One of the key tips to win in The King is Watching is to manage your resources effectively, and there are a whole bunch you’ll need to keep an eye on.
Of course, The King is Watching might not seem like an active resource-management title, but it’s crucial to have a fair idea about which buildings are active and at what point in time. Having the correct resources will make things easier, and more so during hard events in the latter stages of the game.
How to get all resources in The King is Watching?
The King is Watching has 14 resources. Typically, these resources can be separated into two different groups: basic and advanced. Basic resources are those acquired from a building directly and don’t have an input cost. These resources are produced automatically as long as you have constructed the designated building and keep it active.
| Resource | Uses | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Clay | Used to recruit units and repair castles | Clay Mine |
| Crystal | Used to research spells and also recruit Arcane units | Crystal Mine |
| Gold | Construct different builds, unit recruitment, and upgrade the Gaze area | Gold Mine, Market |
| Grapes | Used to make wine and for the recruitment of Veteran-tier units | Vineyard, Grape Bush |
| Ore | Used for unit recruitments | Iron Mine |
| Water | Used for making buildings that provide other resources in turn | All types of wells |
| Wheat | Recruit units, upgrade the Gaze area, and make Flour | All types of wheat fields |
| Wood | Make advanced resources, upgrade units, and general construction | Tree, Sawmill |
Unlike basic resources, advanced ones aren’t produced directly by your buildings. Instead, you’ll have to procure them from the basic resources via refinement using Advanced Production buildings. As an alternative, you can gain them from traders or events, but those methods are largely luck-based.
| Resource | Uses | Source of Production | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flour | Sellable item at the market. Can be used at Enchanted Stump and Dragon Hatchery | Mill | 1 wheat |
| Furniture | Can be sold for coins or Denarii | Carpentry | 3 Wood 1 Metal |
| Meat | Used at Lion’s Circus and Giant’s Bedding | Animal Farm Fisherman’s Hut | 5 Water Or 1 Water 1 Wheat |
| Metal | Used in the construction of Elite and Veteran-tier Barracks. Can also be sold at the Market | Forge | 1 Ore |
| Oil | Used to make Advanced Infrastructure buildings | Fuel Pump | 1 Water 1 Wood |
| Wine | Boosts morale during combat | Winery | 2 Grapes |
Typically, you’ll want to focus more on the basic resources compared to the advanced ones. The basic resources are required far more on every run, while the advanced types are necessary in niche situations. Their needs will vary across different saves. Additionally, all playable King has certain powers, and there are resource costs.
