Bounty Missions — Stop Doing Blue, Go Orange

Bounties don’t score State Ruler points directly, but they are one of the best daily growth paths in the game, for F2P as much as spenders — and orange bounties are big Alliance Duel points on shelter day (Tuesday). Most of us have been running purple and blue. Blue is a waste of a slot. Here’s how to do it properly.

1. Orange only — refresh until you get them

The mission list rolls 68% blue, 24% purple, 8% orange. If you don’t refresh, you get blue.
Orange bounties give orange skill books, and later steel and forging stones. Blue gives almost nothing that moves your account.
Refreshing costs 100 diamonds per refresh, roughly 1,200 diamonds to fill every slot with orange. Spend it. Purple is acceptable only when you’ve run out of refreshes.

2. The diamonds come back — sitting on them doesn’t

The chests from orange bounties and from trucks give diamonds back, so what you spend refreshing comes back as rewards. It’s a net gain, every day.
Stacking diamonds while running blue and purple bounties is the worst of both: your account doesn’t progress, and the diamonds do nothing.
Refresh tickets are used before diamonds. Trucks give bounty refresh tickets, and bounties give truck refresh tickets — run both every day and they feed each other, so most refreshes end up free anyway.

3. The daily routine (10 minutes)

Check Star Missions first. They come every 2 days, can’t be refreshed, and their orange rewards are much stronger than normal missions.
Refresh your unstarted missions until you have 5–6 orange, then lock in your 7–9 own missions.
Use all 5 Help Ally attempts and all 5 Plunder attempts, orange rewards first.
Each bounty queue runs 2 missions at once and doesn’t use your march queues, so it never blocks your other play.
Claim everything before the 00:00 reset. Unclaimed rewards are gone.

4. Tuesday and Saturday

Orange bounties score Alliance Duel points on Tuesday (shelter day) and again on Saturday. On Saturday, kills and HQ attacks are the bigger points, so bounties are a bonus there, not the focus.

Everything in this game is connected. Trucks feed bounties, bounties feed trucks, and both feed your heroes. Nobody needs to change everything at once; swap blue for orange this week, run your trucks, and the difference shows within a month.
