/or Rolling Logs!
    • IF worried about spammer heal-rate/honor-gain – Reinforce nearby Valley with 100k Scouts.
    • IF defending with gates open for hero experience – Move ALL Remaining Troops Out of the City!
  2. Spamming City:
    • IF worried about spammer heal-rate – Use a Penicillin.
    • IF Trebuchet City Reinforced Valley – Attack Valley with junk hero and 1 scout.
    • Land another Attack on Trebuchet City with Hero-To-Train and 23333 Scouts AFTER Valley attack has landed.
  3. REPEAT! (Minus using Penecillin – Only needed once every 24 hours.)

Most skill players, and bots, can get the above sequence achieved about once every 15 seconds. At roughly 700k hero experience per hit for the Spammer, 160k for the defender hero if gates are open, and 913k hero experience for treb Hero every 11k trebs built, that equals about:

168m Experience per Hour for Spammer Hero ((4×700000)60)
3.864b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Spammer Hero ((4×700000)60)23)
and:
38.4m Experience per Hour for Trebuchet City Defending Hero ((4×160000)60)
883.2m Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Trebuchet City Defending Hero (((4×160000)60)23)
and:
219.12m Experience per Hour for Trebuchet Building Hero ((4×913000)60)
5.04b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Trebuchet Building Hero (((4×913000)60)23)

Not bad! If not worried about heal-rate or honor-gain, remove the valley steps to shave some time off each hit and get the process down to about 12 seconds per hit. 🙂


Here’s the process for Item-Farming: (Doesn’t account for Honor-Gain or Heal-Rate, just goes for more items!)

  1. Trebuchet City:
    • Fills Feasting Hall
    • Build 11000 Trebs – Clear Wall of any Traps, Abatis, Archer Towers, and/or Rolling Logs!
    • IF defending with gates open for hero experience – Move ALL Remaining Troops Out of the City!
  2. Spamming City:
    • Attack Trebuchet City with as many Junk Heroes and 23333 Scouts per wave as possible.
  3. Trebuchet City:
    • Try to keep Defensive Trebuchets at 11000 as spam attacks roll in!
  4. REPEAT!

Most skill players, and bots, can achieve 10 Spam waves outgoing in about 30 seconds. At roughly 700k hero experience per hit for the Spammer, 160k for the defender hero if gates are open, and 913k hero experience for treb Hero every 11k trebs built, that equals about:

840m Experience per Hour distributed amongst Spamming Heroes (((10×700000)2)60)
19.32b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) distributed amongst Spamming Heroes ((((10×700000)2)60)23)
and:
192m Experience per Hour for Trebuchet City Defending Hero (((10×160000)2)60)
4.416b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Trebuchet City Defending Hero ((((10×160000)2)60)23)
and:
1.096b Experience per Hour for Trebuchet Building Hero (((10×913000)2)60)
25.199b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Trebuchet Building Hero ((((10×913000)2)60)23)

Whoa! That’s a ton of experience – but it also costs a TON of dying troops and most Evony players won’t be able to keep up the above method of trebbing for very long. It’s mainly just a good way to win a lot of items in a short time from winning battles, mainly teleports and amulets – hence the name, Evony Item Farming!


Here’s the Single-Player Method for Evony Trebbing: (Wasteful, but good for leveling Treb Hero alone!)

  1. Trebuchet City:
    • Build 11000 Instant-Trebs – Clear Wall of any Traps, Abatis, Archer Towers, and/or Rolling Logs!
    • Demolish 11000 Trebs
  2. REPEAT!

You can do the above sequence once about every 6 seconds. At 913k hero experience for treb Hero every 11k trebs built, that equals about:

547.8m Experience per Hour for Trebuchet Building Hero ((10×913000)60)
12.599b Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Trebuchet Building Hero ((((10×913000)3)60)23)

Not as much experience as when Item-Farming, but over twice as much Treb Hero experience as normal/conventional Evony-Trebbing/Trebuchet-Leveling!


Just in case you are curious how this stands against conventional Speed Leveling: (Attacking Level 10 NPCs with just Archers/Meats, NO Trans.)

Even if you have a city that can attack 18 different Level 10 NPCs with Archers/Scouts in 1 hour, that only equals about:

34.02m Experience per Hour for Attacking Hero (18×1890000)
782.46m Experience per Day (maintenance accounted for) for Attacking Hero ((18×1890000)23)


Evony Speed-Leveling experience is pretty sad looking once compared Evony Trebbing experience, huh?
