List of Advisors & Their Benefits

Note: This does not include the new Celtic advisors which will be listed soon.

You will acquire the ability to use advisors by purchasing or trading for them, they can also be found or awarded via quests. The effectiveness of the advisor depends on how the rarity of them ranging from; common, uncommon, rare and epic. Common advisors have the least impact while epic ones have the most.

While you can find them on quests and awards from quests, a quicker route to acquiring a specific advisor may be to trade for it with another player. Prices can vary wildly as some are more in demand in others. Epic advisors can trade for anywhere between a couple of thousand gold and 50K gold. Survivalist Agathon, for example, is a popular Age I advisor that can typically retail for around 20K.
