Silver Coffer
Silver Coffer
The Silver Coffer is the Alliance treasury dedicated to Militia Games and Temporary Buffs. It works alongside the Alliance Gold Coffer to provide short-term, event-driven bonuses that supplement the permanent Weekly Buffs.
Overview
- Each Alliance has its own Silver Coffer, separate from the Gold Coffer.
- The Silver Coffer fuels temporary buffs earned through Militia Games.
- 10% of the Gold Coffer’s total gold is automatically transferred into the Silver Coffer at each Weekly Reset.
- Silver Coffers can also receive direct contributions and contest rewards in future updates.
Relation to Gold Coffer
The Silver Coffer does **not** influence Weekly Buffs directly. Instead, it serves as a dynamic balancing system that ensures even low-income weeks provide gameplay opportunities.
| Comparison | Gold Coffer | Silver Coffer |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Weekly Buffs | Temporary Buffs (Militia Games) |
| Source | Taxes, purchases, policies | 10% Gold Coffer skim + contests |
| Duration of Effect | Full week | Temporary, event-based |
| Example Buffs | Crafting Zone, Merchant Stock, Dungeon | Combat, Defense, Gathering, Town Bonuses |
Militia Games
Militia Games are competitive Alliance events where players contribute to their faction’s progress to earn Temporary Buffs for all Alliance members.
- Events may include crafting challenges, PvP skirmishes, dungeon clear objectives, or economic goals.
- Winning Alliances receive Silver Coffer rewards that scale Temporary Buff strength.
- Losing Alliances still retain base-level buffs from their skimmed funds.
Temporary Buffs
Temporary Buffs are short-term, stackable bonuses separate from Weekly Buffs. Examples include:
- +5% Combat Damage for 24 hours
- +10% Resource Drop Rate for 12 hours
- +15% Crafting Success for 6 hours
- +25% Town Guard Damage for 3 hours
All Temporary Buffs expire automatically after their duration ends and are re-balanced weekly.
Weekly Flow
- The Weekly Reset skims **10%** of each Alliance’s Gold Coffer and deposits it into the Silver Coffer.
- Militia Games begin for the new week, drawing from the Silver Coffer balance for rewards.
- Temporary Buffs activate dynamically as milestones are achieved.
- Buffs expire or reset at the next Weekly Reset.
Buff Balancing
The Militia Game buffs are designed to complement, not replace, the Gold Coffer buffs.
- Silver Coffer buffs = short bursts of power.
- Gold Coffer buffs = stable weekly baseline.
- Combined, they create a cycle of fluctuating strength week to week.
Example Interaction
- The Gold Coffer determines that the Crafter’s Policy is active → boosting crafting speed by 40%.
- During the week, a Militia Game adds a Silver Coffer bonus of +10% temporary crafting success.
- The two buffs stack for a total of +50% crafting power during the event.
Developer Notes
- Silver Coffers create cyclical power balance between Alliances.
- Amount skimmed (currently 10%) and reward multipliers may adjust in Beta 2.
- Long-term, Silver Coffers may gain direct donation, contest, or PvP tax inputs.
