What exactly is klashing? Why would I want to participate in PVP? I have got the answers for you! Well, sort of. I am no pro and I am learning as I go but I can explain some things for those of you who may have no idea what the PVP portion of the game is about.
The PVP in Swords and Potions 2 is referred to as "klashing". It is a semi fun distraction from your everyday buying and selling and upgrading but also serves a purpose for betterment of the entire town! Each day a new Klash will begin against another town. The goal of the klash is to send your customers off with the best equipment you can provide to compete against a rival town chosen at random. You only get to send a maximum of 10 customers during the klash of which you then must wait until the next klash that will follow the next day. You can think of it as sending your customers on mini quests. Once you send one customer to the klash they will return the very next time you open your shop! So it isn't like you have to wait 17 weeks like you do during normal questing. Once they return they will receive some experience and show you which items survived the encounter. The items and equipment you use for each klash can break! So make sure to not use items that are too high of a level for the customer to use. Unless you just want big attack points and don't care if it breaks or not. So let us discuss the "attack points"!
Each item has their own "attack" value. Usually the more expensive/rare/hard to make an item is, the more attack value it has. So naturally the higher the combined attack value of the items you use the better off you will be. Just don't forget about the chance of item breakage!
The victor of the klash is determined by what town has the highest combined attack points after all the customers that were sent has been added up. However it isn't just a matter of sending people and adding values into one lump sum. Clicking on the PVP icon at the top right of your screen you will see that each town has 3 categories for klashing customers; rogues, warriors and spellcasters. To be victorious in a klash the town must at least win 2 of the 3 categories. So say for example one town sends only warriors that end up having a total value of something crazy like a 50,000 points and another town sends rogues and spellcasters of which both categories only have a value of 5 each..... the town that sent the massive 50,000 points of only warriors would still lose! Why? Because the town that sent rogues and spellcasters won 2 of the 3 categories! So it adds a little strategy to the PVP to make it slightly more interesting.
So what is the big deal? Why do I want to risk my good items and equipment for klashing? Well besides having a bit of fun there is another reason klashing is important. All of the attack points that is sent by our town is added up and sent to a "bank". Those points can then be used by the leader of the town for bonuses that benefit all town members. If you click the PVP icon and then clock the "bonus" button at the bottom of the screen you can see the available bonuses and how much they cost. The bonuses can do anything from improving the percentages of being able to sell items to customers to increasing resource regeneration speed to speeding up how quickly your customers return from quests. The bonuses aren't HUGE but they help. They will also become more beneficial with certain town upgrades. So if you are not wanting to participate in a klash because you fee like you can't send a enormous amount of points due to being low leveled or having low quality items just remember.... every point counts!!
Another positive of klashing is being able to receive "krowns". Krowns are tokens you gain from participating in klashes in which you can trade in to obtain rare/special ingredients. At first it may seem like the amount of krowns you get is not worth the hassle but as you grow to higher levels and get access to higher leveled items, higher amounts of krowns will become easier to obtain per each klash you participate in.
So those are the basics... I think. I am sure I left something out or didn't explain something clearly enough. So if you have more questions feel free to ask!
