How to Get the Best Deals When Spending in Sea of Conquest
Here’s a guide to spending smart and getting the most loot for your real-world currency.
1) Understand Your Value—Emeralds, Speed-Ups & Resources
When you do spend in Sea of Conquest, aim for points where in-game currency (especially Emeralds, Speed‑Ups, Wood, Iron, and Echo Conchs) gives the best returns. Speed‑Ups are particularly valuable when saved for long build or upgrade timers; consider using them strategically for flagship-level or important facility upgrades, rather than sprinkling them across minor tasks.
Echo Conchs let you summon free crews—high ROI when you need to strengthen quickly.
2) Redeem All Available Codes—It’s Free Treasure
Take advantage of currently working codes to top up your vault without opening your wallet. As of early August 2025, these codes are confirmed active:

3) Maximize Efficiency with Build Speed-Ups
Use the free Speed‑Ups you collect (via codes or gameplay) for long build or research timers—this delivers much more value per minute saved than using tiny accelerations on trivial tasks. Also, if you do spend Emeralds, combine them with these free speed‑ups to reduce wait time without draining your wallet.
4) Stack Codes with Login Bonuses and Events
Codes are just one piece of the puzzle. Also use daily login rewards, special event gifts, and milestone shipments to stock up. Events will often offer goodies like consumables or rare items—I’d hang onto these for times when your resource demand spikes.
5) Use “Get-Paid-To” (GPT) Platforms (Optional but Powerful)
If you’re open to indirect returns on your spend, consider playing through GPT offerwalls (e.g., RewardXP, Freecash, Earnably). These reward you—sometimes hundreds or even thousands in GBP or USD—for reaching milestones like Flagship Level 21, 26, 30, and beyond.
Essentially, you earn money by playing the game and upgrading your flagship, which can offset your spending entirely or even net you profit. But be mindful: climbing to flagship level 30 may require substantial time—or spending. Level 21 or 26 can be realistic goals and still bring solid returns.
6) Join the Community & Follow Official Channels
New codes often appear during events (holidays, anniversary, updates). Keep an eye on official social media accounts, Discord, or fan forums to catch these as soon as they’re released. Pocket Gamer highlights these regularly too.
Sharing codes with your guild or community can also help others stay stocked.
7) Spend Gems—But Choose Your Timing Wisely
If you’re buying Emerald packs, look for bonus value packs—these often give extra Emeralds or come with small freebies like speed-ups. Coordinate your expenditure with game events (like limited-time discounts or special bundles). If none are available, save Emeralds for essential upgrades, crew summons, or binding actions that unlock better long-term gains.
8) Keep Track—Organize & Optimize
Finally, track which codes you’ve redeemed (they’re often one-time use only), and keep a stash of unused Speed-Ups or Echo Conchs for key moments. Use a simple note or spreadsheet to avoid duplicate attempts or letting codes go to waste.
