The only information available is that the rarer the crest is, the more loyalty the knight you used it on gains. Please note that this will probably only be a temporary boost just like boosting loyalty with Gold. |

The Squire's chest, purchased at the shop for 90 gems
Crests are used by your Knights to increase their Loyalty, a feature which isn't fully implemented yet in Kingdoms of Camelot. They are also used to build your third city.
Where to find them
Crests are available by raiding level 5 Wilderness and above. See Tournament of Crests strategy section for advice on collecting crests from wilds.
It is also possible to buy a Squire's Chest from the Shop for 90 Gems . The Squire's Chest will give you:
- 1~3 Sir Bor's crests, and
- 1~3 Sir Ector's crests, and
- 1~3 Sir Kay's crests.
Loyalty
Even though announced and patched into game by Watercooler, loyalty has not been activated yet. The only information available is that the rarer the crest is, the more loyalty the knight you used it on gains. Please note that this will probably only be a temporary boost just like boosting loyalty with Gold.
Statistics
Based on record keeping from the Tournament of Crests and collecting crests for a third city, I think these are reasonable assumtions:
- Odds of dropping any crest from a level 7 wilderness = 1/20
- Bor's crest is twice as likely to drop as Ector's crest
- Ector's crest is twice as likely to drop as Kay's crest
- Therefore, when a crest drops: 4/7 will be Bor's, 2/7 will be Ector's, and 1/7 will be Kay's.
To get the Third City Deed, you need to collect 4 Bor's, 2 Ector's and 1 Kay's crest. We can calculate the odds of finding at least that many crests in a given number of level 7 wildernesses with a little programming. The results are shown in this graph (click it to view full size).
On average, players will need to farm about 200 level-7 wilderness tiles to collect the crests needed to build a third city. As the graph shows, it will take almost twice that for 10% of the players. That is a lot of farming, and a lot of troops lost to the 150 traps on each of those tiles. Collecting crests is neither quick nor easy.
Note that these results are based entirely on level-7 wilderness farming. How the odds change for different levels or wildernesses is not known.
