Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is set for a massive update on August 19, bringing fresh regions and narrative beats to the table. We are finally heading to Casterly Rock, where a new epic involving the Lannister family awaits. If you want to dive in the moment the update drops, you had better get your affairs in order now.

Calculating RP and crafting Summer Fragrant Wine

In Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, RP acts as the essential currency for claiming field content rewards. With the August 19 update looming, the game is introducing new regions and content. Crucially, as the world difficulty scales up, you will need a mountain of RP to grind for Tier 5 gear, so start managing those resources strategically today.

RP regenerates by 1 point every 10 minutes, so try to time your login so that your gauge is full when the update hits. The default cap sits at 300, though 'Complete Membership' holders can push that to 600. Just keep in mind that once you hit the ceiling, regeneration stops cold.

Also, do yourself a favor and craft 'Summer Fragrant Wine' ahead of time. You can only craft up to 12 bottles a week, and they expire in 14 days. A word of warning: craft all 12 at once. If you craft them piecemeal, their expiration timers will desync, leaving your inventory cluttered with individual stacks—a right headache you don't need.

Stockpiling content entry rewards

Certain daily rewards, such as those for World Bosses, regional events, and the Altar of Memory, reset every 24 hours. You can accumulate up to 7 charges for these, so I suggest holding onto them until the update drops rather than burning them now.

While the developers haven't officially confirmed new content for these specific modes, looking at the previous Stormlands update suggests we might see a new World Boss. Furthermore, the 'Basilisk' boss, currently live on North American servers, is a prime candidate for a local release on servers in South Korea.

Clearing the Worm Road

Make sure you finish the 'Season Worm Road' before the update arrives. While nothing is set in stone, these seasonal modes often vanish when the season ends. You definitely want to clear the final 'Infinite Space' stage to grab the Tier 4 Legendary gear blueprints—it is simply too good to pass up.

On the other hand, the permanent Worm Road is getting a 10-floor expansion, pushing the limit to 45 floors. Unlike the seasonal variant, this isn't going anywhere, but you still need to finish the current floors if you want to tackle the new ones once they open. The director noted in a recent dev log that the team plans to add 5 floors to the Worm Road for every 1-tier increase in world difficulty.
