Evony Tavern Guide: Unlock Generals and Boost Your Gameplay
The Tavern in Evony: The King’s Return is a critical feature for any player aiming to build a strong lineup of generals. By visiting the Tavern, you can recruit generals using gold and progress in collecting the general sets featured in the Art Hall. Unlocking generals through the Tavern is not only a great way to strengthen your army but also provides significant buffs once you unlock the Art Hall at level 35. These buffs can give your gameplay a considerable edge.
Using the Tavern to Unlock Generals
The Tavern allows players to recruit a wide range of generals, including some of the most important ones needed for PvP, resource gathering, and city defense. However, generals in the Tavern appear randomly, requiring players to refresh the general selection using 50 Gems per refresh if hunting for a specific general. This cost can add up quickly, so it is recommended to prioritize your refreshes strategically.

Art Hall and General Sets
Unlocking generals through the Tavern is crucial for progressing in the Art Hall. The Art Hall becomes available at level 35 and offers buffs for completing general sets. These buffs enhance various aspects of your gameplay, such as troop stats and resource gathering efficiency. Completing general sets in the Art Hall should be a priority for late-game players looking to maximize their buffs. For detailed information on specific sets and their benefits, see the Art Hall Generals Guide.
Tips for Maximizing the Tavern
- Focus your refreshes on hunting generals that fit your current strategy, whether it’s PvP, monster hunting, or resource gathering.
- Keep a reserve of Gems for Tavern refreshes, but avoid overspending as Gems are a vital resource for other upgrades.
- Save gold for purchasing generals, especially those required to complete sets in the Art Hall.
- Check the Tavern regularly, as the selection resets periodically without the need for a refresh.
Conclusion
The Tavern is a valuable resource for recruiting generals and progressing in Evony. While it requires strategic use of Gems and gold, the rewards are well worth the effort, particularly when combined with the buffs from the Art Hall. Regular visits and careful planning will ensure that you unlock the generals you need to enhance your army and dominate in battles.
